Thirteen parents of adolescents and young adults with ASD were interviewed. These parents reported a continually high level of stress due to normative strains and ASD-related demands. They described the tangible, emotional, informational, and internal resources received and needed. Parents, as active agents in their children’s lives, have their own views towards transition, philosophy, and ways of coping. Even though many of them reported negative experiences, these parents also found new meanings and happiness in their lives. This study detailed the adaptation process during transition.

LEVENTHAL, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101653 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD  Developmental psychopathology  Vaccination  Protective effects Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Backgrounds Despite multiple studies demonstrating no relationship between childhood vaccination and increasing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) prevalence, parental fear for vaccination and subsequent refusal to vaccinate their children continue, resulting in recent outbreaks of childhood infections such as measles in the US. We examine the relationship between the completion of 6 recommended vaccinations in childhood and the likelihood for having developmental psychopathology. Methods Two large-scale South Korean epidemiologic samples were used to examine whether completion of childhood vaccinations decrease likelihood of having ASD as assessed by Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ) and behavioral problems scores. Parental reports on vaccination completion were categorized in groups: <3, 4?5, & 6. The primary outcome is the likelihood of having ASD and/or, internalizing, and externalizing behavioral symptoms. Likelihood of having ASD was categorized as: low (ASSQ < 10), intermediate (ASSQ = 10–14), and high (ASSQ ? 15). The risk for externalizing/internalizing symptoms was assessed with the Behavior Assessment System for Children-Parent Rating Scale. We examined the hypothesis in a Discovery Sample (DS) (N = 10,006) and verified findings in a Replication Sample (RS) (N = 29,381). Results 84.3 % of DS and 80.1 % of RS participants were fully vaccinated. In the DS, after adjusting for demographics and confounders, children with incomplete-vaccinations were at greater risk for ASD when compared to those fully vaccinated (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.42, 95 % Confidence Interval [CI] 1.17?1.73 with 4?5 vaccinations; aOR = 2.33, CI 1.53?3.56 with vaccination <3). The DS finding was confirmed in the RS (aOR = 1.44, CI 1.32?1.58 with 4?5 vaccinations and aOR = 2.19, CI 1.80?2.67 with < 3 vaccinations). In the DS, those with incomplete-vaccinations were at a greater risk for internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Conclusions We replicate our own and prior findings that vaccination does not increase ASD risk. Further, completing recommended vaccinations may offer protection against the risk of having ASD and other developmental psychopathology.

Communicative intentions in autism spectrum disorder / Magdalena SCHÜTZ in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 79 (November 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 79 (November 2020) . - 101666 Titre : Communicative intentions in autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Magdalena SCHÜTZ, Auteur ; Angela CIARAMIDARO, Auteur ; Anne MARTINELLI, Auteur ; Ramona ÖLLER, Auteur ; Daniela HARTMANN, Auteur ; Grit HEIN, Auteur ; Vassil IOTZOV, Auteur ; Livia COLLE, Auteur ; Cristina BECCHIO, Auteur ; Henrik WALTER, Auteur ; Christine M. FREITAG, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101666 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  fMRI  Intention  Communication  Social interaction Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Deficits in social communication and interaction are among the core symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Intention understanding in particular has been shown to be impaired in ASD. However, only one previous study has explicitly assessed the understanding of communicative intentions in ASD. Thus, the aim of the present study was to compare neural activation during the observation of communicative and non-communicative actions in participants with ASD and typically developing (TD) controls using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Based on recent findings that show that the degree of involvement of the observer has an impact on neural activation, the present study included first- and third-person perspective stimuli. Method Twenty-five male TD (mean age 20.41?±?3.39) and twenty-two male participants with ASD (mean age 18.60?±?3.55) were included. Stimuli consisted of videos in which actors performed an action with an everyday object. Actions were either private or communicative; communicative actions were either directed at the observer (first-person) or at a third person. Results The ASD group showed reduced activation in the human middle temporal complex (hMT+) across all conditions. However, modulation of activation in response to different conditions remained intact in ASD. Additionally, while TD showed an increase in premotor cortex (PMC) activation in response to communicative actions directed at them, the ASD group showed a decrease in activation. Conclusions These findings suggest an early processing deficit with regard to human biological motion in ASD. Furthermore, results reflect a reduced preparedness for social interactions in ASD compared to TD when addressed directly.

