Prenatal, perinatal, and neonatal factors associated with self-injurious behaviors in children with autism spectrum disorder / Gnakub Norbert SOKE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 61 (May 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 61 (May 2019) . - p.1-9 Titre : Prenatal, perinatal, and neonatal factors associated with self-injurious behaviors in children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Gnakub Norbert SOKE, Auteur ; Steve A. ROSENBERG, Auteur ; Richard F. HAMMAN, Auteur ; Tasha E. FINGERLIN, Auteur ; C. Robinson ROSENBERG, Auteur ; Laura A. CARPENTER, Auteur ; Li-Ching LEE, Auteur ; Ellen GIARELLI, Auteur ; Lisa D. WIGGINS, Auteur ; Maureen S. DURKIN, Auteur ; Carolyn G. DIGUISEPPI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Self-injurious behaviors  Autism spectrum disorder  Autism  Predictors  Challenging behaviors  Prenatal Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Studies that examine the role of factors documented before self-injurious behaviors (SIB) occur are important in establishing a temporal relationship between these factors and SIB. Using data from a population-based surveillance system of 8-year-olds with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), we: (1) explored potential associations between SIB and prenatal, perinatal, and neonatal factors identified from birth certificates, and 2) validated associations between SIB and developmental, behavioral, medical factors accounting for the above prenatal, perinatal, and neonatal factors. Methods We included 4343 children from the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network from the 2000, 2006, and 2008 surveillance years. Prenatal, perinatal and neonatal characteristics were obtained from birth certificates. SIB and other potential risk factors were abstracted from children's health or education records. The associations between SIB and various potential risk factors were tested using non-linear mixed models. Results Lower maternal educational attainment (adjusted odds-ratio [aOR]: 1.35 [95% confidence interval 1.10–1.67]), prenatal maternal cigarette smoking (1.47 [1.09–1.98]), and electronic fetal monitoring during labor (1.70 [1.02–2.84]) were associated with SIB. In addition, we validated previous associations between SIB and developmental regression, lower IQ, behavioral, sensory and sleep problems, co-occurring developmental and psychiatric diagnoses. Conclusions The associations between SIB and maternal smoking, low maternal education attainment may be due to various factors, including low SES and limited access to specialized ASD services. Electronic fetal monitoring may be a marker for unmeasured perinatal complications. Findings reported in this study have implications for better understanding of factors associated with SIB to guide prevention and interventions.

Support, socialise and advocate: An exploration of the stated purposes of Facebook autism groups / Susan ABEL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 61 (May 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 61 (May 2019) . - p.10-21 Titre : Support, socialise and advocate: An exploration of the stated purposes of Facebook autism groups Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Susan ABEL, Auteur ; Tanya MACHIN, Auteur ; Charlotte BROWNLOW, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.10-21 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  ASD  Social support  Facebook groups Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : With a rapidly growing global population of just over two billion users, Facebook has changed the way many people engage with each other. Whilst the autism community—autistic people, their families and carers, and their broader support network—are represented in this population there is limited research about how or why this community intends to use Facebook to connect and communicate. This exploratory study aimed to characterise the stated purposes of Facebook groups related to autism and their target membership. The terms autism, Asperger, ASD, Aspie, and wrong planet were used to search for Facebook groups. Using a content analysis, the group name, description, privacy status and member count of 500 autism groups on Facebook were examined. The groups had a combined membership of 905,655 English-speaking users and were created for support (60.4%), social companionship (16.4%), advocacy (15.8%), treatments (5.6%), sales (1.0%) and fundraising (0.8%). Most of the groups had a target membership of parents and families (57.4%), autistic people (23.4%), and women (10.4%). Many groups specified group etiquette (36.4%), or the geographic location of members (42.8%). Of the groups targeting autistic people, 77.8% used identity-first language, while 58.2% of groups targeting parents and families used person-first language. Separate and shared neuro-spaces appear to be negotiated within these Facebook groups and this could stimulate critical discussion around the autism community’s engagement with social media. These Facebook groups are designed to provide support to autistic people and their families and to provide social networking opportunities for autistic people.

