Titre : Association between depression and anxiety in high-functioning children with autism spectrum disorders and maternal mood symptoms Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Carla A. MAZEFSKY, Auteur ; Donald P. OSWALD, Auteur ; Caitlin M. CONNER, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.120-127 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism Asperger's-disorder psychiatric-comorbidity anxiety depression mood-disorders familial-aggregation maternal-symptoms Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research suggests that children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and their relatives have high rates of depression and anxiety. However, relatively few studies have looked at both factors concurrently. This study examined the potential relationship between maternal mood symptoms and depression and anxiety in their children with ASD. Participants were 31 10- to 17-year-old children with an ASD diagnosis that was supported by gold-standard measures and their biological mothers. Mothers completed the Autism Comorbidity Interview to determine whether the child with ASD met criteria for any depressive or anxiety diagnoses and a questionnaire of their own current mood symptoms. As expected, many children with ASD met criteria for lifetime diagnoses of depressive (32%) and anxiety disorders (39%). Mothers' report of their own current mood symptoms revealed averages within the normal range, though there was significant variability. Approximately 75% of children with ASD could be correctly classified as having a depressive or anxiety disorder history or not based on maternal symptoms of interpersonal sensitivity, hostility, phobic anxiety, depression, and anxiety. The results provide preliminary evidence that maternal mood symptoms may be related to depression and anxiety in their children with ASD. Although the design did not allow for testing of heritability per se, the familial transmission patterns were generally consistent with research in typical populations. While larger follow-up studies are needed, this research has implications for prevention and intervention efforts.

Titre : Behavioral Treatments for Anxiety in Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Susan W. WHITE, Auteur ; Caitlin M. CONNER, Auteur ; Brenna B. MADDOX, Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Importance : p.171-192 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder anxiety emotion mindfulness acceptance adult Index. décimale : PAR-B PAR-B - Anxiété Résumé : Abstract Although Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is most often identified during early childhood, it is becoming increasingly apparent that recognition can be delayed and that initial diagnosis of ASD can occur during adulthood. As Lai and Baron-Cohen proposed, adult identification may be due to an increasing public awareness of ASD as well as a broadening of the diagnostic criteria to include higher functioning individuals who would likely not be seen as having sufficiently severe symptoms during childhood to warrant a diagnosis. Regardless of the underlying causes for the increased, and still increasing, number of adults with ASD and heightened recognition of the disorder in adulthood, it is abundantly clear that more research is needed to inform effective treatment of co-occurring mental health conditions in adults with ASD, including anxiety disorders. In this chapter, we describe the presentation and prevalence of anxiety disorders in adults with ASD and evidence-informed approaches to assess and treat anxiety in this population.

CONNER, Auteur ; Susan W. WHITE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1279-1284 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The transition to postsecondary education is characterized by many changes for adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A data-based understanding of a student?s readiness for postsecondary education could help students, and their parents, better prepare for this life transition. The Transition Readiness Scale (TRS) was created to address this need. The TRS is a self/other-report questionnaire used to assess postsecondary readiness across behavioral, cognitive, and emotional domains among adolescents 15-18 years of age. The present study details measure development and provides preliminary psychometric properties in a sample of transition-aged youth with ASD. Results indicate strong internal consistency, adequate item-level analyses, and discriminant and concurrent validity. Future validation of the TRS in large-scale field testing is merited to inform clinical interpretation.

Developed in the 1960s and 1970s, CBT is an evidence-based amalgamation of cognitive and behavioral therapy components that aim to address maladaptive thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to promote symptom reduction through a collaborative therapeutic relationship. CBT has also been adapted for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); however, the primary focus of most treatment studies to date has focused on children with ASD and co-occurring anxiety. CBT programs for other psychiatric comorbid conditions in ASD are now emerging. Specific adaptations to traditional CBT, practical implications for clinicians, and suggestions for future directions for research will be highlighted.

CONNER, Auteur ; Carla A. MAZEFSKY, Auteur ; Shaun M. EACK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102401 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Quality of life Social participation Depression Anxiety Employment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Quality of life is an important outcome to autistic individuals. However, the correlates of quality of life in this population are not well known. The purpose of this project was to investigate the extent to which employment, depression, anxiety, and social participation were associated with quality of life in autistic individuals. We also explored potential associations between emotion dysregulation and quality of life. Method Baseline data from two randomized control trials were used for analysis. A total of 125 autistic adolescents and adults aged 16-45 (M = 25.40) participated. Linear regression models were constructed to investigate whether employment, depression, anxiety, and social participation were associated with five domains of quality of life: overall, physical health, psychological, social relationships, and environment. Additional linear regression models explored whether emotion dysregulation was associated with the same quality of life domains. Results Surprisingly, employment was not significantly associated with any quality of life domain. Greater depression severity was significantly associated with poorer quality of life across all domains. Greater social participation was associated with better quality of life, but only for individuals with lower anxiety. More severe dysphoria was associated with poorer overall quality of life and the psychological and physical health domains. Conclusions Results suggest that mental health and emotion dysregulation are important predictors of quality of life for autistic people. They also suggest that anxiety symptoms may attenuate the beneficial effects of social participation. This study provides insight into the unique experiences of autistic individuals and highlights potential unmet need.
