A comparison of autonomic, behavioral, and parent-report measures of sensory sensitivity in young children with autism / Cooper R. WOODARD in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-3 (July-September 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-3 (July-September 2012) . - p.1234-1246 Titre : A comparison of autonomic, behavioral, and parent-report measures of sensory sensitivity in young children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Cooper R. WOODARD, Auteur ; Matthew GOODWIN, Auteur ; Philip R.

Parents of all participants also completed the Infant/Toddler Sensory Profile (SP). Results indicate that children with autism were generally more hyper-sensitive and less hypo-sensitive to a wide range of sensory stimuli as compared to controls on both physiological and behavioral measures. Further, a weak association was found for the group with autism between HR and behavioral rating data, while no such relationship was found for the typically developing control group. Neither the HR data nor the behavioral rating data corresponded to the SP, with the exception of (1) HR and the Low Registration score and (2) HR and the Vestibular score for the ASD group only. While these are preliminary findings based on a small number of participants, the results suggest that some young children with autism are hyper-responsive to sensory stimuli. These findings also call into question the validity of the SP, and indicate the need for further examination of this instrument.

A Comparison of the Stress Survey Schedule in Children with Autism and Typically Developing Children: A Brief Report / Cooper R. WOODARD in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 51-4 (April 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 51-4 (April 2021) . - p.1375-1384 Titre : A Comparison of the Stress Survey Schedule in Children with Autism and Typically Developing Children: A Brief Report Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Cooper R. WOODARD, Auteur ; Colin HARMONY, Auteur ; June GRODEN, Auteur ; Kristen AUDET, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1375-1384 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Assessment  Autism  Stress Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Past research suggests that stress and anxiety are more prevalent in persons with autism as compared to typically developing persons. The Stress Survey Schedule (SSS) was developed in 2001 as a means to measure stressors common to persons with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The present study compared SSS responses of a sample of students diagnosed with ASD and intellectual disability with a group of typically developing students to explore the divergent validity and internal consistency of this measure, and to assess changes in scores among pre-adolescent and adolescent populations. Results indicated significant mean differences in SSS scores between persons with ASD and persons who are typically developing, and mean score differences among identified ASD age groups.

Feasibility of exposure response prevention to treat repetitive behaviors of children with autism and an intellectual disability: A brief report / Brian A. BOYD in Autism, 17-2 (March 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 17-2 (March 2013) . - p.196-204 Titre : Feasibility of exposure response prevention to treat repetitive behaviors of children with autism and an intellectual disability: A brief report Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Brian A. BOYD, Auteur ; Cooper R. WOODARD, Auteur ; James W. BODFISH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.196-204 Mots-clés : autism  exposure response prevention  repetitive behaviors  treatment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is a lack of evidence-based behavioral therapies or pharmacotherapies to treat repetitive behaviors found in autism. Effective behavioral therapies are needed to counter any negative consequences these behaviors may have on the child’s early learning and socialization. The purpose of this proof-of-principle study was to test the feasibility of modifying exposure response prevention, an evidence-based strategy for obsessive–compulsive disorder, to treat the repetitive behaviors found in autism. Five school-aged participants (ages 5–11) diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder participated in the study. Our preliminary findings suggest it is feasible, and potentially efficacious, to modify standard exposure response prevention to treat the specific forms of repetitive behaviors found in individuals with autism and comorbid intellectual disabilities. A larger clinical trial is needed to substantiate these preliminary findings.

Object Identification and Imagination: An Alternative to the Meta-Representational Explanation of Autism / Cooper R. WOODARD in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 41-2 (February 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 41-2 (February 2011) . - p.213-226 Titre : Object Identification and Imagination: An Alternative to the Meta-Representational Explanation of Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Cooper R. WOODARD, Auteur ; Jennifer VAN REET, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.213-226 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Imagination  Objects  Meta-representational theory Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Past research has focused on pretend play in infants with autism because it is considered an early manifestation of symbolic or imaginative thinking. Contradictory research findings have challenged the meta-representational model. The intent of this paper is to propose that pretend play is the behavioral manifestation of developing imaginative ability, the complexity of which is determined by the degree of progression from part-object/inanimate object to whole-object/human object identification. We propose that autism is the result of non-completion of this process to varying degrees. This not only affects early pretend play behaviors, but also later social, language, and cognitive skills derived from the level of imagination-based sophistication achieved during foundational periods available for early identification.

A placebo double-blind pilot study of dextromethorphan for problematic behaviors in children with autism / Cooper R. WOODARD in Autism, 11-1 (January 2007)

BODFISH, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.29-41 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Dextromethorphan Treatment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We used a mixed group/single-case, double-blind, placebo-controlled, ABAB design to examine the safety and efficacy of the glutamate antagonist dextromethorphan for the treatment of problematic behaviors and core symptoms in eight children diagnosed with autism. All participants had increased levels of irritability at baseline as measured by the Aberrant Behavior Checklist, and demonstrated a wide variety of problematic behaviors. Group analyses revealed that dextromethorphan was equivalent to placebo in the treatment of problem behaviors and core symptoms. Analyses at the single-subject level demonstrated that three of the eight participants who had a behavioral profile consistent with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder responded positively to dextromethorphan. Future research that employs a larger, more homogeneous sample is necessary to replicate the findings from this study.
