Adults with Asperger syndrome with and without a cognitive profile associated with “non-verbal learning disability.” A brief report / Agneta NYDEN 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.612-618 Titre : Adults with Asperger syndrome with and without a cognitive profile associated with “non-verbal learning disability.” A brief report Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Agneta NYDEN, Auteur ; Maria RASTAM, Auteur ; Annika DAHLGREN SANDBERG, Auteur ; Henrik ANCKARSATER, Auteur ; Lena NIKLASSON, Auteur ; Ola STAHLBERG, Auteur ; Elisabeth WENTZ, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.612-618 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adults Asperger-syndrome Neuropsychology Non-verbal-learning-disability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Asperger syndrome (AS) and non-verbal learning disability (NLD) are both characterized by impairments in motor coordination, visuo-perceptual abilities, pragmatics and comprehension of language and social understanding. NLD is also defined as a learning disorder affecting functions in the right cerebral hemisphere. The present study investigates if individuals with AS and a cognitive profile consistent with NLD (i.e. verbal IQ > performance IQ) would also have other problems inherent in NLD, visual memory and attention, reading/writing ability and arithmetic in the presence of preserved verbal memory and attention. Forty-four individuals with AS were assessed with a battery of neuropsychological tests. Reading/writing and arithmetic abilities were investigated. Education and global social adaptive levels were studied. Very few AS participants, even though with NLD cognitive profile showed problems with any of the neurocognitive abilities or academic achievements. However, all had poor global social adaptive functioning and few had paid employment, regardless of their cognitive profile. The present study suggests that AS and NLD are two different conditions even though some individuals in both groups have the verbal IQ > performance IQ profile that has been proposed to be typical of both AS and NLD.

Autism Spectrum Disorders and Coexisting Mental Health Problems / Ola STAHLBERG in Key Issues in Mental Health, 180 (2015)

Public ISBD [article]  inKey Issues in Mental Health > 180 (2015) . - p.5-19 Titre : Autism Spectrum Disorders and Coexisting Mental Health Problems Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ola STAHLBERG, Auteur ; Thomas NILSSON, Auteur ; Sebastian LUNDSTROM, Auteur ; Henrik ANCKARSATER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.5-19 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : AUT-B AUT-B - L'Autisme - Ouvrages généraux et scientifiques Résumé : It is a rule rather than an exception that mental disorders occur in complex and manifold forms, and a number of models have been proposed to explain this co-occurrence or co-‘morbidity'. Autism spectrum disorders (ASD, i.e. autistic disorder, Asperger syndrome, and pervasive developmental disorder - not otherwise specified) are no exemption. Here, the literature on ASD co-occurring with developmental disorders (such as ADHD), learning disorders, and problems that typically arise during childhood (e.g. oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder), and adulthood (e.g. anxiety, affective/mood disorders, and psychotic disorders), will be reviewed. The patterns of mental disorders co-occurring with ASD could not be summarized into any consistent and easy-to-interpret model of co-morbidity. Thus, research on ASD should consider and not rule out coexisting mental conditions (and include persons with complex problems in studies), clinical assessments, and evaluations. Ignoring the complexity of co-occurring conditions will have detrimental effects in research, counteracting our understanding of the etiology behind ASD and the development of evidence-based, comprehensive treatment strategies.
