Age Differences in Emergency Department Visits and Inpatient Hospitalizations in Preadolescent and Adolescent Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Alyssa M. SCHLENZ in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-8 (August 2015)

Records from youth with ASDs were linked to acute care utilization records and were compared to a demographically similar comparison group of youth without ASDs (N = 1260). A particular focus was placed on utilization for psychiatric concerns and injuries or accidents. Results suggested that psychiatric care was more likely for youth with ASDs in both the preadolescent and adolescent cohorts versus comparison youth, with no significant differences between age cohorts. In contrast, results for the accident and injury categories suggested age-specific findings. Results suggest opportunities for prevention efforts for youth with ASDs.

Enhanced Cortisol Response to Stress in Children in Autism / Eve SPRATT in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-1 (January 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 42-1 (January 2012) . - p.75-81 Titre : Enhanced Cortisol Response to Stress in Children in Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Eve SPRATT, Auteur ; Joyce S. NICHOLAS, Auteur ; Kathleen BRADY, Auteur ; Laura A. CARPENTER, Auteur ; Charles HATCHER, Auteur ; Kirk MEEKINS, Auteur ; Richard FURLANETTO, Auteur ; Jane CHARLES, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.75-81 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Cortisol  Autism  Stress  HPA  Adaptability  Neurobiology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children with Autism often show difficulties in adapting to change. Previous studies of cortisol, a neurobiologic stress hormone reflecting hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis activity, in children with autism have demonstrated variable results. This study measured cortisol levels in children with and without Autism: (1) at rest; (2) in a novel environment; and (3) in response to a blood draw stressor. A significantly higher serum cortisol response was found in the group of children with autism. Analysis showed significantly higher peak cortisol levels and prolonged duration and recovery of cortisol elevation following the blood-stick stressor in children with autism. This study suggests increased reactivity of the HPA axis to stress and novel stimuli in children with autism.

Rates and Predictors of Adherence to Psychotropic Medications in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Sarah L. LOGAN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-11 (November 2014)

However, adherence has not been fully assessed in autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). The validated proportion of days covered method was used to quantify adherence to psychotropic medication in Medicaid-eligible children who met diagnostic criteria for ASD between 2000 and 2008 (N = 628). Among children prescribed attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medications, antidepressants, or antipsychotics, 44, 40 and 52 % were adherent respectively. Aggressive behaviors and abnormalities in eating, drinking, and/or sleeping, co-occurring ADHD, and the Medication Regimen Complexity Index were the most significant predictors of adherence rather than demographics or core deficits of ASD. Identifying barriers to adherence in ASD may ultimately lead to improved treatment outcomes.

The Prevalence of Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders in the Criminal Justice System / Catherine A. CHEELY in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-9 (September 2012)

Using records linkage with the Department of Juvenile Justice and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division and the South Carolina Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Program (SC ADDM), this study compares the frequency, type, and outcome of criminal charges for youth with ASD and non-ASD youth. Youth with ASD had higher rates of crimes against persons and lower rates of crimes against property. Youth with ASD were more likely to be diverted into pre-trial interventions and less likely to be prosecuted than comparison youth. When compared to the overall SC ADDM sample, charged youth were less likely to have comorbid intellectual disability.
