Categorical and Dimensional Structure of Autism Spectrum Disorders: The Nosologic Validity of Asperger Syndrome / Inge KAMP-BECKER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 40-8 (August 2010)

The aim of this study was to examine the possible clustering of responses in different symptom domains without making any assumption concerning diagnostic appreciation. About 140 children and adolescents, incorporating 52 with a diagnosis of AS, 44 with HFA, 8 with atypical autism and 36 with other diagnoses, were examined. Our study does not support the thesis that autistic disorders are discrete phenotypes. On the contrary, it provides evidence that e.g. AS and autism are not qualitatively distinct disorders, but rather different quantitative manifestations of the same disorder.

Differential Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder by Means of Inhibitory Control and ‘Theory of Mind’ / Eva BUHLER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 41-12 (December 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 41-12 (December 2011) . - p.1718-1726 Titre : Differential Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder by Means of Inhibitory Control and ‘Theory of Mind’ Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Eva BUHLER, Auteur ; Christian BACHMANN, Auteur ; Hannah GOYERT, Auteur ; Monika HEINZEL-GUTENBRUNNER, Auteur ; Inge KAMP-BECKER, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.1718-1726 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Differential diagnosis  Autism spectrum disorders (ASD)  Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)  Inhibitory control  Theory of mind Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD) are both associated with deficits in executive control and with problems in social contexts. This study analyses the variables inhibitory control and theory of mind (ToM), including a developmental aspect in the case of the latter, to differentiate between the disorders. Participants with an ASD ( N = 86), an ADHD ( N = 84) and with both disorders ( N = 52) in the age range of 5–22 years were compared. Results were differences in inhibitory control (ADHD < ASD) and in the ToM performance among younger (ASD < ADHD) but not among older children. We discuss whether common deficits in ToM differ in the developmental course.

Evaluation of the revised algorithm of Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) in the diagnostic investigation of high-functioning children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders / Inge KAMP-BECKER in Autism, 17-1 (January 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 17-1 (January 2013) . - p.87-102 Titre : Evaluation of the revised algorithm of Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) in the diagnostic investigation of high-functioning children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Inge KAMP-BECKER, Auteur ; Mardjan GHAHREMAN, Auteur ; Monika HEINZEL-GUTENBRUNNER, Auteur ; Mira PETERS, Auteur ; Helmut REMSCHMIDT, Auteur ; Katja BECKER, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : p.87-102 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ADOS  diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder  Asperger’s syndrome  high-functioning autism  sensitivity  specificity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) is a semi-structured, standardized assessment designed for use in diagnostic evaluation of individuals with suspected autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The ADOS has been effective in categorizing children who definitely have autism or not, but has lower specificity and sometimes sensitivity for distinguishing children with milder ASDs. Revised ADOS algorithms have been recently developed. The goals of this study were to analyze the predictive validity of different ADOS algorithms for module 3, in particular for high-functioning autism spectrum disorder. The participants were 252 children and adolescents aged between four and 16 years, with a full-scale IQ above 70 (126 with a diagnosis of ASD, 126 with a heterogeneous non-spectrum diagnosis). As a main finding, sensitivity was substantially higher for the newly developed ‘revised algorithm’, both for autism versus non-spectrum, as well as for the broader ASD versus non-spectrum, using the higher cut-off. The strength of the original algorithm lies in its positive predictive power, while the revised algorithm shows weaknesses in specificity for non-autism ASD. As the ADOS is valid and reliable even for higher functioning ASD, the findings of the present study have been used to make recommendations regarding the best use of ADOS algorithms in a high-functioning sample.

Inhibitory control and delay aversion in unaffected preschoolers with a positive family history of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder / Ursula PAULI-POTT in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 55-10 (October 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 55-10 (October 2014) . - p.1117-1124 Titre : Inhibitory control and delay aversion in unaffected preschoolers with a positive family history of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ursula PAULI-POTT, Auteur ; Alisa ROLLER, Auteur ; Monika HEINZEL-GUTENBRUNNER, Auteur ; Tanja MINGEBACH, Auteur ; Silke DALIR, Auteur ; Katja BECKER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1117-1124 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder  hot and cool executive functions  cognitive control  response inhibition Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background From current theories on the etiology of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), it can be inferred that delay aversion (DA) and deficits in inhibitory control (IC) constitute basic deficits or endophenotypes of the disorder that already occur in the preschool period. This implies an occurrence of the characteristics in unaffected preschoolers with a positive family history of ADHD. Thus, it is hypothesized that preschoolers who are not affected by ADHD but who have first-degree relatives who suffer, or have suffered, from ADHD show deficits in IC and heightened DA in comparison to preschoolers from the general population. Methods Thirty unaffected preschoolers with a positive family history of ADHD were compared with 30 control children matched with respect to age in months, gender, intelligence, and maternal education level. The groups also did not differ in terms of maternal depressive symptoms and the number of psychosocial family risks. A set of age-appropriate neuropsychological tasks on executive IC (e.g. Puppet Says, Day-Night, relying on Go-NoGo and interference paradigms) and DA (e.g. Snack Delay, Gift Wrap, relying on delay of gratification paradigm) was conducted. Results Unaffected preschoolers showed significantly higher DA than control children (t(29) = ?2.57, p .008). The result did not change when subclinical ADHD symptoms and symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder were controlled for (F(1,29) = 5.21, p .031). Differences in IC did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion The results are compatible with the assumption that DA constitutes a familial vulnerability marker that can be validly assessed in the preschool period. As this is the first study to address this issue in preschoolers, more research is needed to confirm and further analyze the significance of DA assessments specifically at this developmental stage.
