Book Synopsis The Broader Autism Phenotype and Marital Satisfaction Among Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders by : Erin Scollin Skiffer
Download or read book The Broader Autism Phenotype and Marital Satisfaction Among Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders written by Erin Scollin Skiffer and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study aimed to investigate the factors contributing to high marital maladjustment among parents of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This population of parents experience greater levels of stress and child problem behaviors than parents of neurotypical children. However, these two factors alone cannot predict 100% of the variance in marital satisfaction ratings among parents of children with ASD. Additionally, recent research suggests that a subgroup of these parents is also more likely to display elevated autistic-like traits, a phenomenon referred to as the broader autism phenotype (BAP). The nature of the deficits in autism spectrum disorders and the findings from the BAP research have important implications for dyadic functioning. The present study endeavored to explore if and how autistic-like symptoms in parents may be impacting each partner's marital satisfaction. Eight participants completed the online survey that included measures of autistic symptoms, marital adjustment, parent stress, and child problem behaviors. Due to a small sample, this study was unable to address the original research questions. Ways to improve the present study and areas for continued study are discussed.

Book Synopsis A Time for Metabolism and Hormones by : Paolo Sassone-Corsi
Download or read book A Time for Metabolism and Hormones written by Paolo Sassone-Corsi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-04 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen spectacular advances in the field of circadian biology. These have attracted the interest of researchers in many fields, including endocrinology, neurosciences, cancer, and behavior. By integrating a circadian view within the fields of endocrinology and metabolism, researchers will be able to reveal many, yet-unsuspected aspects of how organisms cope with changes in the environment and subsequent control of homeostasis. This field is opening new avenues in our understanding of metabolism and endocrinology. A panel of the most distinguished investigators in the field gathered together to discuss the present state and the future of the field. The editors trust that this volume will be of use to those colleagues who will be picking up the challenge to unravel how the circadian clock can be targeted for the future development of specific pharmacological strategies toward a number of pathologies.

Download or read book My Autism Book written by Tamar Levi and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2013-12-21 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Autism Book is a beautifully illustrated picture book that helps parents to explain an autism diagnosis to their child in a sensitive, positive and accurate way. When a child is diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), parents often feel overwhelmed and uncertain about how to communicate the diagnosis to their child. This book is designed to be read with the child as a simple introduction to their diagnosis. Written by a doctor and a children's author, the book is tailored precisely to the needs and experiences of the child with ASD aged 5-9. It explains what an autism diagnosis means and encourages an exploration of the child's likely strengths and differences using clear language that speaks directly to the child. The colourful pictures throughout show how the world looks from the child's perspective and the book ends with a summary checklist to encourage the child to record and discuss how autism affects them.
Book Synopsis The Research Basis for Autism Intervention by : Eric Schopler
Download or read book The Research Basis for Autism Intervention written by Eric Schopler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the pastPresident ofthe Israel Society forAutism, it gives me great pleasure to c- gratulate Professor Schopler and his colleagues on the publication of their new book concerning the relationship between scientific research and treatment. When we in Israel began our specifically structured education program for young children with autism, our work was based on slim to scarceknow-how andinformation, and with no experience whatsoever. Whatever information we could gather was mostly from psychological educational centers in the U.S. One of the most important and significant connections was established between the TEACCH program of North Carolina, led and conducted by the two important scholars, Professor Eric Schopler and Professor Lee Marcus, and our Israel Society for Autism. During our many encounters, seminars, and conferences, we profited enormously from all their accumulated expertise and scientific research, while perhaps it was also an important experience for them to see how a young society with very limited means was eventually shaping its educational program and arriving at some excellent results. We, ofcourse, have the highest esteem for Governor Hunt who has been following this program with so much attention and support, and we still remember his visit to Israel with distinguished representatives of the TEACCH Program. I wish the new book every success. I know it will be an enormous contribution to all those who must cope with a difficult and painful issue—autism—for whom there is no end to the need for research and continuously improving methods of care and education.
Book Synopsis Family Experiences in the Context of Broad Autism Phenotype by : Jennifer M. Putney

