Smith 5 (1)University Medical Center Groningen, (2)Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, (3)Ecole Normale Supérieure, (4) University of Aberdeen, (5)Dalhousie University Recognizing commonalities in action and behaviour between ourselves and others may be a very important prerequisite for 1) social understanding and development, 2) understanding when and how other people will behave as we do, and 3) learning from others by watching. This capacity may be impaired in autism. Such ideas gave rise to the self-other matching hypothesis of autism, and later, the mirror neuron hypothesis, and have generated wide interest in related studies in human and non-human primates. This symposium will consider the roles of mirror neurons and brain regions in self-other matching functions, including empathy, imitation, joint attention, mentalizing and auditory-visual integration and discuss their relevance to clinical practice. 1:15 128.1 Introductory Remarks. 1:25 128.2 From Mirror Neurons to Empathy and Autism.

Bishop 6 (1)Newcastle University, (2) National Autistic Society, (3)Institute of Child Health, (4) University of Cambridge, (5)University of Michigan, (6)University of Oxford The aim of the session is to consider the strengths and weaknesses of the main diagnostic instruments currently in use in the field of autism. Five contributors will each present information about the measure they have been involved in developing. They will briefly describe its theoretical framework, aims, scope, development process, and data on training of assessors, usage, and validity from recent research. The discussant is asked to sum up the strengths and weaknesses of the instruments with reference to research and to clinical practice. The discussant will then facilitate large-group consideration of what should be the ‘gold standard’ diagnostic tools and process followed in applications for major research funding in studies with clinical and non-clinical samples. (Currently ADOS and ADI-R are the essential tools in NIH National Database for Autism Research.) If time allows, there may be consideration of what should be the minimum diagnostic process described as followed in studies submitted for publication.
