Titre : Age-related differences in the prevalence and correlates of anxiety in youth with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Roma A. VASA, Auteur ; Luther G. KALB, Auteur ; Micah MAZUREK, Auteur ; Stephen M. KANNE, Auteur ; Brian FREEDMAN, Auteur ; Amy KEEFER, Auteur ; Traci E. CLEMONS, Auteur ; Donna MURRAY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1358-1369 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Anxiety Prevalence Correlate Age group Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Age-related differences in the prevalence and correlates of anxiety were cross-sectionally examined in 1316 children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who presented for initial evaluation at 14 outpatient autism centers around the country and in Canada. The prevalence of clinical and subclinical anxiety as well as the correlates of anxiety were examined in three age groups of children: preschool, school age and adolescents. Findings showed that the prevalence of anxiety in each age group exceeded the prevalence of anxiety in the general population. Adolescents and school age children had the highest prevalence of clinical (40%) and subclinical anxiety (26%), respectively. Higher IQ and less ASD severity were each weakly correlated with more anxiety in preschool and school age children. Affective symptoms were strongly associated with anxiety in each age group. Age specific psychiatric comorbidities were also present. Anxiety was associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) symptoms in the preschool group, ODD and somatic symptoms in the school age children, and ADHD symptoms in adolescents. These data underscore the need for prevention and treatment of anxiety as well as research examining the characteristics of anxiety in children with ASD using a developmental framework.

Titre : Anxiety in autistic preschool children: Phenomenology and a network analysis of correlates Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Roma A. VASA, Auteur ; Connor M. KERNS, Auteur ; Vini SINGH, Auteur ; Rachel MCDONALD, Auteur ; Yeon Sik JANG, Auteur ; Amy KEEFER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1561-1572 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Anxiety disorders in autistic children are associated with significant functional impairment. Few studies have examined impairing anxiety presentations in autistic preschool children (i.e., 3-5?years old). This cross-sectional study examined the phenomenology of impairing anxiety and the strongest correlates of anxiety in 75 autistic preschool children. Parents completed a diagnostic interview that assesses two anxiety types, DSM-5 anxiety disorders and impairing distinct anxiety presentations, and measures of anxiety correlates. An exploratory network analysis examined connections between anxiety and its correlates. Forty percent of children had impairing anxiety. Specific phobia followed by 'other social fear,' a type of distinct anxiety, were the most common anxiety types. Child intolerance of uncertainty (IU) was the only correlate that was associated with anxiety in a network analysis framework. Child IU linked anxiety to two other correlates, sensory over-responsivity and somatic symptoms. Findings emphasize the need for early intervention for anxiety and further research on its correlates.

Titre : Dysregulation in Children and Adolescents Presenting to a Multidisciplinary Autism Clinic Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Roma A.

We examined the characteristics of dysregulation in children presenting to a multidisciplinary ASD clinic for an ASD diagnostic evaluation. Sixty percent of children presenting for an ASD evaluation exhibited dysregulation. Dysregulation prevalence was higher in children without ASD versus with ASD (69% versus 56%). Severe dysregulation was higher in children without ASD (29% versus 16%). Both groups with severe dysregulation were equally likely to be taking psychiatric medications, however, children with ASD were less likely to be receiving therapy. These findings highlight the importance of implementing dysregulation screening and treatment protocols in ASD centers.

WILCOX, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2756-2763 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic disorder Injury Epidemiology Intellectual disability Emergency medicine Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Several reports suggest children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are more likely to be seen for injury-related ED visits; however, no nationally representative study has examined this question. Using data from the 2008 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample, over a quarter of all visits among those with ASD were related to injury. In the multivariate analyses, the odds of an injury-related visit was 54 % greater among those with ASD compared to youth with intellectual disability (ID), but 48 % less compared to youth without ID or ASD. Compared to all other pediatric injury-visits in the US, visits among children with ASD were more likely to be due to self-inflicted injury and poisoning and were more likely to result in hospitalization (all p < 0.001).

VASA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.121-130 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Intolerance of uncertainty (IU) is a multidimensional construct involving maladaptive responses to uncertainty. IU is strongly associated with autism and anxiety, yet no studies have examined its symptom profile in autistic children. This study compares IU symptom profiles in autistic and NT children and in autistic children with and without anxiety using the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale for Children. Compared to NT peers, autistic children exhibited heightened IU symptoms in all domains, affective, behavioral, and cognitive; affective symptoms had the highest association with autism. Autistic children with anxiety also exhibited elevated IU symptoms in all domains compared to those without anxiety; behavioral IU symptoms had the highest association with anxiety. IU symptom profiles should be considered in assessment and treatment.
