Explaining metaphors in high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder children: A brief report / Sergio MELOGNO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)

Children were administered a test that was composed of ‘sensorial metaphors’, which are understood by normally developing preschoolers, that the children had to verbally explain. Two normally developing control groups, which were composed of 5- and 6-year olds, were recruited as well, as the highest age for this test is 6 years. A one-way ANOVA applied to the four scores from the test showed a partial delay in the ASD group with respect to the 6-year-old control group, but not with respect to the 5-year-old control group. The ASD group showed some capabilities in metaphor processing; however, there were also some atypical behaviors that suggest that ASD children process metaphorical stimuli in a particular way.

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.