Episodic future thinking-induced forgetting: Exploring memory inhibitory mechanism in adults with autism / Dominika Z. WOJCIK in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 79 (November 2020)

Our interest stemmed from the idea that malfunctioning cognitive inhibition may contribute to symptoms such as thought perseverance and inflexibility of social interactions in this disorder. Method We drew from work in retrieval-induced forgetting which shows that retrieving items from memory causes forgetting of other competing information. We tested individuals with ASD (n?=?19) and without ASD (n = 20) using a task whereby engaging in episodic future thinking (EFT) reduces the subsequent retrievability of related autobiographical memories (AMs). We also looked at a sample of AM and EFT narratives using an overall-richness measure expressed by a quantitative experiential index. Results Although adults with autism showed overall lower levels of richness in their AM and EFT productions, and contrary to our prediction, they demonstrated levels of memory inhibition that were comparable to controls. Conclusions The results suggest that memory inhibition, as measured by EFT-induced forgetting, is relatively intact in ASD and are discussed in terms of how automatic and effortful inhibitory processes in autism might be differentially affected.

Gender-based differential item functioning on the child behavior checklist in youth on the autism spectrum: A brief report / Hillary K. SCHILTZ in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 79 (November 2020)

MAGNUS, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101669 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Differential item  Functioning  Autism  Co-occurring symptoms  Child behavior checklist  Females  Gender Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Given the call for gender-informed autism research (Mandy & Lai, 2017), understanding the presentation and measurement of commonly co-occurring behavioral and emotional concerns among males and females on the autism spectrum is paramount. The validity of conclusions in this area of research necessitates that questionnaires capture true differences in constructs rather than systematic gender-based differences in measurement, an assumption which may be violated due to differential item functioning (DIF). Method In the present study, caregiver-report data on the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) (N = 502) were gathered across multiple studies from the National Database for Autism Research (NDAR), an NIH-funded data repository. Results Confirmatory factor analysis initially revealed poor to acceptable fit across subscales, suggesting a lack of unidimensionality. Fit was acceptable on all subscales following modifications for low factor loadings or highly correlated residuals. Multiple indicator multiple cause (MIMIC) models indicated that the majority of items did not show substantial DIF, with no items flagged for gender-based DIF on the Attention Problems, Withdrawn/Depressed, and Somatic Problems subscales. Items were flagged for gender-based DIF, however, on the Social Problems, Anxious/ Depressed, Aggressive Behavior, and Thought Problems subscales. Conclusions These findings indicate that few items on a measure of emotional and behavioral problems (Child Behavior Checklist; CBCL) function differently for male and female youth on the autism spectrum. This study has implications for future autism research aiming to accurately capture co-occurring emotional or behavioral problems and examine the etiology, trajectory, and ultimately treatment for males and females on the autism spectrum.

That way, different services may be needed at various stages of their lifetimes. This study aimed to describe service encounters and hours of service per week for individuals with ASD in Latin American countries and compare the data from three age groups (preschoolers, school-aged, and adolescents). Methods The data were obtained from an online survey adapted by Red Espectro Autista Latinoamerica (REAL) in 6 different South & Central American countries. The total sample was composed of 2520 caregivers of children and adolescents with ASD. Results Service encounters for Speech, Occupational, and Behavioral Therapies decreased with patient age, while medication increased. Regardless of the age group, a large proportion of individuals (19–37 %) were not receiving treatment, and those receiving treatment got fewer hours than best practice recommendations. For adolescents, the gaps in treatment are even greater and less consistent. Discussion Failure to offer timely identification and intervention for ASD will result in more impairment of the individual and the family burden. Although there are several initiatives to develop more resources for this population in Latin-America, the provision of services for ASD is still undervalued. Many such individuals might not be receiving the services they need, while most children are mainly receiving therapies with low to moderate evidence at a frequency below the recommended standards.

The longitudinal heterogeneity of autistic traits: A systematic review / Richard PENDER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 79 (November 2020)

PASCO FEARON, Auteur ; Jon HERON, Auteur ; Will MANDY, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101671 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Autism phenotype  Autism spectrum  Chronogeneity  Developmental trajectories  Heterogeneity  Latent class growth model  Neurodevelopment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Previous reviews have characterised the mean stability of autistic traits (ATs) across samples on a single measure. However, no review has yet assessed mean change across a range of measures, or described the longitudinal heterogeneity of ATs, i.e. variation in direction and degree of change. Method A systematic literature review was conducted using PubMed, PsycINFO and EMBASE up to May 31 2020. Forty-four studies meeting inclusion criteria were identified. Results Retrieved studies ranged from N = 20 to N = 9,744. Ages spanned one to 15 years at baseline and two to 23 years at follow-up. The proportion of female participants per study ranged from 0 to 51%. There is some evidence that overall ATs tend to reduce over time for autistic children, reflecting decreases in social communication difficulties but not restricted behaviours. This effect was strongest in clinical samples and using parent-report measures. However, there was good evidence that statistics of mean change obscure between-person differences in within-person change. Decreasing ATs appear linked to higher verbal and non-verbal IQ and female gender in autistic participants. Four patterns of change: increasing, decreasing and stable high and low best characterised the data. Conclusions Individuals experience diverse patterns of change over time. More general population studies are needed to reduce male bias. More work is needed to characterise the relationship between trajectories and well-being, functioning and quality of life outcomes. This will help to understand factors that promote resilience and reduce risk, and therefore to improve the timing and targets of intervention.

