The children with ASD were diagnosed with Autism (n1 = 27) or High-Functioning ASD (n2 = 26). The three subscales of the SCQ were confirmed and the modification indices produced an acceptable fit. The Cronbach-a coefficient was high and acceptable for all subscales and the total SCQ score. Roc analysis yielded an optimal cut-off point of 15 for the Autism group versus the Non-ASD group with a sensitivity of 96.3% and a specificity of 98.7%. For both the ASD group as a total and the High-Functioning ASD group the optimal cut-off point was found to be 11 with a satisfactory balance between sensitivity and specificity. The Greek version of SCQ seems to be a valid and reliable instrument for 7 to 10 year-old children. The findings support the need for adjusting the cut-off point to the subject's level of functioning.

Behavioral comparisons in Autism Spectrum Disorder and Developmental Coordination Disorder: A systematic literature review / Priscila CAÇOLA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 38 (June 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 38 (June 2017) . - p.6-18 Titre : Behavioral comparisons in Autism Spectrum Disorder and Developmental Coordination Disorder: A systematic literature review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Priscila CAÇOLA, Auteur ; Haylie L. MILLER, Auteur ; Peace Ossom WILLIAMSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.6-18 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder  Developmental Coordination Disorder  Behaviors  Co-morbidities  Co-occurrence  Motor skills  Systematic literature review Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractBackground Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) are developmental disorders that, since the DSM-5, can be diagnosed as co-occurring conditions. While some recent studies suggest that ASD and DCD have similar traits, others show clear behavioral distinctions between the two conditions. By gathering all studies that included (1) an ASD group and a DCD group, (2) an ASD + DCD group and a DCD group, or (3) ASD, ASD + DCD, and DCD groups, we aimed to identify similarities and differences in behaviors between the two disorders. Method We used a systematic search of PubMed (1946 –), Scopus (1970 –), PsycINFO (via EBSCO, 1600 –), CINAHL (via EBSCO, 1937 –), SportDiscus (via EBSCO, 1985 –), and WorldCat (via FirstSearch) in addition to reference list and author name searching PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, CINAHL, SportDiscus, and WorldCat to identify original studies that met the following criteria: (1) an ASD group and a DCD group, (2) an ASD + DCD group and a DCD group, or (3) ASD, ASD + DCD, and DCD groups. Results From the 1598 articles screened, 11 were included in the qualitative analysis. The articles included reported more differences than similarities in individuals with ASD and DCD, with clear distinctions for working memory ability, gestural performance, grip selection, and cortical thickness. Only two studies reported similarities in face processing abilities and perceived competence, and the interventional studies showed group similarities in behavior improvement, such as intelligence and attention. Conclusions Based on the articles reviewed, we conclude that while DCD and ASD share some behavioral symptoms, the symptom profiles of each disorder are unique and separable. We recommend that the evaluation of potential DCD in individuals with ASD be performed systematically and thoroughly, so as to distinguish this co-occurring condition from sensorimotor symptoms associated with ASD.

Nonverbal, rather than verbal, functioning may predict cognitive flexibility among persons with autism spectrum disorder: A preliminary study / Colin Andrew CAMPBELL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 38 (June 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 38 (June 2017) . - p.19-25 Titre : Nonverbal, rather than verbal, functioning may predict cognitive flexibility among persons with autism spectrum disorder: A preliminary study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Colin Andrew CAMPBELL, Auteur ; Natalie RUSSO, Auteur ; Oriane LANDRY, Auteur ; Anna Maria JANKOWSKA, Auteur ; Emily STUBBERT, Auteur ; Sophie JACQUES, Auteur ; Jacob A. BURACK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.19-25 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Cognitive flexibility  Nonverbal abilities  Mental age  Executive function  Autism spectrum disorder Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractBackground Cognitive flexibility may not be as impaired in persons with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as expected by the clinical criterion of repetitive and perseverative behaviors (APA, 2013) and by their verbal abilities. In typically developing (TD) children and other groups, the development of cognitive flexibility is tightly linked to verbal development. However, nonverbal abilities may better predict cognitive flexibility in children with ASD because of their unique pattern of cognitive strengths and weaknesses. Method We examined the relative influences of chronological age (CA), performance mental age (PMA), and verbal mental age (VMA) on cognitive flexibility as measured by performance on the Flexible Item Selection Task (FIST) among a group of 27 individuals with ASD with a wide range of IQs. The Leiter-R and PPVT-III estimated PMA and VMA, respectively. Results Partial correlations indicated that PMA, but not VMA, related to switching performance on the FIST. Conclusion Findings highlight the potential unique role of nonverbal abilities as a contributing factor to the development of cognitive flexibility among individuals with ASD. Nonverbal abilities may better support the development of cognitive flexibility in this particular population perhaps because their limited verbal abilities cannot contribute effectively to other cognitive processes such as cognitive flexibility.
