Affective problems, gastrointestinal symptoms, sleep problems, and challenging behaviour in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder / Geraldine LEADER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 92 (April 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 92 (April 2022) . - 101915 Titre : Affective problems, gastrointestinal symptoms, sleep problems, and challenging behaviour in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Geraldine LEADER, Auteur ; Hannah BROWNE, Auteur ; Sally WHELAN, Auteur ; Hannah CUMMINS, Auteur ; Arlene MANNION, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101915 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Affective problems  Sleep problems  Challenging behaviour  Gastrointestinal symptoms Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can experience affective problems, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, sleep problems, and challenging behaviour. This study identified the frequency of affective problems and explored how they related to co-occurring conditions in children and adolescents with ASD. Method Participants were children and adolescents diagnosed with ASD using DSM-IV-TR criteria (n = 95), 40 % (n = 38) of whom also had a diagnosis of intellectual disability (ID). The following scales were completed by the participants’ parents or guardians: Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL), Gastrointestinal Symptoms Inventory, Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), and the Behaviour Problems Inventory-Short Form (BPI-S). Pearson’s correlations and independent sample t-tests were used to examine the relationships between variables. Two hierarchal multiple regressions examined predictors for affective problems in preschool and school-aged children with ASD. Results Participants scored in the clinical range (69.5 %) and borderline range (10.5 %) for affective problems. Significant positive relationships were found between affective problems and sleep problems, GI symptoms, and challenging behaviour. ID and gender predicted affective problems in preschool aged children. In school-aged children, affective problems were predicted by ID, sleep problems, and aggressive/destructive behaviour severity. However, only 25 % of the variance in affective problems was accounted for. Conclusions Future research is needed to understand how affective problems are impacted by co-occurring conditions in children and adolescents with ASD. Affective problems are prevalent in this population and the quality of life for individuals may be improved if practitioners consider co-occurring conditions during clinical practice.

Gender distinctions are evolving beyond traditional man and woman binaries. It remains unclear if and how these distinctions may impact autistic individuals. The goal of this research was to examine reported service needs and barriers to accessing services among autistic adults by gender identity (man, woman, and other gender). Method Data were generated from a statewide needs assessment survey that included quantitative and qualitative data collection that identified the needs of autistic individuals of all ages and their family members and caregivers. Results The results of this study are among the first to document barriers to service access reported by autistic adults across men, women, and other gender adults. This study also found that other gender autistic adults were more likely to report unmet needs for counseling services than autistic men, and both autistic women and other gender adults in this sample reported multiple barriers to receiving needed services as compared to their male counterparts. Conclusions Both women and other gender adults were more likely to report multiple barriers to needed services than men including transportation and scheduling. This study is one of the largest to explore the service barriers of autistic adults by gender differences.

The reliability and validity of the multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS) in mothers of children with developmental disabilities in Saudi Arabia / Mona Tawakkul EBRAHIM in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 92 (April 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 92 (April 2022) . - 101926 Titre : The reliability and validity of the multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS) in mothers of children with developmental disabilities in Saudi Arabia Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mona Tawakkul EBRAHIM, Auteur ; Abdulaziz Abdullah ALOTHMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101926 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Developmental disabilities  Children  Mothers  Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Social support is critical to the well-being for mothers of children with developmental disabilities (DD). The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) has not been assessed for reliability and validity among such mothers in the Saudi Arabian context. Method An Arabic version of the MSPSS was developed and administered to 606 mothers who had a child with DD (188 with autism spectrum disorder and 418 with intellectual disability), and who were purposefully recruited from three regions in Saudi Arabia. Results The scale showed high internal consistency with minor changes when dropping one item from the scale each time. Convergent reliability and discriminant validity were established. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a very good fit of a three-factor model compared to a zero- and higher-order model. No significant difference was observed to report invariant groups in measurement invariance analysis. Conclusions Our study is the first to measure perceived social support among mothers of children with DD in Saudi Arabia, as well as to validate an Arabic version of the MSPSS in this context. Our Arabic translation of the MSPSS is reliable and valid for researchers and clinicians to use when working with this population. We recommend adopting the MSPSS for measuring perceived social support by a zero-order or higher-order three-factor model.

This study examined the prevalence of and association between obesity and neurodevelopmental and mental health co-occurring conditions among adolescents with ASD aged 10–17 years (n = 911) using 2017–2018 National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) data, adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics. Methods Frequency distributions were generated, and chi-square tests were conducted to examine the association between obesity and several co-occurring conditions. For conditions that were significantly associated with obesity in the chi-square tests, crude odds of obesity were calculated, and multiple logistic regression was conducted to adjust for age, gender, race/ethnicity, and household income. Results The prevalence of obesity was 25.1 %. Based on chi-square tests, obesity was significantly associated with depression (p < 0.0001), anxiety (p = 0.0096), and Tourette Syndrome (p = 0.0330). There was no association between obesity and intellectual disability, learning disability, speech problems, developmental delay, epilepsy or seizure disorder, cerebral palsy, or ADHD. Adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, the odds of obesity were increased among those with depression (OR 3.0, 95 % CI 1.7–5.1) and anxiety (OR 2.3, 95 % CI 1.2–4.6) but not Tourette Syndrome. Conclusions Odds of obesity were greater among adolescents with ASD who also had depression and anxiety. Longitudinal studies are needed to explore the directionality of associations between obesity and mental health co-occurring conditions, such as depression and anxiety, among adolescents with ASD.

