Study summary
The goal of this observational study is to compare the developmental trajectories of prosocial behaviors and functional network connections in infants and toddlers at high and low risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The main questions it aims to answer are what the differences in prosocial behaviors and related brain network connections between infants/toddlers at high and low risk of ASD are. Participants will receive developmental and social communicational assessments (Griffiths Mental Developmental Scales, Peabody Developmental Motor Scales, The Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales Developmental Profile Infant-Toddler Checklist), resting-state EEG and MRI in a natural sleeping state.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- clinical diagnosis — At about 2.5 to 3 year-old.
Clinicians will diagnose subjects as ASD, other neurodevelopmental disorders, or typical developing children, using DSM-5 and ADOS-2. - neurodevelopmental outcome — At 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36-month-old.
The neurodevelopmental outcome will be measured by Griffiths Mental Developemental Scales. The developmental ages (DA) are referred from the norms and developmental quotients (DQs) are calculated by DA/CA (chronological age)\*100. Higher DQ indicates better development. The normal range of the DQ is above 70. - Prosocial behaviors — At 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36-month-old.
The prosocial behaviors will be measured by different behavior paradigms including helper-and-hinder, crying baby, and Theory of Mind. - nuclear magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) — At 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36-month-old.
Cranial MRI data will be collected during subjects are in natural asleep or awake, using uMR 890 3T of United Imaging company. - Event related potentials (ERPs) — At 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36-month-old.
ERPs will be tested using eego™ mylab of ANT Neuro company. Mu suppression、N1/N2、P3/LPP will be compared between children with ASD and typical development.
