This topic has become one of the most heavily studied in the child health/mental health field. Even within this group of disorders, considerable variability in symptoms is evident. A variety of subtopics within this area have been studied. Topics include types of communication deficits specific to autism, developmental course including language regression, communication as an aid in differential diagnosis, and collateral behaviors. This paper reviews selective research on these topics and further directions for study.

All participants received baseline and post-condition assessments in the areas of self-regulation (Irritability, Lethargy, Stereotypic Behavior, and Hyperactivity), adaptive living skills, and motor skills. Participants who completed 10 weeks of THR demonstrated significant improvements on measures of Irritability, Lethargy, Stereotypic Behavior, Hyperactivity, expressive language skills, motor skills, and verbal praxis/motor planning skills. When compared to the pre- and post-assessments of participants from the waitlist control condition, the THR group still showed significant improvements in self-regulation behaviors. The THR-specific change from the baseline to post-assessments suggests that the improvements are related to the THR treatment.

Very early signs of autism reported by parents include many concerns not specific to autism criteria / Vincent GUINCHAT in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)

This information was categorized so that it could help healthcare professionals improve early detection of autism. We designed a questionnaire using an open-ended format, and 459 questionnaires were completed by parents to assess difficulties encountered in obtaining a diagnosis for their child. Answers about their first motive of concerns were categorized and compared with regards to age, gender, birth order, age of onset, delay in seeking professional advice, and delay in diagnosis. Concerns about social development or autistic behaviors were frequent, but not exclusive. Parents were divided into three clusters of concerns: (a) an “early awareness group”: which included motor problems and passivity (14.6 months); (b) “intermediate awareness group”: included emotional, hyperactivity, and sleep problems (15.3 months); and (c) a “later awareness group”: which included communication problems, poor social interaction, and autistic-type behaviors (22.3 months). Parents who noticed general concerns not specific to autism were worried earlier, but received a later diagnosis. We suggest that motor problems, and/or emotional problems, and/or the level of a child's activity should encourage frontline professionals to seek autistic symptoms in infants.

Through electronic databases and hand searching, 20 studies were identified meeting pre-determined inclusion criteria. Studies were summarized and analysed in terms of (a) participants, (b) adaptive skill(s) targeted for intervention, (c) intervention procedures, and (d) intervention outcomes. Certainty of evidence was assessed through critical appraisal of each study's design and other methodological characteristics. Social interaction skills were the most common intervention targets (n = 8), followed by practical academic skills (n = 6), vocational skills (n = 5), and domestic skills (n = 1). Improvements in adaptive skills were reported by 19 studies. Interventions consisting of low or high tech assisted procedures (e.g., video modeling, visual cues, self-recording and self-reinforcement, self-prompting), reinforcement contingencies, and corrective feedback using prompts were found to be most promising. Five studies were identified as having the methodological rigor to provide conclusive results. Insufficient control for alternative explanations for behavior outcomes and reliance on pre- or quasi-experimental designs hindered the certainty of evidence for the remaining studies. Implications for clinical practice and future research are discussed.

Supervision of children with an autism spectrum disorder in the context of unintentional injury / Rachel N. S. CAVALARI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)

The present study sought to determine the effect of an ASD diagnosis, self-reported supervision styles, and supervisor characteristics on behavioral supervisory responses in childhood injury risk scenarios. Objective eye tracking methodology was utilized to allow for greater precision during measurement of behavioral responses exhibited by 161 young adults between the ages of 18 and 26 years old. Multivariate analyses revealed that participants engaged in more effective child monitoring strategies when asked to imagine that children they were viewing were diagnosed with an ASD, p < .01, η2 = .07; however, effects diminished when self-reported knowledge of developmental norms, supervision styles, and general stress were statistically controlled. Caregiver characteristics were also interdependent with child gender in relation to differential behavioral supervision responses. Overall, results suggest that idiographic perspectives on supervision and child safety predict the speed of caregiver intervention responses and differential supervisory monitoring behavior. Implications are discussed with emphasis on adult-mediated injury prevention programs emphasizing the quantitative and qualitative aspects of caregiver supervision for individuals with an ASD in home, residential, and school settings.

