DE MARCHENA, Auteur ; Jillian M. SCHUH, Auteur ; Elizabeth KELLEY, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.681-691 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Language acquisition  Development  Review Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This paper reviews the complex literature on language acquisition in the autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Because of the high degree of interest in ASD in the past decade, the field has been changing rapidly, with progress in both basic science and applied clinical areas. In addition, psycholinguistically-trained researchers have increasingly begun to test theories of language acquisition in studies of ASD, because it is characterized by meaningful differences in ability across a wide range of language, social, and cognitive domains. As such, ASD has served as a “natural laboratory” in which to explore a variety of theories of language acquisition. We provide an overview of the current state of knowledge of language acquisition in autism spectrum disorders, also noting gaps in our current knowledge. We also review implications of this work for theories of typical language acquisition, and discuss some promising future directions. While the pragmatic deficits that characterize autism spectrum disorders are widely acknowledged, both clinicians and researchers should consider the phonological and morphosyntactic differences that likely play an important role in language comprehension and production for affected children.

A systematic search identified eight studies, which were summarized in terms of (a) participants, (b) assessment targets, (c) assessment protocols, (d) main findings, and (e) evidence of communication. The eight studies included 41 females with Rett syndrome, ranging from 2.7 (years.months) to 36 years of age. All studies used direct behavioral observations to assess participants’ behavior. Half the studies also used standardized assessments and interviews. Evidence of communication behavior was found for at least some participants in each study, but the validity of this evidence is unknown. Still, the observation-based approaches described in these studies may enable clinicians to identify a range of potential communicative forms and functions, which could be useful for intervention planning.

A review of behavioural and electrophysiological studies on auditory processing and speech perception in autism spectrum disorders / Birgitt HAESEN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-2 (April-June 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 5-2 (April-June 2011) . - p.701-714 Titre : A review of behavioural and electrophysiological studies on auditory processing and speech perception in autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Birgitt HAESEN, Auteur ; Bart BOETS, Auteur ; Johan WAGEMANS, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.701-714 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Auditory processing  Speech perception  Local processing  Global processing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This literature review aims to interpret behavioural and electrophysiological studies addressing auditory processing in children and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Data have been organised according to the applied methodology (behavioural versus electrophysiological studies) and according to stimulus complexity (pure versus complex tones versus speech sounds). In line with the weak central coherence (WCC) theory of autism we aimed to investigate whether individuals with ASD show a more locally and less globally oriented processing style in the auditory modality. To avoid the possible confound of stimulus complexity, this influence was taken into account as an additional hypothesis. The review reveals that the identification and discrimination of isolated acoustic features (in particular pitch processing) is generally intact or enhanced in individuals with ASD, for pure as well as for complex tones and speech sounds. It thus appears that the local processing advantage is not influenced by stimulus complexity. Individuals with ASD are also less susceptible to global interference of speech-like material. A deficit in global auditory processing, however, is less universally confirmed. We propose that the observed pattern of auditory enhancements and deficits in ASD may be related to an atypical pattern of right hemisphere dominance. As the right and left hemisphere are relatively more specialized in spectral versus temporal auditory processing, respectively, right hemisphere dominance in ASD could provoke enhanced pitch and vowel processing, whereas left hemisphere deficiencies might explain speech perception problems and temporal processing deficits.

A multiple baseline across students was used to assess the effects of Social Stories on classroom behavior and an alternating treatments design was used to compare two conditions. In one condition (immediate) data on student behavior was collected immediately following exposure to the Social Stories and in the second condition (delayed) data was collected after a delay of several hours following exposure to Social Stories. Results indicate some improvement in classroom behavior following Social Stories for all three students. No differences between the immediate and delayed conditions were noted in student behavior. Improvements in classroom behavior considered in tandem with treatment fidelity, social validity, and peer comparison data suggest Social Stories may not be a particularly powerful intervention in terms of the magnitude of behavior change, but that they may offer a simple, acceptable, classroom friendly intervention.

