The devil is in the details: Advancing our collective understanding of naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions / Stephanie Shire in Autism Research, 17-1 (January 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 17-1 (January 2024) . - p.10-16 Titre : The devil is in the details: Advancing our collective understanding of naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Stephanie Shire, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.10-16 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Given the growing body of randomized trials examining various Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI) approaches, a dialog has emerged exploring the overlap in strategies across NDBIs to create single measures that propose to capture core strategies across the interventions. This commentary will ask readers to consider the current state of the science, the potential value of looking not only for similarities but also for differences across approaches, and present five scientific next steps to advance our collective understanding of the NDBIs including: (a) operationalizing intervention strategies and outcomes, (b) expansion of the effectiveness evidence base and begin testing implementation strategies for individual NDBIs, (c) rigorous testing of core intervention components and the mechanism of each intervention, (d) personalization, and (e) supporting transparency with a priori trial registration.

The use of noninvasive brain stimulation techniques in autism spectrum disorder / Sunday M. FRANCIS ; Sarah H. LISANBY in Autism Research, 17-1 (January 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 17-1 (January 2024) . - p.17-26 Titre : The use of noninvasive brain stimulation techniques in autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sunday M. FRANCIS, Auteur ; Sarah H. LISANBY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.17-26 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques, including repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), have recently emerged as alternative, nonpharmacological interventions for a variety of psychiatric, neurological, and neurodevelopmental conditions. NIBS is beginning to be applied in both research and clinical settings for the treatment of core and associated symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) including social communication deficits, restricted and repetitive behaviors, irritability, hyperactivity, depression and impairments in executive functioning and sensorimotor integration. Though there is much promise for these targeted device-based interventions, in other disorders (including adult major depressive disorder (MDD) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) where rTMS is FDA cleared), data on the safety and efficacy of these interventions in individuals with ASD is limited especially in younger children when neurodevelopmental interventions typically begin. Most studies are open-label, small scale, and/or focused on a restricted subgroup of individuals with ASD. There is a need for larger, randomized controlled trials that incorporate neuroimaging in order to develop predictive biomarkers of treatment response and optimize treatment parameters. We contend that until such studies are conducted, we do not have adequate estimates of the safety and efficacy of NIBS interventions in children across the spectrum. Thus, broad off-label use of these techniques in this population is not supported by currently available evidence. Here we discuss the existing data on the use of NIBS to treat symptoms related to ASD and discuss future directions for the field.

Slower pace in early walking onset is related to communication, motor skills, and adaptive function in autistic toddlers / Emma D. BURDEKIN ; Nicholas J. JACKSON ; Lauren HUGHART ; Jeff ANDERSON ; Stacey C. DUSING ; Amanda GULSRUD ; Connie KASARI in Autism Research, 17-1 (January 2024)

BURDEKIN, Auteur ; Nicholas J. JACKSON, Auteur ; Lauren HUGHART, Auteur ; Jeff ANDERSON, Auteur ; Stacey C. DUSING, Auteur ; Amanda GULSRUD, Auteur ; Connie KASARI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.27-36 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract The onset of walking is a major developmental milestone in early childhood and is critical to the development of language and social communication. Delays in walking have been described in individuals with ASD. Yet, less is known about the quality of early gait development in toddlers with ASD and the relationship to motor skills, social communication, and language. Quantitative measures of locomotion can improve our ability to evaluate subtle and specific motor differences in toddlers with ASD and their relationship to other developmental domains. We used quantitative gait analysis to evaluate locomotion in toddlers with ASD (n?=?51) and compared these data to a reference chronological aged (CA) and mental aged (MA) matched typically developing (TD) cohort (n?=?45). We also examined the relationship of quantitative gait metrics to developmental measures among toddlers with ASD. We found that although toddlers with ASD achieved a typical age range of walking onset, they exhibited a pattern of slower pace compared to the TD cohort when matched by CA and MA. We also found that slower measures of pace were associated with lower developmental scores of communication, motor skills, and adaptive function. Our findings improve characterization of locomotion in toddlers with ASD and the relationship of motor skills to other developmental domains.

