Attachment in young children with autism spectrum disorders: An examination of separation and reunion behaviors with both mothers and fathers / Rebecca GRZADZINSKI in Autism, 18-2 (February 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 18-2 (February 2014) . - p.85-96 Titre : Attachment in young children with autism spectrum disorders: An examination of separation and reunion behaviors with both mothers and fathers Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rebecca GRZADZINSKI, Auteur ; Rhiannon LUYSTER, Auteur ; Amelia Gunn SPENCER, Auteur ; Catherine LORD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.85-96 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorders  Attachment  parents  fathers Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Most studies examining attachment in children with autism spectrum disorder used a strange situation paradigm and have found few significant group differences between children with autism spectrum disorder and comparisons. However, these studies predominantly used formal attachment categorizations (e.g. secure vs insecure), a method that may obscure more nuanced differences between groups. In this study, we utilized a qualitative approach to examine attachment behaviors in young children with autism spectrum disorder. Based on the results of previous studies, we looked at (a) parental gender, (b) child diagnosis, and (c) child cognitive skills to examine the role of these three factors on attachment behaviors elicited during a modified strange situation paradigm. Participants were 2- to 3-year-old children with autism spectrum disorder (n = 166) or nonspectrum disorders (n = 45), as well as a sample of 56 children with typical development. Over the three groups, 393 observations of a modified strange situation paradigm with mothers and 127 observations with fathers were collected. Parental gender, child diagnosis, and child cognitive skills each had significant main effects on attachment behaviors elicited during reunion. These results underscore the importance of the father’s role in parent–child interactions, with implications for both clinical and research efforts. In addition, the results emphasize the importance of considering a child’s diagnosis and cognitive skills when examining attachment behaviors.

Children with autism spectrum disorder who improve with fever: Insights from the Simons Simplex Collection / Rebecca GRZADZINSKI in Autism Research, 11-1 (January 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 11-1 (January 2018) . - p.175-184 Titre : Children with autism spectrum disorder who improve with fever: Insights from the Simons Simplex Collection Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rebecca GRZADZINSKI, Auteur ; Catherine LORD, Auteur ; Stephan J. SANDERS, Auteur ; Donna WERLING, Auteur ; Vanessa H. BAL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.175-184 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Literature indicates that some children with ASD may show behavioral improvements during fever; however, little is known about the behavioral profiles of these children. This study aims to (a) investigate the subset of children who show parent?reported behavioral improvements associated with fever and (b) compare the demographic, behavioral, and genetic characteristics of this subset of children to children whose parents report no change during fever. Parents of 2,152 children from the Simons Simplex Collection provided information about whether and in which areas their child improved during fever. Children were randomly assigned into discovery or replication samples. In discovery analyses, children who reportedly improved with fever (Improve Group) were compared to those who reportedly did not improve (No Improve Group) on demographics, medical history, ASD symptoms, adaptive skills, and presence of de novo ASD?associated mutations. Significant and marginal results from discovery analyses were tested in the replication sample. Parent reports of 17% of children indicated improvements during fever across a range of domains. Discovery and replication analyses revealed that the Improve Group had significantly lower non?verbal cognitive skills (NVIQ) and language levels and more repetitive behaviors. Groups did not differ on demographic variables, parent?report of current ASD symptoms or the presence of de novo mutations. Understanding the profiles of children who improve during episodes of fever may provide insights into innovative treatments for ASD.

Lay Summary This study explored characteristics of children with ASD who are reported to improve during fever. Parents of 17% of children with ASD report improvements across a range of domains during fever including cognition, communication, repetitive behaviors, social interaction, and behavior. Children who are reported to improve during fever have significantly lower non?verbal cognitive skills and language levels and more repetitive behaviors. Understanding the profiles of children who improve during episodes of fever may provide insights into new treatments for ASD.

DSM-5 and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs): an opportunity for identifying ASD subtypes / Rebecca GRZADZINSKI in Molecular Autism, (May 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inMolecular Autism > (May 2013) . - 6 p. Titre : DSM-5 and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs): an opportunity for identifying ASD subtypes Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rebecca GRZADZINSKI, Auteur ; Marisela HUERTA, Auteur ; Catherine LORD, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : 6 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The heterogeneous clinical presentations of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) poses a significant challenge for sample characterization and limits the interpretability and replicability of research studies. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria for ASD, with its dimensional approach, may be a useful framework to increase the homogeneity of research samples. In this review, we summarize the revisions to the diagnostic criteria for ASD, briefly highlight the literature supporting these changes, and illustrate how DSM-5 can improve sample characterization and provide opportunities for researchers to identify possible subtypes within ASD.

Examining Autistic Traits in Children with ADHD: Does the Autism Spectrum Extend to ADHD? / Rebecca GRZADZINSKI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 41-9 (September 2011)

Results confirm the presence of a subgroup of children with ADHD and elevated ratings of core ASD traits (ADHD+) not accounted for by ADHD or behavioral symptoms. Further, analyses revealed greater oppositional behaviors, but not greater ADHD severity or anxiety, in the ADHD+ subgroup compared to those with ADHD only. These results highlight the importance of specifically examining autistic traits in children with ADHD for better characterization in studies of the underlying physiopathology and treatment.
