Patients with ASDs were identified in the National Health Insurance Database from 1996 to 2010, and compared with age and gender-matched controls (1:4) in an investigation of the association between ASDs and allergic/autoimmune diseases. A total of 1596 patients with ASDs were identified, and were found to have a significantly higher prevalence of allergic and autoimmune diseases than the control group. Patients with ASDs had increased risks of asthma (OR = 1.74, 95%CI = 1.51'1.99), allergic rhinitis (OR = 1.70, 95%CI = 1.51'1.91), atopic dermatitis (OR = 1.52, 95%CI = 1.30'1.78), urticaria (OR = 1.38, 95%CI = 1.12'1.69) and type 1 diabetes (OR = 4.00, 95%CI = 1.00'16.00), and a trend toward increasing comorbidity with Crohn's disease (OR = 1.46, 95%CI = 0.90'2.35). Our results support the association between ASDs and allergic diseases, and autoimmune comorbidities (type 1 diabetes and Crohn's disease). Further basic study is required to elucidate the possible underlying mechanisms and roles of allergy immunity and autoimmunity in the etiology of ASDs.

The mothers scored the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (PedsQLTM 4.0). The physical health, psychosocial health and total summary score of ASD group were significantly lower than TDC. Within ASD group, psychosocial (p < 0.001), social, school functioning and total summary score (p < 0.001) of the autism group were lower than AS, and PDD-NOS. The scores of AS and PDD-NOS were similar. PedsQL scores differed between the groups who take psychotropic medication and continue to special and formal education in ASD. PedsQL scores were negatively correlated with the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) score and positively correlated with the age that first signs appeared (p < 0.01). Within ASD group the children with autism had the poorer HRQoL than AS and PDD-NOS. The correlation between HRQoL and CARS scores was moderate. The severity of ASD has negative effects on HRQoL.

In this study, we examined corpus callosum size from a developmental perspective across a 30-year age range in a large cross-sectional sample of individuals with autism compared to a typically developing sample. Midsagittal corpus callosum area and the 7 Witelson subregions were examined in 68 males with autism (mean age 14.1 years; range 3'36 years) and 47 males with typical development (mean age 15.3 years; range 4'29 years). Controlling for total brain volume, increased variability in total corpus callosum area was found in autism. In autism, increased midsagittal areas were associated with reduced severity of autism behaviors, higher intelligence, and faster speed of processing (p = 0.003, p = 0.011, p = 0.013, respectively). A trend toward group differences in isthmus development was found (p = 0.029, uncorrected). These results suggest that individuals with autism benefit functionally from increased corpus callosum area. Our cross-sectional examination also shows potential maturational abnormalities in autism, a finding that should be examined further with longitudinal datasets.

Children were 54.57 months on average at recruitment. Measures of self-regulation included parents' reports of emotion regulation, effortful control, and executive function; direct observations of executive function skills; and observations of joint engagement during a parent'child interaction. Parents reported on school and prosocial peer engagement approximately one year later. Children with HFA had significantly impaired self-regulation, and decreased school and peer engagement. Executive function predicted both emotional and behavioral school engagement, whereas emotion regulation predicted prosocial peer engagement. The relation between effortful control and subsequent prosocial peer engagement was moderated by diagnostic group, suggesting it served a protective function for behaviors of children with HFA in the school setting.

Participants included 21 adults diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID), and 48 individuals diagnosed with ID and no diagnosis of an ASD. The SCQ yielded a sensitivity of .71 and a specificity of .77 at the authors' recommended cutoff score of 15 (Berument et al., 1999). However, when sensitivity was prioritized over specificity, the optimal cutoff score was 12, which yielded a sensitivity of .86 and a specificity of .60. The internal consistencies of the total scale (' = .87), the social interaction subscale (' = .83), and the restricted repetitive behavior subscale (' = .81) were good, but the communication subscale performed poorly (' = .48). The SCQ shows promise as a screening measure for adults with ID whose early developmental history may be unavailable. A lower cutoff score than the authors originally proposed is recommended in adults.

Pain has also been shown to act as a setting event for problem behavior. Further, problem behavior is one of the biggest impediments to quality of life for families and highly relates to parent stress. This study examined pain and problem behavior as predictors of parent stress and also examined how parenting style interacted with pain and problem behavior to influence parent stress. Results showed that problem behavior was a moderating factor between pain and parent stress and there was a significant interaction between pain and problem behavior predicting stress. An overprotective parenting style also moderated the relationship between pain and parent stress and there was an interaction between the two factors predicting stress. Implications are discussed in terms of treatments that focus on children's behavior and parenting behavior in order to improve quality of life in families of children with ASD.

