Group Physical Activity and Behavioral Practices in Adolescents with Autism: A Case Series on Integrated Educational Interventions
Research on physical activity (PA) interventions for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has shown benefits in various domains, yet questions remain about how to implement such interventions in adolescents effectively. This study case-series study explores the contribution of a PA program integrated with applied behavior analysis (ABA) strategies in improving motor skills and reducing repetitive behaviors in three adolescents with ASD…
Visuospatial skills and intention attribution: A review of the Object Perspective Taking Test and Santa Barbara Sense of Direction questionnaire with Exploratory graph analysis and applications to aut…
Visual-spatial skills are fundamental for navigating the environment and performing daily activities. Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often exhibit atypical perceptual processing, especially regarding complex visual stimuli and visuo-perceptual abilities. This study aims to revise the Object Perspective Taking Test (OPT) and the Santa Barbara Sense of Direction Scale (SBSOD) in the Italian context and to compare visuospatial skill…
Are Autism Spectrum Disorder and Asexuality Connected
Using the Griffiths Mental Development Scales to Evaluate a Developmental Profile of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Their Symptomatologic Severity
Early diagnosis is crucial for Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and is achieved through a screening of developmental indicators to recognise children who are at risk of autism. One of the most widely used instruments in clinical practice for assessing child development is the Griffiths Mental Development Scale (GMDS). We sought (a) to assess longitudinally whether children diagnosed with ASD, with a mean age of 33.50 months (SD 7.69 months), show a…
Stimulus Control Procedure for Reducing Vocal Stereotypies in an Autistic Child
Stereotyped vocal behavior exhibited by a seven-year-old child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and maintained by automatic reinforcement was placed under stimulus control through discrimination training. The training consisted of matching a green card (SD) with free access to vocal stereotypy and a red card (SD-absent) with interruption of stereotypy and vocal redirection. At the same time, appropriate behaviors were reinforced. After dis…
Discrepancies between explicit and implicit evaluation of aesthetic perception ability in individuals with autism: A potential way to improve social functioning
Overall, our results clearly show that individuals with autism are not completely blind to aesthetic pleasure: in fact, they retain an implicit ability to experience beauty. These findings could pave the way for the development of new protocols to rehabilitate ASD social functioning, exploiting their conserved implicit aesthetic perception
Mapping the Network of Social Cognition Domains in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder Through Graph Analysis
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are characterized by difficulties in social cognition (SC) domains. The aim of this study is to build an SC network to explore associations among interacting elements within this cognitive construct. We used a graph analysis to explain how individual SC domains relate to each other and how these relations may differ between ASD and typically developing (TD) groups. Seventy-six children with ASD and 81 …
Mental health issues after the L`aquila (Italy) earthquake
The authors describe the psychological consequences of the April 2009 earthquake on L’Aquila population through a revision of the published literature. This population suffered from important psychological distress but capacity of resilience has been relevant. Resilient mechanisms intervened in aftermath of the earthquake but the long-lasting alterations of the social networks need to be monitored. After the first physical, medical and emergency …
A longitudinal study of quality of life of earthquake survivors in L’Aquila, Italy
WHOQOL-BREF scores of the psychological domain displayed trends conditioned by age and education: older subjects experienced less satisfaction with psychological health on average. Less-educated subjects always demonstrated the worst QOL scores. Gender, age and education impacted the variability of QOL in the environmental dimension in the elderly
Architecture and Infrastructure in the Early Medieval Village: The Case of Tuscany
This article discusses the design and architectural structures of Early Medieval rural settlements in Tuscany, covering the period between the 7th and 10th c. It considers hut types, granaries and store-buildings, along with enclosures, roads, courtyards and artisanal structures. The construction of palisades, ditches and stone fortifications is also discussed. Technological characteristics are discussed in detail. A social interpretation of vill…
