Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

166
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

128
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Hierarchy of Motor Control01:18

Hierarchy of Motor Control

2.9K
The hierarchy of motor control refers to the different levels of organization and processing involved in controlling movement in the body. These levels range from higher cortical areas involved in planning and decision-making to lower spinal cord reflexes that respond automatically to external stimuli.

Area of Science:

  • Neurodevelopmental disorders
  • Motor control and coordination

Background:

  • Motor features are recognized in autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
  • Current guidelines allow co-occurring diagnosis of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) for autistic individuals with motor deficits.
  • Overlap exists between motor features of ASD and DCD, but underlying mechanisms may differ.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the prevalence and underdiagnosis of motor problems in autism.
  • To advocate for changes in the clinical pipeline for motor issues in autism.
  • To emphasize the need for research and evidence-based practices.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on motor problems in autism and DCD.
  • Analysis of current diagnostic and clinical guidelines.
  • Identification of unmet needs in research and clinical practice.

Main Results:

  • Motor problems are highly prevalent in autistic individuals.
  • These motor issues are frequently underdiagnosed and inadequately managed.
  • There is a significant need for improved clinical recognition, assessment, diagnosis, and intervention strategies.

Conclusions:

  • An evidence-based clinical pipeline for motor problems in autism is urgently required.
  • Development of valid and reliable screening and assessment tools for autistic individuals is essential.
  • Consensus and further research are needed to optimize clinical practice and address motor deficits effectively.