However, a hierarchical cluster analysis based on spoken nonword repetition and sentence repetition identified two clusters within the combined group of ASD and TD participants. The first cluster (N = 6) presented with significantly poorer performances than the second cluster (N = 29) on both of the clustering variables in addition to single word and nonword reading.

Teaching generalized reading and spelling to children with autism / Takayuki TANJI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-2 (February 2013)

We taught them to construct printed words to match printed words, spoken words, and pictures through the CRMTS procedure. Hence, two participants performed well in the generalized reading and spelling skills of untrained words. However, one participant did not meet the criterion for the generalization of reading and spelling skills. We taught her to break a word into each syllable as a differential observing response to the sample in the task. The modified CRMTS procedure enabled her to establish the generalized reading and spelling skills.

We taught them to construct printed words to match printed words, spoken words, and pictures through the CRMTS procedure. Hence, two participants performed well in the generalized reading and spelling skills of untrained words. However, one participant did not meet the criterion for the generalization of reading and spelling skills. We taught her to break a word into each syllable as a differential observing response to the sample in the task. The modified CRMTS procedure enabled her to establish the generalized reading and spelling skills. This study discusses that the procedure and the modified CRMTS with differential observing response are effective for acquisition of generalized reading and spelling skills in children with autism.

Vicarious futurity, hope, and well-being in parents of children with autism spectrum disorder / Daniel J. FASO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-2 (February 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-2 (February 2013) . - p.288-297 Titre : Vicarious futurity, hope, and well-being in parents of children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Daniel J.

The broad positivity of hope may overlook opposing parental feelings about their child that may be important for well-being. Vicarious futurity (VF) is the hope and despair a parent feels for the future of their child, which reflects both positive and negative components of parental attitudes directed toward their child. In this study we examined how vicarious futurity related to hope, and how each predicted well-being in 71 parents (53 mothers) of children with ASD. Results indicated that regardless of child symptom severity, vicarious futurity strongly predicted stress experienced by parents, hope predicted depressive symptoms, and both predicted life satisfaction. Vicarious futurity and hope were found to be weakly correlated, indicating that both constructs are largely independent when influencing the well-being of parents raising a child with ASD. General hopefulness is important for parental well-being, but in the unique context of parents raising children with ASD, child focused constructs that measure both positive and negative components, such as vicarious futurity, may be more informative and useful when understanding how parental feelings about their child influence their own well-being.

DSM-5 under-identifies PDDNOS: Diagnostic agreement between the DSM-5, DSM-IV, and Checklist for Autism Spectrum Disorder / Susan DICKERSON MAYES in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-2 (February 2013)

Diagnostic specificity (true negatives) was 100% for the DSM-5 and 97% for the DSM-IV. Sensitivity (true positives) was high for LFA and HFA (DSM-5 98%, DSM-IV 100%), but only 27% of children with PDDNOS were identified by the DSM-5 as having ASD. The unidentified children had significant autism symptoms on an autism severity measure compared to controls. Overall, children with ASD identified by the DSM-5 increased from 75% to 91% when one less symptom was required for an ASD diagnosis, with only a slight change in specificity (97%), similar to previously published research. Diagnostic agreement between the DSM-5 and DSM-IV for the entire sample increased from 86% to 94% when one less DSM-5 symptom was required. Therefore, under-identification of ASD and low agreement between the DSM-5 and other measures may be resolved if one less symptom is required for an ASD diagnosis.

The relationship between family functioning and behavior problems in children with autism spectrum disorders / Darryn M. SIKORA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-2 (February 2013)

To address the impact of child behavior problems on family health, we examined data collected from 136 families raising children with ASD. Children were divided into groups based on parent responses to the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL): low versus high internalizing and low versus high externalizing behavior problems. Family functioning was measured using the Family Impact Questionnaire, Revised (FIQ-R). Results of ANCOVA analyses indicated significant group differences in FIQ-R domains of Negative Attitudes About Parenting, Social Relationships, Sibling Impact, and Impact to Marriage when comparing externalizing behaviors. None of the FIQ-R domains demonstrated group differences when comparing internalizing behaviors. Correlation coefficients indicated moderately strong associations between higher externalizing behaviors and poorer family functioning, with the most significant associations among child behavior and increased negativity in parenting perceptions and poorer social functioning. This study provides information regarding co-occurring behaviors that have the strongest negative association with family functioning and the domains of family functioning most vulnerable to the severity of such behaviors.

Although problematic video game use has been associated with behavior problems among typically developing children, the relationship between these variables has not been previously examined among children with ASD. The current study examined the relationships between aspects of video game use and problem behaviors among a sample of 169 boys (ages 8'18) with ASD. Parents reported on their children's behavioral functioning and video game habits and preferences, including the average number of hours spent playing video games per day, preferred game types (genres), and problematic (i.e., addictive) video game play patterns. The results revealed that problematic video game use was significantly correlated with inattention and oppositional behavior. Boys who played Role-Playing games had higher levels of both problematic game use and oppositional behavior. Finally, problematic game use and Role-Playing game genre were significant predictors of oppositional behavior, even when controlling for age and amount of time spent playing video games. The results highlight the clinical importance of examining video game use patterns among children with ASD, and indicate a need for future experimental and longitudinal research in this area.

