This qualitative study explored explanatory models used by parents of children with autism. In-depth interviews were conducted with 13 parents of children with autism from a medical center in Taiwan. Despite high educational background, most of these parents attributed their child’s autism to both biomedical and supernatural etiologies without apparent conflicts. These parents chose a wide variety of treatment strategies, including biomedical and alternative treatments, which often created time/energy pressures and financial burden, and were influenced by parents’ cause attribution. Parents’ illness explanations influence their treatment selections and need to be understood and accepted by health care providers.

Toddler autism screening questionnaire: Development and potential clinical validity / Wen-Che TSAI in Autism, 16-4 (July 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 16-4 (July 2012) . - p.340-349 Titre : Toddler autism screening questionnaire: Development and potential clinical validity Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Wen-Che TSAI, Auteur ; Wei-Tsuen SOONG, Auteur ; Yea-Ing Lotus SHYU, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.340-349 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic disorder  pre-school children  psychometrics  questionnaires  screening Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : No feasible screening instrument is available for early detection of children with autism in Taiwan. The existing instruments may not be appropriate for use in Taiwan due to different health care systems and child-rearing cultures. The purpose of this study was to develop and test a screening questionnaire for generic autism. The initial 18-item screening questionnaire was developed by a child psychiatrist using face-to-face interviews with 10 families of children with autism and then tested on a sample of families of 18 children with autism and of 59 typically developing children. Of these 18 items, 15 had fair or better item discrimination (kappa >0.20) and were selected for the revised screening questionnaire. In the revised questionnaire, cutoff scores of 5 and 6 offered 100% sensitivity and 96.5% specificity, with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.983. The revised screening instrument has high sensitivity and specificity, making it potentially useful for screening Taiwanese children at risk for autism. This instrument should be further tested in a population-based study.