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little research has examined the adaptive processes and co-parenting behaviors in the context of broad autism phenotype (BAP). The overarching goal of my dissertation research was to enhance the understanding of how BAP is associated with parent-couple and co-parenting relationship quality. This research draws from a sample of families of a child with ASD (N = 189) and a comparison group of families (N = 185) parenting typically developing children (without neurodevelopmental disabilities). The first study examined the association of actor and partner effects of BAP characteristics (aloofness, pragmatic language, and rigidity) for mothers and fathers on positive and negative dyadic coping behaviors. Results suggested that BAP characteristics were present across parenting groups with parents in the ASD group reporting higher BAP characteristics than parents in the comparison group. Findings indicated that actor rigidity (one's own) was a significant predictor of lower levels of positive dyadic coping and higher levels of negative dyadic coping. Actor aloofness was also significantly associated with lower levels of positive dyadic coping. The second examined the role of BAP on the co-parenting relationship and children's co-occurring emotional and behavioral problems among parents of children with ASD. Findings suggested that BAP is associated with lower levels of co-parenting relationship quality through actor and partner pathways. For fathers, co-parenting relationship quality was a partial mediator of parental BAP on children's co-occurring emotional and behavioral problems. Study implications and future directions are discussed.Keywords: broad autism phenotype, autism, co-parenting relationship quality, dyadic coping
Book Synopsis Autism Spectrum Disorders by : Andreas M. Grabrucker
Download or read book Autism Spectrum Disorders written by Andreas M. Grabrucker and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autism spectrum disorders are developmental disorders. Individuals with autism spectrum disorders develop differently. These differences are usually present in social interaction, communication, and sensory processing, and become visible through a wide variety of behavioral responses that differ from individuals without autism spectrum disorders. Despite significant research efforts, the exact causes of autism spectrum disorders remain poorly understood; however, researchers have gained extensive insights into possible pathomechanisms, even at the molecular level of cells. Many diagnostic criteria have been developed, adapted, and improved. The eight chapters in this book highlight the current state-of-the-art in many areas of autism spectrum disorders. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the epidemiology of autism spectrum disorders and the current knowledge of the underlying pathogenic mechanisms. Chapter 2 summarizes the diagnostic criteria and procedures and highlights present and upcoming therapeutic strategies. Chapter 3 reviews the adverse events and trauma in people with autism spectrum disorders. Chapters 4 and 5 focus on atypical sensory processing, and Chapter 6 discusses the genetic overlap of autism spectrum disorders with other neuropsychiatric disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, and schizophrenia. Chapter 7 focuses on the contribution of abnormalities in mitochondria, and chapter 8 discusses gut-brain interactions and a potential role for microbiota in autism spectrum disorders. This book is aimed primarily at clinicians and scientists, but many areas will also be of interest to the layperson.

Book Synopsis Defining Autism by : Emily L. Casanova
Download or read book Defining Autism written by Emily L. Casanova and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a summary of the current state of knowledge in autism research, Defining Autism looks at the different genetic, neurological and environmental causes of, and contributory factors to autism. It takes a wide-ranging view of developmental and genetic factors, and considers autism's relationship with other conditions such as epilepsy. Shedding light on the vast number of autism-related syndromes which are all too often denied adequate attention, it shows how, whilst autism refers to a single syndrome, it can be understood as many different conditions, with the common factors being biological, rather than behavioral.

Book Synopsis Autism Spectrum Disorders by : David Amaral
Download or read book Autism Spectrum Disorders written by David Amaral and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 1445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autism is an emerging area of basic and clinical research, and has only recently been recognized as a major topic in biomedical research. Approximately 1 in 150 children are diagnosed as autistic, so it is also an intense growth area in behavioral and educational treatments. Financial resources have begun to be raised for more comprehensive research and an increasing number of scientists are becoming involved in autism research. In many respects, autism has become a model for conducting translational research on a psychiatric disorder. This text provides a comprehensive summary of all current knowledge related to the behavioral, experiential, and biomedical features of the autism spectrum disorders including major behavioral and cognitive syndromology, common co-morbid conditions, neuropathology, neuroimmunology, and other neurological correlates such as seizures, allergy and immunology, gastroenterology, infectious disease, and epidemiology. Edited by three leading researchers, this volume contains over 80 chapters and nine shorter commentaries by thought leaders in the field, making the book a virtual "who's who" of autism research. This carefully developed book is a comprehensive and authoritative reference for what we know in this area as well as a guidepost for the next several years in all areas of autism research.

Book Synopsis Understanding Parent Experiences and Supporting Autistic Children in the K-12 School System by : Yarbrough, Jillian
Download or read book Understanding Parent Experiences and Supporting Autistic Children in the K-12 School System written by Yarbrough, Jillian and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-12-17 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parenting and educating a child with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a unique experience for many reasons. Too often, the K-12 school system overlooks the needs of children with ASDs or educators find themselves unprepared to provide a learning environment that fulfills these needs. Parents of children with ASDs must also stay informed on autism support services, school system practices, developmental pediatrics, and more in order to be an active voice in how their children are supported within the school system. Understanding Parent Experiences and Supporting Autistic Children in the K-12 School System shares the experiences of children with ASDs in order to develop more supportive practices for these children as they navigate the K-12 system. It also offers best practices, strategies, and information for educators to provide a sufficient learning environment to support children with ASDs within their classrooms. Covering topics such as assistive tools, inclusive practices, and parent experiences, it is an ideal resource for K-12 administration and faculty, educators, pre-service teachers, policymakers, parents, researchers, and academicians.
