Parent-rated anxiety in autistic adolescents and young adults: Concurrent links to autism traits and chronic sleep problems / Yanru CHEN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 101 (March 2023)
[article]
Titre : Parent-rated anxiety in autistic adolescents and young adults: Concurrent links to autism traits and chronic sleep problems Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yanru CHEN, Auteur ; Rachel M. HANTMAN, Auteur ; Helen TAGER-FLUSBERG, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102104 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Anxiety Autism spectrum disorder Restricted and repetitive behaviors Chronic sleep problems Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Anxiety is prevalent among autistic individuals, but less is known about the different anxiety problems autistic adolescents and young adults experience and the main behavioral manifestations of their anxiety. This study investigated these issues and the relation between the overall level of anxiety and a range of factors in autistic adolescents and young adults, including autism traits, challenging behaviors, adaptive behavior, sleep problems, and gastrointestinal issues. Method 66 parents of autistic adolescents and young adults completed an interview and responded to questionnaires on their children’s anxiety, autism traits, sensory processing, challenging behaviors, adaptive behavior, and medical issues. Results The most frequently parent-endorsed moderate and severe anxiety problems were related to social situations, new situations, upcoming events, loud noises, and changes in routine. In contrast, parents were least likely to endorse anxiety problems related to being separated from others, being noticed, or being late. Regarding anxiety-related behaviors, parents frequently endorsed avoidance, requiring constant reassurance, performing repetitive behaviors, shutting down, and overreacting to changes. Individuals with more severe social cognition difficulties, restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs), and chronic sleep problems demonstrated elevated levels of anxiety. Chronic sleep problems emerged as the primary concurrent predictor of anxiety in autistic adolescents and young adults and mediated the association between RRBs and anxiety. Conclusions Future anxiety treatment should consider targeting sleep problems simultaneously for autistic adolescents and young adults.

[article]
Titre : Receptive language and receptive-expressive discrepancy in minimally verbal autistic children and adolescents Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yanru CHEN, Auteur ; Brynn SILES, Auteur ; Helen TAGER-FLUSBERG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.381-394 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Among the approximately one-third of autistic individuals who experience considerable challenges in acquiring spoken language and are minimally verbal (MV), relatively little is known about the range of their receptive language abilities. This study included 1579 MV autistic children and adolescents between 5 and 18?years of age drawn from the National Database for Autism Research and the SFARI Base data repository. MV autistic children and adolescents demonstrated significantly lower receptive language compared to the norms on standardized language assessment and parent report measures. Moreover, their receptive language gap widened with age. Overall, our sample demonstrated significantly better receptive than expressive language. However, at the individual level, only about 25% of MV autistic children and adolescents demonstrated significantly better receptive language relative to their minimal expressive levels. Social skills explained a significant proportion of the variance in parent-reported receptive language skills, while motor skills were the most significant predictor of greater receptive-expressive discrepancy. Findings from this study revealed the heterogeneous language profiles in MV autistic children and adolescents, underscoring the importance of individualizing interventions to match their different communication strengths and needs and integrating multiple interconnected areas to optimize their overall development of language comprehension, socialization, and general motor skills.