Prolonged neural encoding of visual information in autism / Luca CASARTELLI ; Alessandra FEDERICI ; Sara BERTONI ; Lorenzo VIGNALI ; Massimo MOLTENI ; Andrea FACOETTI ; Luca RONCONI in Autism Research, 17-1 (January 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 17-1 (January 2024) . - p.37-54 Titre : Prolonged neural encoding of visual information in autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Luca CASARTELLI, Auteur ; Alessandra FEDERICI, Auteur ; Sara BERTONI, Auteur ; Lorenzo VIGNALI, Auteur ; Massimo MOLTENI, Auteur ; Andrea FACOETTI, Auteur ; Luca RONCONI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.37-54 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with a hyper-focused visual attentional style, impacting higher-order social and affective domains. The understanding of such peculiarity can benefit from the use of multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) of high-resolution electroencephalography (EEG) data, which has proved to be a powerful technique to investigate the hidden neural dynamics orchestrating sensory and cognitive processes. Here, we recorded EEG in typically developing (TD) children and in children with ASD during a visuo-spatial attentional task where attention was exogenously captured by a small (zoom-in) or large (zoom-out) cue in the visual field before the appearance of a target at different eccentricities. MVPA was performed both in the cue-locked period, to reveal potential differences in the modulation of the attentional focus, and in the target-locked period, to reveal potential cascade effects on stimulus processing. Cue-locked MVPA revealed that while in the TD group the pattern of neural activity contained information about the cue mainly before the target appearance, the ASD group showed a temporally sustained and topographically diffuse significant decoding of the cue neural response even after the target onset, suggesting a delayed extinction of cue-related neural activity. Crucially, this delayed extinction positively correlated with behavioral measures of attentional hyperfocusing. Results of target-locked MVPA were coherent with a hyper-focused attentional profile, highlighting an earlier and stronger decoding of target neural responses in small cue trials in the ASD group. The present findings document a spatially and temporally overrepresented encoding of visual information in ASD, which can constitute one of the main reasons behind their peculiar cognitive style.

Social motivation by self- and caregiver-report: Reporter concordance and social correlates among autistic and neurotypical youth / Raphael A. BERNIER ; Sara Jane WEBB in Autism Research, 17-1 (January 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 17-1 (January 2024) . - p.55-65 Titre : Social motivation by self- and caregiver-report: Reporter concordance and social correlates among autistic and neurotypical youth Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Raphael A. BERNIER, Auteur ; Sara Jane WEBB, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.55-65 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Differences in social motivation underlie the core social-communication features of autism according to several theoretical models, with decreased social motivation among autistic youth relative to neurotypical peers. However, research on social motivation often relies on caregiver reports and rarely includes firsthand perspectives of children and adolescents with autism. Furthermore, social motivation is typically assumed to be constant across social settings when it may actually vary by social context. Among a sample of 58 verbally fluent youth (8?13?years old; 22 with autism, 36 neurotypical), we examined correspondence between youth and caregiver reports of social motivation with peers and with adults, as well as diagnostic group differences and associations with social outcomes. Results suggest youth and caregivers provide overlapping but distinct information. Autistic youth had lower levels of social motivation relative to neurotypical youth, and reported relatively consistent motivation toward peers and adults. Youth self- and caregiver-report were correlated for motivation toward adults, but not toward peers. Despite low correspondence between self- and caregiver-reported motivation toward peers, autistic youths' self-report corresponded to caregiver-reported social skills and difficulties whereas caregiver-report of peer motivation did not. For neurotypical youth, self- and caregiver-reported motivation toward adults was correlated, but motivation by both reporters was largely independent of broader social outcomes. Findings highlight the unique value of self-report among autistic children and adolescents, and warrant additional work exploring the development, structure, and correlates of social motivation among autistic and neurotypical youth.

