A comparison of experimental functional analysis and the Questions About Behavioral Function (QABF) in the assessment of challenging behavior of individuals with autism / Olive HEALY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-1 (January 2013)

Both assessments found that self injurious behavior (SIB) was mostly maintained by automatic reinforcement and escape from task demands. Aggressive/destructive behavior was found to be maintained by escape and access to tangibles, whereas stereotypy was mostly maintained by automatic reinforcement. There was exact agreement on function(s) between the two assessments for 24 participants and partial agreement for six participants. Results suggest that the QABF has clinical utility and is an effective tool for ascribing behavioral function. Implications of the present findings for future assessment of behavioral function are discussed.

Factors Affecting Age at ASD Diagnosis in UK: No Evidence that Diagnosis Age has Decreased Between 2004 and 2014 / Denise BRETT in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-6 (June 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 46-6 (June 2016) . - p.1974-1984 Titre : Factors Affecting Age at ASD Diagnosis in UK: No Evidence that Diagnosis Age has Decreased Between 2004 and 2014 Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Denise BRETT, Auteur ; Frances WARNELL, Auteur ; Helen MCCONACHIE, Auteur ; Jeremy R. PARR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1974-1984 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Autism spectrum disorder  ASD  Age at diagnosis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Clinical initiatives have aimed to reduce the age at ASD diagnosis in the UK. This study investigated whether the median age at diagnosis in childhood has reduced in recent years, and identified the factors associated with earlier diagnosis in the UK. Data on 2134 children with ASD came from two large family databases. Results showed that the age of ASD diagnosis has not decreased. The median age of diagnosis of all ASDs was 55 months. Factors associated with earlier age of diagnosis were autism diagnosis (compared with other ASD), language regression, language delay, lower socioeconomic status, and greater degree of support required. Effective clinical strategies are needed to identify children with characteristics that have in the past delayed ASD diagnosis.

Managing Repetitive Behaviours in Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial of a New Parent Group Intervention / Victoria GRAHAME in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-10 (October 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 45-10 (October 2015) . - p.3168-3182 Titre : Managing Repetitive Behaviours in Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial of a New Parent Group Intervention Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Victoria GRAHAME, Auteur ; Denise BRETT, Auteur ; Linda DIXON, Auteur ; Helen MCCONACHIE, Auteur ; Jessica LOWRY, Auteur ; Jacqui RODGERS, Auteur ; Nick STEEN, Auteur ; Ann LE COUTEUR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3168-3182 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Restricted and repetitive behaviour  Parent group intervention  Clinical global impression of improvement  Randomised controlled trial Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Early intervention for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) tends to focus on enhancing social-communication skills. We report the acceptability, feasibility and impact on child functioning of a new 8 weeks parent-group intervention to manage restricted and repetitive behaviours (RRB) in young children with ASD aged 3–7 years. Forty-five families took part in the pilot RCT. A range of primary and secondary outcome measures were collected on four occasions (baseline, 10, 18 and 24 weeks) to capture both independent ratings and parent-reported changes in RRB. This pilot established that parents were willing to be recruited and randomised, and the format and content of the intervention was feasible. Fidelity of delivery was high, and attendance was 90 %. A fully powered trial is now planned.
