‘What’s new for you?’: Interlocutor-specific perspective-taking and language interpretation in autistic and neuro-typical children / Kirsten ABBOT-SMITH in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 70 (February 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 70 (February 2020) . - p.101465 Titre : ‘What’s new for you?’: Interlocutor-specific perspective-taking and language interpretation in autistic and neuro-typical children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kirsten ABBOT-SMITH, Auteur ; David WILLIAMS, Auteur ; Danielle MATTHEWS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101465 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Children  Pragmatics  Referential communication  Perspective-taking  Interlocutor  Reference  Mentalising  Affect Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Studies have found that children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are more likely to make errors in appropriately producing referring expressions (‘the dog’ vs. ‘the black dog’) than are controls but comprehend them with equal facility. We tested whether this anomaly arises because comprehension studies have focused on manipulating perspective-taking at a ‘generic speaker’ level. Method We compared 24 autistic eight- to eleven-year-old with 24 well-matched neuro-typical controls. Children interpreted requests (e.g. ‘Can I have that ball?’) in contexts which would be ambiguous (i.e. because the child can see two balls) if perspective-taking were not utilized. In the interlocutor-specific perspective-taking condition, the target was the particular object which was new for the speaker. Children needed to take into account what the speaker had played with before and the fact that they were now expressing excitement about something new. In two control ‘speaker-generic’ conditions we tested children’s ability to take the visual perspective of the speaker (where any speaker who stood behind a particular barrier would have the same perspective). Results The autistic group were significantly less likely to select the target and significantly more likely to request clarification in the ‘interlocutor-specific’ condition. Performance in the ‘interlocutor-generic’ (visual) perspective taking conditions did not differ between groups. Conclusion Autistic children, even those who are not intellectually-impaired, tend to have more difficulty than neuro-typical peers in comprehending referring expressions when this requires understanding that people comment on what is new for them.

A longitudinal examination of interactions between autism symptom severity and parenting behaviors in predicting change in child behavior problems / Rebecca A. LINDSEY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 70 (February 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 70 (February 2020) . - p.101469 Titre : A longitudinal examination of interactions between autism symptom severity and parenting behaviors in predicting change in child behavior problems Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rebecca A.

BARRY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101469 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD  Positive parenting  Negative parenting  Externalizing behavior  Internalizing behavior Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often exhibit behavior problems, with more severe ASD symptomatology relating to more severe behavior problems. Behavior problems are correlated with parenting behaviors; however, less research has investigated the relations among specific parenting behaviors and change in child behavior problems, particularly among children with ASD. Method This study examined the interactions among Time 1 ASD symptom severity and parenting behaviors (positive and negative) when predicting Time 2 child internalizing and externalizing behaviors (analyzed separately), when accounting for Time 1 child behavior, caregiver distress, caregiver sex, and child age. The sample included 129 caregivers of a child with ASD (ages 4–10 years) who completed two online questionnaires one year apart, which included measures assessing ASD symptom severity, child behavior problems, parenting behaviors, and caregiver distress. Results Across two hierarchical multiple regression analyses, Time 1 child behavior, caregiver distress, caregiver sex, and negative parenting predicted unique variance in Time 2 child externalizing and internalizing behaviors. The interactions between ASD symptom severity and negative parenting predicting externalizing behaviors and ASD symptom severity and negative parenting predicting internalizing behaviors were significant. Conclusions Examination of plots of the significant interactions suggested higher levels of negative parenting may exacerbate later behavioral problems and lower levels of negative parenting may protect against later behavioral problems for children with less severe ASD symptoms but not for those with more severe ASD symptoms. Results have implications for interventions targeting parenting practices for children with ASD.

