Yet, the nature of impairment and criteria for defining and assessing impairment in childhood disorders has been surprisingly overlooked in much of the literature. The current article examines the extant literature on the conceptualisation, nature and assessment of impairment in childhood disorders. Relations between diagnostic symptoms and functional impairment are discussed together with the influence of impairment on diagnostic decisions and prevalence rates. Several factors influencing impairment in childhood such as culture, development and gender are considered. This article concludes with a discussion of the utility of separating judgements of impairment from specific diagnoses, which is proposed for consideration in the forthcoming DSM-5.

Anxiety moderates the influence of ASD severity on quality of life in adults with ASD / Isaac C. SMITH in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 62 (June 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 62 (June 2019) . - p.39-47 Titre : Anxiety moderates the influence of ASD severity on quality of life in adults with ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Isaac C. SMITH, Auteur ; Thomas H. OLLENDICK, Auteur ; Susan W. WHITE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.39-47 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Anxiety  Adult  Quality of life  Comorbidity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Comorbidity of anxiety and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children and adolescents is well-documented. Preliminary evidence suggests rates of comorbidity in adults with ASD may be comparable. Little is known about the manifestation of anxiety symptoms in adults with ASD or the potential for these symptoms to impact quality of life in this population. The current study aimed to examine the role of anxiety symptoms in quality of life among young adults with ASD. Method We collected online survey data from a large sample (N = 224) of parents of young adults with ASD and a subsample of adults with ASD. We examined prevalence of anxiety symptoms based on reported prior diagnoses and proportion of individuals exceeding clinical cutoffs on anxiety measures. Regression models were used to evaluate anxiety as a moderator of the relationship between ASD symptoms and quality of life. Results Based on parent- and self-report data, 48% of adults with ASD exceeded clinical cutoffs for anxiety. Anxiety moderated the relationship between ASD severity and the social relations domain of quality of life such that ASD severity predicted quality of life only among individuals with low levels of anxiety. Conclusions Results provide preliminary evidence that anxiety symptoms relate to quality of life in adults with ASD independently of core ASD symptomatology. Future research should further characterize anxiety symptoms among adults with ASD, as well as evaluate the impact of anxiety symptoms on quality of life and overall outcome through the use of prospective longitudinal studies.

Caregiver perspectives on interventions for behavior challenges in autistic children / Jessica E. TSCHIDA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 81 (March 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 81 (March 2021) . - 101714 Titre : Caregiver perspectives on interventions for behavior challenges in autistic children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jessica E.

YERYS, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101714 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Aggression  Autism  Intervention  Parent  School-age Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis have high rates of behaviors such as aggression, oppositional behaviors, and tantrums. Despite effectiveness of interventions for these behavior challenges in a considerable number of autistic children, there is little information on stakeholder perspectives about available interventions. The present study preliminarily characterized caregiver perspectives on intervention for behavior challenges in school-age autistic children. Method 321 caregivers of autistic children completed a survey about interventions used to address behavior challenges. Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum tests and subsequent pairwise comparisons using a Wilcoxon rank-sum test with False-Discovery Rate-adjusted p-values (q<0.05) were conducted for caregiver ratings of interventions. Thematic analysis was conducted for caregivers’ open-ended suggestions for improving interventions. Results Caregivers indicated limited approval of attempted interventions. For children with an IQ ? 70, the omnibus test was significant for caregiver ratings of intervention helpfulness (?2(8) = 38.707, q<0.001, ?2 = 0.017) with medications and Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS; Greene, 2010) therapy rated highest, and was significant for caregiver ratings of amount of improvement maintained over time (?2(8) = 46.013, q<0.001, ?2 = 0.020) with medications, CPS, applied behavioral analysis (ABA), and “other interventions” rated highest. For children with an IQ < 70, pairwise tests revealed no significant differences. Caregivers suggested improvements at the systems, provider, caregiver/family, and child/intervention levels. Conclusions Caregivers’ limited approval of interventions used to address behavior challenges suggests the need for improved intervention options. While medications and ABA are standard-of-care interventions, CPS may be a caregiver-preferred and efficacious option that is underutilized among autistic children with an IQ ? 70.

College students on the autism spectrum: Prevalence and associated problems / Susan W. WHITE in Autism, 15-6 (November 2011)

We sought to gain a preliminary estimate of the scope of the problem and to examine psychiatric risks associated HFASD symptoms in university students. In a large sample (n = 667), we examined prevalence of ASD in students at a single university both diagnostically and dimensionally, and surveyed students on other behavioral and psychiatric problems. Dependent upon the ascertainment method, between .7 per cent and 1.9 per cent of college students could meet criteria for HFASD. Of special interest, none of the students who were found to meet diagnostic criteria (n = 5) formally for HFASD in this study had been previously diagnosed. From a dimensional perspective, those students scoring above the clinical threshold for symptoms of autism (n = 13) self-reported more problems with social anxiety than a matched comparison group of students with lower autism severity scores. In addition, symptoms of HFASD were significantly correlated with symptoms of social anxiety, as well as depression and aggression. Findings demonstrate the importance of screening for autism-related impairment among university students.

Does the Presence of Anxiety and ADHD Symptoms Add to Social Impairment in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder? / Reina S. FACTOR in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-4 (April 2017)

The present study compared impairment scores (social responsiveness scale, 2nd edition; SRS-2 scores) in 57 children (3–17 years, 82.5% male) with ASD, either with or without heightened levels of anxiety or ADHD symptoms, all per parent report. Children with heightened anxiety problems showed higher scores on four SRS-2 subscales (Social Cognition, Social Communication, Social Motivation, and Restricted Interests and Repetitive Behavior). Children with heightened ADHD traits showed higher scores on two subscales (Social Communication and Social Awareness). These findings suggest similarities and differences in how social deficits in ASD may worsen with anxiety or ADHD symptoms.
