WHITEHOUSE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 36 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Eye-tracking could expedite autism identification/diagnosis through standardisation and objectivity. We tested whether Gazefinder autism assessment, with Classification Algorithm derived from gaze fixation durations, would have good accuracy (area under the curve [AUC] ≥ 0.80) to differentiate 2-4-year-old autistic from non-autistic children. METHODS: Community sampling (March 2019-March 2021) of 2:00–4:11 year-olds included children recruited into a diagnosed Autism Group (‘cases’) and Non-Autism ‘Control’ Group (with likely undiagnosed autism minimised). We recruited well beyond minimum necessary sample size to ensure within-group heterogeneity and allow exploratory subgroup analysis. Alongside Gazefinder eye-tracking attempted with all recruited participants, we collected parent-report measures for all children, and clinical/behavioural measures with autistic children. RESULTS: 102 autistic (81.4% male; M(age)= 44mths; SD = 8.8) and 101 non-autistic children (57.4% male; M = 40; SD = 10.5) were recruited and eligible; the former slightly older, proportionately more male, and reflecting greater socio-demographic diversity. Gazefinder autism assessment was completed with 101 non-autistic children (n = 1 returning minimal data), and attempted with 100- and completed with 96 autistic children (n = 2 not attempted following adverse responses to clinical testing; n = 4 attempted but unable to calibrate). The Non-Autism Group returned significantly more overall tracking data. The final Classification Algorithm (range 0-100; threshold score = 28.6)—derived from n = 196 children’s fixation durations to elements of social/non-social scenes, human face presentations, and referential attention trials—had AUC = 0.82 (sensitivity = 0.82, specificity = 0.70). Compared to those correctly classified, autistic children misclassified as ‘controls’ showed greater overall tracking, and less pronounced autism features and developmental disability. Compared to correctly classified non-autistic children, those misclassified as ‘cases’ were older with lower overall tracking. LIMITATIONS: Our groups differed on socio-demographic characteristics and overall tracking (included within the Classification Algorithm). We used the ‘Scene 10A’ stimulus set as provided, without update/modification. Industry employees who developed the final Algorithm were non-blinded to child group, and considered only gaze fixation durations. Community sampling and ‘case-control’ design—comparing diagnosed autistic vs. non-autistic children—could be improved via future referral-based recruitment. CONCLUSIONS: Most children tolerated Gazefinder autism assessment, and our Classification Algorithm properties approached those reported from other Gazefinder use and established clinical assessments. Independent replication is required, and research informing the most suitable clinical application of this technology.

Autistic and autism community perspectives on infant and family support in the first two years of life: Findings from a community consultation survey / Catherine A. BENT in Autism, 29-9 (September 2025)

Yet questions remain about acceptability of these supports to the Autistic and autism communities. Through mixed-methods participatory research - co-designed and produced by Autistic and non-Autistic researchers - we sought diverse community perspectives on this topic, including to understand the relative acceptability of different support options. A total of 238 participants completed our online survey: 128 Autistic and 110 non-Autistic respondents, some of whom also self-identified as parents of Autistic, otherwise neurodivergent, and/or neurotypical children, and/or as health/education professionals and/or researchers. Most participants agreed that very-early-in-life approaches should help parents understand and support their children, and disagreed that these should seek to suppress autistic behaviour. Most agreed with the goal of respecting infant autonomy, and that parent education towards creating sensitive, accommodating environments could be appropriate, albeit with nuanced differences-of-opinion regarding the acceptability of specific therapeutic approaches. Participants generally endorsed the terms 'support' (vs 'intervention') and 'early-in-life' (vs 'at-risk'/'pre-emptive'). Engaging equal-power partnerships for the development, delivery of, and discourse around early-in-life autism supports will ensure end-user community values and needs are respected.Lay abstract Most support programmes for Autistic children are available only after they are diagnosed. Research suggests that parenting supports may be helpful for parents and their infants, when provided in the first 2 years of life - before a formal diagnosis is given, but when information suggests an infant is more likely to be Autistic. However, we do not know how acceptable these types of supports might be to the Autistic and autism communities. We asked 238 Autistic and non-autistic people - some of whom were parents, and some of whom were professionals working in research, health and education - about their perspectives on very-early supports. People generally agreed that it could be acceptable to work with parents to help them understand and support their child?s specific needs and unique ways of communicating. People suggested a variety of support strategies could be acceptable, including parent education, changing the environment to meet an infant?s needs, and creating opportunities for infants' to make choices and exercise control. People preferred respectful and accurate language - including the term 'support' (rather than 'intervention') and 'early-in-life' (rather than 'at-risk' of autism, or 'pre-emptive' when describing developmental stage). Continuing to work with community members will help to make sure autism support programmes are relevant and helpful.

Brief report: bidirectional association of core autism features and cognitive abilities in early childhood / Daniel BERENDS ; Kristelle HUDRY ; Giacomo VIVANTI ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE ; Catherine A. BENT in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 54-7 (July 2024)

Bidirectional, cross-domain association was apparent, albeit with stronger direction of effect from earlier cognition to later autism features (than vice versa). Exploratory sub-domain analysis showed that early non-verbal developmental/cognitive abilities (only) predicted subsequent social- and restricted/repetitive autism features, whereas early social features (only) predicted both subsequent verbal and non-verbal abilities. Although observational study design precludes causal inference, these data support contemporary notions of the developmental interconnectedness of core autism presentation and associated abilities-that behavioural autism features may influence cognitive development, but are likely also influenced by an individuals' cognitive capacity.

Caregiver sensitivity predicts infant language use, and infant language complexity predicts caregiver language complexity, in the context of possible emerging autism / Jodie SMITH in Autism Research, 16-4 (April 2023)

In the context of infants showing early signs of autism, we investigated prospective bidirectional associations with 6-min free-play interaction samples collected for 103 caregivers and their infants (mean age 12-months; and followed up 6-months later). We anticipated that measures of caregiver sensitivity/language input and infant language would show within-domain temporal stability/continuity, but also that there would be predictive associations from earlier caregiver input to subsequent child language, and vice versa. Caregiver sensitive responsiveness (from the Manchester Assessment of Caregiver-Infant interaction [MACI]) predicted subsequent infant word tokens (i.e., amount of language, coded following the Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts [SALT]). Further, earlier infant Mean Length of Utterance (MLU; reflecting language complexity, also derived from SALT coding) predicted later caregiver MLU, even when controlling for variability in infant ages and clear within-domain temporal stability/continuity in key measures (i.e., caregiver sensitive responsiveness and infant word tokens; and infant and caregiver MLU). These data add empirical support to theorization on how caregiver input can be both supportive of, and potentially influenced by, infant capacities, when infants have social-communication differences and/or communication/language delays suggestive of possible emerging autism.
