“…Epidemiological samples from three studies accounted for over half of the total (21,613) and the remaining 14,742 came from all other studies (Frazier et al 2012;Kim et al 2014;Maenner et al 2014). Mean participant age ranges were 2.2-51.5 years, with 15 of 25 (60 %) of studies reporting a mean age between 6 and 10 years.…”

A growing body of research has raised concerns about the number of individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) according to DSM-IV-TR who may no longer qualify for diagnoses under the new DSM-5 criteria, published in May 2013. The current study systematically reviews 25 articles evaluating samples according to both DSM-IV-TR and DSM-5 ASD criteria. Consistent with previous reviews, the majority of included studies indicated between 50 and 75% of individuals will maintain diagnoses. We conducted visual analyses of subgroups using harvest plots and found the greatest decreases among high-functioning populations with IQs over 70 and/or previous diagnoses of PDD-NOS or Asperger's disorder. We discuss the potential research and clinical implications of reduced numbers of individuals diagnosed with ASD.

“…To date, clinical diagnosis of ASD is based on behavioral symptoms that include restricted and repetitive patterns of conduct, interests, or activities, and difficulties in (verbal and/or nonverbal) communication/interactions (American Psychiatric Association, 2013; hereafter, DSM 5). Recent changes in diagnostic criteria (Halfon & Kuo, 2013;Maenner et al, 2014) have had a significant impact on both clinical and research practice, encouraging the study of quantitative markers (sometimes defined also as Bbiomarkers^) that may help support standard behavioral diagnosis. In this context, the term Bquantitative^indicates the combination of behavioral/psychophysical (Foss-Feig et al, 2010;Ronconi et al, 2013), neurophysiological (Cattaneo et al, 2007;Vlamings, Jonkman, van Daalen, van der Gaag, & Kemner, 2010), and neuroimaging (Haar, Berman, Behrmann, & Dinstein, 2014;Lynch et al, 2013) markers that-in the last decade-have considerably improved our knowledge on the pathophysiology of ASD (for reviews from different perspectives, see Ecker, Bookheimer, & Murphy, 2015;Kujala, Lepistö, & Näätänen, 2013;Sacrey, Armstrong, Bryson, & Zwaigenbaum, 2014;Simmons et al, 2009).…”

To understand others' minds is crucial for survival; however, it is quite puzzling how access to others' minds can be-to some extent-direct and not necessarily mediated by conceptual reasoning. Recent advances in neuroscience have led to hypothesize a role for motor circuits not only in controlling the elementary physical features of movement (e.g., force, direction, and amplitude), but also in understanding and shaping human behavior. The concept of Bmotor cognition^refers to these aspects, and neurophysiological, neuroimaging, and behavioral studies in human and nonhuman primates support this view. From a clinical perspective, motor cognition represents a challenge in several domains. A thorough investigation of the neural mechanisms mediating motor action/intention understanding and automatized/compulsive behaviors seems to be a promising way to tackle a range of neurodevelopmental and drug-related disorders. On the one hand, anomalies in motor cognition may have cascade effects on social functioning in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD); on the other, motor cognition may help explain the pathophysiology of drug-seeking and drug-taking behaviors in the most severe phase of drug addiction (i.e., see drug dependence, motor low-order cue reactivity). This may represent a promising approach that could improve the efficacy of rehabilitative interventions. The only way to shed light on multifactorial disorders such as ASD and drug addiction is through the investigation of their multiple factors. This motor way can promote new theoretical and experimental perspectives that would help bridge the gap between the basic neuroscience approach and clinical practice.

Abstract. This study aims to design a training tool for therapy of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASDs). Typically, ASDs pass through obstacle track several times with sandbags, which should be picked up from starting point and threw into a box at the end during sensory integration therapy. Counting the sandbags can help ASDs to have concept about the progress of mission. We redesign the counting box named "Skybox" which can help counting by playing sound after detect something throw in it. Aims to probe into the sound preference of two main subjects, an experiment with four kinds of sounds is conducted in this paper by using the method of paired comparisons. The result shows they like animals most, followed by human voice and nature sounds, and music instrument is the last. The material preference experiment shows two subjects like acrylic most, wood and paper are secondary while furry is the last. Skybox shortens their training time for 23.53%, 29.87% and 37.37% in three different projects. We consider that Skybox attracts ASDs therefore reduces their distraction and improves their performance in the usability test.