We also determined whether participants’ interpretations of irony were affected by the relationship between characters in the interactions. Participants role-played as addressees in computer-mediated conversations that contained ironic and literal remarks made by speakers and that varied according to the speaker's relationship with the addressee: a same-aged friend, an older relative, or no relationship information. Children and adolescents with HFASD were just as accurate as TD controls in comprehending ironic criticisms and in judging the speaker's intentions to criticize and to convey humor. Both participant groups considered the speaker's relationship with the addressee in their attributions of the ironic speaker's belief but not the speaker's intentions to convey criticism or humor. Unlike TD controls who commented on the context when typing their initial thoughts, participants with HFASD provided no response. The two groups, however, provided similarly themed typed responses for both ironic criticisms and literal compliments. We suggest that tasks which impose minimal social and verbal demands offer a promising way to assess pragmatic abilities in individuals with HFASD.

Specific profiles have been proposed in different age groups, but no study has focused specifically on adolescents. Identifying traits of ASD that are shared by individuals with ASD and their non-affected family members can shed light on the genetic underpinnings of ASD. Eighty adolescents with ASD (64 boys, 16 girls), 56 non-affected adolescent siblings (21 boys, 35 girls) and 33 adolescent controls (18 boys, 15 girls) filled out the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile, a self-report questionnaire resulting in four sensory quadrants according to Dunn's model of sensory processing. Adolescents with ASD differed significantly from controls on the quadrants Sensation Seeking and Sensation Avoidance. On quadrant 2 (Sensation Seeking) siblings scored significantly lower than controls and significantly higher than ASD. These results confirm the presence of atypical sensory processing in adolescents with ASD. We argue that reduced Sensation Seeking might be a candidate for an intermediate phenotype.

The current study utilized data from the Simons Simplex Collection (SSC; n = 1355 children with ASD and 1351 siblings) to investigate this relationship. Phenotypic measures included (a) the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R), the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-II (VABS-II) for the probands with ASD and (b) the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ), the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS), the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), and the VABS-II for siblings. Sibling data were first analyzed collectively, then analyzed by “older” and “younger” groups, relative to the age of the proband with ASD. Significant correlations were observed between probands’ and siblings’ VABS-II socialization domain scores; additional associations were noted between (a) probands’ VABS-II socialization domain scores and siblings’ CBCL internalizing subscale scores when only younger siblings were analyzed, and (b) probands’ ADOS Reciprocal Social Interaction (RSI) domain scores and the sibling SCQ scores when only older siblings were analyzed. These findings suggest that typically developing children may have a small yet meaningful influence on the prosocial development of their siblings with ASD.

Intraverbal training consisted of a transfer-of-control procedure in which the participants were taught to answer questions in the form of “What is the state bird of [name of state]” using either picture prompts (tact-to-intraverbal transfer-of-control procedures) or vocal prompts (echoic to intraverbal transfer-of-control procedures). Prior to intraverbal training, the participants were able to tact pictures of all the birds. Following training, listener posttests showed that the participants were able to correctly point to pictures of the birds upon hearing the spoken name of the state, although those responses had not been directly taught. For one participant, the tact-to-intraverbal transfer-of-control procedure resulted in greater number of emergent listener responses.

We conducted a case-control study consisting 110 children with autistic disorder, 125 unaffected siblings, and 110 age-, sex-, and parental education-matched typically developing children, aged 4–13 years old. We conducted psychiatric interviews to obtain DSM-IV diagnosis of autistic disorder and confirmed by the Chinese Version of the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised. The mothers were asked to report on the self-administered questionnaires regarding sleep schedules and problems of their children and parenting styles. Our results showed that children with autism had more sleep problems, including early insomnia, middle insomnia, sleep–wake schedule disorders and daytime napping. Their unaffected siblings also had more risk of early insomnia, sleep-talking and nightmares, compared to the typically developing children in non-autistic family. We also found an association between bring-up experience and nightmare, and between maternal overprotection and middle insomnia and sleep–wake schedule disorder. The findings of increased risks for sleep problems in both children with autism and their unaffected sibling suggest that parenting counseling should be included in intervention of sleep problems in children with autism and their siblings.

