Related Articles Impaired recognition of facial emotions from low-spatial frequencies in Asperger Syndrome. Neuropsychologia. 2008;46(7):1888-97 Authors: Kätsyri J, Saalasti S, Tiippana K, von Wendt L, Sams M The theory of 'weak central coherence' [Happe, F., & Frith, U. (2006). The weak coherence account: Detail-focused cognitive style in autism spectrum disorders. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 36(1), 5-25] implies that persons with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have a perceptual bias for local but not for global stimulus features. The recognition of emotional facial expressions representing various different levels of detail has not been studied previously in ASDs. We analyzed the recognition of four basic emotional facial expressions (anger, disgust, fear and happiness) from low-spatial frequencies (overall global shapes without local features) in adults with an ASD. A group of 20 participants with Asperger Syndrome (AS) was compared to a group of non-autistic age- and sex-matched controls. Emotion recognition was tested from static and dynamic facial expressions whose spatial frequency contents had been manipulated by low-pass filtering at two levels. The two groups recognized emotions similarly from non-filtered faces and from dynamic vs. static facial expressions. In contrast, the participants with AS were less accurate than controls in recognizing facial emotions from very low-spatial frequencies. The result ... Source: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov --- 12 days ago
Related Articles Distinct patterns of grey matter abnormality in high-functioning autism and Asperger's Syndrome. J Child Psychol Psychiatry. 2008 Jul 29; Authors: McAlonan GM, Suckling J, Wong N, Cheung V, Lienenkaemper N, Cheung C, Chua SE Background: Autism exists across a wide spectrum and there is considerable debate as to whether children with Asperger's Syndrome, who have normal language milestones, should be considered to comprise a subgroup distinct other from high-functioning children with autism (HFA), who have a history of delayed language development. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of autism are in disagreement. One possible reason is that the diagnosis of autism takes precedence over Asperger's Syndrome and a distinction in language acquisition is rarely made. We therefore planned to examine a whole brain hypothesis that the patterns of grey matter differences in Asperger's Syndrome and HFA can be distinguished. Methods: We used voxel-based computational morphometry to map grey matter volume differences in 33 children with either Asperger's Syndrome or high-functioning autism compared to 55 typical developing control children balanced for age, IQ, gender, maternal language and ethnicity. Results: Children with HFA had significantly smaller grey matter volumes in subcortical, posterior cingulate and precuneus regions than the Asperger's group. Compared to controls, children with HFA had smaller grey matter volume ... Source: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov --- 12 days ago

Related Articles Social challenges and supports from the perspective of individuals with Asperger Syndrome and other autism spectrum disabilities. Autism. 2008 Mar;12(2):173-90 Authors: Müller E, Schuler A, Yates GB The study describes the perspectives of individuals with Asperger Syndrome and other autism spectrum disabilities (ASDs) regarding social challenges and supports. Eighteen adults with ASDs were individually interviewed. They were asked to describe their experiences navigating their social worlds, and recommend effective social supports and strategies for improving social connectedness. Qualitative analyses of the interview transcripts revealed a number of common experiences including a profound sense of isolation, difficulty initiating social interactions, challenges relating to communication, longing for greater intimacy, desire to contribute to one's community, and effort to develop greater social/self-awareness. Commonly recommended social supports included external supports (e.g. activities based on shared interests, highly structured or scripted social activities, and small groups or dyads); communication supports (e.g. alternative modes of communication, explicit communication, and instruction in interpreting and using social cues); and self-initiated strategies for handling social anxiety (e.g. creative/improvisational outlets, physical activity, spiritual practice/organized religion, and time spent alone).

Sensory overload can trigger a meltdown, often being the straw that broke the camels back. Some sensitivitys will diminish with exposure and the passage of time. Others will remain as severe for life. Does your child insist on wearing the same clothes, hat or shoes all the time? Does your child ask for the same foods for every meal?

So what should parents/carers look for when choosing a school for their Aspergers Syndrome child, or consider in their monitoring of the school environment? Children with Aspergers Syndrome cope best in schools with small class sizes. This option is less a reality these days, when Education systems worldwide are struggling to survive with less funding and increased consumer demand.

The visible symptoms of meltdown are as varied as the Asperger children themselves, but every parent is able to describe their childs meltdown behaviour in intricate detail. Meltdowns can be short lived, or last as long as two hours. They can be as infrequent as once a month (often coinciding with the lunar cycle/full moon) or occur as frequently as 4-6 times a day.