Social anxiety is more likely to influence reputation management decisions than autistic traits / Maddie GROOM ; Ameena TAHIR ; Antonia HAMILTON in Autism Research, 17-1 (January 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 17-1 (January 2024) . - p.78-88 Titre : Social anxiety is more likely to influence reputation management decisions than autistic traits Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Maddie GROOM, Auteur ; Ameena TAHIR, Auteur ; Antonia HAMILTON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.78-88 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract People manage their social reputation by selectively sharing achievements, thereby shaping the way others think about them. Autistic traits and social anxiety may have opposing impacts on reputation management. This study aimed to identify the influence of autistic traits and social anxiety on reputation management behavior, independently and in co-occurrence with one another. Seventy-seven adults with varying levels of autistic and social anxiety traits completed a novel self-disclosure task that required them to complete a computerized game and decide whether to disclose their scores to another participant. This design provided a safe social environment for sharing performance outcomes and allowed us to manipulate performance outcomes for participants and set a perceived ?norm? of high self-disclosure. Results showed that participants were more likely to disclose their high than low scores to the other player. Social anxiety reliably predicted the likelihood of disclosing their scores while high autistic traits predicted the likelihood of disclosure only in combination with high social anxiety. Additionally, establishing the norm of high disclosure facilitated self-disclosure in all the participants. This study shows that social anxiety may influence reputation management via selective self-disclosure more when co-occurring with high autistic traits. People with varying levels of autistic traits may not behave differently to maintain a social reputation.

Neural correlates of face processing among preschoolers with fragile X syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, autism siblings, and typical development / Maggie W. GUY ; Abigail L. HOGAN ; Jane E. ROBERTS in Autism Research, 17-1 (January 2024)

GUY, Auteur ; Abigail L. HOGAN, Auteur ; Jane E. ROBERTS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.89-108 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract The current study examined patterns of event-related potential (ERP) responses during a face processing task in groups of preschoolers uniquely impacted by autism spectrum disorder (ASD), including (1) children with ASD; (2) children with fragile X syndrome (FXS); (3) children with familial risk for ASD, but without a diagnosis (i.e., ASIBs); and (4) a low-risk control (LRC) group. Children with FXS have a high incidence of ASD diagnoses, but there have been no studies of the ERP response to faces in children with FXS and little work focused on children with ASD who have cognitive impairment. The current study examined children's ERP responses to faces and houses in four groups: LRC (N?=?28, age?=?5.2?years), ASIB (N?=?23, age?=?5.5?years), FXS (N?=?19, age?= 5.82?years), and ASD (N?=?23, age?=?5.5?years). The FXS and ASD groups were characterized by the presence of cognitive impairment. Pictures of upright and inverted faces and houses were presented while recording EEG with a 128-channel system. The N170 occurred at about 200?ms post stimulus onset, was largest on the posterior-lateral electrodes, and was larger for faces than houses. The P1 and N170 ERP components were larger for the FXS group than for the other three groups. The N170 ERP amplitude for the ASD and ASIB groups was smaller than both the LRC and FXS groups, and the LRC and FXS groups had the largest N170 responses on the right side. No difference was found in N170 latency between groups. The similarity of the ASD and ASIB responses suggest a common genetic or environmental origin of the reduced response. Although children with FXS have a high incidence of ASD outcomes, they differed from ASD and ASIB children in this study. Specifically, the children with FXS were hyperresponsive to all stimulus types while the ASD and ASIB groups showed attenuated responses for specific stimuli.

Specifically, the children with FXS were hyperresponsive to all stimulus types while the ASD and ASIB groups showed attenuated responses for specific stimuli.

