Anxiety Sensitivity Domains are Differently Affected by Social and Non-social Autistic Traits / Chiara BAIANO in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-8 (August 2022)

Non-clinical individuals with high autistic traits may develop anxiety disorders and depressive symptoms. Here, we investigated the relationships of autistic traits with AS dimensions and depression, considering sex. We referred to the two-factor model of the autism spectrum quotient to distinguish social and non-social autistic traits and assessed 345 university students on AS and depression scales. Results showed that only social autistic traits predicted general AS and anxiety-related concerns regarding social and cognitive domains. The present results emphasize the need of assessing multiple domains of anxiety in individuals on the autistic spectrum, differentiating social and non-social traits.

Body Constraints on Motor Simulation in Autism Spectrum Disorders / Massimiliano CONSON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-3 (March 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 46-3 (March 2016) . - p.1051-1060 Titre : Body Constraints on Motor Simulation in Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Massimiliano CONSON, Auteur ; Antonia HAMILTON, Auteur ; Francesco BELLIS, Auteur ; Domenico ERRICO, Auteur ; Ilaria IMPROTA, Auteur ; Elisabetta MAZZARELLA, Auteur ; Luigi TROJANO, Auteur ; Alessandro FROLLI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1051-1060 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD  Motor simulation  Motor imagery  Proprioception  Mental transformation  Development Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Developmental data suggested that mental simulation skills become progressively dissociated from overt motor activity across development. Thus, efficient simulation is rather independent from current sensorimotor information. Here, we tested the impact of bodily (sensorimotor) information on simulation skills of adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Typically-developing (TD) and ASD participants judged laterality of hand images while keeping one arm flexed on chest or while holding both arms extended. Both groups were able to mentally simulate actions, but this ability was constrained by body posture more in ASD than in TD adolescents. The strong impact of actual body information on motor simulation implies that simulative skills are not fully effective in ASD individuals.

Dissociation between executed and imagined bimanual movements in autism spectrum conditions / Alessandro PIEDIMONTE in Autism Research, 11-2 (February 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 11-2 (February 2018) . - p.376-384 Titre : Dissociation between executed and imagined bimanual movements in autism spectrum conditions Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Alessandro PIEDIMONTE, Auteur ; Massimiliano CONSON, Auteur ; Alessandro FROLLI, Auteur ; Stefania BARI, Auteur ; Francesco Della GATTA, Auteur ; Marco RABUFFETTI, Auteur ; Roberto KELLER, Auteur ; Anna BERTI, Auteur ; Francesca GARBARINI, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : p.376-384 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum conditions (ASC) are characterized by social?communicative deficits and repetitive stereotyped behaviors. Altered motor coordination is also observed and a dysfunction of motor imagery has been recently reported on implicit tasks. However, no information on explicit motor imagery abilities is available in ASC. Here, we employed a spatial bimanual task to concurrently assess motor coordination and explicit motor imagery in autism. A secondary objective of the study was to evaluate these abilities across two populations of ASC, namely adolescents and adults with ASC. To this aim, we took advantage of the circles?lines task in which where participants were asked to continuously draw: right hand lines (unimanual condition); right hand lines and left hand circles (bimanual condition); right hand lines while imagining to draw left hand circles (imagery condition). For each participant, an Ovalization Index (OI) was calculated as a deviation of the right hand drawing trajectory from an absolute vertical axis. Results showed a significant and similar coupling effect in the bimanual condition (i.e., a significant increase of the OI values with respect to the unimanual condition) in both controls and ASC participants. On the contrary, in the imagery condition, a significant coupling effect was found only in controls. Furthermore, adult controls showed a significantly higher imagery coupling effect in comparison to all the other groups. These results demonstrate that atypical motor imagery processes in ASC are not limited to implicit tasks and suggest that development of neural structures involved in motor imagery are immature in ASC. Autism Res 2018, 11: 376–384. © 2017 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Lay Summary Autism spectrum conditions (ASC) are characterized by social?communicative and motor coordination difficulties but in many cases also by an impaired capability to imagine movements. In this study we found that while two handed coordination in ASC can be developed as well as in typically developed persons, the development of motor imagery could still be immature in ASC, leading to difficulties in imagining, understanding as well as programming and coordinating complex movements.

Figure Disembedding: The Gottschaldt's Hidden Figure Test in Children with Typical Development and Autism / Massimiliano CONSON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-9 (September 2022)

Study 1 demonstrated in a large sample of typically developing children that GHFT accuracy and time scores differed across age groups, without sex and socioeconomic differences. Thus, we provided normative data only taking into account children's age. In Study 2, GHFT normative values were used to assess children with autism, who were also compared with a closely age-matched group of typical controls. Children with autism achieved time scores at or above the 50th centile and significantly differed from the controls for time score. The GHFT seems a valuable tool for defining the cognitive profile of children with autism.
