An Evaluation of Early Development in Children with Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorders from Home Movies: Preliminary Findings / Paola BERNABEI in Autism, 2-3 (September 1998)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 2-3 (September 1998) . - p.243-258 Titre : An Evaluation of Early Development in Children with Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorders from Home Movies: Preliminary Findings Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Paola BERNABEI, Auteur ; Luigia CAMAIGNI, Auteur ; Gabriel LEVI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.243-258 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Family videos of 10 children later diagnosed as having autism or pervasive developmental disorders were analysed using a newly devised instrument. The checklist comprises 3 0 individual items and 20 functional categories. It evaluates behaviours in three areas: social interaction, communication and language, functional and symbolic play. The age range covered by home movies was divided into four periods (0-6, 6-12, 12-18 and 18-24 months) and analysed accordingly.The checklist data allow for the derivation of a general developmental profile as well as individual profiles. The most common profile was one in which children made progress from the first to the second or third age period, whereas from the second or third to the fourth period they showed a loss of previously mastered behaviours. The loss was statistically significant in socio-interactive behaviours, less evident in communication/language, and moderate in the area of action schemes and play. Mutual attention (dyadic eye contact), attachment behaviours, emotional reactions and vocalizations were present in almost all the children studied. On the other hand, communicative gestures (pointing, showing, ritualized requests), pretend play and conventional social games were rarely observed. The implications of these results for early diagnosis as well as for theories of early development in autism and severe developmental disorders are briefly discussed.

An Investigation of Sleep Characteristics, EEG Abnormalities and Epilepsy in Developmentally Regressed and Non-regressed Children with Autism / Flavia GIANNOTTI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 38-10 (November 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 38-10 (November 2008) . - p.1888-1897 Titre : An Investigation of Sleep Characteristics, EEG Abnormalities and Epilepsy in Developmentally Regressed and Non-regressed Children with Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Flavia GIANNOTTI, Auteur ; Paola BERNABEI, Auteur ; Antonella CERQUIGLINI, Auteur ; Flavia CORTESI, Auteur ; Daniela MIRAGLIA, Auteur ; Cristina VAGNONI, Auteur ; Teresa SEBASTIANI, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.1888-1897 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Sleep Child Autism Developmental-regression Epilepsy EEG-abnormalities Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study investigated sleep of children with autism and developmental regression and the possible relationship with epilepsy and epileptiform abnormalities. Participants were 104 children with autism (70 non-regressed, 34 regressed) and 162 typically developing children (TD). Results suggested that the regressed group had higher incidence of circadian rhythm disorders than non-regressed children. The regressed group showed higher Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire Bedtime Resistance, Sleep Onset Delay, Sleep Duration and Night-Wakings scores. Epilepsy and frequent epileptiform EEG abnormalities were more frequent in regressed children. Past sleep disorders and a history of developmental regression were significantly associated with sleep disorders. This study is an initial step in better understanding sleep problems in regressed children with autism, further studies are necessary to better investigate these aspects.

Developmental Profile and Regression in a Child with Autism: A Single Case Study / Paola BERNABEI in Autism, 5-3 (September 2001)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 5-3 (September 2001) . - p.287-297 Titre : Developmental Profile and Regression in a Child with Autism: A Single Case Study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Paola BERNABEI, Auteur ; Luigia CAMAIONI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.287-297 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The developmental profile of a child with autism during the first 3 years of life is presented. Clinical material obtained from different sources is discussed: home videos from birth to 3 years, and cognitive and communicative evaluations at 24, 34 and 38 months. The videos show how the child appeared to make progress up to 12 months, but from 12 to 18 months some abilities that had been previously acquired were lost, and a decrease in social interaction, communication and language was observed. From 18 to 38 months communicative and linguistic abilities remained unchanged, but social interactive behaviours continued to decrease. The particular profile identified is discussed as one of the possible pathways through which autism may develop.

Regression Versus No Regression in the Autistic Disorder: Developmental Trajectories / Paola BERNABEI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 37-3 (March 2007)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 37-3 (March 2007) . - p.580-588 Titre : Regression Versus No Regression in the Autistic Disorder: Developmental Trajectories Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Paola BERNABEI, Auteur ; Antonella CERQUIGLINI, Auteur ; Flavia CORTESI, Auteur ; Caterina D’ARDIA, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.580-588 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Speech-loss Regression Developmental-marker Longitudinal-study Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Developmental regression is a complex phenomenon which occurs in 20–49% of the autistic population. Aim of the study was to assess possible differences in the development of regressed and non-regressed autistic preschoolers. We longitudinally studied 40 autistic children (18 regressed, 22 non-regressed) aged 2–6 years. The following developmental areas were considered fundamental in the first years of life, and were assessed at ages 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6: receptive and expressive language, communicative and request modalities, play activities, and mental age. Children who regressed showed lower mean performances than those who did not regress and, in the time intervals considered, non-regressed children improved their ratings in the above mentioned variables significantly more than regressed children.

Vineland Adaptive Behavior Profiles in Children with Autism and Moderate to Severe Developmental Delay / Gemma FENTON in Autism, 7-3 (September 2003)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 7-3 (September 2003) . - p.269-287 Titre : Vineland Adaptive Behavior Profiles in Children with Autism and Moderate to Severe Developmental Delay Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Gemma FENTON, Auteur ; Caterina D’ARDIA, Auteur ; Donatella VALENTE, Auteur ; Ilaria DEL VECCHIO, Auteur ; Anna FABRIZI, Auteur ; Paola BERNABEI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.269-287 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The purpose of this study was to examine adaptive behaviour profiles in children with autism and moderate to severe developmental delay. Previous research has found that children with autism present a characteristic pattern of adaptive behaviour, as measured by the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS) (deficit in the domain of socialization, relative deficit in the domain of communication and relative strength in the domain of daily living). In this study VABS were administered (as part of a comprehensive evaluation of abilities) to a sample of 50 children with moderate to severe developmental delay (23 children with autism and 27 chronological and developmental age matched non-autistic children). Contrary to initial predictions, the sample presented fairly homogeneous adaptive behaviour profiles. Results are discussed with respect to the effectiveness of adaptive behaviour profiles in the detection of autism and the importance of employing limited chronological and developmental age ranges in the study of autism in infancy.
