Survey data were collected from parents (n = 388) in the UK, Spain, and Belgium, and includes information about individuals with a range of ages and ability levels. We found a comparable pattern of access and usage across age groups, though higher reading and language ability was linked to use of more devices and interfaces. Reported worries about technology correlated with longer time spent using technology. Autistic children use mainstream technologies for a broad range of recreational uses. The data suggest that technologies developed with therapeutic goals in mind may need to achieve a high standard of design to engage users.

Atypical attention to voice in toddlers and pre-schoolers with autism spectrum disorder is related to unimpaired cognitive abilities. An ERP study / Alessandra PIATTI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 86 (August 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 86 (August 2021) . - 101805 Titre : Atypical attention to voice in toddlers and pre-schoolers with autism spectrum disorder is related to unimpaired cognitive abilities. An ERP study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Alessandra PIATTI, Auteur ; Sara VAN DER PAELT, Auteur ; Petra WARREYN, Auteur ; Herbert ROEYERS, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101805 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Auditory oddball  MMN  P3a  ASD  Developmental delay  Neural adaptation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Sound perception in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is usually at typical levels, even when auditory stimuli carry a social value, as it is the case for speech. Nevertheless, orienting to sounds in a speech context might be atypical in some individuals with ASD, which in ERP studies is reflected by a diminished P3a component. As P3 values and cognitive abilities seem to be inversely related under some circumstances, the current study investigates whether diminished attentional orienting to sounds in speech is equally observable in children with ASD with and without developmental delay (DD). Method Children with typical development (TD, n = 17) or ASD, with or without comorbid DD (ASD/DD, n = 22, and ASD/noDD, n = 12), aged 1.5 through 4 years took part in a passive auditory oddball task while EEG data were recorded. The paradigm consisted in the presentation of two deviant stimuli (one vowel sound and one complex tone) either in a speech or in a non-speech context. Results We found overall more negative MMN voltages in both ASD groups compared to TD. For P3a mean voltages, we found an attenuated response in children ASD/noDD when deviant tones were presented in speech, but not in other conditions. Children with ASD/DD did not differ from TD in P3a mean voltages. Conclusion Atypical speech sound processing might be more accentuated in children with ASD/noDD than in their peers with comorbid DD. This finding is interpreted within the theoretical framework of neural adaptation.

Atypical brain network development of infants at elevated likelihood for autism spectrum disorder during the first year of life / Fen ZHANG in Autism Research, 15-12 (December 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 15-12 (December 2022) . - p.2223-2237 Titre : Atypical brain network development of infants at elevated likelihood for autism spectrum disorder during the first year of life Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Fen ZHANG, Auteur ; Floor MOERMAN, Auteur ; Haijing NIU, Auteur ; Petra WARREYN, Auteur ; Herbert ROEYERS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2223-2237 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Infant  Humans  Autism Spectrum Disorder  Neurodevelopmental Disorders  Brain/diagnostic imaging  Phenotype  autism spectrum disorder  brain network  functional connectivity  functional near-infrared spectroscopy  neurodevelopmental disorder Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by behavioral features that appear early in life. Although studies have shown that atypical brain functional and structural connectivity are associated with these behavioral traits, the occurrence and initial alterations of brain networks have not been fully investigated. The current study aimed to map early brain network efficiency and information transferring in infants at elevated likelihood (EL) compared to infants at typical likelihood (TL) for ASD in the first year of life. This study used a resting-state functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) approach to obtain the length and strength of functional connections in the frontal and temporal areas in 45 5-month-old and 38 10-month-old infants. Modular organization and small-world properties were detected in both EL and TL infants at 5 and 10 months. In 5-month-old EL infants, local and nodal efficiency were significantly greater than age-matched TL infants, indicating overgrown local connections. Furthermore, we used a support vector machine (SVM) model to classify infants with or without EL based on the obtained global properties of the network, achieving an accuracy of 77.6%. These results suggest that infants with EL for ASD exhibit inefficiencies in the organization of brain networks during the first year of life.

Only few studies compare the discriminative power of these instruments in the same sample. In particular comparisons of instruments that use different informants are scarce in young children. The current study compared the discriminant ability of the Checklist for Early Signs of Developmental Disorders (CESDD) filled out by child care workers with that of frequently used parent questionnaires in a sample of 357 children between 5.57 and 48.13 months old who showed signs of ASD or language delay. The discriminant power of the CESDD was as good as that of parent questionnaires. Therefore, inclusion of child care workers in the early detection of ASD seems promising.

Defining Language Profiles in Young Autistic Children Across Verbal, Speaking, and Generative Dimensions / Federica BECCARIA in Autism Research, 19-9 (September 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 19-9 (September 2026) . - p. e70324 Titre : Defining Language Profiles in Young Autistic Children Across Verbal, Speaking, and Generative Dimensions Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Federica BECCARIA, Auteur ; Liesl LEENEN, Auteur ; Marie KOLENBERG, Auteur ; Klaartje VERTONGEN, Auteur ; Ellen DEMURIE, Auteur ; Marielle WEYLAND, Auteur ; Petra WARREYN, Auteur ; Herbert ROEYERS, Auteur ; Ilse NOENS, Auteur ; L.

Research and clinical practice often rely on verbal/non-verbal or speaking/non-speaking labels, but these categories, when used in isolation, obscure distinct linguistic profiles. Spoken language is also frequently used as a proxy for structural language skills, despite evidence that speech may not be generative or productive. A multidimensional perspective is therefore needed to determine whether verbal skills, spoken output, and linguistic generativity reflect dissociable aspects of language in autism, and whether variation across these dimensions can be explained by non-verbal cognition or autism characteristics. Participants were 167 autistic children aged 2?6?years from the Dutch- and French-speaking regions of Belgium. Verbal skills were assessed using standardized tests. Speaking status was quantified as the proportion of linguistic segments in spontaneous productions recorded at home. Generativity was measured using a similarity index derived from semantic embeddings. Associations with non-verbal Intelligence Quotient (IQ) and autism characteristics were examined using age-controlled linear models. Overlap between the three dimensions, Verbal, Speaking, and Generativity, was only partial. Some children with little or no speech showed relatively strong structural language abilities, whereas others produced abundant but non-generative speech and had limited structural skills. Both non-verbal IQ and autism characteristics were related to all three dimensions, with IQ explaining a larger proportion of variance. Overall, one-dimensional labels fail to capture language variability in autism; assessing Verbal, Speaking, and Generativity as complementary dimensions may better identify uneven linguistic profiles in autistic children.