Use of equipment and respite services and caregiver health among Australian families living with Rett syndrome / Anna URBANOWICZ in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-2 (April-June 2011)

Data was sourced from questionnaires completed by families (n = 170) contributing to the Australian Rett Syndrome Database in 2004 and 2006. Regression analysis was used to assess relationships between child factors (age, mobility, clinical severity and behaviour), family factors (accessibility and socio-economic factors) and the use of equipment and respite services in 2004, and relationships between resource use in 2004 and health of female caregivers as measured by the SF-12 in 2006. In 2004, the majority (88.3%) of families used at least one piece of equipment with more equipment use associated with greater mobility restrictions. Home respite services were used by 54.9% of families and overnight respite services by 47.6% of families. Use of more home respite services was associated with severely restricted levels of mobility and mothers having a vocational or university qualification. Use of more overnight respite services was associated with increasing age of the girl/woman with Rett syndrome and mothers being employed while use of less overnight respite services was associated with increasingly difficult behaviours in the girl/woman. In 2006, female caregivers had a mean mental health score of 41.1 (95% CI 38.9–43.3) and no relationships with previous resource use were identified. The mean physical health score of female caregivers was 48.7 (95% CI 46.8–50.5) and lower scores were associated with the use of equipment and overnight respite services. Equipment was a widely used resource whereas respite services, particularly overnight services, were used less widely. Further investigation of the reasons for this and alternative support strategies is indicated.

Physical activity and self-determined motivation of adolescents with and without autism spectrum disorders in inclusive physical education / Chien-Yu PAN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-2 (April-June 2011)

Independent t-tests revealed significant PA and motivational process differences between adolescents with and without ASD. External regulation was positively correlated with the percentage of time that adolescents with ASD spent in moderate PA (r25 = 0.58, p < .01) and moderate-to-vigorous PA (r25 = 0.50, p < .05), and this extrinsic motive was associated with their needs of being attached or related in the class (r25 = 0.53, p < .01). No significant associations of PA in PE on the motivational sequences of adolescents without ASD were observed. It is concluded that adolescents with ASD had less PA levels in PE and lower motives toward PE than adolescents without ASD, and external regulation was important in facilitating PA participation in adolescents with ASD.

This suggests that the low-level aspects of gaze cueing and are intact in persons with autism, while the higher level social skills like joint attention and attribution of desire and intention are impaired. The present study investigates whether these low-level aspects of gaze cueing are indeed intact. Children with high functioning ASD (n = 22) and matched controls (n = 22) performed two choice reaction time tasks in which eye- or arrow direction correctly (congruent) or incorrectly (incongruent) cues target location. In children with normal development right side cueing, but not left side cueing, induced a congruence effect for eyes, while this cueing effect was evident for right and left side cueing for arrow cues. In children with ASD left side cueing, but not right side cueing, induced a congruence effect for eyes while right sight cueing, but not left side cueing, provoked a congruence effect for arrow cues. These findings indicate that children with ASD have functional, but atypical, low-level visual orienting to eye gaze and arrow cues.

Impact of IQ, age, SES, gender, and race on autistic symptoms / Susan DICKERSON MAYES in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-2 (April-June 2011)

The children were 1–17 years of age with IQs from 9 to 146. Results showed that autism severity (total score on the Checklist for Autism Spectrum Disorder) and the 30 CASD item scores were not related to gender or race. However, the two CASD items reflecting mood and behavior problems were significantly more common in the lower than higher SES group. Our findings revealed significant, though modest, IQ and age effects. Autism severity increased with decreasing IQ and age, as did the frequency of 14 of the 30 CASD symptoms. The direction of IQ and age effects was the opposite for five symptoms and was nonsignificant for 11. Though IQ was associated with autistic symptoms, the majority of children with both high functioning and low functioning autism had most CASD symptoms and their symptom profiles were overwhelmingly similar. This supports the DSM-V Work Group's position that autism is a single spectrum disorder.