Differences in the severity and variability of restricted and repetitive behaviors in ASD children with and without service experiences / Ju Hee PARK in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 79 (November 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 79 (November 2020) . - 101672 Titre : Differences in the severity and variability of restricted and repetitive behaviors in ASD children with and without service experiences Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ju Hee PARK, Auteur ; Young-Shin KIM, Auteur ; Yun-Joo KOH, Auteur ; Bennett L. LEVENTHAL, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101672 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Restricted and repetitive behavior  Autism spectrum disorder  ASD children with service experiences  ASD children without service experiences Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Despite the importance of restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs) in diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD), specific RRBs that distinguish children with ASD who are receiving services from those who have ASD but are unidentified and untreated until school age remain unclear. This study examined the differences in the severity and variability of RRBs among three groups (ASD with service experiences [ASDws], ASD without service experiences [ASDwos], and No ASD) and investigated specific RRBs predicting group membership. Method A total of 296 children who screened positive for ASD completed confirmative diagnostic assessments. The severity and variability scores of RRBs were obtained using 16 items of the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised. Results Both ASD groups had higher proportions of children with severe RRBs for the majority of RRBs and exhibited a greater number of RRBs than the No ASD group. However, discrepancies between the ASDwos and the No ASD groups were not as apparent as those between the ASDws and the No ASD groups. RRBs characterized by a repetitive motor/physical component and unusual sensory responses differentiated the ASDws group from the ASDwos group. Conversely, RRBs characterized by rigid adherence to routine, and ritualistic behavior increased the odds of membership in the ASDwos group over the No ASD group. Conclusions Our results may improve the ability of clinicians and parents to detect ASD in the community by observing specific RRBs, especially in cognitively intact school-aged children who show significant compulsive/ritualistic behaviors and rigidity to routines/sameness RRBs, even in the absence of multiple RRBs or severe repetitive sensorimotor behaviors.

This can result in a poorer quality of life and significant mental health problems. To date, there is no readily available instrument for Iranian practitioners to assess anxiety in children with ASD. Method A translated version of a 24 item scale developed in the UK was tested with 254 parents drawn from different cities in Iran who rated their child's anxiety. In addition, a subsample of 58 of these children rated themselves. Results Analysis of parents' ratings identified three factors reflecting different forms of anxiety: Performance Anxiety, Uncertainty and Anxious Arousal. The fourth subscale from the original English version (Separation anxiety) was not replicated, with three of these items not loading on to any subscale and the remaining one loading on the Uncertainty subscale. The total scale score and three subscale scores had good internal consistency and test-retest reliability for both the parent and child ratings. However parents tended to underestimate their children's level of anxiety; particularly anxious arousal. Conclusions The study demonstrated the need to adapt scales to other cultures and to obtain children's perspectives as well as that of parents. The availability of a reliable assessment tool will help practitioners to identify and evaluate intervention strategies to ameliorate anxiety in children with ASD.

The aim of the current study was to qualitatively explore factors that are perceived to impact positively (i.e. facilitators) and negatively (i.e. barriers) upon learning for primary school pupils with an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis. Method Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten teachers currently engaged in teaching autistic pupils, which were analysed using thematic analysis. Results Three key themes were identified: pupil’s behaviours and abilities (factors related to the child’s behaviour, cognition or personality), academic environment (physical and contextual), and teacher skills and qualities (e.g. training, trust and relationships). Conclusions A range of factors were therefore identified by teachers, some of which corroborate with existing research, while other findings provide novel insights. Priorities for facilitating learning are discussed, as well as key areas for future investigation and potential intervention.

