Background: Although autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are generally considered lifelong disabilities, literature suggests that a minority of individuals with an ASD will lose the diagnosis. However, existence this phenomenon, as well its frequency and interpretation, is still controversial: were they misdiagnosed initially, rare event, did full diagnosis, but suffer significant social communication impairments or all symptoms function socially within normal range? Methods: The present study...
In this interdisciplinary study, Ann Bermingham explores the complex, ambiguous, and often contradictory relationship between English landscape painting socio-economic changes that accompanied enclosure Industrial Revolution.
Although several studies have investigated developmental trajectories of executive functioning (EF) in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) using lab-based tasks, no study to date has directly measured how EF skills everyday settings vary at different ages. The current seeks extend prior work by evaluating age-related differences parent-reported problems during childhood and adolescence a large cross-sectional cohort children ASD.Children (N = 185) an ASD without intellectual...
Background: Longitudinal pediatric neuroimaging studies have demonstrated increasing volumes of white matter and regionally‐specific inverted U shaped developmental trajectories gray during childhood adolescence. Studies monozygotic dyzygotic twins this period allow exploration genetic non‐genetic influences on these trajectories. Method: Magnetic resonance imaging brain scans were acquired a sample 90 twin pairs, 38 same‐sex 158 unrelated typically developing singletons. Structural equation...
AbstractExecutive functioning (EF) is examined among children and adolescents once diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but who no longer meet diagnostic criteria. These individuals have average social language skills, receive minimal school support are considered to achieved "optimal outcomes" (OOs). Since residual impairments in these might be expected deficits central autism, developmentally advanced EF was 34 OOs, 43 high-functioning (HFA), typically developing (TD) peers....
There is widespread agreement that tolerance a mainstay of modern liberalism. less about what justifies it. As starting point I want to offer the definition toleration as "the refusal, where one has power do so, prohibit or seriously interfere with conduct finds objectionable." 2 If we include expression ideas through speech other media part "conduct" then this will serve us adequately. It captures central tension between disapproving some and yet allowing it continue find in etymology word...
A bstract : Recently discovered sexual dimorphism within developing brain structures such as the amygdala and hippocampus suggests that biological factors may account for many of sex differences in stress reactivity. In this study, we have relied on studies naturally occurring anomalous processes, congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY), to observe effects hormones chromosomes thought influence an individual's vulnerability stress. Brain magnetic resonance imaging...
