Using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, 725 patients with ASD-alone, 5694 with ADHD-alone, 466 with ASD + ADHD, and 27,540 (1:4) age-/gender-matched controls were enrolled in our study. The risk of psychiatric comorbidities was investigated. The ADHD + ASD group had the greatest risk of developing schizophrenia (hazard ratio [HR]: 95.89; HR: 13.73; HR: 174.61), bipolar disorder (HR: 74.93; HR: 19.42; HR: 36.71), depressive disorder (HR: 17.66; HR: 12.29; HR: 9.05), anxiety disorder (HR: 49.49; HR: 50.92; HR: 14.12), disruptive behavior disorder (HR: 113.89; HR: 93.87; HR: 26.50), and tic disorder (HR: 8.95; HR: 7.46; HR: 4.87) compared to the ADHD-alone, ASD-alone, and control groups. Patients with ADHD + ASD were associated with the greatest risk of having comorbid bipolar disorder, depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, disruptive behavior disorder, and tic disorder. The diagnoses of ASD and ADHD preceded the diagnoses of other psychiatric comorbidities. A comprehensive interview scrutinizing the psychiatric comorbidities would be suggested when encountering and following patients with both ASD and ADHD in clinical practice.

Twenty-one adolescents with HFASD and 27 typically developing adolescents, matched on age, school year and gender distribution, completed negotiation strategy and conflict resolution questionnaires designed to measure the negotiation factors and the conflict resolution styles used during conflict situations. The participants with HFASD reported fewer negotiation skills as reflected by lower self-confidence, lower cooperation, less communication and fewer compromise skills. The decreased use of negotiation strategies by adolescents with HFASD may be related to their difficulty in attributing mental states to others, and may impact their ability to deal with social conflicts and create positive interactions and rewarding relationships.

In this study, we adopted the Single Display Groupware (SDG) concept to develop the Multiple Cursor Collaborative Operating Program (MCCOP) software, which allows multiple users to operate a single computer simultaneously without interfering with each other. With the implementation of MCCOP software, users control their own cursors to perform a function in their respective cursor moving areas on a single display. A collaborative pointing test software (CPTS) program was designed in this experiment to evaluate participants’ collaborative pointing performance. This study adopted an ABAB design, and the experimental results show that all participants significantly increased their collaborative pointing performance during the intervention phase, compared to the baseline phase. Practical and developmental implications of the findings are discussed.

Self-reported awareness and coping behaviors of low back pain among institutional caregivers for people with intellectual, autistic and associated multiple disabilities / Shang-Wei HSU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 10 (February 2015)

A cross-sectional survey was conducted to recruit 1073 caregivers (response rate of 89.5%) from 15 medium to large disability welfare institutions in this study. This study specifically developed a scale to examine objective (10 question items) and subjective knowledge (one question item) of LBP and its coping behaviors (10 question items). The mean score of objective knowledge of LBP was 7.15 (range of 0–10; over 70% correct). A total of 54.2% of respondents expressed that they had a low level of subjective knowledge of LBP, and 45.8% or respondents had a high level. The study also found that many objective knowledge items need to be improved in future health promotion initiatives regarding LBP. Without adjusting for other factors, the study indicated that those caregivers with more subjective LBP knowledge were more likely to adopt higher levels of LBP coping behaviors than their counterparts (OR = 1.536, 95% CI = 1.152–2.046). After adjusting for demographics, working conditions and health status factors, LBP knowledge was not statistically correlated with LBP coping behaviors. Caregivers who worked more days per week (OR = 1.984, 95% CI = 1.408–2.795), had break time on duty (OR = 2.457, 95% CI = 1.5–4.025), exercised regularly (OR = 1.594, 95% CI = 1.115–2.28), had poor health status (OR = 0.497, 95% CI = 0.249–0.995), or had a history of LBP (OR = 1.433, 95% CI = 1.008–2.039) were more likely to adopt higher levels of coping behaviors than their counterparts. This study highlights that institutional managers should pay attention to factors that influence LBP coping behaviors in caregivers, and future studies should examine the effects of the characteristics of care recipients and caregivers’ families on caregivers’ perception of LBP.

The current study examined the relationship between anxiety and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, sleep problems, and challenging behavior in a sample of children and adolescents with ASD, aged 6–17 years. Parental measures were completed by 109 parents of children and adolescents with ASD. Significant positive correlations were found between anxiety and GI symptoms, and anxiety and sleep problems. A hierarchal linear regression indicated that demographic variables, GI symptoms, sleep problems, and challenging behavior accounted for 34% of the variance in anxiety, with sleep, severity of self-injurious behavior, age, and diagnosis of intellectual disability emerging as significant predictors. The findings suggest that these factors should be considered during clinical practice as they may serve as important alerts for clinicians to consider assessing for anxiety disorders. Future research should investigate these variables further by examining their associations with specific types of anxiety disorders.