Outcomes were compared for 61 children who received IBI and 61 individually matched children from a waitlist comparison group. In addition, predictors of better cognitive outcomes were explored (n = 142). Although random assignment did not take place, a standardized waitlist management system was used that did not include any prioritization other than time of referral. Groups did not differ significantly on available measures at intake. The treatment period tended to be longer than the waitlist period and this difference was controlled in analyses. At exit, the IBI group had better outcomes in all measured areas, with milder autism severity, higher adaptive functioning, and higher cognitive skills. Younger initial age predicted better cognitive outcomes in the IBI group but not the Waitlist group. Higher initial adaptive skills predicted better outcomes similarly in the two groups. Results support the effectiveness of community-based IBI and suggest that earlier age at treatment onset may increase the likelihood of better outcomes relative to comparison conditions.

Children were administered a test that was composed of ‘sensorial metaphors’, which are understood by normally developing preschoolers, that the children had to verbally explain. Two normally developing control groups, which were composed of 5- and 6-year olds, were recruited as well, as the highest age for this test is 6 years. A one-way ANOVA applied to the four scores from the test showed a partial delay in the ASD group with respect to the 6-year-old control group, but not with respect to the 5-year-old control group. The ASD group showed some capabilities in metaphor processing; however, there were also some atypical behaviors that suggest that ASD children process metaphorical stimuli in a particular way.

Bone mineral density accrual in students with autism spectrum disorders: Effects of calcium intake and physical training / Mahmood GOODARZI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)

For this reason 60 boy students with autism disorder (age 8–10 years old) were assigned to four groups with no differences in age, BMD, calcium intake, and physical activity: exercise groups with or without calcium supplementation (Ex+Ca+ and Ex+Ca−) and non-exercise groups with or without calcium supplementation (Ex−Ca+ and Ex−Ca−). The intervention involved 50 min of weight bearing exercise performed 3 sessions a week and/or the addition of dietary calcium rich food using enriched cow milk with vitamin D containing 250 mg calcium per serving, over 6 months. Paired-samples t test, one way ANOVA analysis, and Tukey tests were used to determine the main and combined effects of training and calcium on BMD. All groups showed greater femoral neck BMD after 6 months. The increase in femoral neck BMD in the Ex+Ca+ group was 14.04% greater than increase in the Ex+Ca− group (P < 0.05). Apparently, the effect of training was greater than calcium intake because the Ex+Ca− group achieved 4.71% greater BMD than Ex−Ca+ group (P < 0.05). In this study, all experimental groups had greater BMD than the control group (Ex−Ca−) (P < 0.05). In these participants, additional weight bearing exercise and calcium supplementation resulted in a greater increase in BMD than controls at the loaded site (femoral neck). These results help to provide more evidence for public health organizations to deal with both exercise and nutrition issues in children with autism disorder for the achievement and of peak BMD.

The level of maternal stress remained stable over time. Child characteristics predicting maternal stress are behavioral inflexibility toward objects and initiating social interactions. However, these factors do not predict maternal stress when analyzed in combination with children's emotional and behavioral problems measured on the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL; Achenbach & Rescorla, 2000). The subscales emotionally reactive behavior, withdrawn behavior and attention problems explain a third of the variance in maternal stress. This study revealed no relation between maternal stress and children's developmental age and IQ, receptive and expressive language, adaptive behavior, severity and subtype of ASD, behavioral flexibility toward the environment and persons, initiating and responding to joint attention, initiating and responding to behavioral requests, responding to social interactions and the other subscales of the CBCL. Findings are discussed in relation to the clinical and non-clinical norm groups of the PSI, the limitations of the study and clinical practice.

