This chapter will give an overview of the different aspects of sexuality and intimacy in people with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who have no intellectual disability. The most important aspects of autism spectrum disorder will be explained. Then we will discuss normal and problematic aspects ...
Importantly, autism spectrum disorder is not the same thing as intellectual development disorder (intellectual disability), although these two conditions are often comorbid. The DSM-5 specifies that the symptoms of autism spectrum disorder are not caused or explained by intellectual development disorder....
An autism spectrum disorder is any of a group of neurobiological disorders that are characterized by deficits in social interaction and communication and by atypical behaviors, interests, and activities.
autism spectrum disorder (ASD) “refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication.”
This systematic review and meta-analysis examines the association between screen time and autism spectrum disorder.
Previous studies have found that Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) children scored lower during a Go/No-Go task and faced difficulty focusing their gaze on the speaker’s face during a conversation. To date, however, there has not been an adequate study examining children’s response and gaze dur...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social communication deficits and repetitive/restricted behaviors. Although gene-environment interactions may explain the heterogeneous etiology of ASD, it is still largely unknown how the gene-environment interaction affects behavi...
Evidence has indicated that some non-inherited factors such as exposure to environmental pollutants are associated with neurodevelopment disorders like autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Studies report that endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), including polychlorinated biphenyls, organochlorine pesticides, perfluor...
10. Given such integrative roles of macroscopic brain dynamics in our cognitive and neural information processing, it is reasonable to assume that the aberrance of large-scale neural dynamics is a key biological mechanism underlying autism spectrum disorder (ASD)10,11, which is often explained as ...
Therefore, the deactivation of the right angular gyrus in individuals with autism might be explained as a consequence of a difficulty in overcoming prepotent response tendencies either to select appropriate response patterns or to stop the execution of inappropriate responses during task performance. A ...
