Developing a Diagnostic and Intervention Package for 2 to 3-Year-Olds with Autism: Outcomes of the Frameworks for Communication approach / Susie CHANDLER in Autism, 6-1 (March 2002)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 6-1 (March 2002) . - p.47-69 Titre : Developing a Diagnostic and Intervention Package for 2 to 3-Year-Olds with Autism: Outcomes of the Frameworks for Communication approach Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Susie CHANDLER, Auteur ; Phil CHRISTIE, Auteur ; Elizabeth NEWSON, Auteur ; Wendy PREVEZER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.47-69 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The aim of the research was to develop and evaluate a model of good practice which would make an explicit link between diagnosis and intervention, and so give parents a very clear rationale for the autism-specific yet individualized programme that they were carrying out. It employed an action research design, which essentially is responsive to participants, thus developing a user-friendly model of service. The programme was based on the developmental perspective that the pragmatics of language are the precursors of speech itself and enable both communication and relationship between child and parents. Since these are impaired in autism they should therefore be prioritized in early intervention. Ten children aged 1:10 to 2:9 at assessment, and with a diagnosis of autism, underwent an intervention based on home visits, modelling, workshops and written information, with parents as ‘therapists’ in naturally occurring situations. Within 18 months all children made substantial progress in social interaction and expressive communication, including gestural and verbal communication.

Development of the ‘Extreme Demand Avoidance Questionnaire’ (EDA-Q): preliminary observations on a trait measure for Pathological Demand Avoidance / Elizabeth O'NIONS in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 55-7 (July 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 55-7 (July 2014) . - p.758-768 Titre : Development of the ‘Extreme Demand Avoidance Questionnaire’ (EDA-Q): preliminary observations on a trait measure for Pathological Demand Avoidance Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Elizabeth O'NIONS, Auteur ; Phil CHRISTIE, Auteur ; Judith GOULD, Auteur ; Essi VIDING, Auteur ; Francesca HAPPE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.758-768 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  ASD  pathological demand avoidance  PDA  pervasive developmental disorder  conduct problems  oppositional defiant disorder  ODD  disruptive behaviour Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is a term increasingly used in the United Kingdom to describe children who obsessively resist everyday demands, going to extreme lengths to avoid these. There is debate about its relationship with both autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). Unlike ASD, children with PDA are said to use socially manipulative avoidance strategies; and unlike ODD, they resort to extreme, embarrassing or age-inappropriate behaviour. To date, there has been little research into PDA, and it remains contentious. Currently, there are no questionnaire instruments available to aid consistency in description. This study reports the development and preliminary validation of the ‘Extreme Demand Avoidance Questionnaire’ (EDA-Q), designed to quantify PDA traits based on parent-reported information. Methods The validation study involved data from 326 parents of children aged 5-17 allocated to six groups based on information reported by parents about received diagnoses and behavioural difficulties: (a) typically developing children (N = 102), (b) children with ASD without disruptive behaviour (N = 36), (c) children with ASD with disruptive behaviour (N = 48), (d) children for whom PDA was suspected by parents (irrespective of other diagnoses) (N = 67), (e) children who had, according to parents, been identified as having PDA by a health professional, irrespective of other diagnoses (N = 50), and (6) disruptive behaviour or behavioural problems without suspected/identified ASD or PDA (N = 23). Results Although the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) did not differentiate PDA from those with ASD plus disruptive behaviour; score on the EDA-Q was significantly higher in PDA than all comparison groups. ROC analysis indicated good sensitivity (.80) and specificity (.85). Across all case groups, females scored higher than males on the EDA-Q. Separate cut-off scores were identified for older and younger age-groups. Conclusions Our findings highlight the potential utility of the EDA-Q to assist the identification of this unusual profile for future research.

Promoting social and emotional development in children with autism: personal tutorials / Phil CHRISTIE in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 9-2 (October 2008)

Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 9-2 (October 2008) . - p.32-38 Titre : Promoting social and emotional development in children with autism: personal tutorials Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Phil CHRISTIE, Auteur ; Ruth FIDLER, Auteur ; Becky BUTTERFIELD, Auteur ; Kathleen J. DAVIES, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.32-38 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is an increasing emphasis upon gaining the views of pupils on the autism spectrum to inform plans and to enhance their social and emotional wellbeing and mental health. Developing ways of engaging pupils with limited communication is a particular challenge. This paper describes the individual sessions that staff within a specialist school have set up for many of its pupils. The focus and rationale of the work is given and the three case studies presented here show how staff have worked successfully with different pupils with a range of communication skills and needs. Comments from pupils, parents and staff provide some qualitative data on the potential benefits and the commitment needed for training and skills development among the staff for this work is emphasised.

The distinctive clinical and educational needs of children with Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome : guidelines for good practice / Phil CHRISTIE in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 8-1 (May 2007)

Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 8-1 (May 2007) . - p.3-12 Titre : The distinctive clinical and educational needs of children with Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome : guidelines for good practice Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Phil CHRISTIE, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.3-12 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Phil Christie is currently the Director of Children's Services within the Nottighamshire Regional Society for Children and Adults with Autism (NoRSACA) and has been Principal of a specialist school for children with autism for over 25 years. This paper, The distinctive clinical and educational needs of children with Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome : guidelines for good practice, was first presented at the World Autism Congress held in Cape Town, South Africa in 2006. It describes a syndrome that was identified over a long period of time by Professor Elizabeth Newson, often during work done jointly with this author, Phil Christie. In the many diagnostic assessments conducted at the Child Development Research Unit based at the University of Nottingham, she found there were children referred with a possible diagnosis of autism who did not seem typical in that they shared some of the features but displayed other very different behaviours and characteristics. There were also more girls affected than boys. After several years of careful note-taking and interview with parents, Professor Newson felt that there was sufficient evidence to create a new syndrome or diagnostic description within the category of Pervasive Developmental Disorders. She named this Pathological Demand Avoidance syndrome and first brought it to public attention in 1980s. Since that time, there has been much debate between professionals as to whether this is indeed a separate condition or whether the behaviours found in PDA can be explained within other disorders such as attachment disorder or personality disorder or a female form of autism. Readers of this paper can send their thoughts and personal experiences to the author or the Editors of GAP to add to the debate.