Do the traits of autism-spectrum overlap with those of schizophrenia or obsessive-compulsive disorder in the general population? / Akio WAKABAYASHI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)

The present study examined the relationship between autistic characteristics and schizophrenia-spectrum traits as well as between autistic characteristics and obsessive-compulsive traits in typically developed young adults. The Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) was given separately to two large samples. In addition, one sample (N = 662) was given the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ) to assess schizophrenia-spectrum traits, whereas the other sample (N = 347) was given the Padua Inventory (PI) to assess obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) traits. The results revealed a moderate correlation between the AQ and the SPQ total scores; however, multiple regression analyses showed that the “Cognitive-Perceptual” factor did not predict the autism-spectrum degree, although autistic characteristics and schizophrenia-spectrum traits had common social–emotional difficulties. Similarly, there was a moderate correlation between the AQ and PI total scores, which suggests that they had common problems in cognitive aspects; however, autism-spectrum and OCD traits differed with regard to other behavioral characteristics including repetitive or impulsive behaviors. Therefore, there was not a large overlap of the autism-spectrum and either the schizophrenia- or obsessive-compulsive spectrums, although certain traits were correlated with each other.

In addition, one sample (N = 662) was given the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ) to assess schizophrenia-spectrum traits, whereas the other sample (N = 347) was given the Padua Inventory (PI) to assess obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) traits. The results revealed a moderate correlation between the AQ and the SPQ total scores; however, multiple regression analyses showed that the “Cognitive-Perceptual” factor did not predict the autism-spectrum degree, although autistic characteristics and schizophrenia-spectrum traits had common social–emotional difficulties. Similarly, there was a moderate correlation between the AQ and PI total scores, which suggests that they had common problems in cognitive aspects; however, autism-spectrum and OCD traits differed with regard to other behavioral characteristics including repetitive or impulsive behaviors. Therefore, there was not a large overlap of the autism-spectrum and either the schizophrenia- or obsessive-compulsive spectrums, although certain traits were correlated with each other.

The potential relationship between motor performance and EF in children with PDD-NOS is investigated as well. The children's motor skills were evaluated with the Movement ABC. EF, in terms of planning ability, strategic decision making, and problem solving, was gauged with the Tower of London (TOL) task. Compared with their typically developing peers, the children with PDD-NOS scored poor on the Movement ABC (p < 0.01) and the TOL (p < 0.05). They had significantly more definite motor problems than the normative sample of the Movement ABC: 43% (manual dexterity, p < 0.001), 25% (ball skills, p < 0.001), and 25% (balance skills, p < 0.001). There were significant inverse relationships between manual dexterity and the TOL score (r = −0.46, p < 0.01), and balance and the TOL score (r = −0.41, p < 0.05), indicating that children with a better performance on the manual dexterity subtest and the balance subtest had a better TOL score than children with a worse performance. Children with PDD-NOS have inferior motor skills, and these deficits are interrelated with planning ability, strategic decision making, and problem solving.

In current terms, children with autism have been found to process objects at the local level differently, which in some cases leads to their missing more global information or understanding. These local processing biases have been proposed to lead to overselectivity, enhanced discrimination, poor generalization, and poor categorization. There has been extensive research on these separate topics over the past 40 years. The current article provides a concise review and synthesis of key research findings from these areas. Problems with previous methodology and areas in need of further research are discussed.

Measurement of restricted and repetitive behaviour in children with autism spectrum disorder: Selecting a questionnaire or interview / Emma HONEY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)

To facilitate this requires understanding of the phenomenology of repetitive behaviours in ASD, including differentiating behaviours seen in ASD from other populations such as young typically developing and developmentally delayed children. A key factor in achieving understanding is valid and reliable measurement. This review considers the issues in conceptualisation of repetitive behaviours which should guide the choice of measurement tool, including definition of subtypes of repetitive behaviours, associations with age and ability, and categorisation of frequency and severity. The resulting conclusions about the requirements for measurement are applied within a systematic review of quantitative interview and questionnaire measures of repetitive behaviour used with children with ASD. The conclusions of the review lead to recommendations for existing and future research on restricted and repetitive behaviours in ASD.

