Age-related differences in the prevalence and correlates of anxiety in youth with autism spectrum disorders / Roma A. VASA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-11 (November 2013)

The prevalence of clinical and subclinical anxiety as well as the correlates of anxiety were examined in three age groups of children: preschool, school age and adolescents. Findings showed that the prevalence of anxiety in each age group exceeded the prevalence of anxiety in the general population. Adolescents and school age children had the highest prevalence of clinical (40%) and subclinical anxiety (26%), respectively. Higher IQ and less ASD severity were each weakly correlated with more anxiety in preschool and school age children. Affective symptoms were strongly associated with anxiety in each age group. Age specific psychiatric comorbidities were also present. Anxiety was associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) symptoms in the preschool group, ODD and somatic symptoms in the school age children, and ADHD symptoms in adolescents. These data underscore the need for prevention and treatment of anxiety as well as research examining the characteristics of anxiety in children with ASD using a developmental framework.

Methodological considerations when assessing restricted and repetitive behaviors and aggression / A.J. KEEFER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-11 (November 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 8-11 (November 2014) . - p.1527-1534 Titre : Methodological considerations when assessing restricted and repetitive behaviors and aggression Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : A.J.

Overall, a significant, but small relationship was found between RRSBI and aggression (p lt; .05). There was significant heterogeneity of estimates with large effect sizes observed when utilizing teacher report and a broad phenotype of aggression. Variance in estimates was attributed to differences in informant and assessment method with two times greater effect attributed to informant. Results suggest strategies to optimize future investigations of the relationship between RRSBI and aggression. Findings also provide the opportunity for the development of targeted interventions for aggression in youth with ASD.

Needs assessment in unmet healthcare and family support services: A survey of caregivers of children and youth with autism spectrum disorder in Delaware / Shylaja SRINIVASAN in Autism Research, 14-8 (August 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-8 (August 2021) . - p.1736-1758 Titre : Needs assessment in unmet healthcare and family support services: A survey of caregivers of children and youth with autism spectrum disorder in Delaware Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Shylaja SRINIVASAN, Auteur ; Annalisa EKBLADH, Auteur ; Brian FREEDMAN, Auteur ; Anjana N.

Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The study aimed to collect data from families of children and youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the state of Delaware, USA to understand their ongoing needs and challenges in accessing child healthcare and family support services. We analyzed responses from 263 caregivers of children and youth with ASD from 3 to 24 years using a statewide needs assessment survey. Over 50% caregivers indicated having unmet needs relative to both child/youth healthcare services and family support services. Between 24 and 38% caregivers expressed unmet needs for healthcare services such as social skills training, speech-language therapy, behavioral intervention, and occupational therapy for their child and 20-24% expressed needs for family support services such as respite care, parent/sibling support groups, counseling, and babysitting support. Additionally, number of prior early interventions received, limitations in accessing healthcare services, and unmet needs for family support services significantly predicted child/youth unmet healthcare needs. Greater ASD severity and difficulties accessing child/youth healthcare services predicted participant's functional dependence on caregivers for activities of daily living. Together, these findings call for designing holistic, family-centered interventions that address needs of both children and youth with ASD and their families. LAY SUMMARY: A statewide needs assessment survey of caregivers of children and youth with ASD revealed that 50% responders had unmet needs relative to both child/youth healthcare services and family support services. Number of prior services received, limitations in accessing healthcare, and unmet needs for family support are linked to child/youth unmet healthcare needs. Severity of autism and difficulties accessing child/youth healthcare are associated with participant's functional dependence. Together, these findings call for placing the family at the heart of the service system in ASD.

Parental relationship status and age at autism spectrum disorder diagnosis of their child / Luke G. KALB in Autism, 25-8 (November 2021)

Conflict of interest: The authors have indicated they have no potential  conflicts of interest to disclose. Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be diagnosed as early as 18 months of age. However, the average age at diagnosis in the United States is over 2 years later. A lot has been written about the many barriers families face when seeking a diagnosis for their child. One area of research that has received no attention is whether separation between a child's biological parents affects the age at which a child is diagnosed with ASD. This study was conducted among 561 children who were receiving an ASD diagnosis for the first time. On average, these children were 5 years of age. The study took place in an urban, outpatient specialty autism clinic in the United States. Biological parents self-reported their relationship status during the evaluation. This was categorized as either "together" (married or living together but not married) or "not together" (separated, divorced, or never married). At the time of diagnosis, most children's biological parents were together (69%). We found children of parents who were together were diagnosed 1.4 years earlier than those who were not together. These findings have important implications for providing support to families that separate early in a child's life, with the goal of reducing the age at ASD evaluation among single parents and those who have been separated from their child's other biological parent. Providing support to these families is important since earlier age at diagnosis leads to earlier intervention, which can improve long-term outcomes for the child, family, and community as a whole.

A total of 77,911 parent interviews were completed on children aged 3–17 years, of which 913 reported an ASD diagnosis. After controlling for relevant covariates, results from multivariate analyses revealed no evidence to suggest that children with ASD are at an increased risk for living in a household not comprised of their two biological or adoptive parents compared to children without ASD in the United States.