We aimed to identify rates of ED utilization among transition-age young adults with autism and examine predictors of utilization in a U.S. national data source. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 2010 Limited Data Set claims from Inpatient and Outpatient files. Medicare beneficiaries aged 18–25 years from three groups were included: autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and no intellectual disability (ID), ASD and ID, and ID-only. Primary outcomes were annual ED visit counts and dichotomous presence of ED visit in claim year. Results Between 43–54% of adults with ASD had an ED visit in the past claim year. Significant predictors of greater ED utilization among adults with ASD included: intellectual disability (IRR=1.19, 95%CI:1.09–1.30), psychiatric utilization in the claim year (IRR=1.42, 95%CI:1.28–1.57), and greater comorbidities as assessed with ACG® risk score (IRR=1.18, 95%CI:1.15–1.20). Minority status was associated with less ED utilization among adults with ASD (IRR=0.86, 95%CI:0.78–0.94). Adults with ASD had significantly fewer annual ED visits than adults with ID-only after controlling for other variables. Conclusions Prevention efforts to reduce ED utilization, especially for those with ID and ASD with co-occurring psychiatric conditions, is warranted. Primary care providers and case managers should develop care plans to reduce the likelihood for emergency psychiatric utilization and ensure alternative care pathways. ED clinicians may require additional training to address the needs of this population when they present to the ED in crisis.

However, relatively little remains known about how these studies have examined specific writing skills, particularly from a writing research perspective. This study systematically reviewed descriptive and intervention studies using a language domains and mediational systems framework to examine how studies have examined transcription (handwriting and spelling) and translation/text generation (written expression) skills and associations between writing skills with language domain and mediational systems skills. Study quality indicators including reference to writing research and theory were also examined. Method From an initial screening of 1,958 records, 46 studies (29 descriptive and 17 intervention) were retained for inclusion. Studies were coded for study characteristics, quality indicators, and reported writing and writing-associated skills. Results Studies included 1,166 participants who were predominantly male with a verified ASD diagnosis but varied on other characteristics. Study quality was low for certain indicators (i.e., power analysis and generalization), and fewer studies referenced writing theory compared to writing research. Studies reported on different writing skills (transcription: 52%; translation/text generation: 70%) but infrequently reported on associations with language domains (0–7%) and mediational systems (24–43%). Conclusions Studies have focused predominantly on assessing transcription or translation/text generation skills with little systematic attention to relationships between writing and language domain or mediational systems skills. Reviewed studies offer preliminary findings, areas of needed future research, and implications for continued research into understanding and supporting the writing skill development of children with ASD.

For example, when asked what causes ASD, most participants reported hereditary and neurological factors. Exploratory Factor Analyses (EFAs) revealed two separate two-factor subscales for causes and general views about ASD. Findings revealed ethnic differences in participants’ beliefs about Psychosocial Causes, Symptom Regulation Perceptions, and Common Beliefs. Participants that were diagnosed with or had a family member with ASD were more likely to attribute ASD to External Causes than those without those connections to ASD.

Therefore, this meta-analysis was conducted to find a persuasive answer for possible association or lack of association between MTHFR gene polymorphism and ASD risk. Methods Systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus considering the association between MTHFR gene (C677?T and A1298C) polymorphisms and the risk of ASD prior to Jun 2019. Results A total of 17 studies for C677T and 8 studies for A1298C MTHFR gene polymorphism recognized eligible. The pooled results suggested a significant association between C677T SNP and ASD risk under dominant model (OR?=?1.47, 95%CI?=?1.13–2.93, REM), allelic model (OR?=?1.37, 95% CI?=?1.08–1.74, REM), and CT vs CC model (OR?=?1.45, 95% CI?=?1.13–1.85, REM). Moreover, the pooled results of subgroup analysis confirmed increased risk of ASD in Caucasians across all genetic models except recessive model. Besides, in spite of no significant association between A1298C SNP and ASD in overall population, subgroup analysis revealed that presence of A1298C SNP decrease risk of ASD in Caucasians. Conclusion This meta-analysis suggested a significant association between MTHFR gene polymorphism (C677T and A1298C) and ASD risk.