The aim of this study was to compare patterns of postural sway in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with typically developing children (TD). We recruited 21 schoolchildren diagnosed with ASD aged 9'14 and 30 TD pupils aged 8'15. Postural sway parameters in composite, anteroposterior and mediolateral axis were reported. Furthermore we examined the impact of age and characteristics of autism on postural sway. Children with ASD exhibited higher amount of sway in anteroposterior range (p < 0.001), mediolateral range (p = 0.002), root mean square (p = 0.001), mean velocity (p = 0.03), and sway area (p = 0.007) compared with their TD peers. Children with ASD showed higher instability in mediolateral than anteroposterior axis though TD children demonstrated higher sway scores in anteroposterior than mediolateral direction. The rate of autism symptom severity significantly affected the postural sway in children with ASD (p < 0.05). In conclusion, patterns of postural control seem to be different in children with ASD compared with TD counterparts. This could be partially due to clinical features were underlying in ASD.

The most replicated sMRI findings in patients with ASD compared with healthy controls are increased total brain volume in early childhood and decreased corpus callosum volume.

Initial training efforts were largely disappointing for those with ASD, suggesting an intractable deficit. However, more recently, children with ASD trained with various pictorial strategies (like thought bubbles to depict beliefs) have made modest gains on trained ToM tasks, despite poor generalization and unanswered methodological questions. The present study therefore aimed to further examine the possible benefits of thought-bubble training for children with ASD while overcoming past methodological limitations. Our design advanced upon past thought-bubble studies by incorporating: (a) a non-intervention control group to test specificity of gains to the training intervention, (b) a broad ToM Scale to examine generalization of gains to other steps in ToM growth besides (trained) false belief, (c) a comprehensive assessment of children's verbal and nonverbal abilities, and (d) a delayed follow-up test. Results from 24 children with ASD aged 4.67'12.25 years revealed even stronger evidence than previously that thought-bubble training is genuinely beneficial in the context of autism. Statistically significant gains were made by trained children that, furthermore, (a) generalized beyond false-belief to other ToM concepts and (b) were maintained for at least 3 weeks. Control children showed no significant gains of any kind despite their close match to trained children at pretest. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-2 (February 2013) . - p.349-360 Titre : Psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Social Responsiveness Scale Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Susan Shur-Fen GAU, Auteur ; Li-Ting LIU, Auteur ; Yu-Yu WU, Auteur ; Yen-Nan CHIU, Auteur ; Wen-Che TSAI, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : p.349-360 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)  Chinese version  Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS)  Psychometric properties  Factor analysis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Social Responsiveness Scale (Chinese SRS). We assessed 1419 grade 1 to grade 8 students from northern Taiwan and 401 clinic-based participants (aged 3?20, male 90.3%). All clinic-based participants were clinically diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), including autistic disorder and Asperger's disorder, according to the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria and confirmed by a parental interview using the Chinese version of the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R). All the parents completed the Chinese SRS. Parents of participants with ASD also completed the Chinese version of the Social Communication Questionnaire (Chinese SCQ). Exploratory factor analysis revealed a 4-factor structure which was validated by confirmatory factor analysis with an adequate fit (root mean square error of approximation 0.031, comparative fit index 0.983, adjusted goodness of fit index 0.910, standardized root mean square residual 0.050) after excluding five items with low correlation coefficients. The 4-week test'retest reliability (intraclass correlations 0.751'0.852), internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.944'0.947), and convergent validity with the Chinese SCQ (Pearson correlations 0.609'0.865) demonstrated well-accepted psychometric performance. Participants with ASD reported significantly higher total scores and subscale scores for the four factors (i.e. socio-communication, autism mannerisms, social awareness, and social emotion) compared to those without ASD. Our findings indicate that the Chinese SRS is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring autistic traits in the ethnic Chinese population in Taiwan.

Common and unique impairments in facial-expression recognition in pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified and Asperger's disorder / Shota UONO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-2 (February 2013)

We compared individuals with PDD-NOS or Asperger's disorder (ASP) and typically developing individuals in terms of their ability to recognize facial expressions conveying the six basic emotions. Individuals with PDD-NOS and ASP were worse at recognizing fearful faces than were controls. Individuals with PDD-NOS were less accurate in recognizing disgusted faces than were those with ASP. The results suggest that PDD subtypes are characterized by shared and unique impairments in the ability to recognize facial expressions. Furthermore, the ability to recognize fearful but not disgusted expressions was negatively correlated with the severity of social dysfunction in PDD-NOS and ASP. The results suggest that impaired recognition of fearful and disgusted faces may reflect the severity of social dysfunction across PDD subtypes and the specific problems associated with PDD-NOS, respectively. Characteristics associated with different levels of symptom severity in PDD-NOS are discussed in terms of similarities with brain damage and other psychiatric disorders.