Reduced sensitivity to curvature in adolescents diagnosed with ASD / Adi KORISKY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 92 (April 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 92 (April 2022) . - 101929 Titre : Reduced sensitivity to curvature in adolescents diagnosed with ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Adi KORISKY, Auteur ; Abraham GOLDSTEIN, Auteur ; Adam ZAIDEL, Auteur ; Ilanit GORDON, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101929 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Perception  Vision Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Research on visual perception in individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has generated conflicting results. Studies on low-level perception among individuals with ASD show mixed results, and while some report reduced performance in this level, others present superior or typical low-level processing. Interestingly, despite the difficulties in social perception in this population, these studies usually do not implement social cues or context in these paradigms. Using a two-alternative forced-choice psychophysics task, we aim to integrate these results by assessing the perception of low-level stimulus presented either on its own or served as a local feature within a context. Methods Thirty-one adolescents diagnosed with ASD and 27 typically developed adolescents were asked to judge whether an arc, a low-level stimulus, was convex or concave. We measured the individual perceptual thresholds and biases under three conditions: face-like stimuli (where the arc was the mouth inside a circle with two dots), scrambled (same visual features as the former, in a scrambled location), and arc-only stimuli. Results Our results show that compared to TDs, adolescents with ASD were less sensitive to changes in the curvature of the arc across conditions and contexts. Our results also validate the known high heterogeneity in ASD, as we point to a subset of ASD participants who displayed reduced perceptual abilities. Conclusions By showing that adolescents diagnosed with ASD had difficulties during curvature perception, our results contribute to the growing knowledge base on low-level perception in ASD. Moreover, these findings highlight the importance of using multi-level paradigms composing of both low and local-level stimuli to fully understand visual perception in ASD.

Visual scanning and recognition of ambiguous faces in children with autism: The effects of morphing levels and facial identities / Yige WANG in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 92 (April 2022)

The present study aimed to extend earlier research by the inclusion of the different faces with varying levels of perceptual difficulty. Methods We employed eye-tracking and morphing techniques to measure face recognition involving identification of face morphs and to record eye movements during the task. Three groups of children participated in the study, comprising 24 with ASD (aged from 4 to 7 years), 25 verbal IQ (VQ)-matched typical developing (TD) controls (aged from 3 to 4 years), and 25 chronological age (CA)-matched TD controls (aged from 4 to 6 years). Results The group-difference was specific for morphed unknown faces – ASD children had a decreased judgement of unknown faces and showed a lower specificity. Concurrent eye-tracking further provided mechanistic insights: the ASD group exhibited a significant reduction in eye-region fixation when recognizing ambiguous unknown faces, relative to both TD groups. Conclusion The current study provides evidence of a selective difficulty in the identification of unknown faces in ASD when the perceptual demand increased, without atypicality in self and familiar face processing. Reduced attention and social interest may be responsible for difficulties in response to stranger faces in young ASD children, rather than a consequence of inability.

Method Allied health (n = 156) and education professionals (n = 95) completed measures of their individual attitudes and perceived organizational support for EBP. Results Moderate levels of support for each were found within both groups.

Patterns of math and reading achievement in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder / Jennifer C. BULLEN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 92 (April 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 92 (April 2022) . - 101933 Titre : Patterns of math and reading achievement in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jennifer C. BULLEN, Auteur ; Matthew ZAJIC, Auteur ; Nancy MCINTYRE, Auteur ; Emily SOLARI, Auteur ; Peter C. MUNDY, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101933 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Academic achievement  Hierarchical cluster analysis  Math achievement  Reading fluency Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background There has been an increase of autistic students without intellectual disabilities (autisticWoID) placed in general education settings (Hussar et al., 2020), but there is a lack of understanding of how to best support classroom learning for these children. Previous research has pointed to subgroups of autisticWoID children who display difficulty with mathematics and reading achievement (Chen et al., 2018; Estes et al., 2011; Jones et al., 2009; Wei et al., 2015). Research has primarily focused on symptomatology and communication factors related to learning in subgroups of autistic children. The current study sought to expand upon this research by assessing the validity of these previous studies and by investigating the specific contribution of domain-general cognitive abilities to differences in these subgroups. Method Seventy-eight autisticWoID individuals (M = 11.34 years, SD = 2.14) completed measures of mathematics and reading achievement, IQ, working memory, inferential thinking, and Theory of Mind (ToM). A hierarchical cluster analysis was performed on the math and reading measures. Results The analysis revealed two unique achievement groups: one group that performed lower than expected on math and reading achievement and a second group that performed higher than expected. Groups differed significantly on IQ and working memory and were distinguished by performance on reading fluency. Groups did not differ on ToM, inferential thinking, or symptomatology. Conclusion These findings describe a group of autisticWoID individuals that may be more likely to experience difficulty learning, which should be accounted for in general education settings.

