Abstract:
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) describe a set of neurodevelopmental disorders. ASD represents a significant public health problem. Currently, ASDs are not diagnosed before the 2nd year of life but an early identification of ASDs would be crucial as interventions are much more effective than specific therapies starting in later childhood. To this aim, cheap an contact-less automatic approaches recently aroused great clinical interest. Among them, the cry and the movements of the newborn, both involving the central nervous system, are proposed as possible indicators of neurological disorders.

Abstract:
Background / Aim Signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can be observed in the first two years of life. However early detection of ASD remains challenging, partly because no reliable and easy to use routine screening instrument for infants and toddlers is currently available to clinicians. Some early ASD related deficits in social communication and interaction are also typical of sustained social withdrawal in infants and toddlers. The current study aims to test whether a brief observational screening instrument for social withdrawal in infants, the modified Alarm Distress Baby Scale (m-ADBB)

Autism spectrum disorder is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition accompanied by differences in brain anatomy and connectivity. Whilst the ASD brain has been widely studied under the lens of neuroimaging, results are both spatially and temporally heterogeneous. The most ubiquitous findings relate to global differences in the trajectory of early brain growth. Thus, there is a compelling need to characterize the neurodevelopmental trajectory of brain maturation in ASD beyond these early years and beneath the global level.

Abstract:
ASD is a neurodevelopmental disorder which primarily affects social interaction and communication. However, a growing literature has also identified some episodic memory difficulties in this group (e.g.: free recall, autobiographical memory, recollection). A plausible reason ·for this is that people with ASD lack the metacognitive mechanisms necessary for efficient memory. Hitherto, few studies have assessed metamemory (awareness of one's own memory) in ASD.

Abstract:
Past studies have found substantial benefits associated with integrating neurotypically developing students as peer supporters for children with autism (McCurdy & Cole, 2013). The current study asks the question as to whether or not the support of typically developing students benefits the social skills development of twice-exceptional students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The “twice-exceptionality” in this study is specifically related to a heightened interest and proficiency in technology compared to children in their same age group, along with a coexisting diagnosis of autism. iSoci

Abstract:
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by social communication deficits and restricted and repetitive interests. It mostly affects males, and has a range of severities and presentations. The causes of ASD are, as yet, unknown, though research indicates that a combination of genetic and environmental factors contribute to aberrant brain structure and function. The structure of the brain can be non-invasively assessed in vivo using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The MRI method diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can be used to reconstruct the brain’s white m

Abstract:
This thesis examines language alignment in children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by impaired social understanding and poor communication skills. Alignment, the tendency for speakers to repeat one another's linguistic choices in conversation, promotes better communication and more satisfying interactions (cf. e.g., Fusaroli et al., 2012). By corollary, deficits in alignment may adversely affect both communicative and affective aspects of conversation. Across three studies, I consider whether ASD children's conversational deficits relate to

Abstract:
<p>Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder have difficulties with interpersonal relationships at all ages and functioning levels, including difficulties in effective communication, sharing enjoyment and interests with others, and emotional reciprocity (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). Many individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder struggle with social connectedness. In typically developing individuals, a lack of social connectedness may yield a perception of loneliness. In the current study, the investigator sought to determine what features influence perceptions of loneliness in ado

Their voices have been silenced from research for too long. I try to explain a narrative research lens as a foundation for this document – one that views autism not as a disorder, but as a difference that needs to be embraced

Abstract:
The overall aim of this thesis is to use the distinctive “spectrum” approach uniquely offered by the Diagnostic Interview for Social and Communication Disorders (DISCO) to explore the different descriptions of Autism Spectrum Disorder across four parts of the thesis. Part 1 introduces the concept of an “autism spectrum” and evaluates how this is continually developing. In Part 2, the focus is on the associated behaviours of ASD, that is, the behaviours not used to make a diagnosis. Sensory behaviours were found to be related to the core features of ASD, to maladaptive behaviours and were found
