Abstract:
The aetiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), a group of neurodevelopmental conditions with early onset, characterized by social and communication impairment and restricted interests, is unknown in about a third of the patients. The intense research done over the past decade has revealed a genetic contribution, while the epigenetic contribution barely begins to show. The epigenetic marks can exert an effect in gene expression without altering the underlying genetic sequence. In turn, these marks can be impaired by genetic mutations in their target sequence. Therefore, research in genomic,

Siblings of children with autism (ASD-sibs) often exhibit deficits in social reciprocity and cognitive deficits similar to those of their affected siblings. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between degree of autistic symptomatology and degree of cognitive functioning in sibling pairs seen as part of a longitudinal ASD-focused sibling study. Both cognitive functioning and autistic symptomatology were assessed using continuous measures in sibling pairs.

This ability facilitates the development of social skills and language through shared exploration of objects and social stimuli. Two key aspects of triadic attention are initiating joint attention (IJA), the use of gaze and gestures to involve another in an experience, and behavioral requesting (IBR), the use of verbal and nonverbal communication to elicit help from another.

Abstract:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects communication, socialization, and restricted/repetitive behaviors. In 2012, one out of every 55 children (1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls) have been diagnosed with ASD in the United States. Only 30-40% of ASD has a known etiology (e.g., genetic predisposition) and the other 60-70% is unknown. Prior to this study, there was no known literature on age and gender differences related to neuro-developmental functioning of ASD. The purpose of this study was to examine how the differences in age and gender of people with ASD

Abstract:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that is characterised by deficits in social interaction and communication as well as restricted behaviours or interests (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Commonly referred to as high-functioning, adults with ASD with no co-occurring intellectual disability present with heterogeneous ASD characteristics and psychosocial profiles. While some individuals value specific characteristics associated with a diagnosis of ASD, others report feeling isolated and rejected by society. However, there is currently a poor understanding o

Abstract:
Prisoners have high rates of physical and mental morbidity and of re-offending. There have been concerns that autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) may be overrepresented and under-diagnosed in this population. The aims of this study were to examine the effectiveness of an instrument which was developed to screen for ASDs in prisons and to establish whether male Scottish prisoners differ from community controls with respect to facial emotion recognition, as measured by behavioural testing, and differ on a neural basis while performing complex social judgements, as measured using functional magnetic

Abstract:
Peer victimization is a serious national concern affecting as many as 54% of typically developing children and adolescents. Although an extensive body of literature on peer victimization in typically developing youth exists, few studies have focused on how this problem affects youth with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) who may be at a higher risk to experience peer victimization due to ASD symptomology and other common comorbid characteristics (e.g., anxiety and depressive symptoms) that may invite peer aggression. In this study, 81 school-aged youth between the ages of 9 and 17 years (M= 11.9

Abstract:
A number of studies show that the prevalence of ASD is rising in alarming numbers, currently reaching 1 in every 68 people. The most effective approach 2/2 to improve the lives of these children is to support, train and empower their families from the very first moment that they find out their child’s condition. The researcher has gathered and compared the few models of postdiagnosis for families with young children with autism. The author has created a post-diagnosis support programme merging the analysis of the programmes already in place in other countries with the specific needs of