The children were 1–17 years of age with IQs from 9 to 146. Results showed that autism severity (total score on the Checklist for Autism Spectrum Disorder) and the 30 CASD item scores were not related to gender or race. However, the two CASD items reflecting mood and behavior problems were significantly more common in the lower than higher SES group. Our findings revealed significant, though modest, IQ and age effects. Autism severity increased with decreasing IQ and age, as did the frequency of 14 of the 30 CASD symptoms. The direction of IQ and age effects was the opposite for five symptoms and was nonsignificant for 11. Though IQ was associated with autistic symptoms, the majority of children with both high functioning and low functioning autism had most CASD symptoms and their symptom profiles were overwhelmingly similar. This supports the DSM-V Work Group's position that autism is a single spectrum disorder.

Within the ASD group, sleep hygiene and sleep quality were related to both routines and externalizing behaviors. In the combined sample, a significant interaction was found between diagnostic status and general routines in predicting externalizing behaviors. Specifically, lower levels of routines were related to higher levels of externalizing behaviors for both groups, whereas higher levels of routines were related to lower levels of externalizing behaviors for the non-ASD group. Further research among these constructs may focus on children with an ASD who experience less consistent routines or significant sleep disturbance.

However, there are limited tools available to assess social skills in children with ASD. Furthermore, there are even fewer designed to assess response to intervention. The focus of the current study was to examine the convergent, criterion, and incremental validity of a new measure designed to assess the development of social interaction skills in individuals with ASD; namely, the Behavioral Assessment of Social Interactions in Young Children (BASYC; Gillis, Callahan, & Romanczyk, 2010). A total of 44 individuals with ASD participated in this study (mean age was 7 years 11 months; range was 2–12 years old). The BASYC demonstrated convergent validity with the Social Approach subscale of the Pervasive Developmental Disorders Behavior Inventory (PDDBI; Cohen & Sudhalter, 2005) and criterion-related validity with the Socialization domain of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-II (VABS-II; Sparrow, Cicchetti, & Balla, 2005). One of the two BASYC subscales demonstrated incremental validity over the PDDBI in predicting variability in the VABS-II Socialization domain. The results of this research provide further support for the clinical utility of the BASYC as a measure of social interaction skills in individuals with ASD.

The study explores processing of neutral and emotional human stimuli (by auditory, visual and multimodal channels) in children with PDD-NOS (n = 10) compared to typically developing children (n = 35). The neutral human stimuli consisted of faces and common first names. The emotional human stimuli consisted of happy, sad, angry, and neutral faces and vocalizations. The results confirmed previous findings and led to others. The PDD-NOS group (a) accurately processed neutral human stimuli; (b) had difficulty processing emotional stimuli in general and more easily identified happy compared to angry or neutral faces and vocalizations; (c) had a strong discrepancy between emotional and neutral human stimuli processing; (d) used the multimodal channel to compensate for unimodal deficits, especially for angry faces; and (e) was strongly heterogeneous.

This study assessed three facets of executive ability (fluency, perseveration and monitoring) in savant artists with ASD, compared to non-talented adults with ASD or mild/moderate learning difficulties (MLD). Executive functions were assessed in and out of the savants’ domain of expertise: on design fluency and card sort tasks, respectively. The design fluency task suggested a sparing of executive abilities in the savant artists, relative to the non-talented ASD group; an effect not observed on the card sort task. The idea that islets of ability involve functions that are protected from more general cognitive deficits in ASD is explored.

