Sensory processing in autism
Grandin's contributions to the understanding of sensory experiences in autism span both scientific research and personal narrative. Her work has provided valuable insights into the neurological basis of sensory processing differences and has informed intervention strategies, particularly through her writings and co-authored publications on sensory-based approaches (e.g., Grandin & Panek, 2013).Her comment served as a compelling reminder of a wide…
Early Learning in Autism as an Atypical Balance between Assimilation and Accommodation Processes
Many children on the autism spectrum are capable of learning large amounts of material in specific areas – yet, they often show learning delays across multiple domains. Additionally, they typically show the ability and motivation to learn from practice and from the outcomes of their own actions, while having difficulties learning from novel situations and from others’ actions and communications. We propose that these and other phenomena reflect, …
Experiences and Attitudes on Early Identification Practices of Autism
Early identification of children with autism is necessary to support their social and communicative skills and cognitive, verbal, and adaptive development. Researchers have identified several barriers to early diagnosis. Data collected in low- and middle-income contexts-where the vast majority of children in the world live-is scarce. In Ecuador, as in many other countries, estimates are lower compared to the global prevalence. Health authorities …
Enhancement of Social Communication Behaviors in Young Children With Autism Affects Maternal Stress
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show difficulties in social communication behaviors, emotion regulation and daily living skills, and they frequently present with challenging behaviors. In parents of children with ASD, higher rates of stress and mental health problems have been reported than in parents of either typically developing children or children with other conditions. In this study, we tested whether maternal well-being change…
Autism Spectrum Disorders
Towards the DSM‐5 Criteria for Autism
The new edition of the DSM is proposing significant changes to current diagnostic definitions of autism and related conditions. In this article, we will discuss the clinical, research, and cultural implications of these changes. We conclude that the new criteria appear to better reflect current understanding of the autism spectrum disorder than the current DSM-IV criteria. As expected with any major change in classification systems, there are als…
Intact and impaired mechanisms of action understanding in autism
Typically developing children understand and predict others' behavior by extracting and processing relevant information such as the logic of their actions within the situational constraints and the intentions conveyed by their gaze direction and emotional expressions. Children with autism have difficulties understanding and predicting others' actions. With the use of eye tracking and behavioral measures, we investigated action understanding mecha…
