HYDE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1-12 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Auditory  Music  Perception  Cognition  Development Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by socio-communicative difficulties and restricted patterns of behavior. Despite these challenges, some individuals with ASD have preserved or even enhanced sensory skills, for example in the case of music. As such, music provides a key way to study sensory processing and individual differences in ASD. However, current studies of music perception in ASD have mixed results. Methods This study sought to examine music perception in terms of melodic pitch, rhythm, and memory in school-age children with ASD compared to typically-developing (TD) children. Music perception was investigated as a function of verbal and non-verbal IQ, age, and ASD social symptom severity. Results Children with ASD performed similar to TD children on melodic pitch perception, rhythm perception and melodic memory. Melodic pitch perception in particular was strongly associated with non-verbal cognitive abilities in the ASD group. Similar effects of age on performance were observed in ASD and TD; in particular, rhythm discrimination increased with age in both groups. Music perception in ASD was not associated with ASD social symptom severity. Discussion These findings provide further evidence for intact melodic and rhythmic perception in children with ASD. In addition, music perception abilities were related to non-verbal cognitive ability and age in ASD, and not with ASD social symptom severity. This research provides a better understanding of individual differences in auditory processing, helps to better define phenotypes in ASD, and can guide future studies on the effects of music therapy in ASD.

Despite the wealth of knowledge on repetitive behaviors in HFASD, there are few studies on repetitive behaviors from the perspective of adults with HFASD. Here, data were collected from semi structured, phenomenological interviews with 16 adults (aged 35–55 years) with ASD. The findings indicated four main reasons for repetitive behavior: enhancing the ability to function; reducing external stimuli and avoiding communication; coping with stress, distress, and excitement; and coping with social communication. Conclusion The findings suggest that repetitive behaviors play a functional role in people with HFASD and also serve as a way for these individuals to cope with their environment.

Thinning faster? Age-related cortical thickness differences in adults with autism spectrum disorder / B. Blair BRADEN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 64 (August 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 64 (August 2019) . - p.31-38 Titre : Thinning faster? Age-related cortical thickness differences in adults with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : B. Blair BRADEN, Auteur ; Cory RIECKEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.31-38 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD  Autism  Aging  Cortical thickness  MRI  Temporal lobe  Brain  Gray matter Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Over the course of the last 30 years, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnoses have increased, thus identifying a large group of aging individuals with ASD. Currently, little is known regarding how aging will affect these individual's neuroanatomy, compared to the neurotypical (NT) population. Because of the anatomical overlap of ASD-related cortical pathology and age-related cortical thinning, both following an anterior-to-posterior severity gradient, we hypothesize adults with ASD will show larger age-related cortical thinning than NT adults. Methods We analyzed cortical measurements using available data from the multi-site Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange I (ABIDE I; n?=?282) and our own cohort of middle-age to older adults with and without ASD (n?=?47) mostly available in ABIDE II (n?=?35). We compared correlations between cortical measures and age in right-handed adults with ASD (n?=?157) and similar NT adults (n?=?172), controlling for IQ and site. Participants were 18–64 years of age (mean?=?29.8 years; median?=?26 years). Results We found significant differences between diagnosis groups in the relationship between age and cortical thickness for areas of left frontal lobe (pars opercularis), temporal lobe (inferior gyrus, middle gyrus, banks of the superior temporal sulcus, and entorhinal cortex), parietal lobe (inferior gyrus), and lateral occipital lobe. For all areas, adults with ASD showed a greater negative correlation between age and cortical thickness than NT adults. Conclusion As hypothesized, adults with ASD demonstrated exacerbated age-related cortical thinning, compared to NT adults. These differences were the largest and most extensive in the left temporal lobe. Future longitudinal work is warranted to investigate whether differences in brain age trajectories will translate to unique behavioral needs in older adults with ASD.

Methods A group of n?=?2400 unselected Italian toddlers were screened by paediatricians during routine well?CHild visits between 18 and 24 months,in three Italian regions, representative of the North, Centre and South of Italy. The psychometric properties and factor structure of the Q?CHAT were explored and compared with published literature from Asia and the UK. Results The total Q?CHAT scores in our sample confirmed a normal distribution. Mean Q?CHAT scores across regions were consistent with those reported in UK studies and likewise, a gender effect was found, with boys scoring higher than girls.We also found a remarkable consistency with the three-factor structure of the Asian Q?CHAT. Internal consistency was acceptable for both the Q?CHAT total score and the three factors.

Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) as a tool for participatory research within Critical Autism Studies: A systematic review / Andrea MACLEOD in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 64 (August 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 64 (August 2019) . - p.49-62 Titre : Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) as a tool for participatory research within Critical Autism Studies: A systematic review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Andrea MACLEOD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.49-62 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Interpretative phenomenological analysis  Participatory  Critical autism studies  Autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Purpose Interpretative phenomenological analysis is distinctive in foregrounding participants’ interpretations. As such, it is potentially useful for gaining an insight into the lived experience of autistic individuals and aligns well with participatory approaches. This paper provides the first systematic review of IPA studies that have employed a participatory approach and considers their contribution to Critical Autism Studies. Method Four electronic databases were searched to identify peer-reviewed empirical research articles which employed a participatory IPA approach to consult with autistic individuals. Thirteen studies from four countries, published 2008–2018, met the inclusion criteria. These were examined to identify details of the methodology, findings and recommendations in order to consider each in relation to the underpinning philosophies of IPA and participatory research respectively, and their relationship to the stated aims of Critical Autism Studies. Results A range of participatory approaches were employed and their use extended the depth and validity of findings. There was evidence of disruption to power relations in process and outcomes. Making sense of the autism diagnosis was a frequent point of discussion, even when this was not the focus of the study, and across studies, strong commonalities emerged, capturing a multi-dimensionality of ‘autistic identities’. Conclusion This review provides evidence of the usefulness of IPA as a research approach to consult with autistic individuals. It lends itself to a range of participatory techniques and there is scope for these to be used with diverse autistic populations, in order to extend the opportunities for autistic individuals to be represented, and represent themselves, within autism research.

Aim The current paper is aimed to include new studies and provide a stricter and updated meta-analysis to assess the oxytocin's effects on core symptoms in ASD. Method Computerized search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, Web of Science Database and references in reviews from the earliest date available to September 2018. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified which evaluated the effectiveness of oxytocin on at least one of two domains in patients with ASD, namely social function and repetitive behaviors. Standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated, and heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 test. Results Sixteen studies comprising 520 individuals with ASD were included in this meta-analysis. Results suggested that oxytocin had a small and non-significant effect on social function [SMD?=?0.03, 95% CI (?0.19, 0.25), p?=?0.781] and repetitive behaviors [SMD?=?0.01, 95% CI (?0.26, 0.27), p?=?0.952] compared with placebo. Studies included had a low heterogeneity (I2?=?46.4%, p?=?0.025 in social function; I2?=?37.0%, p?=?0.123 in repetitive behaviors). Conclusions The current meta-analysis demonstrated that oxytocin had a small and non-significant effect on core symptoms in ASD population. With the limited number of included studies, more large-scale, rigorously and multi-site RCTs are needed to confirm the effectiveness of oxytocin as a treatment of ASD to acquire more convincing conclusions in the future.

Atypical eating behaviors in children and adolescents with autism, ADHD, other disorders, and typical development / Susan DICKERSON MAYES in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 64 (August 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 64 (August 2019) . - p.76-83 Titre : Atypical eating behaviors in children and adolescents with autism, ADHD, other disorders, and typical development Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Susan DICKERSON MAYES, Auteur ; Hana ZICKGRAF, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.76-83 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Atypical eating behaviors  Picky eating  Limited food preferences  Autism  ADHD  Typical development Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Previous research has not yet examined the prevalence of atypical eating behaviors in children and adolescents with autism compared to those with ADHD, other disorders, and typical development. Method: The sample comprised 2102 children: 1462 with autism, 327 with other disorders (e.g., ADHD, intellectual disability, language disorder, and learning disability), and 313 typical children, 1–18 years of age (mean 7.3). Atypical eating behaviors were assessed with the Checklist for Autism Spectrum Disorder based on a standardized parent interview conducted by licensed psychologists. Results: Atypical eating behaviors were significantly more common in autism (70.4%) than in children with other disorders (13.1%) and typical children (4.8%). For children with autism who had atypical eating behaviors, the most common behavior was limited food preferences (88%), followed by hypersensitivity to food textures (46%), other peculiar patterns most often eating only one brand of food (27%), pocketing food without swallowing (19%), and pica (12%). Grain products and/or chicken (usually nuggets) were the preferred foods for 92% of children with autism who had limited food preferences. For children with autism who had atypical eating behaviors, 25% had three or more atypical eating behaviors (vs. 0% for children with other disorders or typical development). Only children with autism had pica or pocketed food. Conclusions: The number and types of atypical eating behaviors found only in children with autism and not in children with other disorders or typical development should alert clinicians to the possibility of autism and the need to evaluate for autism in order to facilitate early identification and access to evidence-based treatment.

