“…When examining possible early indicators of autism in infants, it is common practice to make use of the terms "high-risk" and "low-risk." A number of proponents have expressed their belief that the term "risk" carries unfavorable connotations (Del Rosario et al, 2023). According to Fletcher-Watson et al (2017), the wording that is currently preferred uses the phrases "increased or elevated likelihood" and "low or typical likelihood.…”

“…It is also detrimental to a child's ability to communicate and socialize. As a result, the likelihood that parents and children with an Elevated Likelihood (EL) for autism will have relationships that are less gratifying than those that parents and children with a Typical Likelihood (TL) for autism would have is increased (Del Rosario et al, 2023).…”

Independent Intervention Program (IIP) Training or Pelatihan Program Intervensi Mandiri (PIM©©) is an Indonesian training model designed to develop parents’ ability in intervening the social skill of their children with autism. The offline training, however, came with some limitations; it had limited number of participants—all coming locally and were only accessible on certain time slots. As a response to these limitations, the IIP training is held online. The research began with spreading of the information regarding the training, analyzing the registered individuals, and appointing them participants when the main criterion is fulfilled: the participant must be a parent of a child with autism. Out of 84 registered individuals, 11 participants were selected, all agreeing to follow through all the training steps. The effectivity of the training was measured using a self-evaluation questionnaire for the participants, as well as evaluation given by instructors. Based on the findings, the online IIP training comes with several advantages: 1) improving parents’ knowledge and ability regarding the intervention on the social skill of their children with autism; 2) having a wider target of participants compared to its offline counterpart; 3) in terms of time and place, offering greater flexibility for participants to access materials for the training. As an implication of the evaluation result, a new strategy is needed to ease online interaction process between instructors and parents in planning the intervention program and implementing it on their children.

“…For instance, studies inves.ga.ng parental behaviour during early dyadic interac.ons with infants at an elevated likelihood for au.sm have revealed dis.nct characteris.cs, such as a more direc.ve interac.on style characterised by increased gesture use (Talbo9 et al, 2013), closer physical proximity (Srinivasan & Bhat, 2020), and a greater amount of verbal instruc.on (Harker et al, 2016), compared to interac.ons with infants at typical likelihood for au.sm. These differences in behavioural pa9erns are not only linked to the frequency and dura.on of interac.ons but have also been associated with subsequent a9en.on levels (Brigham et al, 2010;Del Rosario et al, 2023;Saint-Georges et al, 2011). For instance, in one study among pre-school children diagnosed with au.sm, Brigham et al (2010) found that parental a9en.onal cues which combine verbal and non-verbal behaviours were linked with increased levels of sustained a9en.on, which was not found observed among children at typical likelihood for au.sm.…”

“…Importantly, prior to a formal diagnosis of au.sm, differences in early joint a9en.on skills have been observed among infants at elevated likelihood for au.sm (for a review see, Tanner & Dounavi, 2021). While the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood, varia.ons in early parent-child interac.ons may influence early social communica.ve experiences and skills (Del Rosario et al, 2023). For instance, studies inves.ga.ng parental behaviour during early dyadic interac.ons with infants at an elevated likelihood for au.sm have revealed dis.nct characteris.cs, such as a more direc.ve interac.on style characterised by increased gesture use (Talbo9 et al, 2013), closer physical proximity (Srinivasan & Bhat, 2020), and a greater amount of verbal instruc.on (Harker et al, 2016), compared to interac.ons with infants at typical likelihood for au.sm.…”

Background: Joint attention is achieved through a combination of verbal and non-verbal cues interacting in systematic ways. Nonetheless, existing studies examining multimodal pathways to joint attention focus on the co-occurrence of a limited set of domains, using methods like lag-sequential analysis. Yet, alternative computational methods, such as temporal pattern analysis (T-pattern), provide a multivariate approach which may better capture the temporal dynamics of behaviour. Methods: Mother-infant interactions were recorded at 10 months (n = 20) and coded for parent-initiated bouts of joint attention, speech, touch, deictic and representational gestures. T-pattern analysis was applied to coded interactions to detect recurring patterns of behaviour leading up to and sustaining joint attention. Results and conclusion: Findings demonstrate that maternal behaviour both eliciting and sustaining joint attention exhibits an organised and complex structure of recurring temporal sequences. Linguistic speech represented the highest relative contribution to detected T-patterns. Moreover, T-patterns sustaining joint attention were more frequent and showcased a wider range of dimensional pathways, compared to those eliciting joint attention. These findings demonstrate a proof-of-concept that T-pattern analysis may be particularly effective in uncovering underlying structures of parent behaviour. By homing in on subtle differences in interactive behaviour on an individual level, potential challenges in social communication could be highlighted.

Parent–infant interaction trajectories in infants with an elevated likelihood for autism in relation to 3‐year clinical outcome

Developmental antecedents of autism may affect parent–infant interactions (PII), altering the context in which core social skills develop. While studies have identified differences in PII between infants with and without elevated likelihood (EL) for autism, samples have been small. Here, we examined whether previously reported differences are replicable. From a longitudinal study of 113 EL and 27 typical likelihood infants (TL), 6‐min videotaped unstructured PII was blind rated at 8 and 14 months on eight interactional qualities. Autism outcome was assessed at 36 months. Linear mixed‐effects models found higher parent sensitive responsiveness, nondirectiveness, and mutuality ratings in TL than EL infants with and without later autism. PII qualities at 8 (infant positive affect, parent directiveness) and 14 months (infant attentiveness to parent, mutuality) predicted 3‐year autism. Attentiveness to parent decreased between 8 and 14 months in EL infants with later autism. This larger study supports previous findings of emerging alterations in PII in this group and extends on this by detecting earlier (8‐month) predictive effects of PII for autism outcome and a more marked trajectory of decreased social attentiveness. The findings strengthen the evidence base to support the implementation of early preemptive interventions to support PII in infants with early autism signs.