The purpose of this study was to teach three typically developing children (ages 4–6) skills that were likely to increase the amount and quality of social play interactions with their brothers who have autism. A teacher used the teaching interaction procedure to teach typically developing children to provide clear instructions and prompt and reinforce appropriate play behavior such as joining into a play activity, sharing toys, and engaging in appropriate toy play. All three typically developing children learned the targeted skills during role-plays with a teacher and, to a large part, generalized the skills when they played with their brothers with autism. In addition, some children who learned these skills increased their positive interactions and decreased negative interactions during a free-play period with their sibling with autism.

To answer these questions, the focus of the present research was a nationwide census of ABA schools throughout the UK. As far as it was possible to ascertain, we achieved a 100% return rate. There were 14 ABA schools and classes throughout the UK, supporting 258 children with autism, and employing 382 staff that supported ABA teaching. The mean ratio for ABA staff to children was 1.4 staff members: 1 child (range 0.7:1–2:1). The majority of all staff members were graduates or had a higher academic qualification (67.7%). This census methodology, if repeated, may help to identify future trends and can provide a baseline for developments in ABA schools/classes in the UK.

Thirty-six children with autistic disorder and intellectual disability were compared with 27 children with intellectual disability and 33 typically developing children with a comparable nonverbal mental age (2–5 years). Level of sense-making was measured with the ComFor. Delays and deviant behaviors were assessed by using the Vineland Screener 0–6-NL and the Diagnostic Interview for Social and Communication Disorders. Levels of sense-making were substantially lower in the group with autistic disorder. At nonsymbolic levels of sense-making, children with autistic disorder and intellectual disability were much lower functioning in terms of social and communicative adaptive behavior than the children in the comparison groups with the same level of sense-making. Within the autism group, lower levels of sense-making were associated with more severe autism symptomatology in the domains of social interaction, communication, and imagination.

Participants were 40 children (20 children with autism, and 20 developmentally-matched typical children) between the ages of 2.75 and 6.5 years. Observational coding was conducted to assess children's joint engagement initiations, global interactive behaviors with parents, and parents’ responsiveness, behavior regulation, and attention regulation. Children's social competence with peers was measured approximately one year later. Group differences were observed in child-initiated joint engagement, children's interactive behaviors in the parent–child context, and individual aspects of social competence. Child-initiated joint engagement with parents was positively related to social competence with peers overall, and with less exclusion by peers and hyperactive-distractible behaviors with peers, in particular. In addition, parent attention regulation emerged as the most salient predictor of children's behaviors within the parent–child context. Findings are discussed with respect to implications for future research and intervention.

It is common for clinicians to assume that repetitive behaviors are maintained by automatic reinforcement but, as with any challenging behavior, the function of stereotypy should not be assumed based on its topography. Previous research on the functional assessment of stereotypy has produced mixed results, and most previous studies on the functional assessment of stereotypy in children with ASD have included small sample sizes, so more research in this area is warranted. In the current study, indirect functional assessments consisting of the questions about behavioral function (QABF) were conducted across 53 children and adolescents with ASD. The QABF produced interpretable results in a high percentage of cases and 90% of the stereotypic behavior appeared to be maintained by automatic reinforcement.

This study examined whether children receiving one year of EIBI (N = 35) would make larger gains in adaptive behaviors than a group of children receiving treatment as usual (TAU; N = 24). At intake, the groups did not differ significantly on chronological age or level of adaptive behavior. After one year of treatment, children in the EIBI group scored significantly higher on all scales of adaptive behavior as compared to the children receiving TAU. Moreover, children in the EIBI group showed significant improvements in adaptive behaviors, maladaptive behaviors, and autism symptoms after one year of treatment, and this change continued into the second year of treatment, albeit to a lesser degree. Limitations of the study include lack of independent assessments of children receiving EIBI, and lack of random assignment of participants to treatment groups.

