GRONDHUIS, Auteur ; Michael G. AMAN, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.1345-1365 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Anxiety  Autism  Assessment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Anxiety disorders are among the most common comorbid conditions in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), although assessment presents unique challenges. Many symptoms of anxiety appear to overlap with common presentations of autism. Furthermore, deficits in language and cognitive functioning make it difficult for such children to convey their emotional states accurately. A comprehensive review of the recent literature was conducted to assay the types and rates of use of tools for evaluating anxiety symptoms in children and adolescents with ASDs. We identified strengths and weaknesses in existing scales, identified instruments that (although imperfect) seem to have a good coverage for youngsters with ASDs, recommended strategies for studying anxiety in these youth, and offered suggestions for future scale development.

Differences in verbal and nonverbal IQ test scores in children with autism spectrum disorder / Sabrina N. GRONDHUIS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 49 (May 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 49 (May 2018) . - p.47-55 Titre : Differences in verbal and nonverbal IQ test scores in children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sabrina N. GRONDHUIS, Auteur ; Luc LECAVALIER, Auteur ; L. Eugene ARNOLD, Auteur ; Benjamin L. HANDEN, Auteur ; Lawrence SCAHILL, Auteur ; Christopher J. MCDOUGLE, Auteur ; Michael G. AMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.47-55 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  ASD  Intelligence  IQ  Language  Assessment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Intelligence tests are a fundamental component of diagnostic assessments for children with suspected autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There are many assessments available, but scores across tests may not be comparable in children with ASD. Method Eighty children (68 boys) age 4–14 years with ASD completed the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales, 5th Edition (SB5), a verbal measure of intelligence, and the Leiter International Performance Scale – Revised (Leiter-R), a nonverbal measure of intelligence. Results Although discrepancies went in both directions, we found significantly higher mean scores on the Leiter-R than SB5 (9.6 point difference). Children younger than 8 years had more pronounced discrepancies (13.8 points vs. 3.5 points for >8?years), and children with less-developed language skills had greater discrepancies (13.1 points vs. 5.8 points for higher language skills). Conclusion This suggests these IQ tests are not interchangeable and language demands may produce different results that could impact clinician interpretation. Both clinicians and researchers should be aware of the likely impact of adopting primarily verbal vs. nonverbal tests when assessing children with ASD, especially those with less language.

Measuring Anxiety as a Treatment Endpoint in Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Luc LECAVALIER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-5 (May 2014)

This is due, in part, to incomplete consensus on the manifestations of anxiety in this population. Autism Speaks assembled a panel of experts to conduct a systematic review of available measures for anxiety in youth with ASD. To complete the review, the panel held monthly conference calls and two face-to-face meetings over a fourteen-month period. Thirty eight published studies were reviewed and ten assessment measures were examined: four were deemed appropriate for use in clinical trials, although with conditions; three were judged to be potentially appropriate, while three were considered not useful for clinical trials assessing anxiety. Despite recent advances, additional relevant, reliable and valid outcome measures are needed to evaluate treatments for anxiety in ASD.