Comprehension of irony in autistic children: The role of theory of mind and executive function / Ziyun NIE ; Jiatong SHAN in Autism Research, 17-1 (January 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 17-1 (January 2024) . - p.109-124 Titre : Comprehension of irony in autistic children: The role of theory of mind and executive function Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ziyun NIE, Auteur ; Jiatong SHAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.109-124 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Although previous studies have examined irony comprehension in autistic children and potential impact factors, the relationship between theory of mind (ToM), executive function (EF), symptoms of autism, and comprehension of irony in this population remains largely unknown. This study explored irony comprehension in autistic children and examined the roles of ToM and EF in linking autism symptoms to deficits in irony comprehension. Twenty autistic children were compared with 25 typically developing (TD) children in an irony story picture task, ToM task, and EF task. The results showed that autistic children had impaired comprehension of irony compared with TD children, and performance on ironic stories showed a significant moderate discriminatory effect in predicting autistic children. A ToM deficit has also been proposed for autistic children. Comprehension of irony was significantly correlated with second-order ToM (2nd ToM) but was not significantly correlated with any components of EF. Moreover, 2nd ToM can predict the level of irony comprehension and mediate the relationship between symptoms of autism and irony comprehension. Taken together, these findings suggest that irony comprehension may offer a potential cognitive marker for quantifying syndrome manifestations in autistic children, and 2nd ToM may provide insight into the theoretical mechanism underlying the deficit in irony comprehension in this population.

The effect of recasting by mothers with different conversational styles on the communication behavior of autistic children: Lag sequential analysis / Yonghan PENG ; Yiting LU ; Yumin ZHANG in Autism Research, 17-1 (January 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 17-1 (January 2024) . - p.125-137 Titre : The effect of recasting by mothers with different conversational styles on the communication behavior of autistic children: Lag sequential analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yonghan PENG, Auteur ; Yiting LU, Auteur ; Yumin ZHANG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.125-137 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Recasting is the adult rephrasing of a child's immediately preceding utterance. It has been shown to have outstanding effects on promoting language development in autistic children. This study used lag sequential analysis to explore the impact of mothers' conversational styles on the communicative behavior of autistic children when using recasting. This study recruited 30 Chinese autistic children (aged 3?6?years) and their mothers. The utterances of the children and their mothers during 30-min interactions were transcribed, coded, and analyzed. The mothers' conversational styles were determined by the percentages of child-dominant, mother-dominant, and equality styles. The results indicated that mothers' conversational styles were predominantly child-dominant, differing from the expected mother-dominant style that is typical in Eastern cultures and traditions. However, some mothers still demonstrated a significant proportion of mother-dominant style in their conversation, while some exhibited a considerable amount of equality style. Moreover, mothers with a mainly child-dominant style and minimal use of mother-dominant and equality styles used recasting after the child's response, triggering the child to initiate new topics. Mothers with a child-dominant style combined with prominent mother-dominant features implemented untargeted self-recasting, the children did not respond significantly. Mothers with a child-dominant style combined with prominent equality features used recasting after the children responded, initiated, or expanded the conversation, which often facilitated the child's expansion of the conversation. These findings provide suggestions for designing parent-mediated early language interventions for autistic children.

Traits of narcissistic vulnerability in adults with autism spectrum disorders without intellectual disabilities / Veronica NISTICÒ ; Bianca DI PAOLO ; Raffaella FAGGIOLI ; Angelo BERTANI ; Orsola GAMBINI ; Benedetta DEMARTINI in Autism Research, 17-1 (January 2024)

Here we investigated the dimensions of narcissistic vulnerability and grandiosity in a sample of 87 adults diagnosed with ASD without intellectual disabilities through the administration of the Pathological Narcissism Inventory-52 Items (PNI-52). The mean scores of our sample were compared with the normative distribution available in the literature, and we found that individuals with ASD scored significantly higher than neurotypical controls at the Total Score and at the Vulnerable Narcissism subscale, but not at the Grandiose Narcissism subscales. Demographic features did not influence these results. Vulnerable narcissism was significantly associated with the ?Ritvo Autism and Asperger Diagnostic Scale - Revised? subscale Social Relatedness. These findings could potentially be indicative of a greater comorbidity rate between the two disorders with respect to the one reported to date, possibly because DSM-5 criteria are mainly focused on the grandiose dimension. Potential explanatory links between ASD phenomenology and vulnerable narcissism, such as the personality dimension of neuroticism, are discussed, together with the possible role of narcissistic vulnerability in mediating internalizing symptoms (e.g., anxiety, depression) in individuals with ASD.