This has led to an interest in the decision-making process related to intervention choices for parents of children with ASD. The present paper reviewed 16 studies examining the factors declared by parents as affecting their decision-making. Frequently nominated factors included recommendations from others, the availability, accessibility, and cost of interventions, the availability and use of other interventions, and research evidence. Few studies presented data regarding the impact of research evidence or the relative importance of factors when making decisions. Further research related to professionals' recommendations for interventions, the weight parents place on different factors, and the influence of research evidence is recommended.

Methods Parents of 105 children with ASD, ID, or MD were presented with 21 possible future outcomes and were asked to indicate how important and how likely they considered these outcomes for their children with disabilities when they become adults. Results Parents rated the overall likelihood of their child attaining various future outcomes significantly lower than the importance they placed on these same outcomes. They mostly valued future outcomes relating to their children's personal satisfaction, safety and security over and above those relating to social participation. Parental ratings of the importance or likelihood of outcomes did not differ across the diagnostic groups. Ratings of importance were independent of the child's age, gender, diagnosis, or severity of functioning, but likelihood ratings were significantly predicted by the children's symptom severity. Conclusions The implications of this study's findings for service development, intervention and transitioning planning, and treatment outcome research are discussed in relation to existing literature and the study's strengths and limitations.

Little is known about the dual presentation of CP and ASD. Timely diagnosis is imperative as early intervention may impact a child's developmental trajectory. The study used a cross-sectional descriptive design. We report data on cognitive profiles, ASD presenting symptoms, the time to definitive diagnosis of ASD, medical and behavioral co-morbidities in children with a dual diagnosis of CP and ASD. Seventy-two percent (72%) of children with CP + ASD had a developmental disability profile. Children were diagnosed with ASD at the median age of 66.5 months (range: 31'210 months). Repetitive behaviors were the most common ASD alerting symptom. Repetitive motor mannerisms were reported in 71% of CP + ASD population. Constipation, asthma and aggression showed highest statistical differences between CP + ASD group and CP only group. Our study has established that cognitive impairment is common amongst children with CP + ASD. ASD is diagnosed later in children with CP + ASD, than reference age of diagnosis in children with ASD. Medical and behavioral co-morbidities are common in children with CP + ASD. Clinicians need to be sensitized to the possibility of multiple diagnoses including ASD in children with cerebral palsy.

The current study aimed to expand that research to include analysis of the relationship of maternal age and education level on mothers' ratings of their child's ASD by inspecting the total score on the Autism Spectrum Disorders ' Diagnostic for Children (ASD-DC). We investigated biological mothers' ratings of 73 children (5'16 years of age), all of who had ASD diagnoses. Informants were classified into one of three age groups ('34 years; 35'40 years; '41 years) and one of two education groups (high school graduate; university graduate). Following a two-way ANOVA, a significant interaction effect was found for informant age group and education level on total scores of the ASD-DC. Within the '41 age group, ratings of ASD increased (indicating greater impairment) as the informants' education level increased. A reverse trend was established in the other two age groups. Further findings and implications are discussed.

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-2 (February 2013) . - p.418-431 Titre : The formation of equivalence classes in individuals with autism spectrum disorder: A review of the literature Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Laurie Kathleen MCLAY, Auteur ; Dean SUTHERLAND, Auteur ; John CHURCH, Auteur ; Gaye TYLER-MERRICK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.418-431 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Equivalence relations  Stimulus equivalence  Autism spectrum disorder  Generalization Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Articles that empirically investigated the emergence of untaught equivalence relations among individuals with autism are presented in this review. Systematic searches of academic databases, journals and ancestry searches identified nine studies that met inclusion criteria. These studies were evaluated according to: (a) participants, (b) developmental assessments conducted and reported, (c) experimental design, (d) stimulus content, (e) setting, (f) teaching procedure variables, (g) independent variables, (h) emergent skills tested, (i) main findings, (j) retention testing, and (k) reliability measures. The results of this synthesis demonstrate that while most individuals with ASD are able to form equivalence classes, the findings are variable. There are several examples in the literature in which untaught equivalence relations only emerged for some of the participants, or under modified teaching and testing conditions. In view of the limited research in this area, the lack of replication of findings, and the lack of investigation into variables that may affect the formation of equivalence classes, several recommendations are made for further research.
