Undoubtedly, impairments in communication and restricted-repetitive behaviors that define the disorders have a profound impact on social interactions. But can we go beyond the descriptive nature of this definition and objectively measure behavior? In this Research Topic we bring movement to the forefront of autism research, diagnosis, and treatment. We gather researchers across disciplines with the unifying goal of recognizing movement and sensory disturbances as core symptoms of the disorder. We will present evidence that profound movement and sensory differences exist in ASD that can be characterized in a way that is conducive with new behavioral treatments, an advantage over observational inventories. We will show that movement patterns can be used to identify sub-types of autism and to design target treatments tailored to each individual. We will show that, when utilizing motor behavior in conjunction with cognitive tasks, we can unveil the best sensory capabilities of each child as well as their unique predispositions to learn. Many individuals on the spectrum have been perceived as "non-verbal" because they do not speak. Yet, they can communicate through other means. In the absence of spoken language, movement research can open a door into sensorially-driven and gestural forms of communication. Movement can be used to amplify and modulate the sensory signal and help connect individuals with themselves and with their physical and social surroundings. Movement can help us evoke in each child the will to leave “the autistic bubble” and explore the world. We seek to standardize our measurements and definitions of movement abnormalities in autism relative to cognitive and social capabilities both at the individual level and within a social group. We will argue that movement, its sensation and its perception, will play a fundamental role in objectively measuring and standardizing autism: Its diagnosis, its treatment, and the tracking of an individual’s changes over time. We will redefine autism from the motor perspective—in closed loop with cognition—in such a way that cognitive and motor behaviors reshape each other to help evoke social awareness. While psychologists, psychiatrists, and cognitive scientists have provided an important conceptual framework to define the most obvious problems of the autistic behavior—those centered at the social and cognitive issues—we gather here occupational therapists, physical therapists, movement disorders specialists, the fellows in movement science, kinesiology and computational motor control, the pediatricians, and the teachers of children with ASD to focus on important sensory-motor differences that can be used to revise our definitions of ASD and unambiguously define its subtypes. We will move into action to go beyond subjective inferences to objectively understand real, physical behaviors using unprecedentedly fast and formal methods that can complement pencil-and-paper inventories. We will let the autistic body move and teach us what it feels, what it senses, and what it says. In turn, we will teach it to reach out into the world and seek communication. We will let those labeled “high-functioning” and “low-functioning” alike unlock their potential. We will use natural, physical motions to open new channels of sensorial and gestural communication. We will let movement play the transformative role that it can in broadening the spectrum of basic research in ASD to bring out the hidden inner voices of autism.Frontiers research topics.AutismAutismResearchPerceptual-motor processesSensory integration dysfunctionPsychiatric Disorders, IndividualHILCCPsychiatryHILCCHealth & Biological SciencesHILCCoutcome measuressensory motorMovement DisordersautismAutism.AutismResearch.Perceptual-motor processes.Sensory integration dysfunction.Psychiatric Disorders, IndividualPsychiatryHealth & Biological SciencesAnne M Donnellanauth1365491Donnellan Anne M.1943-Torres Elizabeth B.Frontiers Research Foundation,PQKBUkMaJRUBOOK9910137207003321Autism3387434UNINA03932nam 2200637 a 450 991078541610332120230124190059.01-283-05846-497866130584610-226-59618-410.7208/9780226596181(CKB)2670000000066348(EBL)648123(OCoLC)695995021(SSID)ssj0000469368(PQKBManifestationID)12184889(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000469368(PQKBWorkID)10510821(PQKB)10665250(StDuBDS)EDZ0000123049(MiAaPQ)EBC648123(DE-B1597)524156(DE-B1597)9780226596181(Au-PeEL)EBL648123(CaPaEBR)ebr10438640(CaONFJC)MIL305846(EXLCZ)99267000000006634820100409d2010 uy 0engurun#---|uu|utxtccrFrom man to ape[electronic resource] Darwinism in Argentina, 1870-1920 /Adriana Novoa and Alex LevineChicago ;London University of Chicago Press20101 online resource (294 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-226-59616-8 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front matter --Contents --Acknowledgments --Introduction --Chapter 1.

But how did Darwin's theories fare in other regions of the world? Adriana Novoa and Alex Levine offer here a history and interpretation of the reception of Darwinism in Argentina, illuminating the ways culture shapes scientific enterprise. In order to explore how Argentina's particular interests, ambitions, political anxieties, and prejudices shaped scientific research, From Man to Ape focuses on Darwin's use of analogies. Both analogy and metaphor are culturally situated, and by studying scientific activity at Europe's geographical and cultural periphery, Novoa and Levine show that familiar analogies assume unfamiliar and sometimes startling guises in Argentina. The transformation of these analogies in the Argentine context led science-as well as the interaction between science, popular culture, and public policy-in surprising directions. In diverging from European models, Argentine Darwinism reveals a great deal about both Darwinism and science in general. Novel in its approach and its subject, From Man to Ape reveals a new way of understanding Latin American science and its impact on the scientific communities of Europe and North America.Evolution (Biology)ArgentinaHistoryScienceArgentinaHistorydarwin, science, scientist, famous, well known, darwinian, darwinism, selection, nature, natural, evolution, evolutionary, theory, argentina, south america, country, 1800s, 1900s, 19th, 20th, century, europe, culture, cultural, prejudice, change, perception, analogies, analogy, metaphor, language, speech, reading, writing, geography, policy.Evolution (Biology)History.ScienceHistory.576.8/20982Novoa Adriana1963-1470940Levine Alex1966-1470939MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785416103321From man to ape3750604UNINA
