A criança com autismo: trajetórias desenvolvimentais atípicas à luz da teoria piagetiana da equilibração

Introduction: Intellectual disability (ID) is frequently associated as a comorbidity in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This study investigated a) how similar the heterogeneity in the cognitive and socio-emotional developmental profiles was for children with ASD and ID, b) the difference between the subjects’ profiles and those of typically developing children (TD) matched for developmental levels, c) the skills existing with the lowest and highest developmental levels, and d) the relationship between developmental profiles in ASD and the severity of autism, ID, and the overall developmental level. Participants: The sample was comprised of 119 children (101 boys and 18 girls) who ranged in chronological age (CA) from 21 months to 14 years ( M = 5 years 2 months; SD = 2 years 6 months) with developmental levels lower than 24 months. They came from three countries (France = 40, Brazil = 40, and Algeria = 39). The control group was comprised of 40 TD children from these same countries who ranged in CA from 4 to 24 months ( M = 1 year 3 months; SD = 5 months). The ASD diagnosis was carried out according to International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems-10th Edition (ICD-10), Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR), Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5th ed (DSM-5) criteria and the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). Measures: Children were tested using the Social Cognitive Evaluation Battery (SCEB; Adrien, 2007) by trained psychologists from public and private institutions specialized in the diagnosis of autism and interventions in this field. The SCEB explores 16 functional abilities, in both cognitive and socio-emotional areas, and allows the calculation of domain and area developmental levels and heterogeneity indices for the global, cognitive, and socio-emotional areas. Results: Children with ASD developmental profiles show very high heterogeneity as opposed to TD children. Regardless of the country of origin, there are similarities between the heterogeneous cognitive and socio-emotional developmental profiles of the children with ASD, whose profiles are characterized by lower developmental levels of language and vocal imitation skills, and a relationship between these developmental heterogeneities and the degree of severity of autistic symptomatology, intellectual disability, and overall development level. The implications of this study are presented for clinical assessment and intervention purposes in ASD and ID.

“…De acordo com alguns autores (Corrêa, 2014;Fiore-Correia, 2010;Lampreia, 2004), apesar de a criança com TEA apresentar falhas inatas que levam a trajetórias atípicas, a ação de mães e de pais pode auxiliar no desenvolvimento dos filhos, aumentando a sua funcionalidade em atividades da vida diária. Neste momento, acredita-se ser importante considerar que apesar da possibilidade de desenvolvimento da criança com TEA em áreas inicialmente comprometidas nesse transtorno, isso não implica necessariamente que essa criança acompanhará a criança com desenvolvimento típico (Mazetto, 2015).…”

Resumo. Os comprometimentos característicos do Transtorno do EspectroAutista (TEA) podem levar as crianças a apresentarem limitações no desenvolvimento, na manutenção e na compreensão dos relacionamentos socioafetivos. Por essa razão, este trabalho investigou as dificuldades relatadas por mães e por pais no relacionamento com os filhos com risco ou diagnóstico de TEA. Participaram oito mães e oito pais de crianças com risco ou diagnóstico de TEA por meio de respostas ao roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado. A partir do relato dos progenitores, foi possível identificar que, para a maioria deles, a principal dificuldade no relacionamento com os filhos era decorrente do comprometimento na comunicação interativa presente nas crianças com risco/diagnóstico de TEA. Dessa forma, torna-se necessário investir nos vínculos com as crianças com risco ou diagnóstico desse transtorno, uma vez que são eles os responsáveis pelo desenvolvimento de aspectos comprometidos do TEA, como a atenção compartilhada, responsável pelo desenvolvimento da comunicação interativa.

The characteristic impairments of the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may lead children to present limitations in their development, maintenance, and understanding of socio-affective relationships. Therefore, this study investigated the difficulties reported by mothers and fathers in the relationship with their children at risk of ASD or diagnosed with ASD. The participants were eight mothers and eight parents of children at risk of ASD or diagnosed with ASD by means of responding to a semi-structured interview script. From the parents' report, it was possible to identify that, for most of them, the main difficulty in the relationship with their children was due to the impairments in interactive communication present in the children with Dificuldades de mães e de pais no relacionamento com crianças com Transtorno do Espectro Autista
