Parental perceptions and concerns of weight status in children with autism spectrum disorders in Kuwait / Dalal ALKAZEMI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 22 (February 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 22 (February 2016) . - p.1-9 Titre : Parental perceptions and concerns of weight status in children with autism spectrum disorders in Kuwait Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Dalal ALKAZEMI, Auteur ; Abdur RAHMAN, Auteur ; Samira ALSAAD, Auteur ; Stan KUBOW, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Overweight and obesity  Body mass index  Dietary habits  Kuwaiti society Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorders are developmental disabilities associated with deficits in communication skills. The distinct behavioral and physical characteristics of ASD can make these individuals more vulnerable to obesity. This study evaluated the prevalence of obesity in a group of ASD children and investigated their dietary habits, and mealtime behavior. Parental perception and awareness associated with overweight and obesity was evaluated. Data was collected from 65 student-respondent dyads in a cross-sectional survey of students enrolled at the Kuwait Center for Autism. Fifty-nine percent respondents reported regular measurement of their children’s height and weight. Both healthy (daily breakfast, daily milk intake, frequent consumption of fish and seafood, and consuming fruits and vegetables) and unhealthy (consuming fast foods) dietary habits were reported by majority of respondents. Most respondents (78%) felt that their children ate a varied diet. Mood swings and hyperactivity were commonly reported mealtime behaviors in students. The findings suggest that obesity is common in children and youth with ASD in Kuwait. Monitoring and modification of dietary habits and mealtime behavior should be implemented toward tackling the problem of overweight and obesity in this population.

Disagreement between mothers’ and their sons’ with an ASD on ratings of Sensory Features / Vicki BITSIKA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 22 (February 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 22 (February 2016) . - p.10-19 Titre : Disagreement between mothers’ and their sons’ with an ASD on ratings of Sensory Features Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Vicki BITSIKA, Auteur ; Christopher F. SHARPLEY, Auteur ; Richard MILLS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.10-19 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD  Sensory Features  Children  Adolescents Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : To test for the presence of any significant differences in the assessment of Sensory Features (SF) given by the two sources, 135 boys with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) were self-assessed and also assessed by their mothers using versions of the Sensory Profile (Dunn, 1999) to measure four sensory quadrants and six sensory domains. MANOVA indicated that mothers rated their sons’ SF significantly less severely than the boys did themselves and that younger boys received more severe ratings from their mothers than older boys did. There was a significant interaction between source of assessment and age of the boys, due to the mothers assessing their older sons’ SF less severely than their younger sons but the sons showing the opposite trend in self-ratings. These findings challenge the validity of clinical assessments of SF that are based solely upon parents’ ratings and argue for a more comprehensive approach to diagnosing the presence and severity of SF in boys with an ASD.

An investigation of comorbid psychological disorders, sleep problems, gastrointestinal symptoms and epilepsy in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder: A two year follow-up / Arlene MANNION in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 22 (February 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 22 (February 2016) . - p.20-33 Titre : An investigation of comorbid psychological disorders, sleep problems, gastrointestinal symptoms and epilepsy in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder: A two year follow-up Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Arlene MANNION, Auteur ; Geraldine LEADER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.20-33 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Comorbidity  Autism spectrum disorder  Follow-up  Comorbid psychopathology  Sleep problems  Gastrointestinal symptoms  Autoimmune diseases  Epilepsy Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research has recently focused on studying comorbidity in the autism spectrum but little research has been conducted on follow-up studies or conducting longitudinal research into these conditions. Mannion, Leader, and Healy (2013) examined the frequency of comorbid disorders in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder and the predictors of sleep problems. The current study is a follow-up study conducted two years later with 56 participants. Age, gender, level of intellectual disability, presence of epilepsy, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) and an anxiety disorder were assessed, along with administering the Autism Spectrum Disorder-Comorbid for Children (ASD-CC), the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) and Gastrointestinal Symptom Inventory. The aim of the study was to determine if comorbid symptoms changed over time. An additional aim was to explore if there is a relationship between family medical history and history of autoimmune diseases, and child comorbid conditions. Sleep problems persisted in 91.5% of participants. Gastrointestinal symptoms persisted in 84.4% of participants. There was a significant difference between over-eating at baseline and at two-year follow-up, where over-eating became more severe over time. It was found that 92.9% of participants presented with a family history of autoimmune disease. The most common autoimmune diseases were osteoarthritis, psoriasis and hypothyroidism. The associations between familial autoimmune diseases and child comorbid conditions are discussed in the study.

Methods One hundred and twenty-one adults with ASD were compared to neurotypical adults, matched on age and gender. Cognitive emotion regulation was measured with the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). Anxiety and depression were measured using the Symptom Check List (SCL-90). Results The ASD group reported more use of the strategy “Other-blame” and less use of “Positive reappraisal” than the control group. A significant relationship was found between cognitive emotion regulation strategies and anxiety and depression in the ASD group. There were no differences found in the strength of the relationship between cognitive emotion regulation and anxiety and depression, except for the relationship between “Catastrophizing” and depression, which was more strongly related in neurotypical adults. Conclusion Adults with ASD do not use less cognitive emotion regulation strategies, but use more “Other-blame” and less “Positive reappraisal”. There was no difference between the ASD group and the neurotypical group regarding the strength of the relationship between the cognitive emotion regulation strategies and anxiety and depression. These results encourage the use of cognitive therapy for depression and anxiety in people with ASD.

Competition enhances mentalizing performance in autism / Heidi CHANG in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 22 (February 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 22 (February 2016) . - p.45-54 Titre : Competition enhances mentalizing performance in autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Heidi CHANG, Auteur ; Him CHEUNG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.45-54 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Theory of mind  Mentalizing  False belief  Competition  Social motivation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examines the independent effects of competition, engagement, and reward on false belief performance in children with autism. Twenty-eight 8- to 15-year-olds (mean age = 12 years) with autism were tested on a modified version of the Sally–Anne task and the Dot–Midge task in Experiment 1. In Experiment 2 we recruited thirty 8- to 16-year-olds (mean age = 12 years) with autism who were tested on the Dot–Midge task and two further versions of the Sally–Anne task comprising a reward and a reward + engagement component, respectively. Comparing the children’s performances on these tasks therefore sheds light on the relative importance of competition, engagement, and reward in their application of false belief knowledge. Nonverbal intelligence and vocabulary were also measured as covariates. The participants performed significantly better on the Dot–Midge task than all the different versions of the Sally–Anne task in the two experiments, whereas the different versions of the Sally–Anne task did not differ among themselves. The effect of task did not interact with the covariates. This result suggests a unique role of competition in the use of false beliefs in children with autism, complementing the work by Peterson, Slaughter, Peterson, and Premack (2013) which highlights the importance of social motivation.
