The ability to distinguish children at risk for particular developmental disabilities, such as autism (ASD), can help to target treatment to mitigate core symptoms and the deleterious effects of early delay on developmental trajectory. The present study investigates the relationship between parental first concerns (FC) (communication, social/emotional, cognitive/adaptive/global, behavior problems, motor, hyperactivity, and medical/other concerns) on ASD diagnosis in a sample of 2905 toddlers who presented for early intervention assessment in the state of Louisiana. We also examine whether developmental quotient (DQ) contributes to a diagnosis of ASD. Individuals deemed at-risk for a developmental disability represent a heterogeneous population, and this investigation aims to provide direction for identifying children likely to be diagnosed with an ASD according to parental perceptions of disability. Findings illustrating the differences in ASD diagnosis within each FC category are discussed.

Acquisition of peer manding and listener responding in young children with autism / Elizabeth R. LORAH in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-2 (February 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 8-2 (February 2014) . - p.61-67 Titre : Acquisition of peer manding and listener responding in young children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Elizabeth R. LORAH, Auteur ; Shawn P. GILROY, Auteur ; Philip N. HINELINE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.61-67 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Mand  Listener responding  Picture communication  Peer manding  Autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Individuals diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder demonstrate impairments in communication and social interaction. The importance of acquiring those skills, especially as young children, has been well established in the literature. Peer-mediated interventions have recently received much attention; however, its use is contingent upon access to typically developing peers, which is not always the case in all educational settings. Thus, it is often necessary for specific instruction to occur for matched peers when conducting instruction for peer-mediated communication. However, strategies for teaching these skills have not adequately addressed the role of the listener, especially that of a matched peer, within the instructional setting. Listener responding is a required component for teaching this type of behavior, for without it these emerging skills may not produce reinforcement. Once taught, the communicative skills will require reinforcement from peer-listeners if those skills are to be maintained beyond the instructional setting. The current study arranged for young children with autism to play both the speaking and listening roles in the acquisition of peer-mediated communication (i.e., mand) skills, within a multiple baseline design. The study resulted in increases in independent peer manding and listener responding in all three children.

Final DSM-5 under-identifies mild Autism Spectrum Disorder: Agreement between the DSM-5, CARS, CASD, and clinical diagnoses / Susan DICKERSON MAYES in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-2 (February 2014)

Diagnostic agreement between the CARS and CASD was high (94%), but their agreement with the DSM-5 was lower (84% and 88%). Agreement between the DSM-5 and both the CARS and CASD increased to 94% and diagnostic accuracy increased from 92% to 96% when one less DSM-5 social communication and interaction symptom was required for a diagnosis. Children with ASD not meeting DSM-5 criteria most often did not have criterion A2 (deficits in nonverbal social communication). Total scores on the DSM-5, CASD, and CARS were far higher for children with mild ASD (formerly PDDNOS) than no ASD, indicating that these children are clearly on the autism spectrum and are quite different from children with other disorders. However, only one child with mild ASD was identified by the DSM-5. This study and 11 others show that the DSM-5 under-identifies children with ASD, particularly children at the mild end of the spectrum. This can be rectified by requiring one less social communication and interaction symptom for a diagnosis.

Differences in communication skills in toddlers diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder according to the DSM-IV-TR and the DSM-5 / Jennifer BEIGHLEY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-2 (February 2014)

In the present study, the area of communication was examined, specifically related to the effect the DSM-5 changes have on scores of Expressive and Receptive communication in a sample of 3138 at-risk toddlers using the Battelle Developmental Inventory, Second Edition. Significant differences were not found in overall communication or Expressive Communication between toddlers who longer meet ASD criteria (n = 354) and those who continue to meet the new criteria (n = 486); a difference of only small effect size was found in Receptive communication. The toddlers who no longer met the new criteria represented a population of toddlers who were significantly more impaired than atypically developing peers who did not meet ASD criteria under either version of the DSM (n = 2298), with moderate effect sizes found in receptive, expressive, and overall communication. Importantly, results of the current study demonstrate that toddlers who no longer meet criteria do not differ from toddlers who continue to meet ASD criteria in their Expressive Communication, a common area of first concern noted by parents, and an area that is focused on during early intervention.

In Study 1, factor analysis of restricted and repetitive behaviors was carried out using the Repetitive Behavior Questionnaire-2 (RBQ-2), completed by 120 parents of 2- to 17-year-olds with ASD. Two subtypes resulted: repetitive sensory and motor behaviors, and insistence on sameness, accounting for 40% of the variance. This two-factor solution was retained even when the sensory items of the RBQ-2 were removed. In Study 2, 49 of the same parents also completed the Spence Anxiety Scales and the Sensory Profile. The insistence on sameness factor was significantly associated with anxiety while the repetitive motor behaviors factor was not. The relation between anxiety and insistence on sameness was mediated by sensory avoiding and to a lesser extent by sensory sensitivity. Implications for arousal explanations of ASD and for clinical practice are discussed.

This in turn can undermine the success of early intervention, and lead to poorer health outcomes for parents. The present study investigated the effects of parenting a child with an ASD on self-reported parenting stress, salivary biomarkers, and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure. Seventy-four mothers of 2–14 year olds with an ASD diagnosis completed a questionnaire booklet, which contained measures of parenting stress, and parent and child characteristics. Mothers wore an ambulatory blood pressure monitor, which collected systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate over a 24-h period. Saliva samples were collected for the purpose of measuring cortisol and alpha-amylase levels. High levels of parenting stress and anxiety, and moderately high levels of depression were reported. Mothers were found to have low cortisol levels, suggesting dysregulation of the HPA-axis and cortisol profile. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that quantity of unmet service needs, sleep problems, socialisation deficits, adaptive behaviour, and the coping strategies of self-blame and behavioural disengagement predicted maternal outcomes. Findings are discussed in relation to their implications for supporting parents of children with ASD.

