However, limited measures that assess these problems in adults with ASD have been developed till date, particularly in Japan. Robertson and Simmons (2012) developed a self-rating scale to investigate sensory sensitivity: the Glasgow Sensory Questionnaire (GSQ). In the present study, we developed a Japanese version of GSQ and investigated sensory abnormalities in adults with ASD. We compared results of the Japanese version of GSQ in adults between an ASD group (n = 64) and a control group (n = 70). In addition, we also administered these individuals with the autism spectrum quotient (AQ), which is a questionnaire for assessing autistic traits. The Japanese version of GSQ scores was significantly higher in the ASD group than that in the control group. The total GSQ score and each sensory subscale showed a positive correlation with AQ in the total study sample. These results indicate that individuals with pronounced autistic traits have more frequent and extreme sensory processing problems compared with that in individuals with less pronounced autistic traits. We also assessed validity of the new test. Cronbach's ? of the questionnaire was calculated, and its high value indicates that the Japanese version of GSQ has high reliability.

The Diagnostic Behavioral Assessment for ASD – Revised (DiBAS-R) is a DSM-5/ICD-10 based caregiver-report screening tool that consists of 19 Likert-scaled items. This study evaluated the item-validities, item-difficulties, item-variances, part-whole corrected item total-correlations, reliability, and the factorial, diagnostic, and convergent/discriminant validities of the DiBAS-R in a clinical, adult ID sample (N = 219). Factor analysis yielded two consistent dimensions; i.e., social interaction/communication and stereotypy/rigidity/sensory abnormalities. The diagnostic validity was adequate, as reflected by an area under the curve of 0.89 and balanced sensitivity and specificity values of 81%. The DiBAS-R total scores were significantly correlated with the Social Communication Questionnaire (r = 0.52), the Scale for Pervasive Developmental Disorders in Mentally Retarded Persons (r = 0.50), and the Autism-Checklist (r = 0.59), while no significant correlation with the Modified Overt Aggression Scale was observed. The interrater reliability was excellent (ICC = 0.88). These findings indicate that the DiBAS-R is a promising and psychometrically sound instrument for ASD screening of adults with ID.

Increased risk of autism spectrum disorder among early life asthma patients: An 8-year nationwide population-based prospective study / Po-Hsin TSAI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-4 (April 2014)

We conducted a nationwide population-based prospective cohort study (1:4 case:control patients, age- and gender-matched), hypothesizing that asthma in infancy or toddlerhood increased the risk of ASD. The participants comprised 2134 asthmatic infants and children and 8536 controls aged 0–3 years in 2002. We identified cases of ASD that occurred near the end of the follow-up period (December 31, 2010), determining that asthmatic infants and children exhibited a higher accumulative incidence rate of ASD than did the controls (1.3% vs 0.7%, P = .007). After adjusting for age at enrollment, gender, level of urbanization, and comorbid allergic diseases (i.e., allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis), asthmatic infants and children exhibited an elevated risk of developing ASD (hazard ratio: 2.01, 95% confidence interval: 1.19–3.40). This prospective study indicated a temporal relation between asthma and subsequent ASD diagnosis, supporting the immune hypothesis of ASD pathogenesis. Further studies are required to clarify the probable interactional effects between these disorders and define a homogenous ASD subgroup.

Autism as a disconnection syndrome: A qualitative and quantitative review of diffusion tensor imaging studies / Margot HOPPENBROUWERS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-4 (April 2014)

DTI, coupled with tractography, assesses the structural connections between cortical regions and quantifies their white matter integrity. First, we provide an extensive qualitative overview of DTI findings in ASD. Next, to reveal convergence between studies, results are quantitatively analyzed using Activation Likelihood Estimation (ALE) and fibre tracking is performed to visualize the white matter tracts running through the obtained ALE clusters. Finally, findings from DTI research are related to specific symptoms characteristic of ASD. Overall, the qualitative analysis yields a widespread disruption of white matter integrity in the brain of individuals with ASD as compared to typically developing controls. This is the case for both the long-range and the local short-range connections, partially contradicting the leading hypothesis. However, several studies investigating very young children with ASD report greater structural connectivity, suggesting a developmental switch in white matter integrity in the ASD brain. Based on the combined qualitative and quantitative analysis, the corpus callosum and the ventral tracts emerge as particularly affected connections in individuals with ASD.

