For this process, screening instruments should ideally be brief, simple, and easily available. The aim of this study is to describe the validity of one such instrument. We administered the Michigan Autism Spectrum Questionnaire (MASQ), a 10-item questionnaire, to 42 patients with ASD (age range 6–13 years, mean 9.7 years, SD 2.5, one female) and 18 patients with other psychiatric disorders (age range 6–17 years, mean 11.7 years, SD 3.8, 6 females). Responses to each item were scored from 0 to 4 yielding a total score of 30. Patients with intellectual disability were excluded. As a group, patients with ASD scored higher than those with other psychiatric disorders (Chi-square test with 1 df = 16.019, En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/708273 Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=228 [article] The Michigan Autism Spectrum Questionnaire: A Rating Scale for High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders [Texte imprimé et/ou numérique] / Mohammad GHAZIUDDIN, Auteur ; K.

Back to Basic: Do Children with Autism Spontaneously Look at Screen Displaying a Face or an Object? / Marie GUIMARD-BRUNAULT in Autism Research and Treatment, (January 2014)

Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Eye-tracking studies on exploration of faces and objects in autism provided important knowledge but only in a constraint condition (chin rest, total time looking at screen not reported), without studying potential differences between subjects with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and controls in spontaneous visual attention toward a screen presenting these stimuli. This study used eye tracking to compare spontaneous visual attention to a screen displaying a face or an object between children with autism and controls in a nonconstraint condition and to investigate the relationship with clinical characteristics in autism group. Time exploring screen was measured during passive viewing of static images of faces or objects. Autistic behaviors were assessed by the CARS and the BSE-R in autism group. In autism group, time exploring face screen and time exploring object screen were lower than in controls and were not correlated with degree of distractibility. There was no interaction between group and type of image on time spent exploring screen. Only time exploring face screen was correlated with autism severity and gaze impairment. Results highlight particularities of spontaneous visual attention toward a screen displaying faces or objects in autism, which should be taken into account in future eye-tracking studies on face exploration.

Utility of Teacher-Report Assessments of Autistic Severity in Japanese School Children / Yoko KAMIO in Autism Research and Treatment, (January 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research and Treatment > (January 2014) . - 9 p. Titre : Utility of Teacher-Report Assessments of Autistic Severity in Japanese School Children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yoko KAMIO, Auteur ; Aiko MORIWAKI, Auteur ; Naoko INADA, Auteur Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : 9 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Recent studies suggest that many children with milder autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are undiagnosed, untreated, and being educated in mainstream classes without support and that school teachers might be the best persons to identify a child’s social deviance. At present, only a few screening measures using teacher ratings of ASD have been validated. The aim of this study was to examine the utility of teacher ratings on the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS), a quantitative measure of ASD. We recruited 130 participants aged 4 to 17 years from local schools or local pediatric outpatient clinics specializing in neurodevelopmental disorders that included 70 children with ASD. We found that the teacher-report SRS can be reliably and validly applied to children as a screening tool or for other research purposes, and it also has cross-cultural comparability. Although parent-teacher agreement was satisfactory overall, a discrepancy existed for children with ASD, especially for girls with ASD. To improve sensitivity in children at higher risk, especially girls, we cannot overstate the importance of using standardized norms specific to gender, informant, and culture.

Dietary Intake and Plasma Levels of Choline and Betaine in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Joanna C. HAMLIN in Autism Research and Treatment, (January 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research and Treatment > (January 2014) . - 7 p. Titre : Dietary Intake and Plasma Levels of Choline and Betaine in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Joanna C. HAMLIN, Auteur ; Margaret PAULY, Auteur ; Stepan MELNYK, Auteur ; Oleksandra PAVLIV, Auteur ; William STARRETT, Auteur ; Tina A. CROOK, Auteur ; S. Jill JAMES, Auteur Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : 7 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abnormalities in folate-dependent one-carbon metabolism have been reported in many children with autism. Because inadequate choline and betaine can negatively affect folate metabolism and in turn downstream methylation and antioxidant capacity, we sought to determine whether dietary intake of choline and betaine in children with autism was adequate to meet nutritional needs based on national recommendations. Three-day food records were analyzed for 288 children with autism (ASDs) who participated in the national Autism Intervention Research Network for Physical Health (AIR-P) Study on Diet and Nutrition in children with autism. Plasma concentrations of choline and betaine were measured in a subgroup of 35 children with ASDs and 32 age-matched control children. The results indicated that 60–93% of children with ASDs were consuming less than the recommended Adequate Intake (AI) for choline. Strong positive correlations were found between dietary intake and plasma concentrations of choline and betaine in autistic children as well as lower plasma concentrations compared to the control group. We conclude that choline and betaine intake is inadequate in a significant subgroup of children with ASDs and is reflected in lower plasma levels. Inadequate intake of choline and betaine may contribute to the metabolic abnormalities observed in many children with autism and warrants attention in nutritional counseling.