We also compared a sub-sample (N = 60) with ASD to an age-, gender- and ID-matched control group (N = 90) on ratings of psychopathology and autism-related symptoms. All participants were referrals to specialist mental heath services for people with ID. Clinical diagnoses of psychopathology and ASD were based on ICD-10 criteria. Key informants also completed the Psychopathology Assessment Schedule for Adults with Developmental Disabilities (PAS-ADD) checklist. The analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in rates of co-morbid psychopathology and clinical management between males and females with ASD, although there were no significant differences in level of ID and age. More specifically, personality disorder and schizophrenia were more common among males, where as dementia was more common among females. Regarding clinical management, males were more likely to be prescribed a combination of medication and females were more likely to receive sedation. Overall, the results suggest that male and female patients with ASD have, at least to some extent, different mental health needs.

Psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Social Communication Questionnaire / Susan Shur-Fen GAU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-2 (April-June 2011)

We assessed 736 participants (male, 80.1%) aged 2–18, who were clinically diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) including autistic disorder, Asperger's disorder, or pervasive developmental disorders, not otherwise specified according to the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria. All the parents completed the Chinese versions of the SCQ. Among them, parents of 317 participants were interviewed by using the Chinese version of the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R). The exploratory factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure (social interaction, repetitive behaviors, and communication), which was further validated by the confirmatory factor analyses with an adequate fit (Goodness-of-Fit Index = 0.923; Comparative Fit Index = 0.983; root mean square error of approximation = 0.034). The test–retest reliability (intra-class correlations = 0.77–0.78), internal consistency (α = 0.73–0.91), and concurrent validity (Pearson correlation up to 0.65) were satisfactory. Children with autistic disorder had the highest scores, followed by children with Asperger's disorder who had intermediate scores and then non-ASD participants who had the lowest scores. Our findings suggest that the Chinese SCQ is a reliable and valid instrument for rating autistic symptoms in Chinese-speaking population (ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT00494754).

We assessed 736 participants (male, 80.1%) aged 2–18, who were clinically diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) including autistic disorder, Asperger's disorder, or pervasive developmental disorders, not otherwise specified according to the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria. All the parents completed the Chinese versions of the SCQ. Among them, parents of 317 participants were interviewed by using the Chinese version of the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R). The exploratory factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure (social interaction, repetitive behaviors, and communication), which was further validated by the confirmatory factor analyses with an adequate fit (Goodness-of-Fit Index = 0.923; Comparative Fit Index = 0.983; root mean square error of approximation = 0.034). The test–retest reliability (intra-class correlations = 0.77–0.78), internal consistency (α = 0.73–0.91), and concurrent validity (Pearson correlation up to 0.65) were satisfactory. Children with autistic disorder had the highest scores, followed by children with Asperger's disorder who had intermediate scores and then non-ASD participants who had the lowest scores. Our findings suggest that the Chinese SCQ is a reliable and valid instrument for rating autistic symptoms in Chinese-speaking population (ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT00494754).

Preference surveys, completed by 39 staff members, identified high and low preference familiar stimuli for each participant. Novel stimuli were selected by experimenters and included items that were not reported on a preference survey for that child. Subsequently, two paired-stimulus preference assessments were conducted comparing staff-reported high preference stimuli to (1) staff-reported low preference stimuli and (2) experimenter-selected novel stimuli. Results indicated that 27 of 31 participants (87%) frequently selected stimuli that were reportedly less preferred or novel. The inclusion of a wide array of familiar and novel stimuli may increase the number of preferred stimuli identified for use within behavioral interventions for children with autism.

In the present study, a multiple-baseline-across-participants design was used to assess the effects of graduated guidance, scripts, and script fading to teach four adolescents with autism in a simulated vocational setting to approach an instructor, describe a work-related problem, and request assistance. Although none of the participants emitted these skills during baseline, the introduction of the teaching procedure resulted in all participants learning these skills. Generalization measures indicated that the participants also learned to emit the target skills in the presence of work-related materials not directly associated with training. In addition, pre- and post-treatment measures showed that the participants learned to emit the target skills in a different setting not associated with training.

