Abstract:
Background: Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have been shown to be compromised in cognitive flexibility and attentional switching. However, most studies that examine these executive functions did not distinguish between the ability to form new concepts and the ability to switch between concepts. Very few attempts have been made to disassociate them as separate abilities, or investigate whether the animate or inanimate nature of the concepts/objects affects these abilities. Further, very few switching tasks have investigated the autistic spectrum as a whole, with most studies foc

This thesis presents research conducted at the cognitive level, the neurophysiological level and the psycho-physical level, for examining vision in ASD. The psycho-physical findings suggest that atypical visual perception in ASD is unlikely to have a sub-cortical origin as sub-cortical magnocellular and parvocellular pathway functioning, and low/high spatial frequency detection in adolescents with ASD were found to be no different from typically-developing controls. There was, however, evidence indicating local motion direction perception deficits in the same adolescents with ASD suggesting th

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,

Unusual Sensory Experiences (USEs) are a significant and common issue in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). People may be over- or under-sensitive to sensory information in any of the sensory domains. These expenences can seriously affect people's lives, causing distress and correlating with impairments in a number of areas of functioning. These experiences have received relatively little attention in research into ASDs. The first paper reviews the literature from the last ten years for treatments for USEs and their sequelae.

It is commonly observed that people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) make fewer attempts to have social contact. A recent theory suggests that reduced motivation to have social interactions might be the root for social difficulties in ASD (Chevallier, Kohls, Troiani, Brodkin, & Schultz, 2012). There are currently few simple behavioural ways to test these claims. The aim of this research was 1) to develop a measure of social seeking component of social motivation that is simple enough to be used with a large population of people with ASD; and 2) to test if there is evidence of reduced social
