“…He described autistic children as having an intense desire for sameness and aloneness, while also noting that the group had very few “warmhearted” parents. In 1944, Hans Asperger described a similar group of children, but incorporated strong cognitive abilities as a core feature, applying the term “autistic psychopathy” to these characteristics (Jackman & Zwaigenbaum, 2023). In the 1980s, this medicalized view of autism was codified as a distinct diagnosis in the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-III, American Psychiatric Association, 1980).…”

Purpose: Whereas the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) characterizes autism as a neurological disorder typified by impairment in social communication and restricted interests/repetitive behaviors (American Psychiatric Association, 2013), the neurodiversity paradigm focuses on autism as a form of neurological diversity that may be central to a person's identity. The purpose of this study was to pilot the Autism Understanding Tool for Introspection and Evaluation (AUTIE) as a means to encourage and examine speech–language pathologists' (SLPs) reflections on autism. Methods: We utilized purposeful maximum variation sampling to recruit nine SLPs (one being a graduate student) and administered a “think aloud” procedure with video conferencing to elicit their reflections while taking the AUTIE. Participant reflections were analyzed using three sequential phases of inductive thematic analysis. Results: The analysis of 270 self-reflective comments led to eight key themes that were each associated with comments from four or more of the nine participating SLPs: (a) acknowledgment of divergent perspectives, (b) specification of environmental barriers, (c) importance of autistic identity, (d) questioning the concept of normality, (e) resolving tensions through person-centered care, (f) integrating multiple forms of expertise, (g) parallels with other marginalized identities, and (h) changes in views over time. We contextualized the themes by embedding examples within analytic narratives from two autistic SLP participants Conclusion: Results supported use of the AUTIE as a tool to elicit meaningful reflection about the divergent and evolving views of autism. Implications focused on the need to address this complex landscape both within our individualized clinical practice and our professional field at large.

“…It was first described in 1943, in the United States, by the Austrian physician Leo Kanner and later by Hans Asperger, in 1944 in Austria, who compared the symptoms of autism similarly to that described by Kanner [7][8][9][10].…”

Purpose: investigate through the application of M-Chat method, children with autism spectrum disorder who did not have an early diagnosis, in four daycares in the city of Iranduba/AM. Methods: A cross-sectional, quantitative study, performed through a questionnaire for teachers and parents of children on maternal 1 and 2. In an effort to measure behavioral criteria associated with the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a study was conducted. The method used for data collection was a modified version of the checklist for Autism in Toddlers, known as M-Chat. Specifically targeted were 116 children between ages 24 and 36 months who were at scholar age compatible with Maternal 1 and 2 respectively. Results yielded those 10 possible cases of ASD existed within this group; these individuals then underwent further evaluation by specialists at Psychosocial Care Center in Iranduba -AM called CAPS where 6 diagnoses of ASD were made: 5 females and only one male; results were contradictory to previous studies citing higher prevalence rates among males. Conclusion: While considered an efficient tool for research purposes according to our findings, it must be noted that accurate identification could not have been reached without the participation from attentive educators aided by observant parents whose eagerness contributed significantly towards promoting early detection amongst affected youngsters thus facilitating improved outcomes post-diagnosis intervention efforts.