A cross-sectional study was conducted to analyze data from 895,639 random health insurance claimants who claimed medical services in the year 2007. Autism was defined using the ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 299.0 (autism, current or active). The prevalence of autistic cases was found to be 12.3‰ (10,868/884,771) in the general population, with the prevalence among males (19.2‰) significantly higher than that among females (6‰). With regards to age distribution, we found that the autistic group (mean age = 16.0 years) was significantly younger than the general population (mean age = 37.2 years). A logistic regression analysis found that age, gender, residence urbanization level and Bureau of National Health Insurance regional division all constituted influence factors for autistic occurrence. The results demonstrate the importance of taking into account age, gender, and geographical disparities in autistic prevalence in order to implement appropriate public health policies for the ASD population.

In this study we examined cross-sectional age effects on patterns of visual attention to social and nonsocial information in 43 typically developing children and 51 children with ASD ranging in age from 2 to 18. Results indicated a sharp increase in visual exploration with age and a decrease in perseverative and detail-focused attention for both groups of children. However, increased age was associated with greater increases in visual exploration for typically developing children than for those children with ASD. The developmental differences were most pronounced for attention to certain nonsocial stimuli as children with ASD demonstrated a disproportionate attentional bias for these stimuli from very early in life. Disproportionate visual attention to certain nonsocial objects relative to social stimuli in ASD spanned from early to late childhood, and thus may represent both an early and a persistent characteristic of the disorder.

Sex differences in children with autism spectrum disorders compared with their unaffected siblings and typically developing children / Subin PARK in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)

Sex differences in core autistic symptoms, co-occurring behavioral symptoms, and cognitive styles were assessed in each group. Females with ASD were less severely affected than IQ- and age-matched males with ASD in the communication and repetitive stereotyped behavior domains, as measured by the ADI-R, but such sex differences were less significant than they were in the unaffected sibling group. Several behavioral/emotional symptom scores were significantly higher in male siblings than in female siblings. However, the ASD and TD groups did not show sex differences in any behavioral/emotional symptom scores.

Sex differences in core autistic symptoms, co-occurring behavioral symptoms, and cognitive styles were assessed in each group. Females with ASD were less severely affected than IQ- and age-matched males with ASD in the communication and repetitive stereotyped behavior domains, as measured by the ADI-R, but such sex differences were less significant than they were in the unaffected sibling group. Several behavioral/emotional symptom scores were significantly higher in male siblings than in female siblings. However, the ASD and TD groups did not show sex differences in any behavioral/emotional symptom scores. Males were superior in systemizing relative to empathizing, while the opposite was true for females in the unaffected sibling group and the TD children group; however, both males and females were superior in systemizing relative to empathizing in the ASD group. Our findings support the extreme male brain theory of autism, and further studies are needed to understand the mechanisms behind and developmental perspectives on the nature of sex differences in ASD.

As the onset of these features occurs at a very young age, early detection is of the utmost importance. In an attempt to better clarify the behavioral presentation of communication and socialization deficits to aid in early assessment and intervention, impairments in these areas were examined among infants and toddlers (17–36 months) with Autistic Disorder (AD), Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS), and non-ASD related developmental delay. The Baby and Infant Screen for Children with aUtIsm Traits-Part1 (BISCUIT-Part1) and the Battelle Developmental Inventory, 2nd Edition (BDI-2) were utilized to examine communication and socialization levels, respectively, among these groups. All groups significantly differed on level of socialization impairment with the Autism group displaying the greatest impairment and the non-ASD related developmental delay group evincing the least impairment. In regards to communication deficits, the non-ASD related developmentally delayed group differed significantly in comparison to the Autism and PDD-NOS groups; however, no significant differences were found between children with AD and PDD-NOS. While communication and socialization impairments were found to significantly correlate for all participants with the exception of those with PDD-NOS, these correlations were not found to significantly differ from one another across groups. The implications, limitations, and future directions of these results are discussed.

Numerous factors and their effects upon the presence and severity of challenging behaviors within this population have been investigated. However, there has been limited research to investigate the effects of cultural differences on challenging behaviors. The aim of the current study was to examine differences between cultures in the reported presence and severity of a multitude of challenging behaviors commonly displayed by children with ASD. The Autism Spectrum Disorders-Behavior Problems for Children was used to assess possible differences between the United States and three other countries (South Korea, Israel, and the United Kingdom). Relatively few differences were found between the United States and both South Korea and Israel, with the United States endorsing a higher presence and severity on items that differed. In contrast, the United States and the United Kingdom differed on nearly half of the behavior items assessed with the United Kingdom reporting greater endorsements. The potential implications of these results are discussed.

