Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 18-5 (July 2014) . - p.485-492 Titre : An investigation of the security of caregiver attachment during middle childhood in children with high-functioning autistic disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Felicity CHANDLER, Auteur ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.485-492 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : attachment  high-functioning autism  security Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Previous research has investigated caregiver attachment relationships in children with autism during early childhood, with few differences found from matched control groups. However, little is known of this relationship during middle childhood (ages 8–12 years). In this study, the aim was to establish whether there are differences in the security of attachment in children with high-functioning autism compared to typically developing children. A secondary aim was to establish whether caregivers’ perceptions of their child’s attachment to them accorded with the children’s own reports. Twenty-one children with high-functioning autism and 17 typically developing children were administered the Kerns Security Scale and the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment–Revised, and caregivers completed the same questionnaires from the viewpoint of their child. There were no differences between the groups in the children’s and parents’ reports of attachment security. Parents’ and children’s reports were moderately correlated on the Kerns Security Scale but were not correlated on the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment–Revised. The results indicate that levels of attachment security in children with high-functioning autism are not different from those in typically developing children.

Brief Report: An Exploratory Study Comparing Diagnostic Outcomes for Autism Spectrum Disorders Under DSM-IV-TR with the Proposed DSM-5 Revision / Vicki M. GIBBS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-8 (August 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 42-8 (August 2012) . - p.1750-1756 Titre : Brief Report: An Exploratory Study Comparing Diagnostic Outcomes for Autism Spectrum Disorders Under DSM-IV-TR with the Proposed DSM-5 Revision Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Vicki M. GIBBS, Auteur ; Fiona J. ALDRIDGE, Auteur ; Felicity CHANDLER, Auteur ; Ellen WITZLSPERGER, Auteur ; Karen S. SMITH, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.1750-1756 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Asperger’s Disorder  Autistic Disorder  PDD-NOS  Assessment  Diagnosis  DSM-IV-TR  DSM-5  Social Communication Disorder Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The proposed revision for Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—Fifth Edition (DSM-5) represents a shift from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR). As the proposed DSM-5 criteria require a higher minimum number of symptoms to be present compared to DSM-IV-TR, there have been some concerns about the impact that this will have on diagnostic outcomes. Therefore, the current study aimed to compare diagnostic outcomes using both DSM-IV-TR and DSM-5 criteria for 132 children. Of the 111 participants who received an ASD diagnosis under DSM-IV-TR, 26 did not meet DSM-5 criteria. The majority of these had received a DSM-IV-TR PDD-NOS diagnosis. Implications of the results and the proposed DSM-5 changes to the ASD criteria are discussed.

Missed opportunities: An investigation of pathways to autism diagnosis in Australia / Vicki GIBBS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 57 (January 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 57 (January 2019) . - p.55-62 Titre : Missed opportunities: An investigation of pathways to autism diagnosis in Australia Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Vicki GIBBS, Auteur ; Fiona J. ALDRIDGE, Auteur ; Elizabeth SBURLATI, Auteur ; Felicity CHANDLER, Auteur ; Karen SMITH, Auteur ; Lauren CHENG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.55-62 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Delay  Diagnosis  Age of diagnosis  Diagnostic “gap” Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Reliable diagnoses of autism can be made as early as two years of age. Many children in Australia are diagnosed with autism at a later age. Delayed diagnosis can lead to missed opportunities for early intervention. This study aims to investigate the factors associated with age of diagnosis in Australia and to examine where delays are occurring in the diagnostic pathway. Method Family and child characteristics, age of first concern, and outcomes of previous professional consultations were collected and analysed for 215 children undergoing assessment for autism in Sydney, Australia. Results The average age of diagnosis was 5 years. Children with more severe autism, and those with no co-morbid diagnosis were diagnosed at a younger age. Average age of first concern was 23 months, and parents consulted professionals, on average, just over 8 months later. Seventy percent of the children were not identified as having possible autism at this initial consultation. The average gap between first consultation and diagnosis of autism was 2 years, 4 months. Conclusions This study provided further evidence of delayed diagnosis of children in Australia. Those with level 2 or 3 autism, no co-morbid diagnosis and earlier parental first concerns were diagnosed earlier. In general, parents have concerns and take action in a timely manner. Delays in the diagnostic pathway were apparent from the first professional consultation where autism was often not identified. This could be addressed by training professionals about early indicators, milder forms of autism, and differential diagnosis.
