Categorical and Dimensional Structure of Autism Spectrum Disorders: The Nosologic Validity of Asperger Syndrome / Inge KAMP-BECKER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 40-8 (August 2010)

The aim of this study was to examine the possible clustering of responses in different symptom domains without making any assumption concerning diagnostic appreciation. About 140 children and adolescents, incorporating 52 with a diagnosis of AS, 44 with HFA, 8 with atypical autism and 36 with other diagnoses, were examined. Our study does not support the thesis that autistic disorders are discrete phenotypes. On the contrary, it provides evidence that e.g. AS and autism are not qualitatively distinct disorders, but rather different quantitative manifestations of the same disorder.

Dimensional Structure of the Autism Phenotype: Relations Between Early Development and Current Presentation / Inge KAMP-BECKER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 39-4 (April 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 39-4 (April 2009) . - p.557-571 Titre : Dimensional Structure of the Autism Phenotype: Relations Between Early Development and Current Presentation Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Inge KAMP-BECKER, Auteur ; Helmut REMSCHMIDT, Auteur ; Mardjan GHAHREMAN, Auteur ; Judith SMIDT, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.557-571 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism-spectrum-disorders Dimensional-structure-of-autism-phenotype High-functioning-autism Asperger-syndrome Adaptive-behavior Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The dimensional structure of higher functioning autism phenotype was investigated by factor analysis. The goal of this study was to identify the degree to which early symptoms of autism (measured using the ADI-R) could be predictive of the current symptoms of autism as identified using the ADOS, the adaptive behavior scales, IQ scores and theory of mind scores. Participants included 140 subjects with Full Scale IQ > 70 (104 with autism spectrum diagnosis, 36 with non autism diagnosis, age range 6–24). For the early development as well as for the current presentation a multi-factor solution was found. In line with other studies we found that the social interaction and communication domains are closely related to one factor namely: Social communication. An additional factor implies anxious and compulsive behavior which is associated with current social communication functioning.
