From assortative mating theory to genetic background, several ethipathogenic hypotheses in ASD deal with the traits of parents.Backgroundseveral ethipathogenic hypotheses in ASD deal with the traits of parents. The objectives of our study were to measure the ADHD and autism spectrum disorder quotients in parents of children diagnosed with ASD comorbid with ADHD and to correlate the measurements for the tests in parents with those in their children. The specific aim was to identify whether any significant correlations exist.MethodFifty-two pairs of parents of children with autism spectrum disorders and ADHD were included in this study, based on informed consent and the ethical committee's approval. The child's diagnosis was established by a specialist in child and adolescent psychiatry, based on the child's clinical symptoms and on specific diagnostic scales, such as the ADOS and ADHD-rating scale. The parents completed an Autism Spectrum Quotient Scale (ASQS) and an adult ADHD scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 and Excel. The correlations were verified using Spearman's non-parametric correlation test.ResultsThere was a strong correlation between the parents’ ADHD scores (r = 0.5, P < 0.001), and a reverse medium correlation between the mother's ADHD score and the child's ADOS score (r = –0.32, P = 0.02). The father's ASQS and ADHD scores correlated between each other (r = 0.31, P = 0.02). There were no correlations between the parents’ and the child's ADHD score, nor between the child's ADOS score and the parents’ ASQS scores.ConclusionOur results suggest that ADHD symptoms in parents of children with autism spectrum disorders comorbid with ADHD might be predictors for the child's prognosis.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

The paper focuses on the analysis of the conditions for inclusion of children with autism spectrum disorders in early and pre-school education by kindergartens teacher. The conditions relate to estimates of theoretical knowledge and attitudes of the educator, assessment of abilities and limitations of children with autism spectrum disorders, self-assessment of the competences of educators for their upbringing and education and assessment of other conditions for the inclusion of children with autism spectrum disorders. The survey results were analyzed by a questionnaire of 68 educators from 6 kindergartens in town of Split. There is a central level of knowledge about inclusion and low self-assessment of educators about their competence in which they are active participants in the inclusion of children with a disorder of the autism spectrum. Attractive factors for the implementation of inclusive education of children with autism spectrum disorder evaluated: inconsistent assurance of nursery assistants, lack of competent educators, and insufficient co-operation with parents of children with autism spectrum disorder. The analysis points to the lack of systematic education of educators for inclusive educational practice. The authors exclude the importance of the knowledge and skills of educators in the area of ​​information communication technology, particularly augmentative and alternative communication.Key words: children with autistic spectrum disorder; information communication technology; competence of the educator; Educational and Teaching Inclusion

В данной статье проанализированы особенности формирования коммуникативных навыков у детей с расстройством аутистического спектра. Анализ литературы, показал, что у большинства у детей с расстройством аутистического спектра коммуникативные нарушения обусловлены нарушениями социального взаимодействия, трудности с подражанием и имитацией движений по образцу, затруднено опознавание эмоциального состояния других людей. Развитие коммуникативных навыков является одним из важнейших направлений коррекционной работы с детьми с расстройствами аутистического спектра. Обучение делать заявления, комментировать события, задавать вопросы для получения информации, выражать и связывать эмоции, а также навыки реагирования, социального поведения и диалога являются предпосылками социализации детей. Учитывая особенности развития коммуникативных навыков у детей с расстройством аутистического спектра, авторами рассмотрены развивающие методики по формированию коммуникативных навыков у детей с расстройством аутистического спектра, применяемые в коррекционной педагогической работе. Представленные методы коррекции коммуникативных навыков у детей с расстройствами аутистического спектра направлены на формирование основных коммуникативных функций, социально-эмоциональных и диалогических навыков. Известно, что сформированные коммуникативные навыки обеспечивают социальную компетентность, диалогические коммуникативные навыки, взаимодействие и сотрудничество со сверстниками и взрослыми. Таким образом, методы формирования вербальных и невербальных коммуникативных функций, социально-эмоциональных умений и навыков диалога используются для коррекции и развития коммуникативных умений у детей с расстройствами аутистического спектра. This article analyzes the features of the formation of communication skills in children with autism spectrum disorder. The analysis of the literature showed that in most children with autism spectrum disorder, communication disorders caused by violations of social interaction, difficulties with imitation and imitation of movements on the model, it is difficult to recognize the emotional state of other people. The development of communication skills is one of the most important areas of correctional work with children with autism spectrum disorders. Learning to make statements, comment on events, ask questions for information express and connect emotions, as well as the skills of reaction, social behavior and dialogue are prerequisites for the socialization of children. Taking into account the peculiarities of the development of communication skills in children with autism spectrum disorder, the authors consider developing methods for the formation of communication skills in children with autism spectrum disorder, used in correctional pedagogical work. The presented methods of correction of communication skills in children with autism spectrum disorders aimed at the formation of basic communication functions, social-emotional and dialogic skills. It known that the formed communication skills provide social competence, dialogic communication skills, interaction and cooperation with peers and adults.

This phenomenological study investigated the relationships between 7 fathers and their sons with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Seven major themes emerged: Shared Activities, Developmental Sensitivity, Emotional Understanding, Fighting the Label, Fatherhood Expectations, Parent Responsibility, and Fatherhood Isolation. Fathers were sensitive to their sons’ emotional needs and developmental milestones. Clinicians can help fathers to develop appropriate relationships with their children that involve shared activities. Clinicians can also assist fathers in coping with isolation and expectations regarding fatherhood, developing desired fatherhood roles, and finding appropriate shared activities with their children.

This study aimed to measure emotional expression and physiological arousal in response to fear in 21 children with autism spectrum disorders (43–75 months) and 45 typically developing children (41–81 months). Expressions of facial and bodily fear and heart rate arousal were simultaneously measured in response to a remote controlled robot (Laboratory Temperament Assessment Battery). Heart rate analyses revealed a main effect of task from baseline to fear ( p < 0.001, [Formula: see text]), no interaction effect and no effect for group. In addition, children with autism spectrum disorder showed intact facial and bodily expressions of fearful affect compared to typically developing children. With regard to the relationship between expression and arousal, the results provided evidence for concordance between expression and arousal in typically developing children ( r = 0.45, n = 45, p < 0.01). For children with autism spectrum disorder, no significant correlation was found ( r = 0.20, n = 21, p = 0.38). A moderation analysis revealed no significant interaction between expression and arousal for children with and without autism spectrum disorder ( F(1, 62) = 1.23, p = 0.27, [Formula: see text]), which might be the result of limited power. The current results give reason to further study concordance between expression and arousal in early autism spectrum disorder. Discordance might significantly impact social functioning and is an important topic in light of both early identification and treatment.

In this work, we develop a mobile application which allows to create digital schedules for children with autism spectrum disorder. These schedules comprise a sorted sequence of tasks or activities which facilitates children to understand and anticipate the upcoming events, thus reducing their stress and frustration. For that, the activities are identified and described with the help of visual supports (pictograms) which can be visualized on the screen of any mobile device. The developed application also allows to gather valuable information about the performance and interests of the children from their interactions with it, helping to refine and define more appropriate routines or support therapies for the children. In this way, the aim of this work is to contribute to improve the lives of people with functional and cognitive diversity, especially children with these disorders, and also their families.
