ADHD Symptoms in Adults with Asperger’s Disorder: Findings from a Sample in Japan / Taisei OHNO in Autism - Open Access, 4-3 ([01/06/2014])  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism - Open Access > 4-3 [01/06/2014] . - 4 p. Titre : ADHD Symptoms in Adults with Asperger’s Disorder: Findings from a Sample in Japan Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Taisei OHNO, Auteur ; Masayuki TANI, Auteur ; Miki IGARASHI, Auteur ; Yuka OKAJIMA, Auteur ; Nobumasa KATO, Auteur ; Akira IWANAMI, Auteur Article en page(s) : 4 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asperger’s disorder  PDD  ADHD  CAARS  AQ Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Introduction: DSM-IV and ICD-10 criteria do not allow co-diagnosis of Pervasive Developmental Disorders(PDD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), but some researchers have noted that persons with PDD including Asperger’s disorder (AS) sometimes have symptoms similar to those of ADHD. The present study evaluated ADHD symptoms in adults with AS using Conner’s Adult ADHD Rating Scales screening version (CAARS-S:SV) in a Japanese sample. Methods: The present study evaluated ADHD symptoms in 40 adults with AS and 38 normal adults using CAARS-S:SV, Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ), Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ), and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ). The AS and the normal control group did not differ significantly in age, sex ratio, or estimated IQ. Results: Total, Inattention/Memory, and Hyperactivity/Restlessness scores of CAARS-S:SV were significantly higher in persons with AS than those in controls. In persons with AS, there was no significant correlation among three CAARS-S: SV scores and AQ. Discussion: These findings indicated that adults with AS have considerable ADHD symptoms, as well as in childhood and adolescence reported in previous reports. The results that in persons with AS total score of AQ was not correlated with CAARS scores indicated that ASD and ADHD have different pathophysiology.

Task dependent prefrontal dysfunction in persons with Asperger's disorder investigated with multi-channel near-infrared spectroscopy / Akira IWANAMI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-3 (July-September 2011)

In the present study, we used multi-channel near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to detect changes in the oxygenated hemoglobin concentration ([oxy-Hb]) during two verbal fluency tasks. The subjects were 20 individuals with Asperger's disorder and 18 age- and IQ-matched healthy controls. The relative [oxy-Hb] in the prefrontal cortex was measured during the category and letter fluency tasks. The mean total [oxy-Hb] during the category fluency task did not differ significantly between the groups; however, during the letter fluency task, the mean [oxy-Hb] in persons with Asperger's disorder was significantly lower than that in controls. These results suggested task-relevant or task-specific prefrontal dysfunction in persons with Asperger's disorder.
