Female gender and autism: Underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis – clinical and scientific urgency
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties in communication and social interaction, along with restricted interests and repetitive behaviors. Symptom expression is highly heterogeneous, encompassing a wide range of functional impairments and levels of severity [1,2]. Epidemiological data indicate a higher prevalence of ASD among males than females. Some studies suggest that this apparent gender …
Sensory-based visual attention in autism: From normalization to adaptive support
Over the years, attentional characteristics such as reduced attention to faces or eye contact have been considered impairments and in need of correction in people with autism. This work proposes a reinterpretation of visual attention in people with autism, going beyond the traditional deficit-based approach. It proposes a shift in perspective by examining the characteristics of visual attention in people with autism as a resource for personal ori…
Breaking barriers, building futures: Inclusive workplaces for autistic people
The employment of autistic person is a highly relevant social issue that deserves attention from society. Although in Europe it is estimated that around 5 million people, or 0.67% of the population, are on the autism spectrum, employment rates remain low: only 10% compared to 47% of people with other disabilities [1]. Wanting to explain the characteristics of autism, we want to remember that we are referring to a neurodevelopmental condition char…
Case report: Receptive labeling training in autism: conventional vs. technology-based approaches? a single case study
While technology-based interventions offer new opportunities, they are not universally more effective than traditional methods. Careful consideration of individual differences, especially motivational factors, is essential in designing effective autism intervention programs
From crisis to opportunity: Integrating insights from Covid-19 into the autism research
IntroductionThe pandemic COVID-19 pandemic has presented substantial obstacles to families around the world. Several countries have implemented preventative measures, leading notable disturbance in daily routine. Lockdowns, which have limited physical attendance at school, required parents to adapt to remote working and strongly discouraged social interactions, have radically altered the family landscape. Research indicates that the pandemic has …
Case report: Advances in treating ligyrophobia with third-generation ACT approach
The successful application of ACT in Giulia's case suggests that targeting psychological inflexibility through mindfulness and values clarification can be effective in treating ligyrophobia in children. The integration of metaphors and creative exercises proved valuable in engaging Giulia and fostering therapeutic progress. The findings underscore the importance of a tailored, third-wave therapeutic approach in addressing specific phobias in pedi…
Autism, intelligence, language, and adaptive behavior, disentangling a complex relationship
The study questions the ICD-11's proposed distinctions in IQ and language functioning for ASD, advocating for more refined categorization and developmental considerations. It underscores the intricate relationship between autistic traits, IQ, and communication skills, casting doubt on the precision of diagnostic tools across the spectrum. Parental reports and direct assessments are essential for comprehensive evaluation, with parental education a…
TeleRehabilitation of Social-Pragmatic Skills in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Principal Component Analysis
In many therapeutic settings, remote health services are becoming increasingly a viable strategy for behavior management interventions in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, there is a paucity of tools for recovering social-pragmatic skills. In this study, we sought to demonstrate the effectiveness of a new online behavioral training, comparing the performance of an ASD group carrying out an online treatment (n°8) with respect …
