Anxiety, depression, and irritability in children with autism relative to other neuropsychiatric disorders and typical development / Susan DICKERSON MAYES in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-1 (January-March 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 5-1 (January-March 2011) . - p.474-485 Titre : Anxiety, depression, and irritability in children with autism relative to other neuropsychiatric disorders and typical development Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Susan DICKERSON MAYES, Auteur ; Susan L. CALHOUN, Auteur ; Michael J. MURRAY, Auteur ; Meesha AHUJA, Auteur ; Laura A. SMITH, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.474-485 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Anxiety Depression Irritability Autism ADHD Retardation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Maternal ratings of anxiety, depression, and irritability were analyzed in 1390 children (6–16 years of age), including 233 children with high functioning autism (HFA, IQ ≥ 80), 117 children with low functioning autism (LFA, IQ < 80), 187 typical children, and 853 children with other disorders. As a group, children with HFA were characterized as irritable and anxious, and children with LFA and ADHD-combined type were irritable only. Children with anxiety disorders were anxious only. Children with major depression or dysthymic disorder were depressed and irritable. Elevated levels of irritability, anxiety, or depression were not found in ADHD-inattentive type, mental retardation, brain injury, or typical development. The frequency of parent reported anxiety symptoms was similar for children with an anxiety disorder and HFA, though some symptoms were more severe in children with anxiety disorders. Children with depression had more frequent and more severe depressive symptoms than children with HFA. Mothers of 54% of children with HFA and 42% with LFA reported depressed mood in their children. Percentages were higher for anxiety (79% and 67%) and irritability (88% and 84%). These remarkably high percentages justify routinely assessing all children with autism for depression, anxiety, and irritability.

Assessing adolescent social competence using the Social Responsiveness Scale: Should we ask both parents or will just one do? / Amanda M. PEARL in Autism, 17-6 (November 2013)

The Social Responsiveness Scale is one of a few that can be used. This study compared differences between mother and father reports of social competence of adolescents. Data were collected from parents of 50 adolescents with and without an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis between the ages of 12 and 17 years. The Social Responsiveness Scale demonstrated high interrater reliability between parents. These results suggest that the Social Responsiveness Scale is an efficient and valuable tool for researchers and clinicians to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of an individual’s social skills deficits. Additionally, given the extremely high agreement between mothers and fathers on the ratings of their children’s social competence, obtaining data from either parent is sufficient to provide an accurate reflection of social competence at home.

Assessment of global functioning in adolescents with autism spectrum disorders: Utility of the Developmental Disability–Child Global Assessment Scale / Susan W. WHITE in Autism, 18-4 (May 2014)

SCHRY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.362-369 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescents  autism  global functioning  treatment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Assessment of global functioning is an important consideration in treatment outcome research; yet, there is little guidance on its evidence-based assessment for children with autism spectrum disorders. This study investigated the utility and validity of clinician-rated global functioning using the Developmental Disability–Child Global Assessment Scale in a sample of higher functioning adolescents with autism spectrum disorders and comorbid anxiety disorders enrolled in a randomized controlled trial (n = 30). Pretreatment Developmental Disability–Child Global Assessment Scale scores correlated with severity of autism spectrum disorders core symptoms (r = ?.388, p = .034), pragmatic communication (r = .407, p = .032), and verbal ability (r = .449, p = .013) and did not correlate with severity of anxiety symptoms or with parent-reported adaptive behavior. Change in Developmental Disability–Child Global Assessment Scale scores during treatment was associated with autism spectrum disorders symptomatic improvement (r = .414, p = .040) and with improved general communication (r = .499, p = .013). Results support the importance of assessing global functioning in addition to symptom change and treatment response in clinical trials.

Brief Report: Excellent Agreement Between Two Brief Autism Scales (Checklist for Autism Spectrum Disorder and Social Responsiveness Scale) Completed Independently by Parents and the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised / Michael J.

Our study is consistent with others showing that brief scales like the CASD and SRS have strong psychometric support and compare favorably with the ADI-R. The CASD and SRS are each completed and scored in 15 min, whereas the ADI-R takes over 2 h to administer and score. The CASD and SRS offer a valid and cost effective alternative to lengthy and expensive measures and, by virtue of their brevity and simplicity, could facilitate diagnosis, access to treatment, and research.