Their characterization is extremely relevant, as they could impact on social abilities based on the understanding of others’ actions. Method Fifty-two typically developing children (TD) and 13 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) took part to the study. Children were evaluated in pantomime execution, and in two tasks based on pantomime observation: recognition of pantomime meaning, and error recognition, with observed pantomimes that could contain spatial, temporal or body-part-as-tool errors.

Improving autism screening in French-speaking countries: Validation of the Autism Discriminative Tool, a teacher-rated questionnaire for clinicians’ use / Sophie CARLIER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 61 (May 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 61 (May 2019) . - p.33-44 Titre : Improving autism screening in French-speaking countries: Validation of the Autism Discriminative Tool, a teacher-rated questionnaire for clinicians’ use Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sophie CARLIER, Auteur ; Lesley DUCENNE, Auteur ; Christophe LEYS, Auteur ; Razvana STANCIU, Auteur ; Nicolas DECONINCK, Auteur ; Anne WINTGENS, Auteur ; Marie-Joëlle OREVE, Auteur ; Véronique DELVENNE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.33-44 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism discriminative tool  Autism spectrum disorders  Screening  Teachers  Preschoolers  Specificity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autism screening remains a major challenge in most French-speaking countries. Two main issues contribute to this problematic situation: unavailability of tests in French and psychometric/ methodological weaknesses of existing instruments. These shortfalls result in late and inadequate referrals to autism specialist clinics, jeopardising both children’s diagnosis and prognosis. This article describes the validation of the Autism Discriminative Tool (ADT), a teacher-rated level-two screener for children aged two to six years. It demonstrates how the ADT specific properties may help reduce actual screening challenges and improve referrals’ adequacy to tertiary autism diagnostic services. Method ADT items were prospectively tested in a community-based group (n?=?118), children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD; n?=?90) and non-ASD children presenting mimicking conditions such as intellectual disabilities, language impairments and various psychological disorders (n?=?36). Children in the clinical samples were rated by their teacher at the beginning of a diagnostic assessment process within three specialised autism clinics. Results results suggest that a 26-item version performs well as a stage-two screening device, with theoretical sensitivity rate of 0.83, specificity of 0.94 and an overall correct detection rate of 86.5%. Using different cut-off scores categories, results illustrate how inadequate referrals may be avoided as 44% of non-ASD children scored negatively on the questionnaire prior to their evaluation. Conclusions based on blind teachers’ ratings, the ADT appears to be a good complementary device to help French-speaking clinicians identify preschoolers needing multidisciplinary ASD diagnostic assessment.

The experiences of peer relationships amongst autistic adolescents: A systematic review of the qualitative evidence / Lily CRESSWELL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 61 (May 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 61 (May 2019) . - p.45-60 Titre : The experiences of peer relationships amongst autistic adolescents: A systematic review of the qualitative evidence Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lily CRESSWELL, Auteur ; Rebecca HINCH, Auteur ; Eilidh CAGE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.45-60 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Systematic review  Adolescence  Friendship  Peer relationships Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Peer relationships can be especially difficult for autistic adolescents, given their marked social communication difficulties. The purpose of this systematic review is to synthesise reported qualitative findings on how autistic adolescents experience peer relationships, including the rewards and challenges, from their perspective. The review includes the perspectives of others (e.g. parents, support workers), from included papers where these were reported in addition to the adolescent viewpoint. Method PRISMA guidelines and the Joanna Briggs Institute meta-aggregative approach to qualitative synthesis informed this review process. Articles included were published in the last ten years, specific to autistic adolescents between the ages of 10 and 19. Of the 75 articles meeting eligibility for full-text review, ten matched the final inclusion criteria. Results Findings relating to four main themes emerged from the qualitative synthesis: understanding friendship, having and wanting friends, challenges of peer relationships and overcoming challenges. Fourteen sub-topics are described in detail, for example, that autistic adolescents do have and want friends, though this is often not easily achieved, leading to feelings of loneliness. Findings also revealed experiences of peer rejection and victimisation, and specific factors that might make building positive peer relationships difficult, such as group settings. Conclusions Autistic adolescents face a number of difficulties with understanding social rules and conventions, which seem to make peer relationships difficult. However, due to many autistic adolescents having a desire for friendship, some have developed ways of overcoming these challenges. This review highlights that additional support is needed to support the development of autistic adolescents’ social skills and awareness; further research is needed to establish how this could be done most effectively.
