Do children with autism spectrum disorders have motor learning difficulties? / Jin BO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 23 (March 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 23 (March 2016) . - p.50-62 Titre : Do children with autism spectrum disorders have motor learning difficulties? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jin BO, Auteur ; Chi-Mei LEE, Auteur ; Alison COLBERT, Auteur ; Bo SHEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.50-62 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Motor adaptation  Motor sequence learning  Implicit and explicit learning Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social and communication impairments as well as a wide range of behavioral symptoms. For years, motor disturbance reported in ASD has not been treated as a core deficit because of the overwhelming problems in sociability and communication. Recent studies, however, reveal that motor deficits are also fundamental to ASD presentation and contribute to the core symptoms of ASD. Untreated motor problems can persist well into adolescence and adulthood, resulting in long-term physical, psychological, and behavioral issues in individuals with ASD. Thus, the ability to understand and address the overall picture of a child with ASD, including motor dysfunction, has become a critical need. This review focuses on sensorimotor adaptation and motor sequence learning in children with ASD and presents related evidence that compromised motor learning may play a critical role in motor dysfunctions of ASD. It addresses possible factors that explain controversial findings in the literature and discusses potential strategies for facilitating motor learning. Future intervention studies should address the importance of motor learning beyond social and language domains in ASD.

Psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Social Communication Questionnaire / Susan Shur-Fen GAU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-2 (April-June 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 5-2 (April-June 2011) . - p.809-818 Titre : Psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Social Communication Questionnaire Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Susan Shur-Fen GAU, Auteur ; Chi-Mei LEE, Auteur ; Meng-Chuan LAI, Auteur ; Yen-Nan CHIU, Auteur ; Ya-Fen HUANG, Auteur ; Jen-Der KAO, Auteur ; Yu-Yu WU, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.809-818 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ). We assessed 736 participants (male, 80.1%) aged 2–18, who were clinically diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) including autistic disorder, Asperger's disorder, or pervasive developmental disorders, not otherwise specified according to the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria. All the parents completed the Chinese versions of the SCQ. Among them, parents of 317 participants were interviewed by using the Chinese version of the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R). The exploratory factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure (social interaction, repetitive behaviors, and communication), which was further validated by the confirmatory factor analyses with an adequate fit (Goodness-of-Fit Index = 0.923; Comparative Fit Index = 0.983; root mean square error of approximation = 0.034). The test–retest reliability (intra-class correlations = 0.77–0.78), internal consistency (α = 0.73–0.91), and concurrent validity (Pearson correlation up to 0.65) were satisfactory. Children with autistic disorder had the highest scores, followed by children with Asperger's disorder who had intermediate scores and then non-ASD participants who had the lowest scores. Our findings suggest that the Chinese SCQ is a reliable and valid instrument for rating autistic symptoms in Chinese-speaking population (ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT00494754).

Sleep problems in children with autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and epilepsy / Fang-Ju TSAI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-1 (January-March 2012) . - p.413-421 Titre : Sleep problems in children with autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and epilepsy Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Fang-Ju TSAI, Auteur ; Huey-Ling CHIANG, Auteur ; Chi-Mei LEE, Auteur ; Susan Shur-Fen GAU, Auteur ; Wang-Tso LEE, Auteur ; Pi-Chuan FAN, Auteur ; Yu-Yu WU, Auteur ; Yen-Nan CHIU, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.413-421 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder  Epilepsy  Sleep problems  Children Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study aimed to examine sleep problems in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and epilepsy in clinical settings. We assessed 64 children with ASD, 64 with ADHD, 64 with epilepsy, and 64 typically developing children without any neuropsychiatric disorders by using a sex-and age-matched case–control study design. The parents reported their children's sleep problems. Parents of children with ASD and ADHD reported more current and lifetime sleep problems of their children than parents of children with epilepsy, especially in snoring and restless legs syndrome. Current or lifetime sleep problems did not differ between children with ASD and children with ADHD, or between children with epilepsy and typically developing children. Demographic characteristics and medication status could not fully explain the increased risk of sleep problems in children with ASD and ADHD. Our findings lend evidence to support more sleep problems in children with ASD and ADHD than typically developing children. Our study adds that children with epilepsy do not. These findings emphasize the importance to assess sleep problems in children with neurodevelopmental disorders highly comorbid with ASD or ADHD in clinical practice.
