BROOKS, Auteur ; Fumio SOMEKI, Auteur ; Rita OBEID, Auteur ; Christina SHANE-SIMPSON, Auteur ; Steven K. KAPP, Auteur ; Nidal DAOU, Auteur ; David SHANE SMITH, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.2553-2566 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Stigma associated with autism  Knowledge of autism  Online training  College students  ASD Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : College students with autism may be negatively impacted by lack of understanding about autism on college campuses. Thus, we developed an online training to improve knowledge and decrease stigma associated with autism among college students. Participants (N = 365) completed a pre-test, online training, and post-test. Women reported lower stigma towards autism than men. Participation in the training was associated with decreased stigma and increased knowledge about autism. Although participants exhibited relatively high baseline knowledge of autism, misconceptions were common, particularly in open-ended responses. Participants commonly confused autism with other disorders, such as learning disabilities. This study suggests that online training may be a cost-effective way to increase college students’ understanding and acceptance of their peers with autism.

Psychometric properties of the Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised for individuals with autism spectrum disorder in Japan / Naoko INADA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 15-16 (July 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 15-16 (July 2015) . - p.60-68 Titre : Psychometric properties of the Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised for individuals with autism spectrum disorder in Japan Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Naoko INADA, Auteur ; Hiroyuki ITO, Auteur ; Kazuhiro YASUNAGA, Auteur ; Miho KURODA, Auteur ; Ryoichiro IWANAGA, Auteur ; Taku HAGIWARA, Auteur ; Iori TANI, Auteur ; Ryoji YUKIHIRO, Auteur ; Tokio UCHIYAMA, Auteur ; Kei OGASAHARA, Auteur ; Koichi HARA, Auteur ; Masahiko INOUE, Auteur ; Takashi MURAKAMI, Auteur ; Fumio SOMEKI, Auteur ; Kazuhiko NAKAMURA, Auteur ; Toshiro SUGIYAMA, Auteur ; Hiroyuki UCHIDA, Auteur ; Hironobu ICHIKAWA, Auteur ; Yuki KAWAKUBO, Auteur ; Yukiko KANO, Auteur ; Masatsugu TSUJII, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.60-68 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Restricted and repetitive behaviors  Autism spectrum disorder  Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised Japanese Version  Reliability  Validity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs) constitute a core symptom of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised (RBS-R) is a widely used questionnaire administered by parents or caregivers to assess RRBs in individuals with ASD. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the RBS-R Japanese Version (RBS-R-J). The ASD and non-ASD groups comprised 274 and 36 participants, respectively. We examined corrected item-total correlation, Cronbach's alpha, and RBS-R-J scores of different diagnostic groups, as well as correlations between RBS-R-J scores and intelligence quotient (IQ), autistic symptoms, adaptive/maladaptive functioning, aberrant behaviors, and sensory processing. All items showed moderate corrected item-total correlations. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was .93. We found significant differences in the mean RBS-R-J scores of the low-functioning ASD group and the intellectual disabilities group, and of low-functioning and high-functioning ASD groups. RBS-R-J scores negatively correlated with IQ and scores on the Sensory Profile (Japanese version) and Adaptive Behavior Composite of the Maladaptive Behavior Index of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-Second Edition (VABS-II; Japanese version), but positively correlated with scores on the peak and current symptoms subscales of the Pervasive Developmental Disorders Autism Society Japan Rating Scale, the VABS-II, and the Aberrant Behavior Checklist-Community (Japanese version). From these results, we conclude that RBS-R-J showed good reliability, diagnostic validity, and convergent validity, indicating that it is a reliable, valid instrument for use among ASD individuals in clinical and research settings.

The risk factors for criminal behaviour in high-functioning autism spectrum disorders (HFASDs): A comparison of childhood adversities between individuals with HFASDs who exhibit criminal behaviour and those with HFASD and no criminal histories / Chihiro KAWAKAMI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)

This study examined 175 individuals with HFASD, including 36 individuals who had a prior history of criminal behaviours (the criminal group) and 139 individuals without a criminal history (the control group), with regard to 15 types of childhood adversities (CAs). The age of initial HFASD diagnosis and history of neglect and physical abuse were significantly correlated with an increased risk of criminal behaviour. These findings agreed with previous studies on general populations. The unique characteristics of individuals with HFASD and a history of criminal behaviour are discussed.
