Early Childhood Predictors of the Social Competence of Adults with Autism / Kristen GILLESPIE-LYNCH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-2 (February 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 42-2 (February 2012) . - p.161-174 Titre : Early Childhood Predictors of the Social Competence of Adults with Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kristen GILLESPIE-LYNCH, Auteur ; Leigh SEPATA, Auteur ; Yueyan WANG, Auteur ; Stephanie MARSHALL, Auteur ; Lovella GOMEZ, Auteur ; Marian SIGMAN, Auteur ; Ted HUTMAN, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.161-174 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Longitudinal  Outcome  Adulthood  Social functioning Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Longitudinal research into adult outcomes in autism remains limited. Unlike previous longitudinal examinations of adult outcome in autism, the twenty participants in this study were evaluated across multiple assessments between early childhood (M = 3.9 years) and adulthood (M = 26.6 years). In early childhood, responsiveness to joint attention (RJA), language, and intelligence were assessed. In adulthood, the parents of participants responded to interviews assessing the adaptive functioning, autistic symptomology and global functioning of their children. RJA and early childhood language predicted a composite measure of adult social functioning and independence. Early childhood language skills and intelligence predicted adult adaptive behaviors. RJA predicted adult non-verbal communication, social skills and symptoms. Adaptive behaviors changed with development, but symptoms of autism did not. Additional factors associated with adult outcomes are discussed.

Identifying Individuals With Autism in a State Facility for Adolescents Adjudicated as Sexual Offenders: A Pilot Study / Lawrence R. SUTTON in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 28-3 (September 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 28-3 (September 2013) . - p.175-183 Titre : Identifying Individuals With Autism in a State Facility for Adolescents Adjudicated as Sexual Offenders: A Pilot Study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lawrence R.

WALTERS, Auteur ; Eric FENCLAU, Auteur ; Stephanie MARSHALL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.175-183 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders  adjudicated  sexual offenses Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Using the criteria established by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the assessment procedures for establishing an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in a previously undiagnosed adjudicated group is detailed. We examined 37 male adolescents adjudicated delinquent for sexual offenses who were sentenced to treatment. Ultimately, 22 (60%) were found to meet the diagnostic criteria for an ASD. All had intelligence quotients in the average range. For the offenders with ASD, we recommend modifying traditional treatment protocols (i.e., relying on individual and group talk therapy) to match their learning styles (e.g., visual learning, modeling with practice, and feedback) and restricting contact with neurotypical sexual offenders to improve therapeutic outcomes. Deterrent programming aimed at bridging the gap between social deficits, Theory of Mind deficits, and sexual knowledge acquisition is discussed.