Motor planning and control in autism. A kinematic analysis of preschool children / I.R.C.C.S. “EUGENIO MEDEA” in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-2 (April-June 2011)

Our aim was to investigate whether motor anomalies in autism may depend more on a planning ability dysfunction or on a motor control deficit. Planning and control processes were separately investigated by examining kinematic recordings divided into primary movement- (planning-based) and corrective submovement- (control-based) phases. Despite longer movement durations, participants with autism were as accurate in their movements as normally developing children were and showed a preserved movement structure. No differences were observed for the initial movement phases for hand velocity, accuracy and inter-trial variability. Our main finding was that of a group difference in proximity of the target, at transition from planning-based to control-based movement guidance. At primary movement conclusion, the normally developing children had already reduced velocity and begun orienting their hands for ball drop. Also, they tended to terminate movements within the same movement unit that had transported the hand into the target box. Compared to this group, participants with autism reached this stage with less preparation: their speed was significantly higher, wrist inclination reduced and they showed further movement units after entering the box over the vast majority of trials. These additional movement units were presumed to represent late control-based spatial adjustments. Hence, our data support the hypothesis that children with autism have a greater need for corrective submovements. We provide evidence that motor anomalies in autism might be determined either by a disruption in planning-control integration, or by a limited planning process capacity, as participants with autism might have been able to plan only the very beginning of the movement, leaving its final phases to further planning on the fly, with important consequences on movement time optimization.

The 72 participants (IQ ≥ 70) were divided into 3 groups after IQ matching depending on their diagnoses: i.e., PDD, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), or other than PDD or AD/HD. Among the items of TCDS and TABS, correlation with PDD diagnosis was confirmed in 3 items. A screening scale consisting of these 3 items (TCDS/TABS-3) had a sensitivity of 0.75 and a specificity of 0.84 at 2 cutoff points. We consider that the TCDS/TABS-3 encompasses and adequately reflects the autism diagnostic criteria and would be a useful auxiliary scale for PDD diagnosis.

While research has documented the existence of these deficits, surprisingly little research exists that evaluates potential treatment strategies for improving EF or WM. One exception is a study that used positive reinforcement to improve performance on a classical WM task, the counting span, resulting in both maintenance and generalization (Baltruschat et al., 2011). The current study is the second in a programmatic line of research on behavioral intervention for improving WM in children with autism. This study extended the use of the same procedure (positive reinforcement) to another task which is said to measure WM, a Complex Span, and included three additional children with autism. Results demonstrated significant improvements in performance for each participant, including maintenance and generalization to untrained stimuli and untrained responses.

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 5-2 (April-June 2011) . - p.901-909 Titre : Measuring use and cost of health sector and related care in a population of girls and young women with Rett syndrome Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Delia HENDRIE, Auteur ; Ami BEBBINGTON, Auteur ; Carol BOWER, Auteur ; Helen LEONARD, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.901-909 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Rett syndrome  Healthcare  Costs  Resources  Population-based Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study measured use and cost of health sector and related services in Rett syndrome and effects of socio-demographic, clinical severity and genetic factors on costs. The study population consisted of individuals with Rett syndrome registered with the Australian Rett Syndrome Database in 2004. Descriptive analysis was used to examine patterns of resource use and costs, and logistic regression to analyse factors associated with higher costs. We found the use of health sector and related resources varied by type of resource. Mean annual cost per case was $21,158 (range $238–$85,776). High cost items included long-term residential care, therapy services out of school and paid home and community care. Factors associated with increasing odds of being above the median cost were clinical severity and the p.R255X mutation. Compared with the youngest cases, cases in the 5–14 year age group and the 15–24 year age group were at lower odds of being above the median cost. Needs relating to health sector and related resources can result in considerable costs for individuals with Rett syndrome. Many households caring for dependents with Rett syndrome are like to be facing undue financial pressures from the additional costs of disability.

