Strong evidence for the reliability and stability of the diagnosis was obtained. Diagnostic agreement between clinicians was higher for the broader discrimination of autism spectrum vs. no autism spectrum than for the more specific discrimination of autism vs. PDD-NOS. The diagnosis of autism at age 2 was more stable than the diagnosis of PDD-NOS at the same age. Social deficits and delays in spoken language were the most prominent DSM-IV characteristics evidenced by very young children with autism.

Gastrointestinal Dysfunction in Autism: Parental Report, Clinical Evaluation, and Associated Factors / Phillip GORRINDO in Autism Research, 5-2 (April 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 5-2 (April 2012) . - p.101-108 Titre : Gastrointestinal Dysfunction in Autism: Parental Report, Clinical Evaluation, and Associated Factors Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Phillip GORRINDO, Auteur ; Dean C. WILLIAMS, Auteur ; Evon B. LEE, Auteur ; Lynn S. WALKER, Auteur ; Susan G. MCGREW, Auteur ; Pat LEVITT, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.101-108 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  constipation  diet  functional gastrointestinal disorders  nonverbal communication  social behavior Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The objectives of this study were to characterize gastrointestinal dysfunction (GID) in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), to examine parental reports of GID relative to evaluations by pediatric gastroenterologists, and to explore factors associated with GID in ASD. One hundred twenty-one children were recruited into three groups: co-occurring ASD and GID, ASD without GID, and GID without ASD. A pediatric gastroenterologist evaluated both GID groups. Parents in all three groups completed questionnaires about their child's behavior and GI symptoms, and a dietary journal. Functional constipation was the most common type of GID in children with ASD (85.0%). Parental report of any GID was highly concordant with a clinical diagnosis of any GID (92.1%). Presence of GID in children with ASD was not associated with distinct dietary habits or medication status. Odds of constipation were associated with younger age, increased social impairment, and lack of expressive language (adjusted odds ratio in nonverbal children: 11.98, 95% confidence interval 2.54–56.57). This study validates parental concerns for GID in children with ASD, as parents were sensitive to the existence, although not necessarily the nature, of GID. The strong association between constipation and language impairment highlights the need for vigilance by health-care providers to detect and treat GID in children with ASD. Medications and diet, commonly thought to contribute to GID in ASD, were not associated with GID status. These findings are consistent with a hypothesis that GID in ASD represents pleiotropic expression of genetic risk factors.

Neurocognitive and Behavioral Outcomes of Younger Siblings of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder at Age Five / Zachary WARREN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-3 (March 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 42-3 (March 2012) . - p.409-418 Titre : Neurocognitive and Behavioral Outcomes of Younger Siblings of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder at Age Five Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Zachary WARREN, Auteur ; Jennifer H.

This study examined age five neurocognitive and behavioral outcomes of 39 younger siblings of children with ASD (Sibs-ASD) and 22 younger siblings of typically developing children (Sibs-TD) previously assessed in a longitudinal investigation starting in the second year of life. There were few group differences between Sibs-TD and Sibs-ASD on global measures of IQ, language, or behavior problems. Sibs-ASD did show vulnerabilities on measures of executive functioning, social cognition, and repetitive behaviors. These results highlight the importance of following sibling risk groups over an extended time period and employing measures targeting broader aspects of development.
