The beneficial effect of early intervention is well described for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Response to is, however, highly heterogeneous in affected children, and there currently only scarce information about predictors response intervention. Based on the hypothesis that impaired social orienting hinders subsequent development communication interactions ASD, we sought examine whether level modulates treatment outcome young ASD. We used eye-tracking technology measure a...
Both expressive and receptive language difficulties in autism emerge early significantly have an impact on social functioning quality of life. Despite their wide heterogeneity, autistic abilities can be stratified into three distinct profiles. Language unimpaired exhibit near-typical verbal performance, impaired show significant alterations structure, minimally display limited abilities. However, little is known about the trajectories moderators specific to each profile. Here, we used a...
Atypical prosody in speech production is a core feature of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) that can impact everyday life communication. Because the ability to modulate develops around age acquisition, it might be affected by ASD symptoms and developmental delays emerge at same period. Here, we investigated existence prosodic signature level symptom severity sample 74 autistic preschoolers. We first developed an original diarization pipeline extract preschoolers' vocalizations from recordings...
Most studies in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) support a decrement imitation performance. Factors related to visual attention and motor execution have been proposed explain this phenomenon ASD. However, investigated various methods, leading inconsistent findings. Here, we examine performance execution. We focused on the of meaningful meaningless gestures, consistently reported as more affected than actions objects The eye-tracking task consisted video an actor demonstrating...
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often face challenges in early social communication skills, prompting the need for a detailed exploration of specific behaviors and their impact on cognitive adaptive functioning. This study aims to address this gap by examining developmental trajectories skills preschoolers ASD aged 18-60 months, comparing them age-matched typically developing (TD) children. Utilizing scales (ESCS), research employs longitudinal design capture changes over time....

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background. </bold>Parenting a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often brings important challenges. Parents may experience stress emerging during the pre-diagnosis phase, which persists after diagnosis confirmation as additional responsibilities and challenges arise. In parallel, parents are encouraged to seek support for their child. Though play critical roles in early intervention, they rarely considered predictors targets of successful intervention....
Abstract Background Imitation behaviors develop very early and increase in frequency complexity during childhood. Most studies children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) support a general decrement imitation performance. To better understand this phenomenon ASD, factors related to visual attention motor execution have been proposed. However, these used various paradigms explored different types of heterogeneous samples, leading inconsistent findings. The present study examines performance...
<title>Abstract</title> Language difficulties in autism emerge early and significantly impact social functioning quality of life. Despite their wide heterogeneity, autistic language abilities can be parsed into three distinct phenotypes. Unimpaired (LU) exhibit near-typical verbal performance, Impaired (LI) show significant alterations structure, Minimally Verbal (MV) display limited abilities. However, little is known about the trajectories moderators specific to each phenotype. Here, we...