DIEKROGER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101474 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Quality of life  Neurodevelopmental  Sensitivity to change  Behavior problems Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The revised Child and Family Quality of Life (CFQL-2) questionnaire was adapted from the original version to be shorter and more sensitive to changes in psychosocial quality of life (QoL) in families of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or related neurodevelopmental conditions. The present study examined the psychometric properties of the CFQL-2. Methods Caregivers of 566 patients presenting to an ASD-specific diagnostic clinic completed the CFQL-2 and other behavioral measurements as part of a diagnostic evaluation. Psychometric properties, including factor structure, internal consistency reliability, reliability across the latent trait, relationships with other clinical measures, and ASD vs. non-ASD group differences were examined for the total score and each subscale. Test-retest reliability and sensitivity to change were evaluated in a separate sleep intervention trial. Results Results indicated that the CFQL-2 reliably measured eight independent QoL domains (Child, Family, Caregiver, Financial, Social Network, Partner Relationship, Coping, and QoL Change), with good-to-excellent reliability across score ranges, good test-retest reliability, and expected relationships with other measures. The change subscale was slightly, but not significantly, more sensitive to change than the total score. Externalizing behavior problems in the child had a strong negative association with several aspects of QoL. Conclusion The CFQL-2 is a brief, reliable scale that effectively measures psychosocial aspects of QoL and is sensitive to changes in QoL in families of children with ASD or related neurodevelopmental disorders. Child externalizing behavior is strongly associated with reductions in multiple aspects of child and family psychosocial QoL.

Associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and ASD behavior phenotypes provide an opportunity to timely treat an infant with potential ASD by earlier intervention targeting a specific behavior phenotype. Methods The association of SNPs (rs8130538, rs1007893, rs34736293, rs7279002, rs2070435, rs2255397, rs1107065,rs2248636) of DIP2A with both ASD susceptibility and ASD behaviour phenotypes were investigated in Chinese Han population using a case- control study on the basis of 231 ASD cases and 242 controls. Results The allele frequencies and genotype distributions of the eight SNPs of DIP2A in the cases were not different from those in the controls; the eight DIP2A SNPs were not associated with ASD risk under the five geneticmodels; and haplotypes were not different between the cases and the controls Conclusions We identified that rs1007893 and rs2070435 in DIP2A are associated with "visual reaction" behavior phenotype in Chinese Han population.

BARTON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101476 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Video modeling  Intellectual disability  Academic skills  STEM Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Not only is video modeling an evidence-based practice to teach social/communication, functional, and daily living skills to students with autism spectrum disorder, but use of video models are beneficial due to reusable and portable technology. The efficacy of video modeling for teaching science, technology, engineering, and math skills (STEM) for this population, however, has not yet been evaluated. Method In this systematic literature review, we examined the use of video modeling to teach STEM skills to students with autism and intellectual disability. Ten studies met inclusion criteria. Results Although we found insufficient evidence for using video modeling to teach science, technology, and engineering skills; video modeling was effective for teaching mathematics to individuals with autism and intellectual disability. Conclusion Additional research is needed using video modeling to teach STEM skills to establish a comprehensive understanding of how video modeling could be effective for teaching STEM skills to students with autism and intellectual disability.

