Results indicated that, except for the Somatization, Conduct Problems, and Aggression scales, significant differences were found between the HFASD and typically-developing groups on all PRS scores. Mean HFASD scores were in the clinically significant range on the Behavioral Symptoms Index, Atypicality, Withdrawal, and Developmental Social Disorders scales. At-risk range HFASD means were obtained on the Adaptive Skills composite, all adaptive scales, remaining content scales (except Bullying), and Hyperactivity, Attention Problems, and Depression clinical scales. Screening indices suggested that the Developmental Social Disorders scale was highly effective in differentiating between the two groups.

Health-Related Quality of Life of Parents of Children With High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders / Gloria K. LEE in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 24-4 (December 2009)

Parents completed a packet of surveys measuring demographics, parenting stress, coping, resources, and QOL. Results of t tests showed significant differences between the two groups for all variables. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that for parents of children with HFASDs, demographics and psychosocial variables accounted for a significant amount of variance for physical health-related QOL, with income, number of children, and stress being significant variables. Demographics and psychosocial variables also accounted for a significant amount of variance for parents’ mental health-related QOL, with income and stress being significant variables.

Nasal voice in boys with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder / Audrey M. SMERBECK in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 17 (September 2015) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 17 (September 2015) . - p.116-125 Titre : Nasal voice in boys with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Audrey M. SMERBECK, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.116-125 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  HFASD  Asperger's disorder  Nasality  Voice  Resonance Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract This study compared speech samples of 29 boys aged 6–13 with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD) to those of 29 typically developing (TD) boys matched on age and ethnicity. Ten listeners blind to speakers’ diagnoses rated speech samples for nasality and reported their perceptions of the speaker on a 6-point Likert-type scale. Results indicated significantly greater listener-perceived nasality in the HFASD than the TD group. Listeners rated the HFASD group significantly higher than the TD group on negative socially relevant adjectives, a finding which was mediated by nasality. In addition, compared to TD speakers, speakers with HFASD were rated lower on dominance and perceived age, as well as higher on perceived disability.

RCT of a Manualized Social Treatment for High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders / Christopher LOPATA in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 40-11 (November 2010)

Participants were randomly assigned to treatment or wait-list conditions. Treatment included instruction and therapeutic activities targeting social skills, face-emotion recognition, interest expansion, and interpretation of non-literal language. A response-cost program was applied to reduce problem behaviors and foster skills acquisition. Significant treatment effects were found for five of seven primary outcome measures (parent ratings and direct child measures). Secondary measures based on staff ratings (treatment group only) corroborated gains reported by parents. High levels of parent, child and staff satisfaction were reported, along with high levels of treatment fidelity. Standardized effect size estimates were primarily in the medium and large ranges and favored the treatment group.
