Biomarker of Children With Familial Autoimmune History

AutismChildren

The purpose of this study is to identify biomarkers in this subset of autism patients, design a protein based assay system for screening serum for these biomarkers and confirm that these serum antibodies are still present at one year's time.

Clinical Evaluation of Integrative Practices Units Infant and Child Care for Unit Children With...

Autism

The research project is part of the evaluation of the therapeutic approaches in mental health. Its framework infant and juvenile units that have developed "integrative devices," taking into account recent advances in knowledge and providing care, education and pedagogical approach. The evolution of autistic children receiving these integrative devices is studied to determine the validity of the devices mentioned. The methodology is based on case studies in a natural situation. Clinicians are committed to network among themselves and with researchers in a multicenter study.

Design Of WELL Being Monitoring Systems, Application in Autism

Autistic Disorder

The worldwide prevalence of autism is constantly increasing. People with autisms have difficulties in communication and social interaction resulting from atypical perceptual and information processing, leading to the accumulation of anxiety. Extreme overloading experienced internally may not be visible externally. Identifying stressful situations at an early stage may avoid socially problematic behavior from occurring, such as self-injurious behavior. Activation of the autonomous nervous system (ANS) is involved in the response to anxiety, which can be measured through heart rate variability and skin conductance with the use of a portable device, non-intrusively and pain-free. Thus, developing innovative analysis of signal perception and reaction is necessary, mainly for the non-communicative individuals with autism.

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) Characterization Study

Autism Spectrum Disorders

The overarching aim of the study is to characterize children and adults with ASDs, and compare them with age-matched controls in relation to their functioning in family, academic, employment, and social spheres. Subjects will be comprehensively assessed in multiple non-overlapping domains of functioning, using psychiatric, cognitive, and psychosocial instruments.

Identification of Characteristics Associated With Symptom Remission in Autism

Autism Spectrum DisordersAutism

Autism is defined as a lifelong pervasive developmental disability, as such, symptom recovery is considered rare. Reports by Lovaas and McEachin, Smith & Lovaas and more recently by Cohen, Amerine-Dickens, & Smith, Smith Groen et al. and Sutera Pandey et al suggest that intensive behavioral intervention programs during preschool years may result in improvement to the point where some children no longer meet criteria for autism by the time they reach school age. Similarly, there are a large number of anecdotal reports of children with autism who, following intensive biomedical intervention (e.g., gluten/casein free diets, vitamin supplements, chelation), are indistinguishable from their typically developing peers. The goal of the current research is to characterize the behavioral and biological profiles of children with autism who show significant symptom reduction such that they no longer meet criteria for autism (Remitted Autism [REM-AUT]) and to contrast them with a group of children who continue to meet criteria for autism (AUT) and to typically developing (TD) group of children. Examining whether neurobiological and neurobehavioral symptoms commonly reported in autism are as frequent and severe in children who have responded to treatment is an important first step in determining what factors may contribute to symptom remission in autism. In addition, understanding how children with remitted autism compare to typically developing children will help us better understand whether symptom improvement is through remediation (normalization of function) or compensation (achieving the same behavioral/adaptive outcome but through an alternative process).

Early Assessment of Autism Through Smart Tablet Gameplay

Autism Spectrum DisorderOther Neurodevelopmental Disorder

The primary aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of an iPad application (Play.Care assessment) with the current clinical "gold standard" diagnosis for diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in children. Recent evidence has suggested that movement abnormalities are one of the early markers of ASD. However, current clinical diagnostic assessments fail to take this into account. Further, the current "gold standard" clinical tests take a number of hours to administer, require extensive clinical training and are subject to a certain level of subjectivity. Alternatively, by assessing a child's interaction with an iPad screen as they play, an objective measurement of movement can be obtained, which can aid in the diagnostic process. This study aims to recruit a total of 760 children (Typically Developing (TD), Other Neurodevelopmental Disorders (OND) and ASD groups) to assess the diagnostic accuracy of tablet game play in ASD. Children who have been diagnosed with ASD will perform the Play.Care assessment to assess if the tablet result matches their clinical diagnosis. Results from the clinical assessment and Play.Care assessment will then be compared to assess the sensitivity (the proportion of participants with ASD who test positive for ASD as a result of the Play.Care assessment) and specificity (the proportion of participants without ASD who test negatively for ASD as a result of the Play.Care assessment assessment) of the Play.Care assessment.

Pilot Evaluation of a New Computerized Test for Pragmatic Inferences in Children With ASD

Autism Spectrum Disorder

This study aims to evaluate the relevance of a new computerized test for pragmatic inferences (TIPi) in children aged 8 to 12 YO, presenting a typical development, autism spectrum disorders or another neurodevelopmental condition.

Autism Biomarker Consortium for Clinical Trials (ABC-CT): Follow-up Study

Autism Spectrum Disorder

This is a multicenter longitudinal follow-up study to the main study of an a registered already (NCT# ). The Follow-up Study (T4) will assess the Main Study cohort for an additional longitudinal time point approximately 2-5 years after the initial study. Children participating in the Follow-up Study will be approximately 8-16 years old. The aims of the main study is to identify, develop and validate a set of measures that can be used as stratification biomarkers and/or sensitive and reliable objective measures of social impairment in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) that could serve as markers of long term clinical outcome.
