Multiple autistic theories and strategies are also examined for possible computational cross-overs, providing researchers with a wide range of examples, tools and detailed case studies to work from. Computational Autism will be an essential read to behavioral specialists, researcher's, developers and ...
Creative thinking and collaborative scientific research have advanced our understanding of autism, and we are now beginning to synthesize the data into evidence and theories. Autism: Current Theories and Evidence presents current theories about autism and the evidence that supports them. The goal is to...
This paper argues that understanding developmental disorders requires developing theories and models that explicitly represent the role of general intelligence in the cognitive phenotype of the disorder. In the case of autism it is argued that the low-IQ scores of people with autism are not likely ...
Past theories, including controversies such as the extreme male brain, may have led to under-referral and under-diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder in girls and women. 17 18 19 Signs that a girl may have autism include: 20 Difficulties with social interactions; In autistic girls, differences ...
Environmental factorsand exposures may interact with genetic factors to cause an increased risk of autism in some families. Over time, many different theories have been proposed about what causes autism. Some of these theories are no longer accepted, however; ...
and cognitive domains. As such, it has served as a sort of “natural laboratory” in which to explore a variety of theories of language acquisition. At the same time, it is tempting to overlook a number of the subtleties in performance and ability that are part and parcel of working with...
A1. Of course agree with Sue regarding the double empathy problem (unsurprisingly) and other theories that need looking into like monotropism and ecological theories of self/experience. Other stuff – soundscaping design/tech eh@theblub? Also peer support, social well-being. ...
Theories of autism were then associated both with schizophrenia in adults and with psychoanalytic styles of reasoning. The closure of institutions for 'mental defectives' and the growth in speech therapy services in the 1960s and 1970s encouraged new models for understanding autism in infants and ...
Here, we review the properties of sensory processing in autism and discuss recent computational and neurobiological insights arising from attention to these behaviours. We argue that sensory traits have important implications for the development of animal and computational models of the condition. Finally...
