Telepsychiatry in Children: Diagnostic Evaluation of Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder recognized as a major national cause in 2012. The French Autism Plan 2018-2022 emphasizes early diagnosis and intervention for better cognitive and behavioral outcomes. The COVID-19 pandemic complicates the use of the ADOS-2 diagnostic tool due to mask-wearing and distancing requirements. To …
Speech-in-noise Perception in Autism and Fragile X
The goal of this study is to identify which brain regions are active during speech-in-noise perception, as well as how those regions interact. The investigators are studying brain activation during speech-in-noise in autism and controls as well as individuals with Fragile X Syndrome. The main question[s] it aims to answer …
Portable Sleep Monitors in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
The goal of this study is to evaluate the ability of a portable sleep monitor to detect obstructive sleep apnea in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The main study objectives are to: Evaluate the correlation between the obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI) on a portable sleep monitor and an in-laboratory …
Vagus Nerve Stimulator for Autism and Other Developmental Disorders
The goal of this flexible single-subject design vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) study is to examine the behavioral, cognitive, and biorhythmic effects of VNS in children and adults with autism and developmental disabilities. The main aims are: Pilot the creation of a profile for those who will respond to VNS with …
Targeting Insomnia in School Aged Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and insomnia, and their parent(s) will undergo 4 sessions of behavioral therapy for sleep problems followed by 4 bimonthly booster sessions. Children and their families will be randomly assigned to one of three conditions: cognitive behavioral therapy (in-person), cognitive behavioral therapy (remote), or behavioral …
The Supplementation Therapy in Autism and Response to Treatment Study
In addition to the "core" symptoms of ASD (i.e., impaired communication, impaired reciprocal social interaction and restricted, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behaviors or interests), it is estimated that up to 70% of autistic people present at least one comorbid psychiatric disorder, leading to a deterioration in quality of life, …
Assessing Moral Cognitive Skills in Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorders
In the international literature, it is currently accepted that, relative to neurotypicals, people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) present patterns of moral judgments marked by a minimization of intentionality and a strong condemnation of agents responsible for accidents. However, until now, all studies are based on declarative paradigms, and no …
STEPS: A Virtual Reality-based Intervention for Adults With Autism.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new Virtual Reality-based intervention will be effective in treating social cognitive challenges in adults with autism. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is Virtual Reality-based social cognitive training effective in reducing social cognitive deficits and improving psychosocial …
Safety and Efficacy of tPBM for Epileptiform Activity in Autism
For this study, the proposed intervention will be noninvasively delivered near infra-red (NIR) light - transcranial Photobiomodulation (tPBM) - to the brains of autistic children. This will occur, twice a week, for 10 weeks. The NIR light is delivered to specific brain areas by Cognilum, a wearable device developed by …
Autism Research Project With Non-Invasive Near-Infrared Light Stimulation
The investigators have previously shown that the administration of low-level infrared light is a safe and non-invasive procedure which improves cognition and emotion, as well as enhances brain metabolic activity. Based on previous studies, the investigators hypothesize that this methodology, called low-level light therapy or photobiomodulation, could be used to …