The groups were matched with regard to chronological age at the time of language assessment and nonverbal IQ score, then compared with regard to the severity of children's autism-related communication impairment, age of first words, age of first phrases, receptive language scores, expressive language scores, and functional communication scores. Univariate ANOVAs were performed for autism-related communication impairment, age of first words, and age of first phrases. A MANCOVA, with the total number of speech-language and applied behavior analysis intervention hours entered as a covariate, was performed on the remaining dependent variables. No statistically significant differences between the two groups on any of the language measures were observed. The results suggest that a bilingual language environment does not disadvantage young children with autism in the early stages of language development. Study limitations and research and clinical implications are discussed.

Here we aimed at assessing brain volume early in development to further elucidate previous findings in autism and determine whether this pattern is restricted to idiopathic autism or shared within the autistic phenotype (fragile X syndrome [FXS]). We investigated brain volume in 37 participants, using the fully automated Civet pipeline anatomical magnetic resonance imaging. 3 groups with intellectual deficiency: autism (AUT); its most associated FXS; and its most opposite Williams syndrome (WS) were compared with each other and with normal controls (NC). We report increased total and regional gray and white matter brain volume in AUT and FXS relative to WS and NC. These findings are discussed in light of the possibilities leading for the enlarged brain volume in children with the AUT phenotype. We speculate that this excess suggests reduced regression of neuronal processes “pruning” in cortical and subcortical regions in AUT/FXS, which may be due to a mutation in specific genes involved in pruning and/or a lack of socio-emotional environmental experience during a critical developmental period.

We compared the frequency of mental and behavioral symptoms, motor abnormality, and life history between adults with AS and those with no mental disorders but with disturbance of social functions and communication skills (ND) from our outpatient clinic. Participants with AS (n = 99) as compared with ND subjects (n = 63) showed significant higher rate of depressive mood, anxiety, unstable emotion, mood swings, oversensitivity to normal situation obsessive compulsive symptoms, persecutory idea, loss of energy, insomnia carelessness, restlessness, confusion in new environments, episodic agitation, inflexible adherence, egocentric behavior, self harm, circumscribed interest, poor lifestyle habits, non-athleticism, clumsiness, bulling at school, school non-attendance, social withdrawal, and lack of friendships. In AS, emotional instability and confusion in new environments might lead to social isolation. The findings demonstrated that individuals with AS experience greater social isolation and distress, as well as a wider range of mental and behavioral symptoms and disturbances of motor skills as compared to healthy subjects with disturbances of social functions and communication skills. These factors are interrelated and may be used as supplementary methods for differential diagnosis of AS from other conditions.

To date, few studies have attempted to remediate these deficits, and no studies of which we are aware have attempted to teach children with autism to understand metaphors. Metaphorical reasoning consists of complex verbal behavior, involving relations of coordination, hierarchy, and distinction, at a minimum. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate multiple exemplar training for teaching children with autism to attend to relevant features of the context in which a metaphor is used and to engage in the required relational responding in order to respond correctly to metaphorical questions. Participants included three children, ages 5–7. Results suggest that multiple exemplar training is effective for teaching children with autism to understand metaphors. Furthermore, generalization to untrained metaphors was found for all participants.

This apparent difficulty leads to the suggestion that prototype formation, a process of creating a mental summary representation of multiple experienced stimuli that go together in a category, may be impaired in autism. Adults with high functioning autism and a typically developing comparison group matched on age and IQ completed a random dot pattern categorization task. Participants with autism demonstrated intact prototype formation in all four ways it was operationally defined, and this performance was not significantly different from that of control participants. However, participants with autism categorized dot patterns that were more highly distorted from the category prototypes less accurately than did control participants. These findings suggest, at least within the constraints of the random dot pattern task, that although prototype formation may not be impaired in autism, difficulties may exist with the generalization of what has been learned about a category to novel stimuli, particularly as they become less similar to the category's prototype.

