A number of studies have reported that most individuals with autism have difficulty in attributing mental states. The primary aim of the present study was to compare the ability of children with autism to refer to knowledge states with that of mainstream school children and children with Down's syndrome. The second aim was to investigate the role of verbal mental age in referring to knowledge states. The third aim was to compare the ease with which the children referred to their own mental state and to that of others. The results suggest that some individuals with autism are able to attribute knowledge to themselves and others but that they need to have higher verbal skills than is necessary in normal individuals. The level of language skill predicted the performance of the individuals with autism, but not that of the children in the other groups. There was no good evidence that referring to one's own mental states was easier than referring to another person's, a finding which supports representational theory rather than the simulationist position.

Combining Trending Scan Paths with Arousal to Model Visual Behaviour on the Web: A Case Study of Neurotypical People vs People with Autism
Matthews, Oludamilare; Eraslan, Sukru; Yaneva, Victoria; Davies, Alan; Yesilada, Yeliz; Vigo, Markel; Harper, Simon (2019-01-01)
People with autism often exhibit different visual behaviours from neurotypical users. To explore how these differences are exhibited on the Web, we model visual behaviour by combining pupillary response, which is an unobtrusive measure of physiological arousal, with eye-tracking scan paths that indicate visual attention. We evaluated our approach with two populations: 19 neurotypical users and 19 users with autism. We observe differences in their visual behaviours as, in certain instances, individuals with ...
A MACHINE LEARNING APPROACH FOR DETECTING HIGH-FUNCTIONING AUTISM USING WEB-BASED EYE-TRACKING DATA
Khalaji, Erfan; Yesilada Yilmaz, Yeliz; Eraslan, Sukru; Computer Engineering (2021-7-14)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder that causes social, communication and behavioral challenges with different severity levels. Studies report a considerable increase in ASD prevalence during the past two decades, and clinical psychologists face difficulties identifying individuals with ASD. Researchers have been using different techniques such as eye-tracking to help address ASD diagnosis. A previous study shows that training a logistic regression model with eye-tr...
A family genetic study of autism associated with profound mental retardation
Starr, E; Kazak Berument, Sibel; Pickles, A; Tomlins, M; Bailey, A; Papanikolaou, K; Rutter, M (2001-02-01)
We sought to determine if the family loading for either the broader autism phenotype or for cognitive impairment differed according to whether or not autism was accompanied by severe mental retardation. The sample comprised 47 probands with autism meeting ICD-IO criteria, as assessed by the Autism Diagnostic Interview and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule. Family history interview and findings were compared with those for the higher IQ autism and Down syndrome samples in the Bolton et al. (1994) st...
Disruption of an Evolutionarily Novel Synaptic Expression Pattern in Autism
Liu, Xiling; Han, Dingding; Somel, Mehmet; Jiang, Xi; Hui, Haiyang; Guijarro, Patricia; Zhang, Ning; Mitchell, Amanda; Halene, Tobias; Ely, John J.; Sherwood, Chet C.; Hof, Patrick R.; Qiu, Zilong; Paeaebo, Svante; Akbarian, Schahram; Khaitovich, Philipp (2016-09-01)
Cognitive defects in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) include socialization and communication: key behavioral capacities that separate humans from other species. Here, we analyze gene expression in the prefrontal cortex of 63 autism patients and control individuals, as well as 62 chimpanzees and macaques, from natal to adult age. We show that among all aberrant expression changes seen in ASD brains, a single aberrant expression pattern overrepresented in genes involved synaptic-related pathways is enriched in...
Variable expression of the autism broader phenotype: Findings from extended pedigrees
Pickles, A; Starr, E; Kazak Berument, Sibel; Bolton, P; Papanikolaou, K; Bailey, A; Goodman, R; Rutter, M (2000-05-01)
Factors influencing the rate, form, and severity of phenotypic expression among relatives of autistic probands are examined. Family history data on 3095 first- and second-degree relatives and cousins from 149 families with a child with autism and 36 families with a child with Down syndrome are studied. The results provide further evidence of an increased risk among autism relatives for the broadly defined autism phenotype. Of proband characteristics, severity of autism and obstetric optimality were confirme...
