Autism During Infancy: A Retrospective Video Analysis of Sensory-Motor and Social Behaviors at 9–12 Months of Age

Baranek, Grace T.·1999·Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders

Abstract

This retrospective video study explored the usefulness of sensory-motor measures in addition to social behaviors as early predictors of autism during infancy. Three groups included 11 children with autism, 10 with developmental disabilities, and 11 typically developing children. Home videos were edited to obtain a 10-minute cross-section of situations at 9-12 months for each subjects. Using interval scoring, raters coded several behavioral categories (i.e., Looking, Affect, Response to Name, Anticipatory Postures, Motor/Object Stereotypies, Social Touch, Sensory Modulation). Nine items, in combination, were found to discriminate the three groups with a correct classification rate of 93.75%. These findings indicate that subtle symptoms of autism are present at 9-12 months, and suggest that early assessment procedures need to consider sensory processing/sensory-motor functions in addition to social responses during infancy. Furthermore, prior to a time that they reported autistic symptoms, caregivers used compensatory strategies to increase the saliency of stimuli in order to engage their children more successfully; these strategies may provide a window for earlier diagnosis.

  • Retrospective home video analysis reported that ASD infants orient to visual stimuli less, do not orient towards people or human voices as frequently as TD infants, and orient to name significantly less compared to TD and DD infants.

    “Studies using retrospective home video analysis have also reported that ASD infants orient to visual stimuli less (Baranek, 1999), do not orient towards people or human voices as frequently as TD infants (Maestro et al., 2002), and orient to name significantly less as compared to TD and DD infants (Osterling & Dawson, 1994; Osterling et al., 2002).”

  • Infants who are later diagnosed with ASD have been observed to have less maternal touch stimulation, and failure to orient has been associated with poor attachment.

    “Infants who are later diagnosed with ASD have been observed to have less maternal touch stimulation (Baranek, 1999), and failure to orient has been associated with poor attachment (Reece et al., 2016, Weiss et al., 2000).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