MATSON, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.931-938 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Single-case designs  Random stimulus design  Autism  Applied behavior analysis  Multiple baseline design  Reversal design Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The single-case research design has become a paradoxical methodology in the applied sciences. While various experimental designs have been in place for over 50 years, there has not been wide acceptance of single-case methodology outside clinical and school psychology, or the field of special education. These methods were developed in the U.S.A., and their acceptance internationally has been even slower. The development and popularity of applied behavior analysis for persons with intellectual disabilities and the tremendously popular field of autism, and single-case designs have been very closely inter-related and have helped spread the use of single-case designs. The purpose of this paper is to review the history, types of designs, and their maturation in the applied fields of mental health and special education.

Children with high-functioning autism and Asperger's syndrome: Can we differentiate their cognitive profiles? / Pascale PLANCHE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-2 (April-June 2012) . - p.939-948 Titre : Children with high-functioning autism and Asperger's syndrome: Can we differentiate their cognitive profiles? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Pascale PLANCHE, Auteur ; Eric LEMONNIER, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.939-948 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asperger's syndrome  High-functioning autism  Cognitive profiles  DSM-V Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The aim of this study was to investigate whether children with high-functioning autism (HFA) and Asperger's syndrome (AS) can be differentiated from each other and from typically developing children on their cognitive profiles. The present study included a total of 45 participants: children with autism (high-functioning autism or Asperger's syndrome) and a matched control group of typically developing children (n = 15 per group). Two tasks were used to establish their cognitive profiles: the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition (WISC-III) and the NEPSY scale. Our results highlighted differentiated profiles between the children with Asperger's syndrome and those with high-functioning autism. The first ones showed strengths on verbally mediated skills as well as weaknesses on visual-motor coordination and graphomotor ability, whereas the children with HFA exhibited a profile with deficits on tasks calling upon verbal comprehension and good performances on tasks requiring visuo-spatial skills. This paper argues for a revision of AS criteria in the forthcoming DSM-V rather than a combination of the two subgroups within the autism spectrum disorders in the diagnostic manual.

This study examined 175 individuals with HFASD, including 36 individuals who had a prior history of criminal behaviours (the criminal group) and 139 individuals without a criminal history (the control group), with regard to 15 types of childhood adversities (CAs). The age of initial HFASD diagnosis and history of neglect and physical abuse were significantly correlated with an increased risk of criminal behaviour. These findings agreed with previous studies on general populations. The unique characteristics of individuals with HFASD and a history of criminal behaviour are discussed.

To date, numerous factors affecting the rates of challenging behaviors within the ASD population have been examined including age, gender, ethnicity, and intellectual functioning. Controversy has arisen in regard to the effect of gender on challenging behaviors rates in individuals with ASD with some researchers finding differences while others do not. The aim of the current study was to examine the gender effects of children and adolescents with ASD on challenging behavior rates in an effort to assist in clarifying this relationship. Three hundred ninety-one children ages 2 through 17 years participated in the current study and were assigned to one of four groups: male with ASD, male without ASD, female with ASD, and female without ASD. Differences in rates of challenging behaviors between the groups were examined using the Autism Spectrum Disorder-Behavior Problems for Children. Overall, gender was not found to have an effect on the rates of challenging behaviors among children and adolescents with or without ASD. The implications of this finding are discussed along with possible future avenues of investigation.

As a result, the aim of the current study was to compare symptoms of ASD in children and adolescents (N = 208) who met criteria for ASD according to only the DSM-IV-TR to those who met criteria according to the forthcoming version of the DSM and to those that were typically developing. Participants comprising the DSM-IV-TR and DSM-V groups did not score significantly different from each other on overall autism symptoms, but both groups scored significantly different from the control group. However significant differences emerged between the DSM-IV-TR and DSM-V groups in the core domain of nonverbal communication/socialization. Implications of the results and the proposed changes to the ASD diagnostic category are discussed.
