Sociability and preference for social novelty in five inbred strains: an approach to assess autistic‐like behavior in mice

“…2000b). From an early age, autistic children show low levels of eye contact and affective responses, less orientation toward others and language deficits, with a concomitant paucity of speech and social communication (for review, see Tager‐Flusberg et al . 2001).…”

“…For example, some autistic patients demonstrate aberrant motor responses, including repeated hand flapping, jumping and other repetitive and stereotyped behaviors (Bodfish et al . 2000; Tager‐Flusberg et al . 2001).…”

Expression of social behaviors of C57BL/6J versus BTBR inbred mouse strains in the visible burrow system

“…The lack of social approach and maintenance of reciprocal social relationships is a primary diagnostic indicator of ASD [2,42,43]. From an early age, autistic children spend less time in close proximity to other children and are less likely to focus attention on another child, in comparison to typically developing children [14,24].…”

The Impact of Play on Social Skills of Young Children with ASD in Educational Contexts: A Systematic Review

“…Despite heterogeneity in the experiences and characteristics of individuals with ASD, challenges in social communication are experienced by all children across the spectrum (Anderson et al, 2014;APA, 2013;Balasubramanian et al, 2019;Tager-Flusberg et al, 2001) throughout all stages of life (Plimley et al, 2007;Prizant & Fields-Meyer, 2019;Tomaino et al, 2014;Volkmar et al, 2014) in areas including social-emotional reciprocity and non-verbal communication and in the development and understanding of relationships (APA, 2013). Differences are apparent from early infancy and include difficulties initiating (Franchini et al, 2018;Mundy et al, 2016;Sasson & Touchstone, 2014) and responding to joint attention (Chawarska et al, 2016;Sullivan et al, 2007) as well as differences in understanding non-verbal communication including eye contact (Muzammal & Jones, 2017;Zwaigenbaum et al, 2013), imitation (Ornstein-Davis & Carter, 2014;Rogers & Williams, 2006), body language, gestures and facial expression (Chawarska et al, 2014;Wetherby, 2006;Wetherby et al, 2004).…”
