Titre : Touch and olfaction/taste differentiate children carrying a 16p11.2 deletion from children with ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Joana Maria Almeida OSORIO, Auteur ; Borja RODRIGUEZ-HERREROS, Auteur ; David ROMASCANO, Auteur ; Vincent JUNOD, Auteur ; Aline HABEGGER, Auteur ; Aurélie PAIN, Auteur ; Sonia RICHETIN, Auteur ; Paola YU, Auteur ; Bertrand ISIDOR, Auteur ; Lionel VAN MALDERGEM, Auteur ; Linda PONS, Auteur ; Sabine MANIFICAT, Auteur ; Nadia CHABANE, Auteur ; Marine JEQUIER GYGAX, Auteur ; Anne Manuela MAILLARD, Auteur Article en page(s) : 8p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : 16p11.2 deletion Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) Children Copy number variants (CNV) Olfaction Sensory processing Sensory processing measure (SPM) Touch Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Sensory processing atypicalities are frequent in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). Different domains of sensory processing appear to be differentially altered in these disorders. In this study, we explored the sensory profile of two clinical cohorts, in comparison with a sample of typically developing children. METHODS: Behavioral responses to sensory stimuli were assessed using the Sensory Processing Measure (parent-report questionnaire). We included 121 ASD children, 17 carriers of the 16p11.2 deletion (Del 16p11.2) and 45 typically developing (TD) children. All participants were aged between 2 and 12 years. Additional measures included the Tactile Defensiveness and Discrimination Test-Revised, Wechsler Intelligence Scales and Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2). Statistical analyses included MANCOVA and regression analyses. RESULTS: ASD children score significantly higher on all SPM subscales compared to TD. Del16p11.2 also scored higher than TD on all subscales except for tactile and olfactory/taste processing, in which they score similarly to TD. When assessing sensory modulation patterns (hyper-, hypo-responsiveness and seeking), ASD did not significantly differ from del16p11.2. Both groups had significantly higher scores across all patterns than the TD group. There was no significant association between the SPM Touch subscale and the TDDT-R. LIMITATIONS: Sensory processing was assessed using a parent-report questionnaire. Even though it captures observable behavior, a questionnaire does not assess sensory processing in all its complexity. The sample size of the genetic cohort and the small subset of ASD children with TDDT-R data render some of our results exploratory. Divergence between SPM Touch and TDDT-R raises important questions about the nature of the process that is assessed. CONCLUSIONS: Touch and olfaction/taste seem to be particularly affected in ASD children compared to del16p11.2. These results indicate that parent report measures can provide a useful perspective on behavioral expression. Sensory phenotyping, when combined with neurobiological and psychophysical methods, might have the potential to provide a better understanding of the sensory processing in ASD and in other NDD.

The current study examined overt orienting to caregiver-initiated touch in 12-month-olds at high risk for ASD (HRA) with (HRA+) and without (HRA-) a later diagnosis of ASD compared to low-risk comparison infants. Findings indicate that infants that go on to receive a diagnosis of ASD may more frequently fail to shift their attention in response to caregiver touch and when they do, they may be more likely to orient away from touch. Additionally, failure to respond to touch predicts ADOS severity scores at outcome suggesting that atypical response to touch may be an early indicator of autism severity.

This study examined the presentation of caregiver touch-only and touch + speech input to 12-month-olds at high (HRA) and low risk for ASD. Findings indicated that, although both groups received a greater number of touch + speech bouts compared to touch-only bouts, the duration of overall touch that overlapped with speech was significantly greater in the HRA group. Additionally, HRA infants were less responsive to touch-only bouts compared to touch + speech bouts suggesting that their mothers may use more touch + speech communication to elicit infant responses. Nonetheless, the exact role of touch in multimodal communication directed towards infants at high risk for ASD warrants further exploration.

Titre : Dynamic functional adaptations during touch observation in autism: connectivity strength is linked to attitudes towards social touch and social responsiveness Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Haemy LEE MASSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : 11 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Humans Male Autistic Disorder/physiopathology/psychology/diagnostic imaging Adult Magnetic Resonance Imaging Touch Young Adult Brain/diagnostic imaging/physiopathology Social Behavior Social Interaction Brain Mapping Autism Embodied simulation Functional connectivity Generalized psychophysiological interaction Independent component analysis Social perception Social responsiveness Social touch Vicarious touch provided written informed consent, and the Medical Ethical Committee of KU Leuven approved the original study (S53768 and S59577). Consent for publication: Not applicable. Competing interests: The authors declare no competing interests. Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Autistic adults experience differences in social interactions involving physical contact. Brain imaging studies suggest that these differences may be related to atypical brain responses to social-affective cues, affecting both the experience of receiving touch and observing it in others. However, it remains unclear whether these atypical responses are limited to specific brain regions or represent broader alterations in brain connectivity. The current study investigated how the functional network architecture is modulated during touch observation associated with autism and explored the extent to which changes in this architecture are associated with individual differences in social touch preferences and social responsiveness. METHODS: By integrating generalized psychophysiological interaction (gPPI) analysis with independent component analysis (ICA), the current study analyzed existing fMRI datasets, in which 21 autistic and 21 non-autistic male adults viewed videos of social and nonsocial touch while undergoing MRI scans. RESULTS: A gPPI analysis of regions of interest revealed that autistic adults exhibited increased connectivity between sensory and social brain regions. The strength of some of these connections was positively associated with a higher preference for social touch and greater social responsiveness, suggesting neural compensatory mechanisms that may help autistic adults better understand the meaning of touch. At the level of large-scale brain networks extracted using ICA, atypical connectivity was predominantly observed between the sensorimotor network and other networks involved in social-emotional processing. Increased connectivity was observed in the sensorimotor network during nonsocial touch, suggesting that embodied simulation, the process by which individuals internally simulate touch experience of others in this context, may be more engaged when observing human-object interactions than during human-to-human touch. LIMITATIONS: This study focused on a specific subgroup of 21 autistic male adults with minimal support needs. Future research would benefit from including a more diverse autistic sample. CONCLUSIONS: This study reveals atypical context-dependent modulation of functional brain architecture associated with autism during touch observation. Neural compensatory mechanisms in autistic individuals who enjoy social touch and show higher social responsiveness may function as adaptive social responses. However, these compensations may be limited to specific brain regions, rather than occurring at the level of large-scale brain networks.

Titre : Hyper-responsiveness to touch mediates social dysfunction in adults with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lars-Olov LUNDQVIST, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.13-20 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders Touch Tactile Somatosensory Sensory processing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract This study investigated whether hyper-responsiveness to touch serves as a mediating variable that predicts social dysfunction in adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Data were obtained from all adults with administratively defined intellectual disability in a region in Sweden (n = 915, where 143 had ASD). A multiple mediation modeling analysis revealed a well-fitted model (Satorra–Bentler scaled chi-square = 10.91, df = 7, p = 0.14, CFI = 0.99, RMSEA = 0.025), demonstrating that social dysfunction among adults with ASD was completely mediated by hyper-responsiveness to touch followed by impairment of speech and aggressive/destructive behavior. The results demonstrated that in adulthood, the tactile sensory system is foundational for social functioning in people with ASD, with diagnosis and intervention implications.
