The aims of the present study were to develop and evaluate a clinically relevant integrated early detection programme based on the two-stage screening approach of Filipek et al. (1999), and to expand the evidence base for this approach. Methods: The integrated early detection programme encompassed: 1) training relevant professionals to recognise early signs of autism and to use the Early Screening of Autistic Traits Questionnaire (ESAT; Dietz, Swinkels et al., 2006; Swinkels, van Daalen, van Engeland, & Buitelaar, 2006), 2) using a specific referral protocol, and 3) building a multidisciplinary diagnostic team. The programme was evaluated in a controlled study involving children in two regions (N = 2793, range 0–11 years). The main outcome variables were a difference in mean age at ASD diagnosis and a difference in the proportion of children diagnosed before 36 months. Results: ASD was diagnosed 21 months (95% CI 9.6, 32.4) earlier in the experimental region than in the control region during the follow-up period, with the mean age at ASD diagnosis decreasing by 19.5 months (95% CI 10.5, 28.5) from baseline in the experimental region. Children from the experimental region were 9.4 times (95% CI 2.1, 41.3) more likely than children from the control region to be diagnosed before age 36 months after correction for baseline measurements. Most of these early diagnosed children had narrowly defined autism with mental retardation.

Brief report: A policy Delphi study of expectations on resource groups in autism mental healthcare / Rinske M. VAN DEN HEUVEL in Research in Autism, 132 (April 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 132 (April 2026) . - 202842 Titre : Brief report: A policy Delphi study of expectations on resource groups in autism mental healthcare Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rinske M. VAN DEN HEUVEL, Auteur ; Michel WENSING, Auteur ; Suzan EENINK, Auteur ; Hilde M. GEURTS, Auteur ; Jan-Pieter TEUNISSE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202842 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Mental healthcare  Network involvement  Integrated care  Recovery Résumé : Background There is a growing emphasis on what autistic individuals need to flourish. A similar trend is observed in general mental health services through personal recovery approaches, which aim for a meaningful life and increasing well-being rather than merely a remission of symptoms of psychological conditions. One practical application of this recovery-focused approach is the Resource Group (RG) method, which emphasizes empowerment with a focus on client chosen goals, integrated care, and involving close persons. The RG method has been shown to increase quality of life and empowerment in clients of not-autism specific mental healthcare settings and can potentially improve mental healthcare services which are currently insufficiently tailored to the needs of autistic people. Stakeholder views regarding this method need to be determined before implementation. This brief report aimed to investigate expectations regarding potential effects and barriers for implementation from the perspectives of autistic clients, healthcare professionals, and network members of clients. Methods Autistic clients (n = 9), network members chosen by the clients (n = 7), and mental healthcare professionals (n = 10), participated in three separate policy Delphi procedures, which aimed to identify and elaborate on the various perspectives on RGs. Results Expected benefits and barriers differed between stakeholder groups, with healthcare professionals anticipating most benefits compared to autistic clients and network members. Most expected benefits were increased interprofessional coordination, and increased client empowerment, although the latter was not strongly expected by clients. Barriers that were most expected were related to the long-term continuation of the RG, difficulties in scheduling RG meetings and the energy- and time demands. Conclusion The results highlight which aspects of the RG methodology need to be adjusted to make it feasible and beneficial for autistic individuals in mental health settings before testing its efficacy.

The Social Support Network of Adults with an Autism Spectrum Condition: An Exploration Using the Network in Action-Questionnaire / Rinske M. VAN DEN HEUVEL in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-5 (May 2023)

The aims of this study were to (1) examine the factor structure of the NiA-Q and (2) to explore the self- and proxy-report on the social network. Before the start of treatment in a mental health institution, 193 adults with an ASC diagnosis and 84 proxies completed the NiA-Q. Factor analysis showed two factors: positive social support and interpersonal distress. Self- and proxy-report on the NiA-Q did not differ for most variables, except for social network wishes. The NiA-Q provides a basis for network involvement and strengthening.
