Exploring sex differences in the manifestation of autistic traits in young children / Da-Yea SONG in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 88 (October 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 88 (October 2021) . - 101848 Titre : Exploring sex differences in the manifestation of autistic traits in young children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Da-Yea SONG, Auteur ; So Yoon KIM, Auteur ; Guiyoung BONG, Auteur ; Young Ah KIM, Auteur ; Joo Hyun KIM, Auteur ; Jong-Myeong KIM, Auteur ; Hee Jeong YOO, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101848 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Sex differences  Phenotype  Social communication  Restricted repetitive behaviors Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Previous works attempting to document sex differences in younger children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have yielded inconsistent results. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate potential sex differences in the manifestation of ASD-related features in toddlers and preschoolers with ASD, typical development (TD), and other developmental disorders (OD). Method Analyses were conducted using a sample of 557 young children, aged 18?42 months, composed of 261 participants with ASD (n = 207 males; n = 54 females), 223 TD (n = 133 males; n = 90 females), and 73 with OD (n = 45 males; n = 28 females). A battery of tests, including the gold standard ASD diagnostic assessments and caregiver questionnaires, were used to measure symptomatology. We implemented ANCOVA while covarying for adaptive skills to detect sex differences in ASD trait presentation. Results The ASD group demonstrated significant differences in the parent-report social interaction domain with more deficits in females than males, while the TD and OD groups found that males exhibited more restricted or repetitive behaviors (RRB) than females. When the participants were limited to children over 24 months to ensure good diagnostic validity, the same patterns in traits by sex were observed, except in the OD group, suggesting that the younger children might have driven the significant findings. Conclusion Sex differences in the social interaction domain were reported by parents of children with ASD, while children in the non-ASD groups exhibited differences in RRBs. Therefore, healthcare professionals should become aware of the different presentational profiles in young children to prevent over or under detection of ASD.

Item ratings were aggregated into scores on syndromes; Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-oriented scales; a Stress Problems scale; and Internalizing, Externalizing, and Total Problems scales. Effect sizes for scale score differences among the 24 societies ranged from small to medium (3-12%). Although societies differed greatly in language, culture, and other characteristics, Total Problems scores for 18 of the 24 societies were within 7.1 points of the omnicultural mean of 33.3 (on a scale of 0-198). Gender and age differences, as well as gender and age interactions with society, were all very small (effect sizes < 1%). Across all pairs of societies, correlations between mean item ratings averaged .78, and correlations between internal consistency alphas for the scales averaged .92, indicating that the rank orders of mean item ratings and internal consistencies of scales were very similar across diverse societies.

Utility of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule and the Brief Observation of Social and Communication Change for Measuring Outcomes for a Parent-Mediated Early Autism Intervention / Sophie CARRUTHERS in Autism Research, 14-2 (February 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-2 (February 2021) . - p.411-425 Titre : Utility of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule and the Brief Observation of Social and Communication Change for Measuring Outcomes for a Parent-Mediated Early Autism Intervention Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sophie CARRUTHERS, Auteur ; Tony CHARMAN, Auteur ; Nicole EL HAWI, Auteur ; Young Ah KIM, Auteur ; Rachel RANDLE, Auteur ; Catherine LORD, Auteur ; Andrew PICKLES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.411-425 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule  Brief Observation of Social Communication Change  autism spectrum disorder  intervention  outcome measures  trials Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Measuring outcomes for autistic children following social communication interventions is an ongoing challenge given the heterogeneous changes, which can be subtle. We tested and compared the overall and item-level intervention effects of the Brief Observation of Social Communication Change (BOSCC), Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) algorithm, and ADOS-2 Calibrated Severity Scores (CSS) with autistic children aged 2-5?years from the Preschool Autism Communication Trial (PACT). The BOSCC was applied to Module 1 ADOS assessments (ADOS-BOSCC). Among the 117 children using single or no words (Module 1), the ADOS-BOSCC, ADOS algorithm, and ADOS CSS each detected small non-significant intervention effects. However, on the ADOS algorithm, there was a medium significant intervention effect for children with "few to no words" at baseline, while children with "some words" showed little intervention effect. For the full PACT sample (including ADOS Module 2, total n=152), ADOS metrics evidenced significant small (CSS) and medium (algorithm) overall intervention effects. None of the Module 1 item-level intervention effects reached significance, with largest changes observed for Gesture (ADOS-BOSCC and ADOS), Facial Expressions (ADOS), and Intonation (ADOS). Significant ADOS Module 2 item-level effects were observed for Mannerisms and Repetitive Interests and Stereotyped Behaviors. Despite strong psychometric properties, the ADOS-BOSCC was not more sensitive to behavioral changes than the ADOS among Module 1 children. Our results suggest the ADOS can be a sensitive outcome measure. Item-level intervention effect plots have the potential to indicate intervention "signatures of change," a concept that may be useful in future trials and systematic reviews. LAY SUMMARY: This study compares two outcome measures in a parent-mediated therapy. Neither was clearly better or worse than the other; however, the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule produced somewhat clearer evidence than the Brief Observation of Social Communication Change of improvement among children who had use of "few to no" words at the start. We explore which particular behaviors are associated with greater improvement. These findings can inform researchers when they consider how best to explore the impact of their intervention.