The objectives of this analysis were to examine risk factors and clinical correlates of sensory dysfunction in preschool children with and without ASD. Children aged 2?5?years were enrolled in a multi-site case?control study. Data were collected in eight areas across the United States in three phases. Caregivers completed an interview with questions on assisted delivery, maternal alcohol use, maternal anxiety during pregnancy, pregnancy weight gain, neonatal jaundice, preterm birth, and child sensory diagnosis given by a healthcare provider. Caregivers also completed an interview and questionnaires on sensory symptoms and clinical correlates of sensory dysfunction in their child. There were 2059 children classified as ASD, 3139 as other developmental delay or disability (DD), and 3249 as population comparison (POP). Caregivers reported significantly more sensory diagnoses and sensory symptoms in children classified as ASD than DD or POP (23.7%, 8.6%, and 0.8%, respectively, for a sensory diagnosis and up to 78.7% [ASD] vs. 49.6% [DD] for sensory symptoms). Maternal anxiety during pregnancy and neonatal jaundice were significantly associated with a sensory diagnosis and certain sensory symptoms in children with ASD and DD. Children's anxiety, attention deficits/hyperactivity, and sleep problems were significantly albeit subtly correlated with both a sensory diagnosis and sensory symptoms in children with ASD and DD. These findings support sensory dysfunction as a distinguishing symptom of ASD in preschool children and identify risk factors and clinical correlates to inform screening and treatment efforts in those with atypical development.

This study aimed to examine this relationship and the modification of pre-conceptional and prenatal folic acid supplements. Six thousand and five toddlers aged 16 to 30?months from seven cities of six provinces in China were eligible for participation. Information on unintended pregnancy and folic acid supplements was obtained via questionnaires from caregivers of toddlers. The diagnosis of ASD was based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) and the Chinese version of the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). Of the 6005 toddlers in the study (3337 boys and 2668 girls), 71 (1.18%) received the diagnosis of ASD. Generalized linear models with a logit link function showed unintended pregnancy was positively associated with ASD (odds ratios [OR]?=?1.69, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05?2.79). Stratified estimates indicated that the association remained stable among toddlers of mothers without pre-conceptional and prenatal folic acid supplements (OR?=?2.75, 95% CI, 1.04?7.27; n?=?1243, 20.70%). Unintended pregnancy was associated with higher odds of ASD in 16?30?months of toddlers, and the association was consistent among toddlers of mothers without prenatal folic acid supplements. Our findings emphasize the need to raise awareness of the risk of unintended pregnancy and the benefits of folic acid supplements among Chinese women.

Treatment mechanism of the WHO caregiver skills training intervention for autism delivered in community settings / Katharine SUMA ; Lauren B. ADAMSON ; Helen MCCONACHIE ; Chiara SERVILI ; Erica SALOMONE in Autism Research, 17-1 (January 2024)

Participants were 86 caregivers (77% mothers) of children with ASD (78% male, mean age: 44.8?months) randomized to CST (n?=?43) or treatment as usual (n?=?43). The primary outcomes, measured at baseline (t1), immediately post-intervention (t2), and 3?months post-intervention (t3), were derived from the coding of caregiver-child free play interactions with the Brief Observation of Social-Communication Change (BOSCC) and the Joint Engagement Rating Inventory scale (JERI). At t3 positive treatment main effects had been observed for caregiver skills supportive of the interaction and for flow of the interaction (JERI), albeit only non-significant changes in the expected direction for child outcomes: autism phenotypic behaviors (BOSCC), joint engagement and availability to interact (JERI). This study tested the theory of change of CST, hypothesizing that the intervention would lead to an improvement on all child and dyad outcomes through an increase in the caregiver skills supportive of the interaction. Serial mediation analyses revealed that the effect of the intervention was significantly influenced by change in caregiver skills. Participation in the intervention led to notable increases in caregiver skills at t2 and t3, which subsequently contributed to improvements at t3 in flow of the interaction, autism phenotypic behavior, joint engagement, and availability to interact. We confirmed our a priori hypothesis showing that change in caregiver skills significantly mediated the effect of treatment on the dyad primary outcome, as well as on the other child outcomes that had shown non-significant changes in the expected direction. Implications for intervention design and policy making in the context of public health services are discussed.
