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.

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

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 17-1 (January 2024) . - p.138-147 Titre : Traits of narcissistic vulnerability in adults with autism spectrum disorders without intellectual disabilities Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Veronica NISTICÒ, Auteur ; Bianca DI PAOLO, Auteur ; Raffaella FAGGIOLI, Auteur ; Angelo BERTANI, Auteur ; Orsola GAMBINI, Auteur ; Benedetta DEMARTINI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.138-147 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract The relationship between Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), considering the dimensions of narcissistic grandiosity and vulnerability, represents an important differential diagnosis and potential ground of comorbidity, since both conditions show high grades of pervasiveness, a life-long course, ego-syntonic traits, and difficulties in building up and sustaining interpersonal relationships Although the co-diagnosis rates, according to the categorical criteria in use, are limited (0%?6.4%), it is common to encounter diagnostic doubts in clinical practice. 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.
