Sex differences in core autistic symptoms, co-occurring behavioral symptoms, and cognitive styles were assessed in each group. Females with ASD were less severely affected than IQ- and age-matched males with ASD in the communication and repetitive stereotyped behavior domains, as measured by the ADI-R, but such sex differences were less significant than they were in the unaffected sibling group. Several behavioral/emotional symptom scores were significantly higher in male siblings than in female siblings. However, the ASD and TD groups did not show sex differences in any behavioral/emotional symptom scores. Males were superior in systemizing relative to empathizing, while the opposite was true for females in the unaffected sibling group and the TD children group; however, both males and females were superior in systemizing relative to empathizing in the ASD group. Our findings support the extreme male brain theory of autism, and further studies are needed to understand the mechanisms behind and developmental perspectives on the nature of sex differences in ASD.

Sleep problems and their correlates and comorbid psychopathology of children with autism spectrum disorders / Subin PARK in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-3 (July-September 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-3 (July-September 2012) . - p.1068-1072 Titre : Sleep problems and their correlates and comorbid psychopathology of children with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Subin PARK, Auteur ; Soo-Churl CHO, Auteur ; In Hee CHO, Auteur ; Boong-Nyun KIM, Auteur ; Jae-Won KIM, Auteur ; Min-Sup SHIN, Auteur ; Un-Sun CHUNG, Auteur ; Tae-Won PARK, Auteur ; Jung-Woo SON, Auteur ; Hee Jeong YOO, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.1068-1072 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Sleep  Behavior problems Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined sleep problems and their correlates and comorbid psychopathology in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Participants consisted of 166 ASD children and 111 unaffected siblings aged 4–15 years. Parents completed a self-administered child sleep questionnaire. Of the children with ASDs, 47.0% (78/166) had at least one sleep problem. Children with ASDs were more likely to have bedtime resistance (OR 2.72, 95% CI 1.02–7.21), insomnia (OR 4.07, 95% CI 1.60–10.35), and daytime sleepiness (OR 7.62, 95% CI 1.17–49.38) compared to their unaffected siblings. Among children with ASDs, multivariate logistic regression analyses indicated that communication abnormalities and repetitive stereotyped behaviors were associated with increased risk of sleep problems. ASD children with sleep problems were more likely to have withdrawal problems, somatizing problems, aggressive behaviors, internalizing problems, externalizing problems, and total behavioral problems compared to those without sleep problems. Sleep problems are prevalent in children with ASDs and are associated with both internalizing and externalizing problems. Clinicians should pay close attention to sleep problems when assessing and treating autistic behaviors.
