“…Research has shown significant differences across a variety of social communication deficits and restricted and repetitive behaviors when comparing individuals with ASD and typically developing individuals. Younger children with ASD often fail to naturally develop and demonstrate joint attention, an early form of social interaction typically observed between a parent and toddler [3,4]. Continued difficulties as the child develops are observed in reduced number of social initiations and reciprocity in conversation and sustained conversation skills, compared to typically developing school aged children [5,6].…”

While the presentation of autism-related symptoms is variable across individuals with ASD, there is growing evidence that many of these symptoms may be further complicated or exacerbated by comorbid symptoms of psychopathology. Some individuals with ASD may also have difficulty reflecting and reporting on their own behavioral and emotional symptoms, which can interfere with diagnosis and treatment. The current study compared self-and other-ratings of the behavior of 47 young adults with ASD in the home environment, to identify areas of rater agreement and discrepancy across symptoms of both ASD and general pathology. For ASD symptoms, nominated reporters rated the participant's behavior as significantly more impaired regarding social communication symptoms, but no significant difference was found for restricted and repetitive behavior. For symptoms of psychopathology, only attention problems, depression problems, avoidant personality problems, and total problems were reported by others as significantly higher when compared to self-report. While this provides increased confidence for assessing most comorbid symptoms of psychopathology via one reporter, results suggest obtaining collateral reports for ASD symptoms may be important for comprehensive assessment. The results from this study may inform the future of the clinical field regarding the use of a more efficient assessment of individuals with ASD's behavior and comorbid psychopathology.

“…The request functions (on information and action) direct the child's behavior to the adult's demand and show the regulatory character of communication (BernardOptiz, 1982;Tjus et al, 2001). The use of showingoff function reveals that frequently the patients did not share the adult's attention focus, this way evidencing the sharing inability (Jones and Carr, 2004).…”

“…This ability, precociously acquired in normal development, presupposes that the child is willing to communicate his/her desire to the other through eye-gaze of the use of gestures (Jones and Carr, 2004). Affective exchanges occurring during adult-child interaction related to other referent (object or event) function as the basis to verbal communication which, by its turn, contributes to the improvement of the child's socialcognitive abilities (Bosa e Callias, 2000).…”

TEMA: funções comunicativas utilizadas por terapeutas e pacientes. OBJETIVO: analisar o uso de funções comunicativas por terapeutas de pacientes do espectro autístico. MÉTODO: Foram analisadas as funções comunicativas utilizadas por seis terapeutas em interação com seis pacientes cada, constituindo um corpo de análise de 36 perfis de funções comunicativas por díade terapeuta-paciente. Todas as terapeutas faziam parte do Programa de Aprimoramento em Distúrbios Psiquiátricos da Infância, seus pacientes pertenciam ao espectro autístico. Para a coleta dos dados foram utilizadas as transcrições da gravação de uma sessão de terapia e analisadas segundo Fernandes, (2000). As funções comunicativas foram divididas de duas formas: mais e menos interpessoais e instrumental, regulatória, interacional, pessoal, heurística e imaginativa . RESULTADOS: a comparação entre as funções usadas por terapeutas e paciente revelou que houve diferença estatisticamente significante no uso das funções: pedido de rotina social, de informação e de ação, comentário, reconhecimento do outro, exclamativa, não focalizada, exploratória, exibição, jogo e reativa. Quanto à divisão em funções mais e menos interpessoais ou entre funções instrumental, regulatória, interacional, pessoal, heurística e imaginativa houve diferença estatisticamente significante no uso das funções mais e menos interpessoais e das funções regulatória, interacional, pessoal e heurística. CONCLUSÃO: o perfil funcional da comunicação das terapeutas é bastante distinto do de seus pacientes quando comparamos cada uma das funções e quando analisamos os agrupamentos de funções (mais e menos interpessoais e instrumental, regulatória, interacional, pessoal, heurística e imaginativa). As terapeutas utilizam funções para preencher o espaço comunicativo e realizar pedidos, resultado que concorda com estudos anteriores.

Autism entails serious deficiencies in communication and social behaviors. Individuals with autism, even those who have received intensive language intervention, are often viewed as lacking spontaneous language. In addition, some children with autism lack the ability of spontaneously seeking to share enjoyment, interests, or achievements with other people (e.g., a lack of showing, bringing, or pointing out objects of interest to other people).<br /> The aim of the study was to use ABA teaching techniques such as script and script fading procedure and activity schedule to teach three-year-old girl with autism spontaneous social interaction and shape joint attention skills. The result shows that ABA techniques were very effective in teaching many verbal skills such as answering questions, making requests, initiating conversation and asking question. Comparison made after implemented teaching procedure shows her initiating of joint attention skill (IJA) is at the appropriate level for her age.
