The overall objective of the current study was to quantitatively characterize features of ANS function using symptom scales and available electronic health record (EHR) data in a clinically and genetically characterized pediatric cohort. Methods We assessed features of ANS function via chart review of patient records adapted from items drawn from a clinical research questionnaire of autonomic symptoms. This procedure coded for the presence and/or absence of targeted symptoms and was completed in 3 groups of patients, including patients with a clinical neurodevelopmental diagnosis and identified genetic etiology (NPD, n = 244), those with an ASD diagnosis with no known genetic cause (ASD, n = 159), and age and sex matched controls (MC, n = 213). Symptoms were assessed across four main categories: (1) Mood, Behavior, and Emotion; (2) Secretomotor, Sensory Integration; (3) Urinary, Gastrointestinal, and Digestion; and (4) Circulation, Thermoregulation, Circadian function, and Sleep/Wake cycles. Results Chart review scores indicate an increased rate of autonomic symptoms across all four sections in our NPD group as compared to scores with ASD and/or MC. Additionally, we note several significant relationships between individual differences in autonomic symptoms and quantitative ASD traits. Conclusion These results highlight EHR review as a potentially useful method for quantifying variance in symptoms adapted from a questionnaire or survey. Further, using this method indicates that autonomic features are more prevalent in children with genetic disorders conferring risk for ASD and other neurodevelopmental diagnoses.

Comparison of mental health, well-being and parenting sense of competency among Australian and South-East Asian parents of autistic children accessing early intervention in Australia / J. SMITH in Autism, 25-6 (August 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 25-6 (August 2021) . - p.1784-1796 Titre : Comparison of mental health, well-being and parenting sense of competency among Australian and South-East Asian parents of autistic children accessing early intervention in Australia Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : J.

We also know that poorer mental health among parents of autistic children has been observed across different cultures. Most research focuses on Western cultures, so we know little about parental mental health and well-being of parents from different cultural backgrounds; yet, it is likely that cultural background contributes to how parents view their child's condition and respond to the diagnosis. Here, we compared mental health, quality of life and well-being between families raising an autistic child from Australian backgrounds to families from South-East Asian backgrounds. All children in the current study were receiving the same community-based early intervention. When compared to the general population, parents had poorer mental health overall, but there were no differences between the two groups of parents. However, parents from South-East Asian backgrounds reported higher well-being and fewer difficulties associated with their child's autism. These findings suggest that cultural background likely influences not only parent's view of, and response to, their child's autism, but also their own sense of well-being. As researchers and clinicians working with families of autistic children, we should more explicitly consider family's cultural background within our work.
