An intuitive description of the sudden transition of an autonomous optimizer with cognition into an “other-centered” mode of functioning is offered. This “bifurcation” is highly nontrivial. It presupposes a specific rewardability of the individual by the displayed joyfulness of the interaction partner. This is the case if the momentarily experienced reward on the one side, displayed, causes an even larger reward on the other side and vice versa. Secondly, the presence of mirror-competence in both individuals enables a positive feedback to occur across all possible rewards on either side. This type of cross coupling then leads to the occurrence of an event of “seeing with the eyes of the other.” The event can be called “personogenesis” because only persons can see in this fashion. This model entails the prediction that a functional “smile blindness” prevents personogenesis. It not only explains deep autism, but also enables a causal therapy: A deliberate “acoustic smile,” if expressed by the care-giving bonding partner whenever momentarily delighted in the interaction, predictably suffices. The proposed therapy is so simple that it can be offered by non-medical professionals and ordinary parents. The litmus test that the method works consists in the implied prediction that the same “personogenetic therapy” can be extended to other mirror-competent bonding animals.","PeriodicalId":89745,"journal":{"name":"Autism-open access","volume":"47 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88333611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This case has great significance in that many cases involving children undergoing ABA usually receive other treatments such as speech and occupational therapy alongside or prior to receiving ABA. This trend adds to the psychological stress that families go through and can introduce additional financial strain on families. Due to this on-going trend of multiple therapies for treatment of autism, the occurrence of a child exclusively received ABA is very rare. Part of this issue is because of the increasing number of disciplines and the competition that exists between them. In this study the effectiveness of one to one ABA on a child with autism has been studied for a period of 10 months. \u0000On the bases of GARS questionnaire, autism treatment checklist (ATEC), clinical observations and parental reports the child showed significant improvement in speech, sensory, relationship and cognitive items. During the treatment period, increase parent involvement was both encouraged and increased. Thus, it can be concluded that ABA alongside parental engagement seems to be an effective therapeutic intervention on its own.","PeriodicalId":89745,"journal":{"name":"Autism-open access","volume":"54 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78371135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The core symptoms typically coexist with other medical conditions such as intellectual disability. The involvement of rare copy number variations of varying expressivity and penetrance as risk factors in autism spectrum disorders/intellectual disability phenotypes has been highlighted in large series. The DLGAP2 gene, whose glutamatergic postsynaptic density product may play a role in synaptogenesis and plasticity, has been identified as a novel candidate on the basis of 2 de novo duplications in sporadic non-syndromic autism spectrum disorders/intellectual disability males. It has also been suggested that increased DLGAP2 gene expression may contribute to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Based on these results and after fine phenotyping of another patient with a de novo duplication involving DLGAP2 and presenting with autism spectrum disorder intersecting early-onset schizophrenia spectrum disorder, we gathered an international series of 9 cases (6 families) via international data sharing. Four sporadic males presented with autism spectrum disorders and one had other neurodevelopmental disorders. A family with 4 females displayed intellectual disability (2/4) and specific learning disorder (2/4). This study supports the hypothesis that rare copy number variations encompassing DLGAP2 with incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity could predispose to a broad range of early-onset neurodevelopmental disorders trajectories including autism spectrum disorders/intellectual disability, highlighting the existence of common predisposing factors to these overlapping phenotypic spectrums.","PeriodicalId":89745,"journal":{"name":"Autism-open access","volume":"15 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81295578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This deficit hinders the development of intentional behavior and appropriate problem-solving, leading the child to implement repetitive and stereotyped behaviors and to have difficulties in reciprocal interactions, empathy and in the development of a theory of mind. The objective of this research is to verify the effectiveness of a relationship-based approach on the positive evolution of autistic symptoms. Method: A sample of 80 children with autism spectrum disorder was monitored during the first four years of therapy, through a clinical diagnostic assessment at the time of intake and then in two follow-up. Results: The results showed that through the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule it is possible to assess the socio-relational key elements on which the therapy is based. There was evidence, in fact, of significant improvements after two and four years of therapy, both for children with severe autistic symptoms and for those in autistic spectrum. Conclusions: Socio-relational aspects represent the primary element on which work in therapy with autistic children and can be considered as indicators of a positive evolution and prognosis that will produce improvements even in the cognitive area.","PeriodicalId":89745,"journal":{"name":"Autism-open access","volume":"60 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83921006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method: A questionnaire was given to subjectively identify the type and degree of symptoms associated with visual perception, and if these symptoms disrupted quality of life and learning process. This questionnaire was composed of questions on visual symptoms such as: symptoms linked to near and far visual distortion, binocular visual dysfunction and reading or writing errors experienced by the patient. Results: This patient experienced a significant reduction in visual stress symptoms when wearing color-tinted lenses (p <.0001). With respect to our hypothesis, it appeared that treating the Meares-Irlen Syndrome with the color-tinted lenses, (1) improved the patient’s analysis of visual signals, and (2) reduced sensory hypersensitivity. Conclusion: In this case study, it appeared that certain ASD deficits might have been caused by Meares-Irlen Syndrome, notably a change in the integration of sensory data. We wanted to highlight the lack of Meares-Irlen Syndrome screening, which occurs because of a general unawareness of the syndrome. It is important to find ways to reduce this unawareness by developing the skill sets of different professionals in terms of adult ASD evaluations and consultations, by offering a scientific and holistic approach toward ASD individuals and by not excluding the possibility of an underlying Meares-Irlen Syndrome.","PeriodicalId":89745,"journal":{"name":"Autism-open access","volume":"37 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74611741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
