MATSON, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.871-880 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  BISCUIT  Battelle Developmental Inventory  Communication  Infants Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are characterized by pervasive impairments in repetitive behaviors or interests, communication, and socialization. As the onset of these features occurs at a very young age, early detection is of the utmost importance. In an attempt to better clarify the behavioral presentation of communication and socialization deficits to aid in early assessment and intervention, impairments in these areas were examined among infants and toddlers (17–36 months) with Autistic Disorder (AD), Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS), and non-ASD related developmental delay. The Baby and Infant Screen for Children with aUtIsm Traits-Part1 (BISCUIT-Part1) and the Battelle Developmental Inventory, 2nd Edition (BDI-2) were utilized to examine communication and socialization levels, respectively, among these groups. All groups significantly differed on level of socialization impairment with the Autism group displaying the greatest impairment and the non-ASD related developmental delay group evincing the least impairment. In regards to communication deficits, the non-ASD related developmentally delayed group differed significantly in comparison to the Autism and PDD-NOS groups; however, no significant differences were found between children with AD and PDD-NOS. While communication and socialization impairments were found to significantly correlate for all participants with the exception of those with PDD-NOS, these correlations were not found to significantly differ from one another across groups. The implications, limitations, and future directions of these results are discussed.

Convergent validity of the Autism Spectrum Disorders-Diagnostic Adult (ASD-DA) with the Pervasive Developmental Disorder/Autism subscale of the Diagnostic Assessment for the Severely Handicapped-II (DASH-II) / Brian C. BELVA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)

In order to further establish the validity of this measure, convergent validity of the ASD-DA was established by comparing ASD-DA total and subscales scores with the Pervasive Developmental Disorder/Autism (PDD/Autism) subscale score on the Diagnostic Assessment for the Severely Handicapped-II (DASH-II). Data was collected from 278 adults residing in two large supports and services centers in the southeastern region of the United States. The ASD-DA total scores and all subscale scores correlated with the PDD/Autism subscale score at the p < .001 level, further supporting the validity of the ASD-DA as a valid measure of autistic symptoms in adults with ID. The implications of these findings are discussed.

How Does Relaxing the Algorithm for Autism Affect DSM-V Prevalence Rates? / Johnny L. MATSON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-8 (August 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 42-8 (August 2012) . - p.1549-1556 Titre : How Does Relaxing the Algorithm for Autism Affect DSM-V Prevalence Rates? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Johnny L. MATSON, Auteur ; Megan A. HATTIER, Auteur ; Lindsey W. WILLIAMS, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.1549-1556 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : BISCUIT  Autism  DSM-5  Prevalence Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although it is still unclear what causes autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), over time researchers and clinicians have become more precise with detecting and diagnosing ASD. Many diagnoses, however, are based on the criteria established within the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM); thus, any change in these diagnostic criteria can have a great effect upon children with ASD and their families. It is predicted that the prevalence of ASD diagnoses will dramatically decrease with the adoption of the proposed DSM-5 criteria in 2013. The aim of this current study was to inspect the changes in prevalence first using a diagnostic criteria set which was modified slightly from the DSM-5 criteria (Modified-1 criteria) and again using a set of criteria which was relaxed even a bit more (Modified-2 criteria). Modified-1 resulted in 33.77 % fewer toddlers being diagnosed with ASD compared to the DSM-IV, while Modified-2 resulted in only a 17.98 % decrease in ASD diagnoses. Children diagnosed with the DSM-5 criteria exhibited the greatest levels of autism symptomatology, but the Mod-1, Mod-2, and DSM-IV groups still demonstrated significant impairments. Implications of these findings are discussed.

The effects of informant age and education level on childhood ASD symptom endorsement / Megan A. HATTIER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-2 (February 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-2 (February 2013) . - p.398-404 Titre : The effects of informant age and education level on childhood ASD symptom endorsement Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Megan A.

ADAMS, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : p.398-404 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Mother  Autism  Age  Education  ASD-DC  Informant Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is literature suggesting that some demographic characteristics actually can influence how parents or caregivers respond on informant-based measures for their children. The current study aimed to expand that research to include analysis of the relationship of maternal age and education level on mothers' ratings of their child's ASD by inspecting the total score on the Autism Spectrum Disorders ' Diagnostic for Children (ASD-DC). We investigated biological mothers' ratings of 73 children (5'16 years of age), all of who had ASD diagnoses. Informants were classified into one of three age groups ('34 years; 35'40 years; '41 years) and one of two education groups (high school graduate; university graduate). Following a two-way ANOVA, a significant interaction effect was found for informant age group and education level on total scores of the ASD-DC. Within the '41 age group, ratings of ASD increased (indicating greater impairment) as the informants' education level increased. A reverse trend was established in the other two age groups. Further findings and implications are discussed.
