“…As noted, other cohorts of vulnerable children may present with opportunities for treatments intended to support early social and communication development, including those with other neurogenetic etiologies such as children with Fragile X and Williams syndrome, or children born in adverse conditions such as poverty: in all of these cases, there is a higher than expected prevalence of autism-related social and communication disabilities (Boat & Wu, 2015; Crespi & Procyshyn, 2017; McCary & Roberts, 2013). Because the unit for research of behavior–brain social and communicative development is the child–caregiver relationship, experience, and environment, there should be rigorous quantification of environmental features influencing this unit (Berman et al, 2019), particularly sociodemographic variables (Bornstein et al, 2013) and adverse childhood experiences (Beauchaine & Cicchetti, 2019; Beauchaine et al, 2018; Shonkoff & Bales, 2011)…”

The national priority to advance early detection and intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has not reduced the late age of ASD diagnosis in the US over several consecutive Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) surveillance cohorts, with traditionally under-served populations accessing diagnosis later still. In this review, we explore a potential perceptual barrier to this enterprise which views ASD in terms that are contradicted by current science, and which may have its origins in the current definition of the condition and in its historical associations. To address this perceptual barrier, we propose a re-definition of ASD in early brain development terms, with a view to revisit the world of opportunities afforded by current science to optimize children's outcomes despite the risks that they are born with. This view is presented here to counter outdated notions that potentially devastating disability is determined the moment a child is born, and that these burdens are inevitable, with opportunities for improvement being constrained to only alleviation of symptoms or limited improvements in adaptive skills. The impetus for this piece is the concern that such views of complex neurodevelopmental conditions, such as ASD, can become self-fulfilling science and policy, in ways that are diametrically opposed to what we currently know, and are learning every day, of how genetic risk becomes, or not, instantiated as lifetime disabilities.

“…Key to the central idea of the NIM are prefrontal vagal pathways inhibiting activity of subcortical regions, in particular the amygdala. As illustrated in Figure 1, these subcortical and prefrontal brain regions are also critically implicated in emotion regulation (for a review and summary see Beauchaine & Cicchetti, 2019). The following will focus on these regions of interest (ROI).…”

The Neurovisceral Integration Model (NIM) is one of the most influential psychophysiological models addressing the interplay between the autonomic (ANS) and central nervous system (CNS). In their groundbreaking conceptual work, integrating autonomic, attentional, and affective systems into a functional and structural network, Thayer & Lane laid the foundation for empirical research in the past two decades. The present paper provides a principal outline aiming to reflect and further elaborate on the model from a dynamic developmental perspective. The central question at hand is, how does neurovisceral integration develop (early in life)? By reviewing the existing evidence, it is illustrated that key components of the model, both, on a physiological and psychological level, undergo extensive change early in the course of life. This sensitive period of human development seems key for our understanding of the integrated action of the ANS and CNS in emotion across the lifespan. Early life events may interfere with the fine-tuned interplay of this shared neural circuitry resulting in long-term dysfunction and psychiatric illness. In the absence of longitudinal data covering the entire co-development of the ANS and CNSfrom early childhood to adolescence into early adulthood, it is suggested, that vagal activity and its normative increase in adolescence is a key premise for normative brain development on a structural and functional level, subsequent psychological functioning and adaptive regulation. Implications from this dynamic perspective and suggestions for future research in the field of developmental psychophysiology are discussed.

“…The challenges and trade-offs to this are most evident in relation to assessment of clinically-salient constructs. Guided by Principle 1, we have suggested a balanced approach requires moving beyond traditional syndrome-specific, symptom-based clinically focused assessment strategies to incorporate a transdiagnostic dimensional indicator of neurodevelopmental vulnerability to mental health problems risk, i.e., irritability, measurable from birth, characterizes the full normal:abnormal spectrum of expression, robustly linked to exposure and is an efficient marker of self-regulation which subserves long-term (mal) adaptation (Beauchaine & Cicchetti, 2019 ; Wakschlag et al, 2018 ; Wakschlag et al, 2019 ).…”
