CALHOUN, Auteur ; Rebecca D. MAYES, Auteur ; Sarah MOLITORIS, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.277-285 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  ADHD  Differential diagnosis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children with ADHD and autism have some similar features, complicating a differential diagnosis. The purpose of our study was to determine the degree to which core ADHD and autistic symptoms overlap in and discriminate between children 2–16 years of age with autism and ADHD. Our study demonstrated that 847 children with autism were easily distinguished from 158 children with ADHD. All children with autism had 15 or more of the 30 Checklist for Autism Spectrum Disorder symptoms (mean 22), and none of the children with ADHD did (mean 4). Three of the symptoms were present only in children with autism. Almost all 30 symptoms were found in over half of the children with autism, whereas none were present in the majority of children with ADHD-Inattentive type (ADHD-I) or in children with ADHD-Combined type (ADHD-C) without comorbid oppositional-defiant disorder. In contrast, ADHD symptoms were common in autism. Children with low and high functioning autism and ADHD-C did not differ on maternal ratings of attention deficit, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. For children with normal intelligence, nonsignificant differences were found between children with autism, ADHD-C, and ADHD-I on neuropsychological tests including measures of attention, working memory, processing speed, and graphomotor skills.

Unusual fears in children with autism / Susan DICKERSON MAYES in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-1 (January 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-1 (January 2013) . - p.151-8 Titre : Unusual fears in children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Susan DICKERSON MAYES, Auteur ; Susan L. CALHOUN, Auteur ; Richa AGGARWAL, Auteur ; Courtney N. BAKER, Auteur ; Santoshkumar MATHAPATI, Auteur ; Sarah MOLITORIS, Auteur ; Rebecca D. MAYES, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : p.151-8 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Fears  Phobias Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Unusual fears have long been recognized as common in autism, but little research exists. In our sample of 1033 children with autism, unusual fears were reported by parents of 421 (41%) of the children, representing 92 different fears. Many additional children had common childhood fears (e.g., dogs, bugs, and the dark). More than half of children with unusual fears had fears of mechanical things, heights, and/or weather. The most common unusual fear was fear of toilets, and the most common category was fear of mechanical things. Amazingly, many of the fears reported in our sample were described in children with autism 70 years ago by Kanner, including fear of vacuum cleaners, elevators, mechanical toys, swings, and the wind. Children with autism perceive, experience, and react to the world differently than children without autism. What is tolerable for most children (e.g., clouds in the sky, a change in activity or routine, sensory input, or a performance request) might be terrifying, distressing, or infuriating for a child with autism. It is critical to assess for unusual and common fears in children with autism because they are present in the majority of these children, they further impair functioning, and effective treatment is available.
