Happe and Frith 2006 - ANSWERS✔✔This reading is about the tendency of
people with ASD to have "weak central coherence" which is the inability to see the
gist or the big picture of something and instead they focus on the small irrelevant
details. The reading discusses the research done on this topic and it also mentions
how people with ASD are superior in local processing rather than having a deficit
in global processing.
Van der Hallen et al., 2015 - ANSWERS✔✔This reading is about the local and
global processing in people with ASD. Research finding often contradict each
other in whether there is a deficit in local or global processing. This reading
selected 56 articles that tested about 1000 people with ASD and used them to
investigate local and global visual processing in ASD. The results found no
enhanced in local visual processing nor a deficit in global visual processing, but
there is a deficit in temporal global processing (slow).
Brundson & Happe, 2013 - ANSWERS✔✔The purpose of this article is to
examine the proposal that autism is 'fractionable' at the cognitive level.
Fractionable means that the social and nonsocial symptoms of ASD are suggested
to have distinct causes at the genetic, neural, cognitive and behavioral levels.
Different cognitive tests were used to find the results.
Wei et al., 2014 - ANSWERS✔✔This reading is about the reading and math
abilities of people on the spectrum that are either higher-achieving (39%),
hyperlexia (9%), hypercalculia (20%) and lower-achieving (32%). Children with
hypercalculia and lower-achieving profiles were more likely to be from low
socioeconomic families and had lower functional cognitive skills than the higher-
achieving profile. All 4 groups lost ground in passage comprehension over time.
Hyperlexia people are good at recognizing words and letters but lack whole
passage comprehension. Hypercalculia are good at math and numbers.
,Matson & Nebel-Schwam, 2007 - ANSWERS✔✔This reading is about different
measures that are used to assess problematic behaviors in ASD like self-injury,
aggression, noncompliance, and stereotypes. The behaviors often go un-assessed
and there is not much research about them. They are physically dangerous and can
impede learning and access to normal activities. The article concluded that these
behaviors should be routinely screened for and there should be more research on
them.
Kanne & Mazurek, 2010 - ANSWERS✔✔This reading is about the prevalence and
risk factors of aggressive behavior in children and adolescence with ASD. The
study examined 1,380 children and adolescence with ASD and reported that the
prevalence of aggressive behavior was high. Individuals who are younger, come
from a
higher income family, have more parent reported social/communication problems,
or engage in repetitive behaviors were more likely to demonstrate aggression.
Jack & Pelphrey, 2017 - ANSWERS✔✔This reading is about how there is not
much research on people with minimal verbal skills, intellectual disabilities, and
regression with ASD. The reading evaluates existing neuroimaging research on this
group of people.
Kasari et al., 2014 - ANSWERS✔✔This reading is about communication
intervention for minimally verbal children with autism. The study tested the effect
of beginning treatment with a speech-generating device (SGD) in the context of a
blended, adaptive treatment design for improving spontaneous, communicative
utterances in school-aged, minimally verbal children with autism. The results were
that minimal verbal children can make significant and rapid improvements with
intervention that incorporates an SGD.
, Lerner et al., 2017 - ANSWERS✔✔This reading is about the relationship between
verbal ability in youths with ASD and psychiatric symptoms. The study uses a
large sample of inpatient and outpatient youth with ASD to compare psychiatric
comorbidity. They found that verbal youth were more likely to present with and
meet clinical cutoffs for depression and oppositional defiant disorder symptoms,
with greater impairment associated with depression. Youth in inpatient settings had
greater symptom severity.
Tager-Flusberg, 2016 - ANSWERS✔✔This reading is about how more studies
should include older, non-verbal people with ASD to encompass the full range of
heterogeneity in the population. The reading gives advice and strategies on what
tests to use for these types of cases because there are numerous barriers
that prevent researchers from collecting high-quality data from these individuals.
The goal of this paper is to provide the field with useful guidelines that will
promote the inclusion of the
entire spectrum of individuals with autism spectrum disorder in future research
investigations
Lillienfeld 2007 (pp. 58 - 60) - ANSWERS✔✔This reading is about certain
intervention treatments that can potentially do more harm than good for certain
individuals.
Semrud-Clikeman et al., 2010 - ANSWERS✔✔This reading is about the possible
differences among children with nonverbal learning disabilities, Asperger disorder,
or ADHD on measures of verbal ability, fluid reasoning, and visual-motor skills.
The hypothesis that the NLD group would score more poorly on the Performance
IQ measure compared to the other groups was confirmed. The AS group scored
more poorly than the control group but not the ADHD groups and there was no
difference among the ADHD groups and the control groups