Differential amygdala response to lower face in patients with autistic spectrum disorders: An fMRI study / Makoto ISHITOBI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-2 (April-June 2011)

Most of these findings were obtained from studies using tasks related to whole faces. However, individuals with ASD tend to rely more on individual parts of the face for identification than on the overall configuration. Therefore, this neuroimaging evidence might reflect differential visual attention systems in face recognition. It was hypothesized that differential brain function is shown between ASD and control participants with face recognition tasks presenting parts of faces separately. Nine adults with high-functioning ASD and 24 age-matched normal comparison participants were studied using a 3T-MR scanner. We investigated brain activation when processing whole faces and parts of faces displaying positive or negative expressions. The control group showed bilateral amygdalae activation to the whole face, but not to parts of the face. The ASD group showed bilateral amygdalae activation to the lower face (mainly mouth region), but not to the whole face and upper face (mainly eye region). These findings suggest that differential amygdala function for face processing exists in ASD. This aberrant amygdala function might cause abnormalities in gaze processing or recognition of emotional expressions, shown clinically in ASD.

Prevalence studies are of the utmost importance in order to obtain an accurate picture of the true prevalence rate of ASD and because these rates continue to be on the rise. To date, studies examining prevalence rates have utilized community or clinical populations. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to utilize a sample of toddlers at risk for or currently diagnosed with a developmental delay (N = 2027) to determine the prevalence rate in this young population. As anticipated, the prevalence rates of ASD were much higher in this at risk sample of toddlers compared to rates reported in community or clinical samples. In addition, gender differences in prevalence rates emerged. However, the differences between these rates were not as pronounced as in other previously studied populations. These results underscore the necessity to routinely assess toddlers for the presence of symptoms of ASD who are already receiving early intervention services for other developmental delays.

Emotion regulation and development in children with autism and 22q13 Deletion Syndrome: Evidence for group differences / Sarah E. GLASER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-2 (April-June 2011)

The purpose of this study was to examine the phenotypic similarities between the two disorders. ER was measured by the Temperament and Atypical Behavior Scale (TABS) and development was measured by the Developmental Profile – Third Edition (DP-3). It was hypothesized that children with autism would score higher on the Detached domain of the TABS because the domain is associated with autism spectrum disorders. It was also hypothesized that because of similarly well established cognitive and communicative deficits between the two populations, no significant differences in development would be found. Results indicated that the autism group was significantly more impaired on the Detached domain of the TABS and scored higher on every domain of the DP-3 except in social–emotional skills. These findings differentiate the phenotypes of the two disorders and suggest that detached emotional behavior is more salient among children with autism. Early intervention programs that target the improvement of ER and social skills may ensure healthier behavioral outcomes for these individuals.

Most eye tracking studies are, however, made in laboratory settings with either static (photos) or non-interactive dynamic stimuli, such as video clips. Whether or not these results are transferable to a “real world” dialogue situation remains unclear. In order to examine the consistency of visual strategies across conditions, a comparison of two static conditions and an interactive dynamic “real world” condition, in 15 adults with Asperger syndrome and 15 matched controls, was made using an eye tracker. The static stimuli consisted of colour photos of faces, while a dialogue between the participants and the test leader created the interactive dynamic condition. A within-group comparison showed that people with AS, and their matched controls, displayed a high degree of stability in visual strategies when viewing faces, regardless of the facial stimuli being static or real, as in the interactive dynamic condition. The consistency in visual strategies within the participants suggests that results from studies with static facial stimuli provide important information on individual visual strategies that may be generalized to “real world” situations.

This report describes our evaluation of procedures that enable children to cooperate with injections. A changing-criterion design with two replications in the United States and three replications in Turkey was used to assess the performance of five boys and one girl with ASD, ages 8–16. The teaching procedures, conducted in school settings, were relatively errorless. During generalization programming, the participants’ skills transferred to different instructors who played the role of medical practitioner and to different school and community settings. Subsequently, in medical settings, they cooperated with doctors and nurses and successfully received important injections, such as long-overdue diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTaP) immunizations, tetanus boosters, and influenza and hepatitis B immunizations.