The purpose of this study was to determine assessment use, training experiences, and reasons for instrument selection among those who practice in applied behavior analysis (ABA). Method A questionnaire was administered online and sent via email by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) to all of its members. Responses were collected from 1,428 individuals who primarily practice in applied behavior analysis. Results Of the 1,428 respondents, the Verbal-Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) was the most widely used instrument (76%). The majority of respondents (71%) were trained to conduct the assessments by their direct supervisors. Additionally, the available research literature was the primary reason participants selected specific instruments (58%). Although research was reportedly important to users, limited psychometric research exists on the instruments. Conclusion This study is the first of its kind in widely collecting data on the current assessment practices, training, and education. The results can be used to inform practice and, more important, future research related to quality of assessments used in ABA and how behavior analysis professionals are training to use them.

Interventions based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) significantly reduce such sleep problems. Insufficient sleep is linked to a variety of adverse consequences for children with ASD, such as ASD symptom severity and internalizing and externalizing difficulties. In spite of these associations, no systematic reviews have been conducted that explore the collateral benefits of behavioral sleep interventions. Aim To evaluate the empirical evidence investigating the collateral effects of behavioral sleep interventions in children and adolescents with ASD. Methods To meet inclusion criteria, studies included participants between 2–18 years with a diagnosis of ASD, directly treated sleep problems and included at least one measure of collateral treatment effects. Data were extracted on participant characteristics, research design, intervention characteristics, sleep measures and results, social validity, collateral effect measures and results. Methodological rigor was evaluated and each study was coded as strong, adequate or weak. Results Ten studies met inclusion criteria and all reported an improvement in at least one aspect of children’s sleep. Eight of the 10 studies demonstrated collateral improvement in one or more aspects of children’s daytime functioning following a behavioral sleep intervention. This included a reduction in stereotypic behaviors, internalizing and externalizing difficulties and quality of life. Conclusions While the mechanisms underlying change are not known, outcomes of this review suggest that behavioral sleep interventions may be followed by collateral improvement in children’s daytime functioning and wellbeing. However, only four studies had strong or adequate methodological rigor, indicating the necessity of further research.

Sluggish cognitive tempo in autism, ADHD, and neurotypical child samples / Susan D. MAYES in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 79 (November 2020)

Method Mothers rated 1,436 children with autism, 1,056 with ADHD without autism, and 186 typical controls, 2-17 years, on six SCT items from the Pediatric Behavior Scale. Results Almost half (49%) of children with autism scored 1.5 standard deviations or more above the typical SCT mean, as did 40% with ADHD-Inattentive and 31% with ADHD-Combined. The significantly greater prevalence in autism versus ADHD is largely explained by the high frequency of ADHD in autism and the increased risk of SCT when both disorders are present. However, the higher than normal prevalence of SCT in autism is not accounted for by co-occurring ADHD because SCT scores were higher than the norm in children with autism who did not have ADHD and SCT scores did not differ significantly between children with autism without ADHD and children with ADHD without autism. Conclusions Previous research indicated SCT was associated with ADHD-Inattentive type, but our findings show that SCT is even more prevalent in autism. SCT is most common when autism and ADHD co-occur. Because autism without ADHD is rare (whereas ADHD without autism is not), it is important to assess both SCT and ADHD in children referred for autism evaluations and rule-out autism in children referred for ADHD. SCT may be another neurocognitive problem shared by children with autism and children with ADHD in need of assessment and intervention.

Development and evaluation of a novel caregiver-report tool to assess barriers to physical healthcare for people on the autism spectrum / C. WALSH in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 79 (November 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 79 (November 2020) . - 101680 Titre : Development and evaluation of a novel caregiver-report tool to assess barriers to physical healthcare for people on the autism spectrum Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : C. WALSH, Auteur ; S. LYDON, Auteur ; A. HEHIR, Auteur ; P. O’CONNOR, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101680 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Healthcare access  Reasonable adjustments  Healthcare equity  Healthcare disparities  Health Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Introduction People on the autism spectrum often experience poorer health than the general population despite higher engagement with the health services. This suggests a disparity in the accessibility of appropriate healthcare for autistic individuals. To improve access, barriers the autism community experience in healthcare first need to be identified. This paper aimed to: 1) develop and evaluate a caregiver-report tool; 2) identify barriers to physical healthcare for autistic individuals; and 3) identify potential contributing factors. Methods A previously established taxonomy of barriers to healthcare for autistic individuals informed the development of the tool; this was then distributed to caregivers of autistic adults and children. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) assessed validity and reliability of the tool. Multiple Regressions were performed to identify predictors of barriers. Results In total, caregivers of 194 autistic children or adults participated in the study. The EFA produced four factors: 1) patient-level barriers; 2) healthcare provider-level (HCP) barriers; 3) healthcare system-level barriers; and 4) barriers related to managing healthcare. The greatest barriers included difficulties with identifying/reporting symptoms (endorsed by 62.4% of participants); difficulties handling the waiting area (60.3% of participants); and a lack of HCP knowledge regarding autism (52.1% of participants). Autism severity, general adjustment problems, anxiety, age and having unmet needs predicted the frequency and/or severity of barriers. Conclusions A tool that allows assessment of patient-, HCP-, and system-level barriers to healthcare was developed and evaluated. Patient-level barriers appear to occur frequently and pose substantial challenges. This tool will help identify areas most in need of intervention and support intervention evaluation.

Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) assessed validity and reliability of the tool. Multiple Regressions were performed to identify predictors of barriers. Results In total, caregivers of 194 autistic children or adults participated in the study. The EFA produced four factors: 1) patient-level barriers; 2) healthcare provider-level (HCP) barriers; 3) healthcare system-level barriers; and 4) barriers related to managing healthcare. The greatest barriers included difficulties with identifying/reporting symptoms (endorsed by 62.4% of participants); difficulties handling the waiting area (60.3% of participants); and a lack of HCP knowledge regarding autism (52.1% of participants). Autism severity, general adjustment problems, anxiety, age and having unmet needs predicted the frequency and/or severity of barriers. Conclusions A tool that allows assessment of patient-, HCP-, and system-level barriers to healthcare was developed and evaluated. Patient-level barriers appear to occur frequently and pose substantial challenges. This tool will help identify areas most in need of intervention and support intervention evaluation.

However, there are limited assessment tools to easily apply to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) individuals with various severities in the clinical setting. This study aimed to characterize the timing control ability of ASD individuals and clarify the relationship between timing control ability and ASD severity level in order to establish an assessment tool for ASD function. Method We developed a simple touchscreen-based task for evaluate motor timing control ability and used two types of sensorimotor timing controls (i.e., simple timing and delayed timing tasks) in ASD (n?=?77) and typically developing (TD) individuals (n?=?87). Results Each participant with ASD completed the simple timing task. Regarding the delayed timing task, two participants in the ASD group were excluded as they faced difficulties when conducting the task according to the instruction. Accuracy of motor-timing control was significantly lower in participants with ASD than in those with TD for each timing task. The mean timing error in the adaptive timing control were correlated with clinically evaluated ASD severity and participant age in the ASD group. Furthermore, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that altered motor timing control is useful for distinguishing individuals with and without ASD (area under the curve?=?.845). Conclusions We showed that our assessment tool accurately assessed timing control ability of individuals with ASD, regardless of the varying ranges of symptomatic severities, and served as a useful tool for capturing the overall severity of such a heterogeneous disorder, which may lead to more effective therapies for ASD.

Mother–child interaction in families of children with autism: Interpersonal dyadic processes / Yael ROZENBLATT-PERKAL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 79 (November 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 79 (November 2020) . - 101689 Titre : Mother–child interaction in families of children with autism: Interpersonal dyadic processes Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yael ROZENBLATT-PERKAL, Auteur ; Anat ZAIDMAN-ZAIT, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101689 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD  Interpersonal theory  Agency  State space grid  Mother-child interactions Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Research examining parent-child interactions in families with ASD children has mainly focused on the behaviors of either the parent or the child and examined their associations with the child's developmental outcomes. Interpersonal theory conceptualizes parent-child behaviors at the dyadic level of agency (i.e., levels of dominance behaviors). The study examined dyadic mother-child interpersonal behavioral patterns for children with and without ASD. Using the dynamic system approach, we measured the content and structure of moment-to moment interpersonal levels of dominance behaviors over the course of semi-structured joint activity. We also examined the relations between children's externalizing, internalizing, prosocial behaviors and dyadic mother-child interpersonal dominance behaviors. Method Sample included 83 mothers and their three- to six-year-old children, 41 children with ASD and 42 typically developing (TD) children. Mothers completed questionnaires and were observed interacting with their children. We conducted hierarchical multiple regressions to examined variability in dyadic interpersonal agentic behaviors, controlling for maternal educational level and family income. Results Mother-TD dyads demonstrated increased mutual engagement, dyadic flexibility, and decreased mother high dominance-child low dominance behaviors. Children’s behaviors were associated with dyadic agentic behavior patterns. Prosocial behaviors were associated with increased dyadic flexibility and complementarity-agency, albeit only in mother-ASD dyads. Conclusions Findings highlight the role of interpersonal social processes for ASD children and their mothers. The flexibility and complementary of mother-child interpersonal agency is at least partially a function of children's behaviors and ASD. When ASD children express dominance, mothers generally hand over some control.