Atypical modulation of hypothalamic activity by social context in ASD / Thierry CHAMINADE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 10 (February 2015)

They believed they were playing against three different opponents: a Human, a Robot endowed with an artificial intelligence attempting to win the game, and a Computer running a random number generator. No differences between ASD and CTL reached significance in canonical mentalizing regions, in the medial prefrontal cortex and right temporoparietal junction. In contrast, activity in a cluster located in the left hypothalamus, attributed to the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PHN), increased in the CTL, but not ASD, group when participants played against the human compared to the artificial agent. The left temporoparietal junction (lTPJ), that has been previously associated with anthropomorphization, influenced this PHN cluster activity differently between groups, with a significantly negative functional connectivity when CTL played against the robot and when ASD participants played against the human. Brain activity results are consistent with the hypothesis that hypothalamus-secreted neurohormones, including oxytocin, could support motivation for social interactions and be impaired in autism. Brain connectivity results suggest that cortical encoding of social context information, putatively related to anthropomorphism, has a reversed effect on hypothalamus activity in autism.

In the contexts of simple short stories, the authors studied autistic children's comprehension of metaphors in the fashion of “X is Y” and metonyms in the fashion of “X metonymically refers to Y”. Furthermore, the authors examined the semantic role of receptive vocabulary in metaphor and metonymy comprehension in autistic children, and compared it to that in typically developing (TD) children matched to chronological age, verbal IQ, performance IQ and total IQ. It was found that Chinese children with HFA exhibited lower competence in metonymy comprehension than in metaphor comprehension; semantic knowledge was correlated with the comprehension of metaphor rather than that of metonymy; Chinese children with HFA were capable to retrieve similarities between the two terms of the metaphor and construct conventional match relations, but not so capable as the TD peers; the static knowledge of the receptive vocabulary of autistic children cannot fully and effectively predict their performance on metaphor tasks, presumably because they represent semantic knowledge and process information in a manner distinct from TD children.

Comparisons to the well-being of 98 mothers of typically developing children were also drawn. Regression analyses showed that disengagement and distraction coping predicted poor well-being, whereas cognitive reframing showed a correlation with better well-being levels. A significant correlation was found between child's behavioral problems and maternal well-being. T-test analyses revealed that mothers of children with ASD differed in terms of coping styles used. Additionally, mothers of children with ASD showed lower levels of perceived social support. Well-being was significantly better for mothers of typically developing children.

Comparisons to the well-being of 98 mothers of typically developing children were also drawn. Regression analyses showed that disengagement and distraction coping predicted poor well-being, whereas cognitive reframing showed a correlation with better well-being levels. A significant correlation was found between child's behavioral problems and maternal well-being. T-test analyses revealed that mothers of children with ASD differed in terms of coping styles used. Additionally, mothers of children with ASD showed lower levels of perceived social support. Well-being was significantly better for mothers of typically developing children. Study limitations and implications are discussed. En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.rasd.2014.11.003 Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=260

Work performance skills in adults with and without high functioning autism spectrum disorders (HFASD) / Eynat GAL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 10 (February 2015)

Initial internal consistency reliability for the AWSQ has been established. The purpose of this study was to examine its discriminate validity between people with HFASD to controls with Typical Development (TD). The AWSQ was completed by a convenience sample of 102 TD subjects (25 women, 77 men) and 37 subjects with HFASD (7 women, 30 men), both groups were aged 20–40. From the TD sample, 37 individuals were further matched to those with HFASD. Significant differences were found between the work skills of people with and without HFASD. Differences were found in almost all the domains of the AWSQ. Significant correlations were found between the different categories among people without HFASD as opposed to a small number of correlations among people with HFASD. These findings suggest a unique working profile among those with HFASD, in comparison to the TD sample, and highlight the importance of assessing their unique abilities and challenges in order to provide people with HFASD with a job that matches their interests and working profiles.

Salivary cortisol levels and challenging behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder / Sinéad LYDON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 10 (February 2015)

HUGHES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.78-92 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Stress  Cortisol  Challenging behavior  Stereotypy  Repetitive behavior Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A relationship between stress and challenging behavior in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been theorized but infrequently examined empirically. The current study sought to examine the relationship between a parent-reported measure of stress, a physiological measure of stress (diurnal salivary cortisol), and various topographies of challenging behavior among 61 children and adolescents diagnosed with ASD between the ages of three and 18 years. Significant differences in cortisol levels between those engaging in high and low rates of stereotyped behavior were observed such that higher levels of stereotypy appeared an overt manifestation of higher levels of stress. A comparison between a subset of participants with ASD and typically developing peers matched on age, gender, and pubertal status failed to yield any differences in diurnal cortisol levels or cortisol variability between the two groups. The results of the current study suggest that similar levels of stress may exist among children with autism and their typically developing peers, but that for a subset of individuals with ASD, stereotyped behavior may be an indicator of elevated cortisol levels.