The results of this review indicate important differences in the manifestation of friendships in individuals with ASD as compared to typical children. While there is consistent evidence for several topographical differences in friendship characteristics, a number of gaps in our knowledge are evident. These include limited data on children who have intellectual disability, and on the perspective of nominated friends as well as circumscribed data on satisfaction with friendship relationships.

Cost-effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy versus treatment as usual for anxiety disorders in children with autism spectrum disorder / Francisca J. A. VAN STEENSEL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-2 (February 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 8-2 (February 2014) . - p.127-137 Titre : Cost-effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy versus treatment as usual for anxiety disorders in children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Francisca J. A. VAN STEENSEL, Auteur ; Carmen D. DIRKSEN, Auteur ; Susan M. BOGELS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.127-137 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Anxiety  CBT  TAU  Cost-effectiveness Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract The study's aim was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of CBT compared to treatment as usual (TAU). In total, 49 children aged 8–18 years with ASD and comorbid anxiety disorders, and their parents, participated; 24 were assigned to CBT and 25 were assigned to TAU. Outcome measures were the percentage of children free from their primary anxiety disorder and quality adjusted life years (QALYs). Costs were measured using a retrospective cost-questionnaire. Effects and costs were assessed at pre-, post-, and three months after treatment. Effects and costs were not statistically different between CBT and TAU, however the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) demonstrated that CBT dominates TAU. Bootstrapped ICERs demonstrated that CBT has a high probability to be more effective than TAU, however, the probability that either CBT or TAU is more costly did not differ much.

In total, 49 children aged 8–18 years with ASD and comorbid anxiety disorders, and their parents, participated; 24 were assigned to CBT and 25 were assigned to TAU. Outcome measures were the percentage of children free from their primary anxiety disorder and quality adjusted life years (QALYs). Costs were measured using a retrospective cost-questionnaire. Effects and costs were assessed at pre-, post-, and three months after treatment. Effects and costs were not statistically different between CBT and TAU, however the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) demonstrated that CBT dominates TAU. Bootstrapped ICERs demonstrated that CBT has a high probability to be more effective than TAU, however, the probability that either CBT or TAU is more costly did not differ much. Secondary analyses demonstrated fairly robust results. CBT seems a cost-effective intervention compared to TAU, however, long-term follow-ups and comparisons between CBT and specific TAUs are necessary. Cost-effectiveness analyses may help inform policy makers to decide how to treat anxiety disorders in children with ASD.

Early Intensive Behavioral Interventions: Selecting behaviors for treatment and assessing treatment effectiveness / Johnny L. MATSON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-2 (February 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 8-2 (February 2014) . - p.138-142 Titre : Early Intensive Behavioral Interventions: Selecting behaviors for treatment and assessing treatment effectiveness Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Johnny L.

A hallmark of this intervention model is the bundling of multiple behaviors simultaneously for intervention. With the addition of various comorbid problems such as challenging behaviors and psychopathology, it becomes incumbent on clinicians to prioritize behaviors for intervention. Based on the studies conducted to date, little has been done in this regard. Additionally, general measures of ASD, adaptive behavior and cognitive functioning are primarily used to assess outcomes, many of these measures were not designed to assess treatment effects, and little evidence is available to link intervention to specific items on these scales.

The gender of participants in published research involving people with autism spectrum disorders / Erin E. WATKINS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-2 (February 2014)

The overall male:female ratio was 4.62, which is similar to that reported in epidemiological studies, but the ratio was 6.07 in intervention studies. These findings suggesting that males were in a statistical sense over-represented in intervention studies, but not in other kinds of research. Most (82.21%) of these studies included both male and female participants, but direct comparisons of males and females with an autism spectrum disorder are scarce. Few of the articles we examined, 0.49% of the total, involved only female participants. Roughly half of the articles included comparison groups without an autism spectrum disorder. The percentage of male participants in these comparison groups was substantially and significantly lower than the percentage of males in groups with an autism spectrum disorder, which may in some cases constitute a methodological confound. We encourage researchers to carefully consider the gender of participants as both an extraneous variable and as an independent variable in future investigations.

Additionally, the DSM-5 introduced structural criteria changes for the ASD diagnostic group. The current study included 205 infants between 17 and 37 months who were part of a screening program assessing children for developmental delays or a general medical condition placing them at risk for a developmental delay. Each participant was administered the Baby and Infant Screen for Children with aUtIsm Traits-Part 2 (BISCUIT-Part 2) as part of a broader screening package. The BISCUIT-Part 2 is a measure of comorbid psychopathology symptoms which includes a normative ASD group. Following completion of the screeners, participants were separated into either the ASD or atypically developing diagnostic categories based upon clinical diagnosis. The scores for each subscale of the BISCUIT-Part 2 were calculated and used to indicate the presence of comorbid symptoms. Statistical analyses identified that comorbid psychopathology symptoms occur at significantly greater rates in infants and toddlers diagnosed with ASD when compared to an atypically developing peer group. The implications of these findings as well as future directions are discussed.
