“…Murdock, Cost, and Tieso (2007) suggested that alterations to communication in AD can vary from absence of verbal communication to pragmatic deficits in otherwise fluent speech. Because of the significance of AD in development, it is important to understand compromises to very early communication in AD; in infants, this means facial expression and vocalization.…”

This study used fMRI to measure brain activity during adult processing of cries of infants with autistic disorder (AD) compared to cries of typically developing (TD) infants. Using whole brain analysis, we found that cries of infants with AD compared to those of TD infants elicited enhanced activity in brain regions associated with verbal and prosodic processing, perhaps because altered acoustic patterns of AD cries render them especially difficult to interpret, and increased activity in brain regions associated with emotional processing, indicating that AD cries also elicit more negative feelings and may be perceived as more aversive and/or arousing. Perceived distress engendered by AD cries related to increased activation in brain regions associated with emotional processing. This study supports the hypothesis that cry is an early and meaningful anomaly displayed by children with AD. It could be that cries associated with AD alter parent-child interactions much earlier than the time that reliable AD diagnosis normally occurs.

“…Younger children with ASD often fail to naturally develop and demonstrate joint attention, an early form of social interaction typically observed between a parent and toddler [3,4]. Continued difficulties as the child develops are observed in reduced number of social initiations and reciprocity in conversation and sustained conversation skills, compared to typically developing school aged children [5,6]. Finally, several studies have demonstrated reduced ability in individuals with ASD to recognize and correctly interpret emotional states from facial affect [7], vocal affect, [8], and video vignettes of interactions [9].…”

While the presentation of autism-related symptoms is variable across individuals with ASD, there is growing evidence that many of these symptoms may be further complicated or exacerbated by comorbid symptoms of psychopathology. Some individuals with ASD may also have difficulty reflecting and reporting on their own behavioral and emotional symptoms, which can interfere with diagnosis and treatment. The current study compared self-and other-ratings of the behavior of 47 young adults with ASD in the home environment, to identify areas of rater agreement and discrepancy across symptoms of both ASD and general pathology. For ASD symptoms, nominated reporters rated the participant's behavior as significantly more impaired regarding social communication symptoms, but no significant difference was found for restricted and repetitive behavior. For symptoms of psychopathology, only attention problems, depression problems, avoidant personality problems, and total problems were reported by others as significantly higher when compared to self-report. While this provides increased confidence for assessing most comorbid symptoms of psychopathology via one reporter, results suggest obtaining collateral reports for ASD symptoms may be important for comprehensive assessment. The results from this study may inform the future of the clinical field regarding the use of a more efficient assessment of individuals with ASD's behavior and comorbid psychopathology.

“…This is evident in many of behavioral manifestations that indicate weakness in social communication and poor social skills among children with Autism (Bellini & Hopf, 2007;Murdock, Cost, & Tieso, 2007). The social skills of students with Autism are among the fundamental objectives of many effective programs based on many of the strategies that take into account the characteristics of these students at the cognitive and social levels.…”

The objective of the present study is to find out the efficiency of a selective training program on the development of some social skills of Saudi students with Autism. The study sample comprised of (6) male students with Autism who aged (9-12) years, with an average age of (10.58) years, and a standard deviation of (1.16) years. Their IQ ranged on the Stanford-Binet Scale between (67-78) degrees, with an average of (72.17) degrees, and a standard deviation of (4.16) degrees. Their grades on Childhood Autism Rating Scale were between (30-36.5), with an average of (33.67) and a standard deviation of (2.48). The study sample is divided into two groups, one of them is an experimental group that comprised (3) students and the other is a control group that comprised (3) students. The sample also comprised of three teachers of these students. The researcher prepared Social Skills Scale for students with Autism, Childhood Autism Rating Scale translated and revised by Al-Shammri and Al-Sertawi (2003), and a selective training program prepared by the researcher. The results showed that the selective training program which is used in this study was effective on improving the social skills of the Saudi students with Autism.
