We found that, controlling for demographic and clinical features: (i) hypersensitivity in the vision domain predicted higher levels of both EDs symptoms and autistic eating behaviours; (ii) hyposensitivity in the taste domain predicted higher levels of EDs symptoms. This gives preliminary evidence that not only in children diagnosed with ASDs, but even in adult individuals, the threshold of sensory sensitivity is associated with dysfunctional eating behaviours.

Thirty autistic individuals and 30 NT underwent an EEG recording while watching short videos depicting goal-oriented action filmed from a fixed position, zooming in on the scene, and approaching the scene by means of a steadycam. Then, participants underwent a rating task to evaluate their subjective viewing experience. We found that steadycam videos elicited enhanced event-related desynchronization (ERD), suggestive of enhanced neural activity, in the NT group, and a reduced ERD in the autistic group, compared to the other filming conditions. Autistic participants also showed difficulties in returning to baseline mu-power levels after watching videos filmed from a fixed position. Finally, NT reported feeling more comfortable watching videos with movement, whereas autistic participants did not exhibit differences between conditions. We speculated that static, less naturalistic stimuli might impose higher and prolonged cognitive demands on autistic individuals. Understanding these differences might help develop tailored interventions to support perceptual, cognitive, and social processes of autistic people.

Eating disturbances in adults with autism spectrum disorder without intellectual disabilities / Benedetta DEMARTINI in Autism Research, 14-7 (July 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-7 (July 2021) . - p.1434-1443 Titre : Eating disturbances in adults with autism spectrum disorder without intellectual disabilities Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Benedetta DEMARTINI, Auteur ; Veronica NISTICÃ’, Auteur ; Vincenzo BERTINO, Auteur ; Roberta TEDESCO, Auteur ; Raffaella FAGGIOLI, Auteur ; Alberto PRIORI, Auteur ; Orsola GAMBINI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1434-1443 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adult  Autism Spectrum Disorder/complications/epidemiology  Humans  Intellectual Disability/complications/epidemiology  Prevalence  Self-Control  Autism Spectrum Disorder  Sweaa  body image  eating disorders  eating problems  intellectual disabilities Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is a growing interest in the relationship between autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and eating disorders (EDs), two relatively common conditions lying on a spectrum from mild to severe clinical features. However, only limited data are available about pathological eating behaviors throughout adults on the autistic spectrum. The aim of the present study is to assess dysfunctional eating behaviors, including EDs manifestations and ASDs-related eating disturbances, in a population of adults with ASDs without intellectual disabilities. We recruited 106 adults on the autistic spectrum, without intellectual disability and 103 neurotypical adults (NAs). Participants completed the "Eating Attitude Test" (EAT-26), to measure symptoms and concerns characteristic of EDs, and the "Swedish Eating Assessment for Autism Spectrum Disorders" (SWEAA), to assess eating behaviors frequently observed within the autistic spectrum. Participants with ASDs scored significantly higher than NA at the EAT-26 and at the SWEAA. Moreover, participants with ASDs scored higher than NA at the EAT-26 subscales Dieting and Bulimia. The difference between groups remained significant after controlling for the effect of age, biological sex, and BMI. These results suggest that adults with ASDs without intellectual disability presented not only a higher prevalence of eating disturbances typical of the autistic spectrum, but also other symptoms of EDs in comparison to NA. LAY SUMMARY: For both scales assessing eating disturbances (EAT-26 and SWEAA), participants with ASDs scored higher than NA, presenting a higher prevalence both of eating disturbances typical of ASDs and of ED symptoms (distorted body image, tendency toward bulimic behaviors, and self-control of eating).

Traits of narcissistic vulnerability in adults with autism spectrum disorders without intellectual disabilities / Veronica NISTICÃ’ ; Bianca DI PAOLO ; Raffaella FAGGIOLI ; Angelo BERTANI ; Orsola GAMBINI ; Benedetta DEMARTINI in Autism Research, 17-1 (January 2024)

Here we investigated the dimensions of narcissistic vulnerability and grandiosity in a sample of 87 adults diagnosed with ASD without intellectual disabilities through the administration of the Pathological Narcissism Inventory-52 Items (PNI-52). The mean scores of our sample were compared with the normative distribution available in the literature, and we found that individuals with ASD scored significantly higher than neurotypical controls at the Total Score and at the Vulnerable Narcissism subscale, but not at the Grandiose Narcissism subscales. Demographic features did not influence these results. Vulnerable narcissism was significantly associated with the ?Ritvo Autism and Asperger Diagnostic Scale - Revised? subscale Social Relatedness. These findings could potentially be indicative of a greater comorbidity rate between the two disorders with respect to the one reported to date, possibly because DSM-5 criteria are mainly focused on the grandiose dimension. Potential explanatory links between ASD phenomenology and vulnerable narcissism, such as the personality dimension of neuroticism, are discussed, together with the possible role of narcissistic vulnerability in mediating internalizing symptoms (e.g., anxiety, depression) in individuals with ASD.
