  • Continuity of trajectories of autism symptom severity from infancy to childhood

    Open AccessMartina Franchini, Isabel M Smith et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2023

    BACKGROUND: Behavioral symptom trajectories are informative of the development of young children at increased likelihood for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). METHODS: Developmental trajectories of early signs were examined in a cohort of siblings of children diagnosed with ASD (n = 502) from 6 to 18 months using the Autism Observation Scale for Infants (AOSI), and from 18 months to 5-7 years using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS).…

  • Distinct Patterns of Cognitive Outcome in Young Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder Receiving the Early Start Denver Model

    Open AccessMichel Godel, François Robain et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    Evidence-based, early intervention significantly improves developmental outcome in young children with autism. Nonetheless, there is high interindividual heterogeneity in developmental trajectories during the therapy. It is established that starting intervention as early as possible results in better developmental outcomes. But except for younger age at start, there is no clear consensus about behavioral characteristics that could provide a relia…

  • Symptom trajectories in the first 18 months and autism risk in a prospective high‐risk cohort

    Open AccessLonnie Zwaigenbaum, Jessica Brian et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2021

    BACKGROUND: Although early autism spectrum disorder (ASD) detection strategies tend to focus on differences at a point in time, behavioral symptom trajectories may also be informative. METHODS: Developmental trajectories of early signs of ASD were examined in younger siblings of children diagnosed with ASD (n = 499) and infants with no family history of ASD (n = 177). Participants were assessed using the Autism Observation Scale for Infants (AOSI…

  • Emotional vs. Neutral Face Exploration and Habituation

    Open AccessAurélie Bochet, Martina Franchini et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2021

    Diminished orienting to social stimuli, and particularly to faces, is a core feature of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Impaired face processing has been linked to atypical attention processes that trigger a cascade of pathological development contributing to impaired social communication. The aim of the present study is to explore the processing of emotional and neutral faces using an eye-tracking paradigm (the emotional faces task) with a gro…

  • The impact of social complexity on the visual exploration of others' actions in preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder

    Open AccessFrançois Robain, Nada Kojovic et al.ARTICLEBMC Psychology2021

    Our results suggest that similar to TD children, though to a lesser extent, visual exploration patterns in ASD are modulated by context. Children with ASD that were less sensitive to context modulation showed decreased socio-communicative skills or higher levels of symptoms. Our findings support using naturalistic designs to capture socio-communicative deficits in ASD

  • Neural Processing of Dynamic Animated Social Interactions in Young Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

    Open AccessReem Kais Jan, Tonia A Rihs et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2019

    Background: Atypical neural processing of social visual information contributes to impaired social cognition in autism spectrum disorder. However, evidence for early developmental alterations in neural processing of social contingencies is scarce. Most studies in the literature have been conducted in older children and adults. Here, we aimed to investigate alterations in neural processing of social visual information in children with autism spect…

  • Brief Report

    Open AccessMartina Franchini, Hilary Wood de Wilde et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2016

    Recent research has consistently demonstrated reduced orienting to social stimuli in samples of young children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, social orienting greatly varies between individual children on the spectrum. Better understanding this heterogeneity in social orienting may contribute to our comprehension of the mechanisms underlying autistic symptoms thereby improving our ability to intervene. Indeed, children on the auti…