Genetic variation in serotonin transporter modulates tactile hyperresponsiveness in ASD / Kimberly B. SCHAUDER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 10 (February 2015)

Specifically, the serotonin transporter (5-HTT, SERT) has been scrutinized as an ASD candidate risk gene. SERT plays key roles in the development of circuits that underlie sensory function, particularly in the somatosensory system. One previous study in ASD found association of a rare, hyperfunctional SERT variant with sensory aversion, but studies of common SERT variants have never examined sensory symptoms in ASD. Using standardized caregiver assessments of sensory function in children, we evaluated patterns of sensory responsiveness in 47 children with ASD and 38 typically developing (TD) children. Study participants were genotyped for the functional SERT promoter polymorphisms, 5-HTTLPR and rs25531, to test the hypothesis that the higher expressing genotypes would be associated with hyperresponsiveness to touch, a common sensory aversion in ASD. All measures of sensory hypo- and hyperresponsiveness were increased in children with ASD, with hyporesponsive sensory patterns negatively correlated to age and hyperresponsive sensory patterns positively correlated to repetitive behavior. Strikingly, high-expressing SERT genotypes were associated with increased tactile hyperresponsiveness in the ASD group. Our findings indicate genetic variation that increases SERT function may specifically impact somatosensory processing in ASD.

According to a variety of experimental procedures, many of them can be classified into two types according to the modality of their stimuli and responses. These are intramodal (visual stimulus–visual stimulus) and cross-modal (auditory stimulus–visual stimulus) matching. Previous studies tested both intramodal and cross-modal matching only in adolescents with ASD, although young children with ASD have also been found to have difficulties with cross-modal matching but not intramodal matching. The purpose of this study was to compare the intramodal and cross-modal matching of emotional expression in young children with ASD and typically developing (TD) children. Ten children with ASD aged 4–8 and 22 developmental age (DA)-matched TD children aged 3–6 participated in this study. Pictures of facial expressions were used as visual stimuli, and affective prosodies were used as auditory stimuli. The results showed that the children with ASD were less accurate than the TD children in cross-modal matching but equally accurate on intramodal matching. These findings are discussed along with the modality of stimuli and responses, and the ages of the participants.

Fear of being laughed at with relation to parent attachment in individuals with autism / Ching-Lin WU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 10 (February 2015)

Past studies show that individuals with autism are subjected to being laughed at and that they tend to worry about being laughed at or ridiculed, but empirical studies investigating the interactions of individuals with autism with parents and these connections between these interactions and gelotophobia have been lacking. The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of gelotophobia in individuals with autism and to determine how these characteristics are connected to parental attachment. This study was conducted on 101 students of average intelligence with autism and 163 without autism, with homogeneous ages and gender ratios between the groups. The methods of research consisted of the PhoPhiKat-TC questionnaire and the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA). Compared to students without autism, students with autism were found to exhibit a higher level of fear and dislike of being laughed at but showed no difference from students without autism in enjoying laughing at others. In addition, gelotophobia in students with autism was related to attachment to the student's father but not attachment to the mother, thereby implicating a role for paternal interactions in its development. To decrease the tendency that adolescents with autism have towards exhibiting gelotophobia, this study suggests improving child–father interactions through parent education.

Method The valid data were obtained from a convenience sample of 379 mothers, on behalf of their children with ASD. Four assessment tools were used to collect data: KIDSCREEN health-related quality of life questionnaire short version (KIDSCREEN-SV), to assess HRQoL; screening tool of feeding problems (STEP), to assess the feeding problems; brief autism mealtime behaviour inventory (BAMBI), to assess mealtime problems; and feeding strategies questionnaire (FSQ), to assess parental feeding strategies/practices. A stepwise multiple regression analysis was run to determine the effects of predictor parameters (feeding problems, mealtime problems and feeding strategies/practices) on the HRQoL of children with ASD. Results The multiple-regression analysis yielded three regression models. BAMBI (mealtime problems), FSQ (feeding strategies) and STEP (feeding problems) explained 11% of the total variance of HRQoL in a significant way. The amount of explained variance, beta score and correlation value suggest that BAMBI (mealtime problems) is the most significant predictor of HRQoL of children with ASD. Conclusion The study provides evidence that feeding problems, mealtime problems and feeding strategies, play a significant and predictive role on HRQoL. Consequently, eliminating feeding and mealtime problems and ameliorating parental feeding strategies/practices may promote the HRQoL of children with ASD.
