Capturing change in restricted and repetitive behaviour in preschoolers with ASD: A comparison of direct behavioural observation and parent report / Naisan RAJI in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 66-11 (November 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 66-11 (November 2025) . - p.1736-1747 Titre : Capturing change in restricted and repetitive behaviour in preschoolers with ASD: A comparison of direct behavioural observation and parent report Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Naisan RAJI, Auteur ; Janina KITZEROW-CLEVEN, Auteur ; Ziyon KIM, Auteur ; Solvejg K.

However, change sensitivity has not been systematically investigated among commonly used measures, albeit its importance for clinical trials and longitudinal studies. Methods Longitudinal data resulting from behavioural observation (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2, ADOS-2; Brief Observation of Social Communication Change, BOSCC) and parent report (Restricted Behaviour Scale-Revised, RBS-R) was collected for 134 toddlers and preschoolers aged 25?65?months diagnosed with ASD by the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) and ADOS-2. Change sensitivity was estimated using the reliable-change index and developmental trajectories of RRB by linear mixed models and k-means clustering. Results The RBS-R identified significantly more reliable change in RRB severity compared to ADOS-2 and BOSCC. For all measures, except the RBS-R self-injurious behaviour subscale, three distinct RRB trajectories were found as follows: increasing, stable and decreasing RRB severity. Overlap was low between trajectory group assignment across measures, as were cross-sectional correlations between ADI-R, ADOS-2, BOSCC and RBS-R. Trajectory group comparisons among measures mostly showed lower baseline RRB severity in the increasing trajectory groups and higher baseline RRB severity in the decreasing trajectory groups. The trajectory groups did not differ in age or nonverbal IQ across RRB measures, except for the RBS-R compulsive behaviour subscale, which had higher nonverbal IQ in the decreasing trajectory group. Conclusions The dimensional questionnaire RBS-R compared to ADOS-2 and BOSCC is superior in capturing subtle changes in RRB during preschool age.

Early symptoms and recognition of pervasive developmental disorders in Germany / Michele NOTERDAEME in Autism, 14-6 (November 2010)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 14-6 (November 2010) . - p.575-588 Titre : Early symptoms and recognition of pervasive developmental disorders in Germany Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Michele NOTERDAEME, Auteur ; Anna HUTZELMEYER-NICKELS, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.575-588 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Pervasive developmental disorders are characterised by the presence of abnormalities in social interaction and communication as well as repetitive patterns of behaviours. Although early symptoms of the disorder often appear during the first two years of life, its diagnosis is often delayed. The purpose of this study is to analyse the delay between age at first symptoms and age at diagnosis as well as the characteristics of the first symptoms for the different subcategories of pervasive developmental disorders. The sample consists of 601 children with a diagnosis of a pervasive developmental disorder. Age at first symptoms, age at diagnosis and the type of the first problems are registered. The results show that children with autism show first symptoms at a mean age of 15 months whereas diagnosis is made at a mean age of 76 months. Children with Asperger’s syndrome show first symptoms at a mean age of 26 months, while diagnosis is made at the mean age of 110 months. There is still a large delay between the age at which parents first report first symptoms and age at diagnosis. To improve early detection, systematic screening and training of primary care paediatricians should be implemented.

Parent Information and Direct Observation in the Diagnosis of Pervasive and Specific Developmental Disorders / Michele NOTERDAEME in Autism, 6-2 (March 2002)

In this study the usefulness of a standardized parent interview (ADI-R) and a standardized observation schedule (ADOS-G) for the differential diagnosis of these two groups was assessed. Eleven children with early infantile autism and 16 children with a specific receptive language disorder participated. The parent interview was conducted with all parents and the observation schedule was administered to all children. Ten out of 11 children with autism were correctly classified as having autism on the ADI-R and the ADOS-G. One child with a receptive language disorder was falsely classified as having autism on the ADI-R, and none on the ADOS-G. Parent interview provides extensive information on the developmental course of the child. Direct observation gives an overview of actual relevant behavioural problems. The two instruments are complementary in the diagnosis of developmental disorders.

The German version of the Child Behavior Checklist 1.5–5 to identify children with a risk of autism spectrum disorder / Katharina LIMBERG in Autism, 21-2 (February 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 21-2 (February 2017) . - p.368-374 Titre : The German version of the Child Behavior Checklist 1.5–5 to identify children with a risk of autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Katharina LIMBERG, Auteur ; Karolin GRUBER, Auteur ; Michele NOTERDAEME, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.368-374 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A long delay between the first registered symptoms of autism spectrum disorder and a final diagnosis has been reported. The reasons for this are the spare use of specialized autism instruments, missing clinical expertise, and the late referral to specialized centers in primary care. Previous studies recommending the Child Behavior Checklist 1.5 5 for screening have requested additional research. A total of 183 children aged 25 71 months participated in this study. The Child Behavior Checklist scales of 80 children with autism spectrum disorder were compared with 103 children diagnosed with other psychiatric disorders. In the logistic regression analysis, the Withdrawn and Pervasive Developmental Problems Child Behavior Checklist scales with a significant predictive value of risk for an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis were identified. The optimal cutoff points T=64.5 on the Pervasive Developmental Problems scale (area under the curve=0.781, sensitivity=0.83, specificity=0.60, positive predictive value=0.62, negative predictive value=0.82, odds ratio=7) and T=60.5 on the Withdrawn scale (area under the curve=0.809, sensitivity=0.88, specificity=0.63, positive predictive value=0.65, negative predictive value=0.87, odds ratio=12) were evaluated in the receiver operating characteristics analysis. The present study confirms the utility of the German version of the Child Behavior Checklist 1.5 5 as a level 1 screening tool to identify children with a risk of autism spectrum disorder; however, a risk of over-identifying should be considered. The Child Behavior Checklist 1.5 5 can complement the pediatric examination as a quick and cost-effective questionnaire.
