Age-related trends in treatment use for children with autism spectrum disorder / Sarah S. MIRE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 15-16 (July 2015)

MIRE, Auteur ; Natalie S. RAFF, Auteur ; Christie M. BREWTON, Auteur ; Robin P. GOIN-KOCHEL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.29-41 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Age-related trends  Treatment  Simons Simplex Collection Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Numerous and increasing treatment options face parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study sought to elucidate age-related trends in treatment use among children with ASD from the Simons Simplex Collection (SSC; n = 2758). Our goals were to: (a) explore frequencies of use for various treatment types between preschool and adolescence, and (b) statistically compare rates of treatment-type use by children of different ages. Results indicated high reliance on school-based treatments (e.g., speech and occupational therapies), though use of these types of treatments decreased with age. Use of most treatment types peaked during the preschool years and decreased with age, except psychotropic medication, which was used more by older children. A stable proportion of the sample across ages endorsed biomedical treatments (i.e., complementary alternative medicine; CAM). Percentages of treatment-type use at three different ages (representing early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence) via Pearson chi-square analyses indicated significant associations (? < .006) between age and use of these treatment types: private and school-based speech, private and school-based occupational therapy, intensive behavioral treatment, and psychotropic medication. Results are considered within an ecological-behavioral framework to offer potential explanations for age-related differences in treatment use (e.g., family factors, special education legislation).

Emotional and Behavioral Adjustment in Typically Developing Siblings of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Allison G. DEMPSEY in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-7 (July 2012)

Methodological issues, such as small study sample sizes and reliance on parent report, may contribute to inconsistent findings. The purpose of this study was to use parent and teacher report to describe presence of internalizing and externalizing behaviors among a large sample (n = 486) of TD siblings of children with ASD. Results indicated that siblings did not exhibit a disproportionate prevalence of internalizing or externalizing symptoms in comparison to the standardization sample of the rating scale. The presence of a sibling with an ASD may not be considered a risk-factor for adjustment problems among TD siblings.

A Multi-Rater Study on Being Teased Among Children/Adolescents With Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Their Typically Developing Siblings: Associations With ASD Symptoms / Kerri P. NOWELL in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 29-4 (December 2014)

Experiences were examined from parent, teacher, and child’s own perspectives. Factors potentially associated with being teased were investigated. Comparison data were ascertained on typically developing siblings (n = 68; M age = 116.5 months [9.7 years]; 52.9% male). Select items on the Child Behavior Checklist 6–18 and the Teacher Report Form 6–18 were utilized to calculate the prevalence of being teased; qualitative data from a subgroup of verbally fluent children with ASD (n = 50) were analyzed to provide child self-report teasing data. Children with ASD were more likely to be teased than their typically developing siblings. Characteristics that were significantly associated with being teased included higher cognitive functioning, less severe ASD symptomatology, and more time spent in inclusive educational settings. Clinical implications are discussed.

Parental Beliefs About Causes of Autism Spectrum Disorder: An Investigation of a Research Measure Using Principal Component Analysis / Christie M. BREWTON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 87 (September 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 87 (September 2021) . - 101825 Titre : Parental Beliefs About Causes of Autism Spectrum Disorder: An Investigation of a Research Measure Using Principal Component Analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Christie M.

MCNEEL, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101825 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Parental perceptions  Etiology  IPQ-R-ASD  Principal component analysis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Parents’ perceptions about cause of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) influences their behaviors (e.g., treatment selection, vaccinations). The Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire for ASD (IPQ-R-ASD) offers a systematic way to measure parent parents’ perceptions of ASD cause, but further study is needed. Method Using principal component analysis (PCA), we investigated the factor structure of the IPQ-R-ASD Cause scale, which was administered online, in a sample of 326 North American parents (287 mothers [88 %], 39 fathers) raising children with confirmed ASD diagnoses. Results Six factors emerged on the Cause subscale and were labeled Personal Attributions, Parental Risk Factors, Environmental Risk Factors, Utero/Birth Stress, Biophysiological, and Metaphysical. Together, these factors accounted for a cumulative variance of 61.4 %. All items exceeded the minimum loading to be considered robust, and all but one loaded positively (i.e., “Will of God). Conclusions Understanding parental perceptions about the cause of their children’s ASD may help researchers and clinicians understand important aspects of raising a child with ASD, such as stress and coping responses, treatment selection and implementation, or shared decision-making about service use. Since measurement of causal beliefs is an important initial step in this direction, the current study is helpful in establishing the viability of a measure that may extend this line of research and, ultimately, the instrument’s clinical utility.

Relationship between the social functioning of children with autism spectrum disorders and their siblings’ competencies/problem behaviors / Christie M. BREWTON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)

The current study utilized data from the Simons Simplex Collection (SSC; n = 1355 children with ASD and 1351 siblings) to investigate this relationship. Phenotypic measures included (a) the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R), the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-II (VABS-II) for the probands with ASD and (b) the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ), the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS), the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), and the VABS-II for siblings. Sibling data were first analyzed collectively, then analyzed by “older” and “younger” groups, relative to the age of the proband with ASD. Significant correlations were observed between probands’ and siblings’ VABS-II socialization domain scores; additional associations were noted between (a) probands’ VABS-II socialization domain scores and siblings’ CBCL internalizing subscale scores when only younger siblings were analyzed, and (b) probands’ ADOS Reciprocal Social Interaction (RSI) domain scores and the sibling SCQ scores when only older siblings were analyzed. These findings suggest that typically developing children may have a small yet meaningful influence on the prosocial development of their siblings with ASD. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
