Abstract

The study describes the relationships between autistic symptomatology severity, developmental heterogeneity, and chronological age for a group of 62 Brazilian children with ASD (59 boys, 3 girls); average chronological age was 42 months and 8 days (SD = 17 months, 15 days). Assessments were carried out with the Social Cognitive Evaluation Battery (SCEB), a French psychological assessment tool currently being validated in Brazil, and the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). Results indicated a negative correlation between developmental levels and intensity of autistic symptoms; a negative correlation between heterogeneity indices and developmental levels; and a positive correlation between heterogeneity indices and autistic symptomatology intensity. When comparing the group of younger children (less than 33 months) to the older children in the sample, the study demonstrates that early socio-emotional heterogeneity is a developmental marker in young children with ASD, and this finding can lead to personalized intervention programs.

研究自闭症谱系障碍儿童的发育特征:早期指标和干预方向

该研究描述了62名巴西ASD儿童(59名男孩，3名女孩)的自闭症症状严重程度、发育异质性和实足年龄之间的关系;平均年龄42个月零8天(SD = 17个月零15天)。评估采用社会认知评估系统(SCEB)和儿童自闭症评定量表(CARS)进行，SCEB是一种法国心理评估工具，目前正在巴西得到验证。结果显示发育水平与自闭症症状强度呈负相关;异质性指数与发育水平呈负相关;异质性指数与自闭症症状强度呈正相关。当将样本中年龄较小的儿童(小于33个月)与年龄较大的儿童进行比较时，该研究表明，早期社会情感异质性是患有ASD的幼儿的一个发展标志，这一发现可以导致个性化的干预方案。
