This study investigated whether imitation performance in two different contexts (structured-elicited vs. social-interactive) was differentially related to attention-following, social reciprocity, language, and play in children with ASD. This study used a concurrent, correlational design to investigate the relationships between these skills in 23, 2–4-year-old children with autism. Participants imitated more actions on the structured-elicited than social-interactive task. After controlling for developmental level, imitation in the structured-elicited condition was correlated with vocabulary size and imitation in the social-interactive condition was correlated with vocabulary size, social reciprocity, and symbolic play. These findings suggest different skills may underlie imitation in different contexts. In addition, while imitation in both contexts appears to be important for vocabulary development at this age, imitation in a social context may be more important in the development of symbolic play skills.

Factors influencing adjustment in siblings of children with autism spectrum disorders / Katherine MEYER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-4 (October-December 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 5-4 (October-December 2011) . - p.1413-1420 Titre : Factors influencing adjustment in siblings of children with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Katherine MEYER, Auteur ; Brooke R. INGERSOLL, Auteur ; David Z. HAMBRICK, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.1413-1420 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Sibling adjustment  Broader autism phenotype Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Siblings of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) may be at an increased risk of adjustment problems. To examine possible predictors of adjustment difficulties in siblings, 70 mothers with at least one child with ASD and one typical child completed surveys of symptom severity in the child with ASD, impact of the child with ASD on the sibling, maternal depression, and broader autism phenotype (BAP) and behavioral adjustment in the typical sibling. A path analysis indicated that symptom severity in the children with ASD was positively associated with adjustment difficulties in the typical siblings; this relationship was mediated by maternal depression, but not sibling impact. Further, greater expression of the BAP in the siblings was associated with more adjustment difficulties, and this relationship was moderated by autism severity in the children with ASD, such that the relationship was stronger at high levels of ASD severity than at lower levels. These findings highlight the importance of assessing functioning of all family members when working with individuals with ASD and their families.

Increased rates of depressed mood in mothers of children with ASD associated with the presence of the broader autism phenotype / Brooke R. INGERSOLL in Autism Research, 4-2 (April 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 4-2 (April 2011) . - p.143-148 Titre : Increased rates of depressed mood in mothers of children with ASD associated with the presence of the broader autism phenotype Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Brooke R. INGERSOLL, Auteur ; Katherine MEYER, Auteur ; Mark W. BECKER, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.143-148 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : broader autism phenotype  depressed mood  parenting stress Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined the relationship between the broader autism phenotype (BAP) and depressed mood in mothers of children with and without autism spectrum disorders (ASD). One hundred and sixty-five mothers (71 with an ASD child and 94 with a non-ASD child) completed a survey of child autism severity (ASD mothers only), parenting stress, BAP, and depression. Mothers of children with ASD reported greater depressed mood, higher parenting stress, and more characteristics associated with the BAP than mothers of children without ASD. For mothers of children with ASD, the BAP uniquely predicted number of depressive symptoms after controlling for child autism severity and parenting stress. In the full sample, the relationship between group status and depressed mood was no longer significant after controlling for parenting stress and maternal BAP. These findings suggest that the higher rate of depression found in mothers of children with ASD may be attributed both to the increased stress of raising a child with ASD, as well as a greater number of autistic features in the mothers that may place them at higher risk for developing depression.
