Effectiveness of a fundamental motor skill intervention for 4-year-old children with autism spectrum disorder: A pilot study / Emily BREMER in Autism, 19-8 (November 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 19-8 (November 2015) . - p.980-991 Titre : Effectiveness of a fundamental motor skill intervention for 4-year-old children with autism spectrum disorder: A pilot study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Emily BREMER, Auteur ; Robert BALOGH, Auteur ; Meghann LLOYD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.980-991 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  behavior  fundamental motor skills  intervention  play  preschool Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A wait-list control experimental design was employed to investigate the effectiveness of a fundamental motor skill intervention at improving the motor skills, adaptive behavior, and social skills of 4-year-old children with autism spectrum disorder (experimental n?=?5, control n?=?4); the impact of intervention intensity was also explored. The experimental group significantly improved their object manipulation and overall motor scores from pre- to post-intervention. The wait-list control design revealed no group-by-time interactions; however, with the groups combined time was a significant factor for all motor variables. There were no significant changes in adaptive behavior and social skills. These preliminary findings suggest that a fundamental motor skill intervention may benefit young children with autism spectrum disorder. Future research with larger samples is warranted.

Health conditions and service use of autistic women and men: A retrospective population-based case-control study / Ami TINT in Autism, 27-6 (August 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 27-6 (August 2023) . - p.1641-1657 Titre : Health conditions and service use of autistic women and men: A retrospective population-based case-control study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ami TINT, Auteur ; Hannah CHUNG, Auteur ; Meng-Chuan LAI, Auteur ; Robert BALOGH, Auteur ; Elizabeth LIN, Auteur ; Anna DURBIN, Auteur ; Yona LUNSKY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1641-1657 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism;gender;mental health;physical health;service use;sex differences;women Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study used administrative data to compare the socio-demographics, health conditions, and health service use of autistic adults with adults with and without other developmental disabilities, after matching for age and sex. Autistic women and men were more likely to have a wide range of physical and mental health conditions compared to adults without developmental disabilities. Rates of co-occurring health conditions were similar or lower among autistic adults compared to adults with other developmental disabilities, except for a higher prevalence of psychiatric conditions among autistic adults. Notably increased psychiatric service use was evident among autistic women and men compared to the other groups. Among age-matched autistic women and men, significant differences were found for physical (i.e. Crohn?s disease/colitis, rheumatoid arthritis) and psychiatric conditions (i.e. psychotic disorders, non-psychotic disorders), as well as service use (i.e. emergency department visits, hospitalizations, family doctor and neurologist visits). These findings suggest autistic adults have high health care needs, as do adults with other developmental disabilities. Mental health support is especially critical for autistic adults and research examining sex and gender effects will assist in tailoring health promotion and intervention efforts.Lay abstractThis study used administrative data from Ontario, Canada to compare the health conditions and service use of autistic women and men with adults with other developmental disabilities and with adults without developmental disabilities. Autistic women and men were more likely to have physical and mental health conditions compared to adults without developmental disabilities. Rates of health conditions were similar or lower among autistic adults compared to adults with other developmental disabilities, except more autistic adults had psychiatric conditions. Autistic women and men used higher rates of psychiatric services compared to all other groups. When comparing autistic women with same aged autistic men, sex differences were found for specific physical (Crohn?s disease/colitis, rheumatoid arthritis) and psychiatric conditions (psychotic disorders, non-psychotic disorders), as well differences in service use (emergency department visits, hospitalizations, family doctor and neurologist visits). These results further highlight the high health needs and service use of autistic women and men, as well as adults with other developmental disabilities. It is critical for future research to focus on mental health support for autistic adults and to better understand how to tailor supports to best serve autistic women.

Polypharmacy profiles and predictors among adults with autism spectrum disorders / Johanna K. LAKE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-3 (July-September 2012)

Despite high rates of psychotropic drug use documented in children with ASD, very few studies have examined medication profiles, side effects, and rates of polypharmacy in adolescents and adults with ASD. To address this, we examined medication profiles and predictors of polypharmacy among 142 adults with ASD who had experienced a psychiatric crisis. Of the 142 adults sampled, 91 (64.1%) were prescribed at least 1 psychotropic medication and 41 (28.9%) were taking 3 or more psychotropic medications. Variables associated with and predictive of polypharmacy included history of aggression, residence, and psychiatric support. Adults with ASD are a highly medicated population and polypharmacy is a significant concern in this vulnerable group of individuals.

Premature mortality in a population-based cohort of autistic adults in Canada / Yona LUNSKY in Autism Research, 15-8 (August 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 15-8 (August 2022) . - p.1550-1559 Titre : Premature mortality in a population-based cohort of autistic adults in Canada Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yona LUNSKY, Auteur ; Meng-Chuan LAI, Auteur ; Robert BALOGH, Auteur ; Hannah CHUNG, Auteur ; Anna DURBIN, Auteur ; Patrick JACHYRA, Auteur ; Ami TINT, Auteur ; Jonathan WEISS, Auteur ; Elizabeth LIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1550-1559 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adult  Autism Spectrum Disorder/epidemiology  Autistic Disorder/epidemiology  Child  Cohort Studies  Developmental Disabilities/epidemiology  Female  Humans  Infant, Newborn  Male  Mortality, Premature  Ontario/epidemiology  autism  developmental disabilities  premature mortality  sex differences Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research from different countries suggests that autistic adults are more likely to die prematurely than non-autistic adults, but these studies do not always investigate male and female individuals separately and do not consider whether this pattern is unique to autistic people or is also an issue for people with other developmental disabilities. We examined premature mortality in autistic males and females (assigned at birth) in a population-based cohort, compared to males and females with and without other developmental disabilities. Using linked administrative health and social services population data from Ontario, Canada, age-matched males and females aged 19-65years were followed between 2010 and 2016, and causes of death were determined. Over the 6-year observation period, 330 of 42,607 persons (0.77%) in the group without developmental disabilities had died compared to 259 of 10,646 persons (2.43%) in the autism group and 419 of 10,615 persons (3.95%) in the other developmental disabilities group. Autistic males and females were more likely to die than non-autistic males (adjusted risk ratio, RR 3.13, 95%CI 2.58-3.79) and non-autistic females (adjusted RR 3.12, 95%CI 2.35-4.13) without developmental disabilities, but were less likely to die than adults with other developmental disabilities (males: adjusted RR 0.66, 95%CI 0.55-0.79; females: adjusted RR 0.55, 95%CI 0.43-0.71). Most common causes of death varied depending on a person's sex and diagnosis. Given the greater likelihood of premature mortality in adults with developmental disabilities including autism, greater attention and resources directed toward their health and social care are needed, tailored to their sex and diagnosis-informed needs. LAY SUMMARY: This study looked at how many autistic men and women died over 6years (2010-2016), along with how they died, and compared this to adults who did not have autism living in Ontario, Canada. It found that autistic men and women were more than three times as likely to die as people of the same age who did not have a developmental disability. However, adults with other developmental disabilities besides autism were even more likely to die than autistic adults. This means that we have to pay more attention and invest in better social and health care for autistic people, along with people who have other types of developmental disabilities.
