However insight into illness has not been empirically investigated in ASP and little research has examined how individuals with ASP view their deficits. This is the first study to assess insight and the relationship between insight and externalizing bias (EB) in ASP. Participants with ASP (n = 21) and healthy controls (n = 24) were recruited. Attributional style was assessed with the internal, personal, and situational attribution questionnaire. Insight was assessed with both a clinician-administered and a self-administered measure. Results revealed that EB was negatively correlated with insight as assessed with the clinician-administered but not the self-administered measure of insight.

Neural mechanisms of behavioral change in young adults with high?functioning autism receiving virtual reality social cognition training: A pilot study / Y. J. Daniel YANG in Autism Research, 11-5 (May 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 11-5 (May 2018) . - p.713-725 Titre : Neural mechanisms of behavioral change in young adults with high?functioning autism receiving virtual reality social cognition training: A pilot study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Y. J. Daniel YANG, Auteur ; Tandra T. ALLEN, Auteur ; Sebiha M. ABDULLAHI, Auteur ; Kevin A. PELPHREY, Auteur ; Fred R. VOLKMAR, Auteur ; Sandra B. CHAPMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.713-725 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : neuroplasticity  adults with autism  emotion recognition  theory of mind  clinical trials  computerized treatment  virtual reality Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Measuring treatment efficacy in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) relies primarily on behaviors, with limited evidence as to the neural mechanisms underlying these behavioral gains. This pilot study addresses this void by investigating neural and behavioral changes in a Phase I trial in young adults with high?functioning ASD who received an evidence?based behavioral intervention, Virtual Reality?Social Cognition Training over 5 weeks for a total of 10 hr. The participants were tested pre? and post?training with a validated biological/social versus scrambled/nonsocial motion neuroimaging task, previously shown to activate regions within the social brain networks. Three significant brain?behavior changes were identified. First, the right posterior superior temporal sulcus, a hub for socio?cognitive processing, showed increased brain activation to social versus nonsocial stimuli in individuals with greater gains on a theory?of?mind measure. Second, the left inferior frontal gyrus, a region for socio?emotional processing, tracked individual gains in emotion recognition with decreased activation to social versus nonsocial stimuli. Finally, the left superior parietal lobule, a region for visual attention, showed significantly decreased activation to nonsocial versus social stimuli across all participants, where heightened attention to nonsocial contingencies has been considered a disabling aspect of ASD. This study provides, albeit preliminary, some of the first evidence of the harnessable neuroplasticity in adults with ASD through an age?appropriate intervention in brain regions tightly linked to social abilities. This pilot trial motivates future efforts to develop and test social interventions to improve behaviors and supporting brain networks in adults with ASD. Autism Res 2018, 11: 713?725. ? 2018 The Authors Autism Research published by International Society for Autism Research and Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Lay Summary This study addresses how the behavioral changes after treatment for ASD reflect underlying brain changes. Before and after receiving VR?SCT, young adults with high?functioning ASD passively viewed biological motion stimuli in a MRI scanner, tapping changes in the social brain network. The results reveal neuroplasticity in this age population, extending the window of opportunity for interventions to impact social competency in adults with ASD.

Virtual Reality Social Cognition Training for Young Adults with High-Functioning Autism / Michelle R. KANDALAFT in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 43-1 (January 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 43-1 (January 2013) . - p.34-44 Titre : Virtual Reality Social Cognition Training for Young Adults with High-Functioning Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Michelle R.

CHAPMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.34-44 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Virtual reality  Autism  Asperger  Intervention  Treatment  Adult Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Few evidence-based social interventions exist for young adults with high-functioning autism, many of whom encounter significant challenges during the transition into adulthood. The current study investigated the feasibility of an engaging Virtual Reality Social Cognition Training intervention focused on enhancing social skills, social cognition, and social functioning. Eight young adults diagnosed with high-functioning autism completed 10 sessions across 5 weeks. Significant increases on social cognitive measures of theory of mind and emotion recognition, as well as in real life social and occupational functioning were found post-training. These findings suggest that the virtual reality platform is a promising tool for improving social skills, cognition, and functioning in autism.
