A Comparison of Autism Prevalence Trends in Denmark and Western Australia / Erik T. PARNER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 41-12 (December 2011)

Some variation can be explained by diagnostic methods, case ascertainment and age at diagnosis. This study compared prevalence statistics for two distinct geographical regions, Denmark and Western Australia, both of which have had population-based registers and consistent classification systems operating over the past decade. Overall ASD prevalence rates were higher in Denmark (68.5 per 10,000 children) compared with Western Australia (51.0 per 10,000 children), while the diagnosis of childhood autism was more prevalent in Western Australia (39.3 per 10,000 children) compared with Denmark (21.8 per 10,000 children). These differences are probably caused by local phenomena affecting case ascertainment but influence from biological or geographical factors may exist.

Maternal Psychiatric Disorder and the Risk of Autism Spectrum Disorder or Intellectual Disability in Subsequent Offspring / Jenny FAIRTHORNE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-2 (February 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 46-2 (February 2016) . - p.523-533 Titre : Maternal Psychiatric Disorder and the Risk of Autism Spectrum Disorder or Intellectual Disability in Subsequent Offspring Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jenny FAIRTHORNE, Auteur ; Geoff HAMMOND, Auteur ; Jenny BOURKE, Auteur ; Nick KLERK, Auteur ; Helen LEONARD, Auteur Année de publication : 2016 Article en page(s) : p.523-533 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Intellectual  Psychiatric  Mothers  Pre-existing  Prenatal medication Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Psychiatric disorders are more common in the mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or intellectual disability (ID) after the birth of their child. We aimed to assess the relationship between women’s psychiatric contacts and subsequent offspring with ASD/ID. We linked three Western Australian registers to investigate pre-existing maternal outpatient psychiatric contacts and the odds of ASD/ID in a subsequent child. Women with a previous outpatient psychiatric contact were more than twice as likely to have a child with ASD [OR 2.07 (95 % CI 1.7, 2.6)] or ID [OR 2.31 (2.1, 2.6)]. Further research exploring the effect on pregnancy outcomes of medications prescribed to women with psychiatric disorders is implicated.

Onset of maternal psychiatric disorders after the birth of a child with autism spectrum disorder: A retrospective cohort study / Jenny FAIRTHORNE in Autism, 20-1 (January 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 20-1 (January 2016) . - p.37-44 Titre : Onset of maternal psychiatric disorders after the birth of a child with autism spectrum disorder: A retrospective cohort study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jenny FAIRTHORNE, Auteur ; Peter JACOBY, Auteur ; Jenny BOURKE, Auteur ; Nick DE KLERK, Auteur ; Helen LEONARD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.37-44 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  care-giver  health  intellectual disability  linked data  mental population  psychiatric study Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Mothers of a child with autism spectrum disorder have more psychiatric disorders after the birth of their child. This might be because they have more psychiatric disorders before the birth, or the increase could be related to the burden of caring for their child.Aims: We aimed to calculate the incidence of a psychiatric diagnosis in women with no psychiatric history after the birth of their eldest child with autism spectrum disorder compared to women with no child with autism spectrum disorder or intellectual disability and no psychiatric history.Methods: By linking datasets from Western Australian population-based registries, we calculated the incidence of a psychiatric disorder in mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder and compared to mothers of children with no autism spectrum disorder or intellectual disability. Negative binomial regression using STATA 13 was used for all analyses.Results: Apart from alcohol and substance abuse, mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder had higher incidences of all categories of psychiatric disorders than other mothers.Conclusion and implications: The increase of psychiatric disorders in mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder and no psychiatric history compared to similar mothers with no child with autism spectrum disorder or intellectual disability might be due to a pre-existing genetic disposition coupled with an environmental trigger provided by the challenges of raising their children with autism spectrum disorder. In addition, the increased burden borne by the mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder might result in a higher incidence of psychiatric disorders in mothers who are not genetically disposed.

Unpacking the complex nature of the autism epidemic / Helen LEONARD in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 4-4 (October-December 2010)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 4-4 (October-December 2010) . - p.548-554 Titre : Unpacking the complex nature of the autism epidemic Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Helen LEONARD, Auteur ; Andrew J. O. WHITEHOUSE, Auteur ; Glenys DIXON, Auteur ; Jenny BOURKE, Auteur ; Karina AIBERTI, Auteur ; Natasha NASSAR, Auteur ; Carol BOWER, Auteur ; Emma J. GLASSON, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.548-554 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic-disorder Autism Autism-spectrum-disorder Diagnosis Intellectual-disability Autism-epidemic Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The etiology of autism spectrum disorders is unknown but there are claims of increasing prevalence in many countries. Despite more than a decade of epidemiological investigation, it is still unclear whether the rising trend in prevalence reflects a true increase or changes in diagnostic trends and improvements in case ascertainment. This paper discusses changes in diagnostic criteria, decreasing age at diagnosis, improved case ascertainment, diagnostic substitution, and social and cultural influences on the overall effects on prevalence, including the role of an ASD diagnosis as a gateway to funding. The evidence suggests that the increased prevalence of autism spectrum disorder can be partly supported by each of these factors, but remains largely unquantified due to a variety of other global and local factors. The question of how much of a real increase in prevalence has occurred remains crucially important to understand the classification, epidemiology and etiology of autism spectrum disorders but can only be answered if controlling these other factors.
