Titre : Behavioral flexibility in children with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Nienke PETERS-SCHEFFER, Auteur ; Robert DIDDEN, Auteur ; Jeff SIGAFOOS, Auteur ; Vanessa A. GREEN, Auteur ; Hubert KORZILIUS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.699-709 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Behavioral flexibility Autism spectrum disorder Intellectual disability BFRS-R Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have particular difficulty with behavioral flexibility, but the knowledge base on behavioral flexibility in children with a diagnosis of ASD plus intellectual disability (ID) compared to children with ID only is still scarce. The aim of the present study was to assess behavioral flexibility in 111 children (84 boys) with ASD (87 autistic disorder; 24 PDD-NOS) plus ID (IQ range 10.59–72.67) and compare their scores to those of a control group consisting of 65 children with ID only (42 boys). Their age range was between 2:7 and 9:11 years/months. Behavior flexibility was measured using a Dutch version of the Behavioral Flexibility Rating Scale – Revised (Green et al., 2006; Peters-Scheffer et al., 2008). Results showed that behavioral flexibility in children with ASD plus ID was predicted by autism severity, developmental age, and initiating social interaction. A lack of behavioral flexibility seems to influence emotional and behavioral problems and maternal stress, but not adaptive behavior.

Titre : Effectiveness of low intensity behavioral treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Nienke PETERS-SCHEFFER, Auteur ; Robert DIDDEN, Auteur ; Monique MULDERS, Auteur ; Hubert KORZILIUS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1012-1025 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Applied Behavior Analysis Autism spectrum disorder Intervention Discrete trial training Intellectual disability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract To determine the effectiveness of low intensity behavioral treatment (LIBT) supplementing regular treatment in young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID) standardized tests of cognition, adaptive behavior, interpersonal relations, play, language, characteristics of autism, emotional and behavioral problems, behavioral flexibility, early social communication, and maternal stress were administered in a treatment group (n = 20), receiving 4–10 h LIBT per week and a control group (n = 20) receiving treatment as usual. At baseline, no differences were found between groups (mean chronological age: 5.3 years; mean developmental age: 1.11 years) on several key variables, but after two years of intervention the treatment group outperformed the control group on IQ, developmental age, adaptive behavior, interpersonal relations, play and receptive language, and less autistic symptoms were seen in treatment group. Following intervention, no differences between groups were found on expressive language, behavioral flexibility and maternal stress. Progress in developmental age, adaptive behavior, interpersonal relations, play and receptive and expressive language was clinically and reliably significant for the majority of the LIBT group.

Titre : “I Know it’s Good to Do it”: A Qualitative Study Exploring the Perspective of Autistic Men on Social Motivation Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Silke VAN DIJK, Auteur ; Nienke PETERS-SCHEFFER, Auteur ; Robert DIDDEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1448-1459 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The social motivation hypothesis states that people with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) have a diminished social motivation, that is (1) less priority in attention for objects of social importance, (2) diminished social reward, and (3) less desire to maintain and strengthen relationships. Little is known about the perception of autistic people on their social motivation. This study used semi-structured interviews to explore how eleven autistic men perceived their social motivation, behaviour, and interactions. In the interpretative phenomenological analysis, five themes were identified: (1) social network, (2) importance of social contact, (3) challenges regarding social contact, (4) conditionality of social contact, and (5) the struggle between importance, challenges and conditionality of social contact. Social motivation appeared to be a dynamic concept that varied between individuals and contexts. Most participants struggled between valuing social contact as important and the challenges they faced on a social level over the different contexts in which they participated. Even though elements of the social motivation hypothesis were recognized, the main finding was that this struggle seemed to be the source of the diminished social motivation that was observed in some of these men. Although more research is needed, the findings of this study could imply that social motivation might not be as straightforward for autistic men as described in the social motivation hypothesis.

Titre : Maternal stress predicted by characteristics of children with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Nienke PETERS-SCHEFFER, Auteur ; Robert DIDDEN, Auteur ; Hubert KORZILIUS, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.696-706 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Maternal stress Intellectual disability Autism spectrum disorder Behavioral problems Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : To determine maternal stress and child variables predicting maternal stress, 104 mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID) completed the Dutch version of the Parental Stress Index (PSI; De Brock, Vermulst, Gerris, & Abidin, 1992) every six months over a period of two years. The level of maternal stress remained stable over time. Child characteristics predicting maternal stress are behavioral inflexibility toward objects and initiating social interactions. However, these factors do not predict maternal stress when analyzed in combination with children's emotional and behavioral problems measured on the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL; Achenbach & Rescorla, 2000). The subscales emotionally reactive behavior, withdrawn behavior and attention problems explain a third of the variance in maternal stress. This study revealed no relation between maternal stress and children's developmental age and IQ, receptive and expressive language, adaptive behavior, severity and subtype of ASD, behavioral flexibility toward the environment and persons, initiating and responding to joint attention, initiating and responding to behavioral requests, responding to social interactions and the other subscales of the CBCL. Findings are discussed in relation to the clinical and non-clinical norm groups of the PSI, the limitations of the study and clinical practice.
