Promoting Social Interactions Between Students With Autism Spectrum Disorders and Their Peers in Inclusive School Settings (2008, background): “While the social difficulties displayed by individuals with ASD vary from individual to individual, these difficulties may include impaired eye gaze, poor joint attention, few verbal initiations, and failure to develop age-appropriate friendships (Dawson et al., 2004). Additionally, individuals with”
Preference for, and Responsiveness to, People, Dogs and Objects in Children with Autism (2009, background): “Since the first description of the autistic syndrome in 1943 (Kanner 1943), there have been many reports that people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) show a strong aversion or non-response to social stimuli and an attraction to inanimate objects (Dawson et al. 1998; Dawson et al. 2004).”
Evaluating the Effectiveness of Video Instruction on Social and Communication Skills Training for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Review of the Literature (2010, background): “Such individuals have been observed to display relative disinterest in social interactions (Dawson et al., 2004), social attachment, instrumental actions, and experience-sharing relationships (Gutstein & Whitney, 2002).”
Early Behavioral Intervention Is Associated With Normalized Brain Activity in Young Children With Autism (2012, background): “Refer to Dawson et al.5 for a flowchart of the study design.”
A Typical Participation of Visual Cortex during Word Processing in Autism: An fMRI Study of Semantic Decision. (2007, background): “…joint attention – an important predictor of language acquisition (Markus et al., 2000;Morales et al., 2000) – is impaired in ASD (Bruinsma et al., 2004;Dawson et al., 2004;Trepagnier et al., 2002) and there is a strong correlation between joint attention deficits and delays in language…”
Face scanning in chimpanzees and humans: continuity and discontinuity (2010, background): “Indeed, it is known that autistic children, who experience difficulties in forming normal social and emotional relationships with people, pay less attention to the eye regions than children with typical developmental courses (Klin et al. 2002; Pelphrey et al. 2002; Dawson et al. 2004; Dalton et al. ”
The role of intersensory redundancy in early perceptual, cognitive, and social development (2012, background): “…are acquired prior to or without the context of unitary multimodal events, could potentially contribute to the piecemeal processing and social-orienting impairments observed in children with autism (Dawson et al. 1998 , 2004 ; Mundy and Burnette 2005 ; see Bahrick 2010 , for further discussion).”
Emotional competence in children with autism: Diagnostic criteria and empirical evidence (2008, background): “At school age, they respond to emotional expressions with less concern and comforting behaviour and generally share affect less often with others (Corona et al., 1998; Dawson et al., 2004; Kasari et al., 1990; Sigman et al., 1992).”
Caregiver Responsiveness and Social Interaction Behaviors of Young Children With Autism (2008, background): “Caregiver initiations may play an important role in facilitating language and play skills for children with autism, who may experience restricted interest in objects and limited behavioral repertoires as well as challenges in initiating interactions with social partners (Dawson et al., 2004; Leekam ”
Early behavioral intervention, brain plasticity, and the prevention of autism spectrum disorder (2008, background): “One of the earliest indicators of reduced social motivation is a lack of “social orienting” (Dawson et al., 2004; Dawson, Meltzoff, Osterling, Rinaldi, & Brown, 1998).”
Gaze Cueing of Attention (2007, background): “Given the well-established patterns of gaze aversion, it is no surprise to find that joint attention is also impaired in people with autism (e.g., Charman et al., 1997; Dawson et al., 2004; Leekam, López, & Moore, 2000; Roeyers, van Oost, & Bothuyne, 1998).”
Using Perseverative Interests to Elicit Joint Attention Behaviors in Young Children With Autism (2007, background): “For example, the mutual joy and reciprocal interest that occur when a typically developing child initiates joint attention with an adult is thought to provide the intrinsic reinforcement needed for the child to attend to and participate in social exchanges (Dawson et al., 2004).”