However, few previous studies have investigated crossmodal attention switching in individuals with ASD. The present study investigates whether children with ASD have difficulty in crossmodal processing across auditory and visual modalities. For this study, we observed 10 children with ASD and 11 IQ-, age-, and gender-matched, healthy, control children. We used a modified gap/overlap task that required the simultaneous allocation of attention to auditory and visual stimuli (audio-visual gap/overlap task). In addition, the visual-only gap/overlap task used a classical gap/overlap procedure. In the visual-only gap/overlap task, children with ASD exhibited the same performance as control children. In contrast, in the audio-visual condition, children with ASD were significantly slower to respond than control children in both the gap and overlap tasks. In addition, the gap effects between the ASD and control groups were observed in each condition, but no significant group differences were observed. These results suggest that children with ASD exhibit difficulty in simultaneously allocating attentional resources to auditory and visual modalities although children with ASD are intact in disengagement of attention. These findings provide important insights regarding crossmodal processing in ASD.

Topics explored are the prevalence of AD/HD, the importance of studying AD/HD, as well as the questionnaire measures used to measure AD/HD in individuals with ASD. Research on the relationship between AD/HD in ASD and parental stress and psychological distress, developmental regression, language and communication, adaptive behavior, social skills, autism severity, challenging behavior, comorbid psychopathology, gastrointestinal symptoms, sleep problems, epilepsy, sensory issues, motor difficulties, and quality of life are also discussed. Research on cardiac reactivity and executive functioning are also explored. Finally, recommendations for treatment are given as well as areas where future research is needed.

The effects of script-fading and a Lag-1 schedule on varied social responding in children with autism / Ronald LEE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-4 (April 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 8-4 (April 2014) . - p.440-448 Titre : The effects of script-fading and a Lag-1 schedule on varied social responding in children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ronald LEE, Auteur ; Peter STURMEY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.440-448 Mots-clés : Response variability  Scripting  Social skills  Autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study investigated the effects of a script-fading procedure and a Lag-1 reinforcement schedule with repeated trials contingent on repeated responses on varied responding during brief conversations by one girl and two boys with autism. The experiment used a multiple-baseline-across-participants design. During baseline (Lag-0), the experimenter reinforced appropriate responding during a brief three-turn conversation. During scripting and script-fading, the experimenter gave participants audio taped models to imitate in response to experimenter-delivered antecedents in the conversation. During Lag-1 with repeated trials, the experimenter delivered reinforcement contingent on appropriate and varied responding in any part of the social conversation. During the Lag-0, participants emitted low levels of appropriate and varied responding. During scripting the participants emitted increased appropriate and varied responding. This systematically decreased to baseline levels during the return to Lag-0. During Lag-1 with repeated trials, participants increased varied and appropriate responding to levels similar to that seen during scripting. Generalization of varied responding to different settings, people, and conversations did not occur. These results are discussed in terms of extinction-induced variability and stimulus control.

Desire for social interaction in children with autism spectrum disorders / Anne DECKERS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-4 (April 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 8-4 (April 2014) . - p.449-453 Titre : Desire for social interaction in children with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anne DECKERS, Auteur ; Jeffrey ROELOFS, Auteur ; Peter MURIS, Auteur ; Mike RINCK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.449-453 Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Children  Desire for social interaction  Approach and avoidance tendencies Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In this experimental clinical study, a first attempt was made to examine the desire for social interaction in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Children with ASD and typically developing (TD) children completed both an explicit measure (self-report) and an implicit measure (Face Turn Approach–Avoidance Task) of the desire for social interaction. On the explicit assessment, children with ASD clearly displayed lower scores reflecting less desire for social interaction than TD children. On the implicit assessment, children with ASD showed a stronger tendency to pull both social and non-social stimuli towards them, which indicates a general automatic tendency towards approach, as compared to the TD children. Possible reasons for this dissociation between the explicit and implicit desire for social interaction are discussed and directions for future research are provided.