Early screening for autism spectrum disorder in young children with developmental problems using the Chinese version of the child behavior checklist / Lai-Sang IAO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 70 (February 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 70 (February 2020) . - p.101477 Titre : Early screening for autism spectrum disorder in young children with developmental problems using the Chinese version of the child behavior checklist Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lai-Sang IAO, Auteur ; Wen-Han YU, Auteur ; Chin-Chin WU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101477 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Child behavior checklist/1.5–5 (CBCL/1.5–5)  Emotional and behavioral problems  Sensitivity  Specificity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social interaction and communication, as well as repetitive patterns of behaviors and restricted interests. Current evidence suggested that children with ASD exhibited high level of co-occurring behavioral and emotional problems. Thus, this study was aimed to investigate the utility of the Chinese version of the Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 1.5–5 (CBCL/1.5–5) for assessing and screening ASD at an early age in Taiwan. Methods The CBCL/1.5–5 was completed by the caregivers of 134 clinically referred young children aged 18–47 months, including 66 children with ASD and 68 children with developmental delay (DD). Results The findings of this study showed that young children with ASD scored significantly higher than young children with DD for the following scales: Internalizing, Anxious/Depressed, Withdrawn, Attention Problems and Pervasive Developmental Problems (PDP). The results also showed that the Withdrawn scale yielded the best discrimination between the two groups using a T-score of 66 as cutoff. The area under the curve, sensitivity and specificity were .83, .74, and .77 respectively. Conclusion The findings of this study supported that the CBCL/1.5–5, especially the Withdrawn scale of the syndrome scale, could be used to differentiate young children with ASD from those with DD in Taiwan. Replication with a larger sample size is needed to validate the findings.

The assessment of social responsiveness scale Lithuanian version / Dalia V?LAVI?IEN? in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 70 (February 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 70 (February 2020) . - p.101489 Titre : The assessment of social responsiveness scale Lithuanian version Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Dalia V?LAVI?IEN?, Auteur ; Virginija ADOMAITIEN?, Auteur ; Goda TRAIDARAIT?, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101489 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Social responsiveness scale  Screening  Psychometrics Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The process of adapting and validating standardised methods commonly used around the world for screening and assessing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is just beginning in the Baltic states. To date, only the Childhood Autism Rating Scale has been validated, 19 years ago in Lithuania. The current study was conducted to assess the internal consistency, concurrent validity, sensitivity and specificity of one of the internationally recognised scales for quantitatively assessing the features of autism—the Social Responsiveness Scale–Second Edition (SRS-2) parent form —translated into Lithuanian. Methods The study sample consisted of an ASD sample of 33 participants with a mean age of 10.5 years (SD?=?2.8) and an age-matched normative sample of 99 participants with a mean age of 9.8 years (SD?=?2.8). The Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) and the SRS-2 were completed by parents. Reliability was assessed by calculating internal consistency, the sensitivity and specificity of the scale was determined through receiver operating characteristic analysis and concurrent validity was explored using Spearman’s correlations. Results In accordance with previous findings, the internal consistency of the SRS was satisfactory to good. Good concurrent validity was also found. The SRS-2 showed an ability to differentiate participants with ASD from control participants with excellent sensitivity. All intercorrelations between the SRS-2 and the CBCL syndrome scales were significant. Conclusions Our results demonstrate the high sensitivity of the SRS-2 parent form. This implies that the SRS-2 subscales may have utility in Lithuanian research as well as in clinical practice for appropriately targeted interventions.

NEUMEYER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101490 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Physical exercise  Pediatrics Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Physical activity may improve symptoms and skill deficits associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The objective of this study was to compare the reported frequency of physical activity and covariates in a large sample of children with ASD with children of similar age from the general population. The sample with ASD was derived from the Autism Treatment Network Registry Call Back Assessment (n = 611), and the general population data were derived from the National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) (n = 71,811). In addition, demographic, child, and family (parent) factors were examined in relation to frequency of recent physical activity in children with ASD. Among males in the 6?11 year-old age group, those with ASD participated in physical activity less often (p < 0.001) than those in the NSCH general population. Specifically, 33 % of boys 6?11 years old in the NSCH group vs. only 17 % in the RCBA group 6?11 years old engaged in some physical activity every day, while 4 % of boys in the NSCH group vs. 18 % in the RCBA group engaged in no physical activity whatsoever. A similar effect was seen across other age groups and in females but was not statistically significant. The demographic, child, and family characteristics associated with physical activity in children and adolescents with ASD included ethnicity in females, DSM-IV ASD diagnosis, IQ, and PAM-13 total score in females. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to find suitable physical activity programs for children with ASD. This may be especially important for 6?11 year-old boys with ASD who engage in significantly less physical activity than their peers in the general population.