Method: The sample comprised 2102 children: 1462 with autism, 327 with other disorders (e.g., ADHD, intellectual disability, language disorder, and learning disability), and 313 typical children, 1–18 years of age (mean 7.3). Atypical eating behaviors were assessed with the Checklist for Autism Spectrum Disorder based on a standardized parent interview conducted by licensed psychologists. Results: Atypical eating behaviors were significantly more common in autism (70.4%) than in children with other disorders (13.1%) and typical children (4.8%). For children with autism who had atypical eating behaviors, the most common behavior was limited food preferences (88%), followed by hypersensitivity to food textures (46%), other peculiar patterns most often eating only one brand of food (27%), pocketing food without swallowing (19%), and pica (12%). Grain products and/or chicken (usually nuggets) were the preferred foods for 92% of children with autism who had limited food preferences. For children with autism who had atypical eating behaviors, 25% had three or more atypical eating behaviors (vs. 0% for children with other disorders or typical development). Only children with autism had pica or pocketed food. Conclusions: The number and types of atypical eating behaviors found only in children with autism and not in children with other disorders or typical development should alert clinicians to the possibility of autism and the need to evaluate for autism in order to facilitate early identification and access to evidence-based treatment.

Reliability of the participation and sensory environment questionnaire: Community scales / Beth PFEIFFER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 64 (August 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 64 (August 2019) . - p.84-93 Titre : Reliability of the participation and sensory environment questionnaire: Community scales Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Beth PFEIFFER, Auteur ; Aimee PILLER, Auteur ; Katherine B. BEVANS, Auteur ; Chengshi SHIU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.84-93 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Community  Participation  Environment  Autism spectrum disorder Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The Participation and Sensory Environment Questionnaire (P–SEQ): Community Scales is a parent report questionnaire designed to examine the impact of the sensory environment on participation within community activities for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods This study used a cross sectional quantitative design to establish the reliability and discriminate validity of the P–SEQ: Community Scales. Results This study established the initial reliability of the questionnaire including internal consistency of 0.98 test-retest reliability of 0.76. The P–SEQ: Community Scales demonstrated significant differences in item distribution for children without ASD as compared to those with ASD, an essential aspect of construct validity. Conclusions The results of this study indicate that the questionnaire is a reliable tool that can be used to assess the impact of sensory environment’s impact on participation in community activities. Identified barriers can be modified to support participation in community tasks.

Criterion-related validity of the PDDBI: Comparison with the ADOS-2 / Claire SCHUTTE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 64 (August 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 64 (August 2019) . - p.94-100 Titre : Criterion-related validity of the PDDBI: Comparison with the ADOS-2 Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Claire SCHUTTE, Auteur ; Morgan DEVLIN, Auteur ; Wendy RICHARDSON, Auteur ; Jeanna HILL, Auteur ; Laura HEWITSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.94-100 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Pervasive developmental disorder behavior inventory  Autism diagnostic observation schedule  Criterion validity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Pervasive Developmental Disorder Behavior Inventory (PDDBI) was developed to measure response to intervention in children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), as well as to aid in diagnosis for clinical and research purposes. This study examined criterion related validity of the PDDBI through comparison with the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-Second Edition (ADOS-2) in 104 children ages 2–11 years. A positive relationship between the PDDBI Autism Composite and all ADOS-2 scores, as well as some subscale correlations, supported convergent validity of the PDDBI as a measure of ASD symptomatology. Additionally, a significant negative relationship between PDDBI adaptive subscales and ADOS-2 scores reinforced divergent validity. These results add to the literature on the validity of the PDDBI as a measure of ASD symptoms.
