In all, 54 youth (7–17 years; IQ: 67–158) with autism spectrum disorder and their parents completed (a) an expanded version of the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule—Child/Parent designed to capture typical and atypical fears and (b) brief scales of anxiety symptoms (Behavior Assessment Schedule for Children, Second Edition; Screen for Child Anxiety and Related Emotional Disorders; Negative Affective Self-Statement Questionnaire; Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale). The results indicate that measures lacked adequate sensitivity and specificity, and the detection of atypical fears was particularly poor. Revised cut scores are offered, but refined and/or revised instruments are likely needed for research on youth with autism spectrum disorder.

Defining behavioral components of social functioning in adults with autism spectrum disorder as targets for treatment / Ashley A. PALLATHRA in Autism Research, 11-3 (March 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 11-3 (March 2018) . - p.488-502 Titre : Defining behavioral components of social functioning in adults with autism spectrum disorder as targets for treatment Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ashley A. PALLATHRA, Auteur ; Monica E. CALKINS, Auteur ; Julia PARISH-MORRIS, Auteur ; Brenna B. MADDOX, Auteur ; Leat PEREZ, Auteur ; Judith MILLER, Auteur ; Ruben C. GUR, Auteur ; David S. MANDELL, Auteur ; Robert T. SCHULTZ, Auteur ; Edward S. BRODKIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.488-502 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adult autism spectrum disorder  anxiety  cognition  motivation  skills  social functioning  treatment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is increasing recognition that adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) would benefit from treatment to improve social functioning, a key factor in adults' overall quality of life. However, the various behavioral components of social functioning (i.e., categories of behaviors underlying social functioning), including social motivation, social anxiety, social cognition, and social skills, have not all been assessed together in any sample of adults with ASD, making it difficult to know the relative levels of impairment in these various categories, the relationships among these categories, or promising targets for treatments. We hypothesized there would be significant correlations among measures within the same category, but fewer correlations of measures between categories, indicating the heterogeneity of impairments in adults with ASD. Twenty-nine adults with ASD without co-occurring intellectual disability completed multiple assessments measuring social motivation, social anxiety, social cognition, and social skills, as well as measures of overall ASD symptom levels and community functioning. Results revealed significant positive correlations among measures within most categories; positive correlations between measures of social motivation and all other categories, except for social cognition; as well as positive cross-domain correlations between measures of anxiety and ASD phenotype; measures of social skills and community functioning; and measures of social skills and ASD phenotype. Further studies are warranted to determine causal relationships among these behavioral categories, across developmental stages. However, the lack of correlations between many categories suggests the potential importance of multidimensional treatments that target the particular components of social functioning most in need of improvement in individuals. Autism Res 2018, 11: 488-502. (c) 2017 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: The goal of this study was to measure behaviors that contribute to social functioning difficulties in adults with ASD, with the ultimate goal of guiding treatment development. We found that motivation to interact with others was significantly related to social anxiety and social skill. Our results suggest that motivation may be important to target in treatment, and that treatments should be tailored to the areas most in need of improvement in each individual.

“Frank” presentations as a novel research construct and element of diagnostic decision-making in autism spectrum disorder / Ashley B. DE MARCHENA in Autism Research, 10-4 (April 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 10-4 (April 2017) . - p.653-662 Titre : “Frank” presentations as a novel research construct and element of diagnostic decision-making in autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ashley B. DE MARCHENA, Auteur ; Judith MILLER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.653-662 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  diagnostic decision-making  behavioral phenotype Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Many individuals with ASD have a distinctive behavioral presentation that is recognizable within moments, a phenomenon we call “frank” ASD. This phenomenon has been discussed informally for decades, perhaps as “classic” ASD; however, there is no unitary “classic” presentation, and classic autism does not seem to correspond to level of functioning. Thus, neither “frank” nor “classic” autism has been delineated or studied as a research construct. To initiate the empirical study of frank ASD, we surveyed 151 clinicians, from a range of disciplines that diagnose ASD, about this phenomenon. Respondents completed a 13-item questionnaire about frank ASD, which was analyzed using a mixed-methods approach. Ninety-seven percentage of respondents were familiar with the phenomenon. Respondents estimated that 40% of the ASD population has a frank presentation. Respondents reported the most highly specific behaviors associated with frank presentations were a general sense of impaired reciprocity, quality of eye contact, atypical vocal prosody, presence of motor mannerisms, and atypical gait or posture. In general, respondents reported detecting frank features rapidly, with the majority forming their impressions within the first ten minutes of interaction or observation. Although unstudied empirically, “frank” presentations of ASD are familiar to diagnosing clinicians, and appear to be based on behaviors both central to ASD diagnostic criteria (e.g., impaired reciprocity), and absent from diagnostic criteria (e.g., atypical gait or posture). We discuss these findings within the context of diagnostic decision-making and behavioral phenotyping of ASD.

Predictors of Ascertainment of Autism Spectrum Disorders Across Nine US Communities / Sydney PETTYGROVE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 43-8 (August 2013)

Cases ascertained only at education sources were compared to those identified at health sources. 38 % were education-only. These were older at their earliest evaluation (54.5 vs. 42.0 months, p 0.001) and earliest ASD diagnosis (62 vs. 53 months, p 0.001). More lived in census blocks with lower adult education (p 0.001).

This new algorithm, however, has not yet been validated in an independent sample without intellectual disability (ID). This multi-site study compared the original and revised algorithms in individuals with ASD without ID. The revised algorithm demonstrated increased sensitivity, but lower specificity in the overall sample. Estimates were highest for females, individuals with a verbal IQ below 85 or above 115, and ages 16 and older. Best practice diagnostic procedures should include the Module 4 in conjunction with other assessment tools. Balancing needs for sensitivity and specificity depending on the purpose of assessment (e.g., clinical vs. research) and demographic characteristics mentioned above will enhance its utility.