Previous research has pointed to subgroups of autisticWoID children who display difficulty with mathematics and reading achievement (Chen et al., 2018; Estes et al., 2011; Jones et al., 2009; Wei et al., 2015). Research has primarily focused on symptomatology and communication factors related to learning in subgroups of autistic children. The current study sought to expand upon this research by assessing the validity of these previous studies and by investigating the specific contribution of domain-general cognitive abilities to differences in these subgroups. Method Seventy-eight autisticWoID individuals (M = 11.34 years, SD = 2.14) completed measures of mathematics and reading achievement, IQ, working memory, inferential thinking, and Theory of Mind (ToM). A hierarchical cluster analysis was performed on the math and reading measures. Results The analysis revealed two unique achievement groups: one group that performed lower than expected on math and reading achievement and a second group that performed higher than expected. Groups differed significantly on IQ and working memory and were distinguished by performance on reading fluency. Groups did not differ on ToM, inferential thinking, or symptomatology. Conclusion These findings describe a group of autisticWoID individuals that may be more likely to experience difficulty learning, which should be accounted for in general education settings.

Association of birth weight with risk of autism: A systematic review and meta-analysis / Xueqian MA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 92 (April 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 92 (April 2022) . - 101934 Titre : Association of birth weight with risk of autism: A systematic review and meta-analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Xueqian MA, Auteur ; Jishui ZHANG, Auteur ; Yi SU, Auteur ; Han LU, Auteur ; Jun LI, Auteur ; Lifang WANG, Auteur ; Shaomei SHANG, Auteur ; Weihua YUE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101934 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Birth weight  Macrosomia  Autism  Meta-analysis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Low birth weight (LBW) has been reported to be a risk environmental factor for autism. However, the effects of normal birth weight (NBW) and macrosomia on autism have not been fully explored. This meta-analysis was conducted to explore the association between different birth weight levels and autism. Method A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and Scopus prior to April 26, 2020. Results A total of 28 studies were recognized as eligible. A significantly increased risk of autism was observed in relation to LBW (OR = 1.63, 95 % CI = 1.48–1.81, P < 0.00001) and macrosomia (OR = 1.11, 95 % CI = 1.05–1.18, P = 0.0005). NBW was found to be associated with a reduced risk of autism (OR = 0.74, 95 % CI = 0.67?0.82, P < 0.00001). Conclusions LBW and macrosomia may increase the risk of autism, whereas NBW may reduce the risk of autism.

Exploring maximizing, satisficing and minimizing tendency in decision-making among autistic and neurotypical individuals / Nicky ROGGE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 92 (April 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 92 (April 2022) . - 101935 Titre : Exploring maximizing, satisficing and minimizing tendency in decision-making among autistic and neurotypical individuals Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Nicky ROGGE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101935 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Decision-making  Choice-making  Decision making tendency inventory  Maximizing  Satisficing  Minimizing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The tendency to maximize is one of the most frequently studied personal traits in choice-making and decision-making. In spite of the large resemblances between the decision behaviour that is characteristic for maximizers and the decision behaviour displayed by individuals with autism, and the considerable overlap in the list of decision problems and decision experiences commonly reported by maximizers and individuals with autism, the question whether individuals with autism are more maximizing in decision-making as compared to neurotypical controls, has remained unexamined in the literature. The paper measures and compares the tendency to maximize, satisfice, and minimize in choice- and decision-making among autistic individuals and age, gender- and education degree-matched neurotypical individuals. Method The Decision Making Tendency Inventory measurement scale (Misuraca et al., 2015) is used to measure six types of decision-making tendency: fearful maximizing, resolute maximizing, more ambitious satisficing, less ambitious satisficing, parsimonious minimizing, and indolent minimizing. A multi-group confirmatory factor analysis and comparison of the differences in latent means is performed. Results The results demonstrate that autistic individuals are similar to neurotypical individuals when it comes to having a tendency to satisfice or minimize in decision-making, however, autistic individuals do score higher in terms of adopting a fearful and resolute maximizing tendency than neurotypical individuals. Conclusions Results suggest that higher maximizing tendency may explain for some of the difficulties experienced by autistic individuals in decision-making En ligne : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rasd.2022.101935 Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=459 [article] Exploring maximizing, satisficing and minimizing tendency in decision-making among autistic and neurotypical individuals [Texte imprimé et/ou numérique] / Nicky ROGGE, Auteur . - 101935.
