Abstract
Il
existe des preuves préliminaires que les frères et sœurs infantiles des
enfants atteints d'un trouble du spectre autistique (ASD) ont un schéma
de cries atypique, caractérisé par une fréquence fondamentale plus
élevée et une dysphonation accrue. Cette
étude prospective a recueilli plusieurs échantillons pleurs de frères
et sœurs de 12 mois d'enfants atteints de TSA (n = 22, groupe «à haut
risque») et âgés de 12 mois sans antécédents familiaux de TSA (n = 27,
groupe «à faible risque» ). Bien
qu'il n'y ait pas de différence entre les groupes dans la fréquence
fondamentale ou le degré de phonation des échantillons cry, la durée de
chaque unité cry est significativement plus courte chez les frères et
sœurs à haut risque (p <0,05). Les six frères et sœurs infantiles qui ont reçu un diagnostic de TSA à
l'âge de deux ans ont eu une durée de gravité enregistrée la plus
courte.
There is preliminary evidence that infant siblings of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have an atypical pattern of cry, characterized by higher fundamental frequency and increased dysphonation. This prospective study collected multiple cry samples of 12-month old siblings of children with ASD (n = 22, 'high-risk' group) and 12-month olds with no family history of ASD (n = 27, 'low risk' group). While there was no difference between groups in the fundamental frequency or degree of phonation of the cry samples, the duration of each cry unit was significantly shorter in the high-risk siblings (p < .05). The six infant siblings who received a diagnosis of ASD at age two had amongst the shortest recorded cry durations.
