“…In this way their absence can be related to the difficulties of metapresentation and Theory of Mind, frequently associated to the features of the autistic spectrum (1,4,12). It also became evident the huge individuals variations mentioned at literature for many decades (11,14,(19)(20)23).…”

Backgroud: language and communication disorders are proposed as one of the three fundamental criteria for the description or diagnosis of pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), along with social disabilities and a narrow focus of interest. This way, the determination of simple procedures that can be used by health and education professionals to identify the persons that need specialized services is essential. The Autistic Behavior Checklist (ABC) is being used in several studies because it allows simple application and may be based on filmed behavior samples, interviews with parents or therapists. Its' results, on the other side, had been tested for a few decades and been shown reliable. Aim: the general aim of this study is to verify the possibility that the assessment of the relation between communicative profile and the ABC score contributes to the diagnostic process of persons with disorders of the autistic spectrum. Method: subjects were 117 children and adolescents with ages between 2 and 16 years attending language therapy. Results: were statistically analyzed and indicated that there are negative correlations between the ABC scores and communicative interaction and complexity. The small amount of correlations between language sub-scale and the other data suggest that there is a dissociation of the description provided by the ABC and the criteria proposed by the DSM-IV and the ICD-10 to the diagnosis of autism. Conclusion: the search for objective criteria to determine subgroups of the autistic spectrum remains a challenge. Key Words: Child; Language; Autistic Disorder. ResumoTema: as alterações de comunicação e linguagem têm sido propostas como um dos três elementos fundamentais para a caracterização e o diagnóstico dos distúrbios globais do desenvolvimento (DGD). A Autistic Behavior Checklist (ABC) tem sido utilizada em diversas pesquisas, pois possibilita uma aplicação simples, que pode ser realizada a partir de amostras filmadas de comportamento, entrevistas com pais ou terapeutas, e pode ser utilizada por profissionais das áreas da saúde e da educação. Objetivo: a proposta deste estudo envolve a verificação das correlações entre o perfil funcional da comunicação e as diferentes pontuações na ABC. O objetivo geral desta pesquisa é identificar a possibilidade de contribuição da avaliação fonoaudiológica de crianças e adolescentes incluídos no espectro autístico a partir da verificação de relações entre seu desempenho comunicativo e a pontuação obtida na ABC. Método: foram sujeitos desta pesquisa 117 crianças e adolescentes, entre 2 e 16 anos de idade, já atendidos ou em atendimento no Laboratório de Investigação Fonoaudiológica em Distúrbios Psiquiátricos da Infância do Curso de Fonoaudiologia da Faculdade de Medicina da USP. Resultados: indicaram a existência de correlações negativas entre a pontuação na ABC e a interatividade e complexidade da comunicação. As poucas correlações entre a sub-escala de linguagem e os outros dados sugerem a dissociação entre a descrição propiciada pela ABC e os...

“…A large part of the researches involved on the description of the different clinical pictures that are part of the autistic spectrum emphasizes the need of multidisciplinary perspectives for diagnosis (9). The search for better diagnostic criteria has generated several studies (10)(11)(12)(13)(14).…”

“…Paul et al (2004) found that children with autism had lower Socialization and Communication skills than children with PDD-NOS. Gillham et al (2000) reported deficits in Daily Living Skills as well as Socialization and Communication (after controlling for differences in MA) suggesting that adaptive behaviour was generally lower in autism versus PDD-NOS.…”

Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS) data were examined in a large sample of young children with ASD (n = 290) of varying cognitive levels. IQ was higher than VABS composite score among high functioning children only; the opposite pattern was found in lower IQ subgroups. Profile analysis of VABS domains across cognitive levels demonstrated different profiles in different subgroups. A characteristic "autism profile" was found for most subgroups for Age Equivalents but not Standard Scores. In a small set of matched pairs (n = 28) of children with autism versus MR, significantly different profiles were found, with Socialization and Communication lower in autism, but no differences were found between matched pairs of children with autism and PDD-NOS (n = 48). Correlations between age, cognitive level, and adaptive level were also reported, and regression analyses indicated that autism severity accounts for a modest amount of unique variance in Socialization and Daily Living Skills.

“…Vineland adaptive behavior rating scale 2nd edition Parent-reported measurement of change in social and communication skill level was obtained through parent-completed Vineland Adaptive Behavior Rating Scale, 2nd Edition [21,22]. Furthermore, to better understand the change in adaptive skills in children with autism spectrum disorder, researchers [23,24] have suggested examining not only the total scores of the domains and subdomains but also examining the scores of item subsets that measure specific adaptive skills. These item subsets are provided directly on the Vineland-II protocol as well as in the User's Manual [22] and were used in this study to gain a specific insight into treatment impact on social and communication skills.…”

This pilot study was designed to explore the potential impact of participation in the Hunter Heartbeat Method, a drama-based social skills intervention, on the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A sample of 10 children with ASD participated in this study. Children were assessed at three time-points: before the start of the intervention (T1), after 14 weeks of participation (T2) and after 42 weeks of participation (T3). Findings from this pilot study indicated that the Hunter Heartbeat Method (HHM) is an intervention that shows promise in impacting social, communication and facial emotion recognition deficits associated with ASD. We also identified the individual characteristics of the participants who were responders and non-responders to the HHM intervention. The results of these findings are discussed.
