Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) seem to have difficulties looking others in the eyes, but substrate for this behavior is not well understood. The subcortical pathway, which consists of superior colliculus, pulvinar nucleus thalamus, and amygdala, enables rapid automatic face processing. A specific component pathway - i.e., amygdala has been shown be abnormally activated paradigms where individuals had specifically attend eye-region; however, a direct examination effect...
Abstract There is ample behavioral evidence of diminished orientation towards faces as well the presence face perception impairments in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but underlying mechanisms these deficits are still unclear. We used face-like object stimuli that have been shown to evoke pareidolia typically developing (TD) individuals test effect a global configuration on and perceptual processes young children with ASD age-matched TD controls. show were more likely look first upright...
Abstract Research providing an evidence-base for autistic adult services is sparse. The Autism Spectrum Disorders in the European Union (ASDEU) network implemented on-line survey to determine gaps diagnostic evaluation and post-diagnostic support services. More than 55% all groups experienced most of recommended features adults. In contrast, < 2% adults or carers, 21% professionals each support. contrast 61% professionals, only about 30% carers had knowledge good local models autism...
In autistic individuals, the role, performance, and autonomy of perceptual functioning are atypical. Overlapping underlying mechanisms perception mental imagery predict that abilities individuals should differ from those non‐autistic individuals. While enhanced to manipulate images have been demonstrated in autism, other stages (generation, maintenance, inspection) remain be explored. Forty‐four adults 42 typical participants performed four tasks assess different imagery: Image generation...
Visual scanning of faces in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been intensively studied using eye-tracking technology. However, most studies have relied on the same analytic approach based quantification fixation time, which may failed to reveal some important features strategies employed by ASD. In present study, we examined a group 20 preschoolers ASD and their typically developing (TD) peers, both classical time new developed transition matrices network analysis. We found...
When looking at faces, typical individuals tend to have a right hemispheric bias manifested by tendency look first toward the left visual hemifield. Here, we tested for presence of this in young children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) both human and dog faces. We show that ASD do not hemifield (right hemispheric) In addition, effect extends faces dogs, suggesting absence is specific but applies all first-order configuration, pointing an anomaly early stage analysis The lack dominance...
Autistic individuals are often described as thinking in pictures. The aim of this study was to investigate the phenomenological characteristics mental representations and inner experiences autistic individuals. A total 39 adults 80 control answered an online questionnaire. participants reported a more frequent use visual than controls for different types everyday situations. Moreover, defined their detailed participants. Furthermore, when describing experiences, used perceptive themes...
The Autism Spectrum Disorders in the European Union (ASDEU) survey investigated local services' use experiences of autistic adults, carers and professionals with interventions for adults. majority 697 participants experienced recommended considerations prior to deciding on intervention during plan implementation. Psychosocial were most commonly interventions, while pharmacological NOT core symptoms reported by fairly large proportions participants. Family slightly more than adults or...
The Autism Spectrum Disorders in the European Union (ASDEU) survey investigated knowledge and health service experiences of users providers to generate new hypotheses scientific investigations that would contribute improvement care for autistic adults. An online designed adults, carers professionals adult services was translated into 11 languages distributed electronically by organizations in-country facilities 2017; 522 442 carers, 113 provided answers questions. Professionals, majority...
Satisfaction with the detection process of autism and its determinants was investigated using data from Autism Spectrum Disorder in European Union (2015–2018) network. A total 1342 family members, including 1278 parents, completed an online survey collecting information about their experience satisfaction early child. Overall, level varied considerably one respondent to another. Difficulty finding services, lack professional guidance support response first concerns, a diagnostic service on...
There is very little knowledge regarding autistic adult services, practices, and delivery. The study objective was to improve understanding of current services practices for adults opportunities improvement as part the Autism Spectrum Disorder in European Union (ASDEU) project. Separate survey versions were created adults, carers professionals services. 2,009 persons responded 1,085 (54%) them completed at least one sections: 469 (65% female; 55% <35 years old), 441 (27% 6% 175 (76% 67%...
Le dépistage précoce de l’autisme représente un véritable enjeu santé publique car il favorise la mise en œuvre rapide d’une intervention adaptée. Malgré leur utilité, les outils restent peu utilisés par professionnels première ligne raison notamment faible adéquation aux pratiques. Les technologies l’information et communication permettent développer des solutions innovantes, adaptées besoins professionnels, grâce à digitalisation l’intégration l’intelligence artificielle ces dispositifs.
Abstract The perception/action coupling, underpinned by Mirror Neurons, allows the understanding of others’ action goal and intention picked up from cues conveyed individual’s kinematics context action. This mechanism can be modulated familiarity with observed action, motor experience expertise for that but could it age-related skills agent performing action? We used an eye-tracking visual preference paradigm to study modulation coupling in 62 adults when viewing videos daily actions...
Abstract The objective of this study was to characterize, through indices extracted from eye-tracking measurements, the spontaneous distinction videos daily actions with a variable perception/action coupling, depending on whether, for same action, video presented in forward reading direction (strong coupling), or backward (weaker coupling). 17 pairs performed by adults were viewed 36 typically developing children and 28 ASD aged 7-18 years. During exposure phase, they watched two action...
Les interventions médiatisées par les parents sont importantes pour soutenir la relation dyadique parent/enfant et favorisent apprentissages en milieu naturel. La télésanté représente une solution innovante étendre l’accessibilité des familles d’enfants atteints de troubles du spectre l’autisme à ces interventions. L’objectif programmes est développer connaissances parentales sur leur permettre l’acquisition compétences spécifiques partir d’axes travail individualisés. Il s’agit ainsi...
