objective: the present study has been carried out to develop social cognition interventional program (scip) based on theory of mind (tom), and to investigate its effects on high-functional autistic (hfa) children's social function. methods: present study was completely experimental and its participants were randomly assigned to an experimental or a control group (among 14 hfa, 7 in experim...

communication impairment and interaction problems are obvious characteristics of children with autism disorder. this research aimed to design the preverbal skills training program, and study its effectiveness on high- functional autistic children's communication skills. this research is an experimental research in which students with higher scores in autism high functional scale were selec...

introduction: the dominant approach in the etiology and treatment of autism spectrum disorder (asd) is a behavioral approach. proponents of the behavioral model believe that children with autism in access to capabilities in achieving love, empathy, language and creative thinking, have significant fundamental defects.  instead model-based development of individual differences relationship offers...

Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) occurs based on the continuous deficit in a person’s verbal skills, visual, auditory, touch, and social behavior. Over the last two decades, one of the most important approaches in studying brain functions in autistic persons is using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Objectives: It is common to use all brain regions in functional extracti...

Individuals with high-functioning autism sometimes exhibit intact or superior performance on visuospatial tasks, in contrast to impaired functioning in other domains such as language comprehension, executive tasks, and social functions. The goal of the current study was to investigate the neural bases of preserved visuospatial processing in high-functioning autism from the perspective of the co...

Autism is a neurodevelopmental syndrome characterized by impaired social and executive functions. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive technique that allows investigation of the neural networks underlying cognitive impairments in autism. In this article, brain imaging studies investigating the functional brain anatomy of autism are reviewed. Face recognition, theory of...
