Editorial Perspective: Another look at ˜optimal outcome’ in autism spectrum disorder / Inge-Marie EIGSTI in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 64-2 (February 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 64-2 (February 2023) . - p.332-334 Titre : Editorial Perspective: Another look at ˜optimal outcome’ in autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Inge-Marie EIGSTI, Auteur ; Deborah A. FEIN, Auteur ; Caroline LARSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.332-334 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This paper addresses the hypothesis that autism spectrum disorder features follow multiple long-term developmental trajectories, including an absence of symptoms that were present in childhood, by the time of adolescence. In early work on this topic, this circumstance was called an ˜optimal outcome’. To better reflect the reality of multiple excellent outcomes regardless of whether autism spectrum disorder features are present or absent, including autonomy, daily living skills, communication skills, and relationships and employment/activities outside the home, the terminology ˜loss of autism diagnosis’ (LAD) has been proposed as a substitute. The paper also contextualizes an LAD outcome within research, practice and advocacy.

Mental rotation and language in autism spectrum disorder / Caroline LARSON in Autism Research, 17-4 (April 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 17-4 (April 2024) . - p.785-798 Titre : Mental rotation and language in autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Caroline LARSON, Auteur ; Agata BOCHYNSKA, Auteur ; Mila VULCHANOVA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.785-798 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Though visuospatial skills are often considered a relative strength in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), unexplained difficulties relative to neurotypical (NT) peers have also been observed. Dissociations between spatial cognition and language skills in ASD may explain these difficulties given that these systems are linked in NT individuals. The current study examined performance on a mental rotation task that systematically varied stimulus features and the degree to which performance was associated with language in ASD relative to NT peers. Participants were children and young adults with ASD and 25 pairwise age- and IQ-matched NT peers (p's>0.53). The mental rotation task involved four conditions: two-dimensional (2D) abstract figures, three-dimensional (3D) abstract figures, 2D common objects, and 3D common objects. Structural language was measured using the grammar subscale from the Test of Language Development: Intermediate adapted for Norwegian. Mixed-effects model results indicated that autistic individuals were less accurate and had slower reaction time across mental rotation task conditions than NT peers. Language was associated with mental rotation accuracy for both groups across conditions, but with reaction time only for the NT group. The current study demonstrated selective associations between language and performance on a classic spatial cognition task in autistic individuals. Namely, there was a dissociation between language and in-the-moment efficiency in the ASD group, and this dissociation may reflect a broader dissociation between visuospatial and language systems.

Use of Mutual Exclusivity and its Relationship to Language Ability in Toddlers with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Janine MATHEE-SCOTT in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-10 (October 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 52-10 (October 2022) . - p.4528-4539 Titre : Use of Mutual Exclusivity and its Relationship to Language Ability in Toddlers with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Janine MATHEE-SCOTT, Auteur ; Caroline LARSON, Auteur ; Courtney E. VENKER, Auteur ; Ron POMPER, Auteur ; Jan EDWARDS, Auteur ; Jenny SAFFRAN, Auteur ; Susan ELLIS WEISMER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4528-4539 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Language development  Learning mechanisms  Mutual exclusivity  Novelty  Referent selection Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : To efficiently learn new words, children use constraints such as mutual exclusivity (ME) to narrow the search for potential referents. The current study investigated the use of ME in toddlers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and neurotypical (NT) peers matched on nonverbal cognition. Thirty-two toddlers with ASD and 26 NT toddlers participated in a looking-while-listening task. Images of novel and familiar objects were presented along with a novel or familiar label. Overall, toddlers with ASD showed less efficient looking toward a novel referent when a novel label was presented compared to NT toddlers, controlling for age and familiar word knowledge. However, toddlers with ASD and higher language ability demonstrated more robust use of ME than those with lower language ability.
