Autistic children?s visual sensitivity to face movement / Qiandong WANG in Development and Psychopathology, 36-4 (October 2024)

Here we focused on the basic movement of the eyes or mouth in guiding attention. The stimuli face blinked continuously or moved the mouth silently. In a large sample (145 autistic and 132 non-autistic participants) ranging from 3 to 17 years old, we assessed whether autistic participants showed reduced visual attention to basic movement of the eyes or mouth using a free-viewing eye-tracking task. We found that, like non-autistic participants, autistic participants increased their eye-looking time when viewing the blinking face and increased mouth-looking time when viewing the mouth-moving face. Furthermore, these effects were stable across ages, suggesting the presence of a developmentally stable attentional capture by basic face movements in both groups. We also found that autistic participants looked less at basic face movement than non-autistic participants. Our results suggest that autistic children and adolescents could modulate their visual attention to the basic face movements, but their modulation effect is weaker than non-autistic participants. These results further our understanding of the mechanism underlying visual attention-to-face movement in autistic people.

Mindfulness and Stress Among Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in China / Hui WANG in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-5 (May 2022)

It is important to identify factors associated with parenting stress. This study examined the indirect effect of parental dispositional mindfulness on their anxiety and depressive symptoms and family quality of life (FQOL) through mindful parenting and then parenting stress. Seventy-nine Chinese parents (24.1% fathers) of children with ASD aged 3-13 years completed self-report questionnaires. Results indicated that higher dispositional mindfulness was associated with higher mindful parenting, which was related to lower parenting stress, and further related to lower anxiety and depressive symptoms and higher FQOL. The findings provide valuable insight into the potential pathways through which general mindfulness and mindful parenting may positively impact parental outcomes.

Orienting to and away from the eyes in infants at high likelihood for autism when scanning faces / Qiandong WANG ; Ying Han ; Yixiao HU ; Xue LI ; Jing LIU ; Hui FANG ; Tianbi LI ; Yanmei Chang ; Li YI in Autism Research, 18-1 (January 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 18-1 (January 2025) . - p.166-178 Titre : Orienting to and away from the eyes in infants at high likelihood for autism when scanning faces : Autism Research Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Qiandong WANG, Auteur ; Ying Han, Auteur ; Yixiao HU, Auteur ; Xue LI, Auteur ; Jing LIU, Auteur ; Hui FANG, Auteur ; Tianbi LI, Auteur ; Yanmei Chang, Auteur ; Li YI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.166-178 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  eye movement  face processing  infants  visual attention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract This study employed eye-tracking technology to investigate the mechanisms underlying reduced gaze towards the eyes in infants at high likelihood (HL) for autism, specifically examining whether it results from avoidance triggered by heightened arousal when looking at the eyes or due to indifference to the eyes (i.e., unwilling to orient to the eyes). Infants at HL for autism and typically developing (TD) infants aged within 24?months were tested. In the experiment, participants' gaze was initially guided to the eye or mouth region immediately before the onset of the face. Latency to orient away from the guided regions, latency to orient to the eyes, and the location of the secondary fixation following the onset of the face were measured. The results showed that: (1) The HL infants looked less at eyes than TD infants; (2) Compared with TD infants, HL infants oriented towards eyes more slowly after being guided to the mouth; (3) After being guided to the eyes, HL infants' secondary fixation fell less in the eye region, and their latency to orient away from the eyes was also tended to be shorter. These results suggest that reduced eye-looking time was presented in HL infants, which was further explained by both eye avoidance and indifference to the eyes. Our study contributes theoretically to understanding the atypical face scanning pattern in autistic people and its related underlying mechanisms. Furthermore, our study provides important insights into the development of early screening tools and intervention protocols for autistic people.
