The prevalence of clinical and subclinical anxiety as well as the correlates of anxiety were examined in three age groups of children: preschool, school age and adolescents. Findings showed that the prevalence of anxiety in each age group exceeded the prevalence of anxiety in the general population. Adolescents and school age children had the highest prevalence of clinical (40%) and subclinical anxiety (26%), respectively. Higher IQ and less ASD severity were each weakly correlated with more anxiety in preschool and school age children. Affective symptoms were strongly associated with anxiety in each age group. Age specific psychiatric comorbidities were also present. Anxiety was associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) symptoms in the preschool group, ODD and somatic symptoms in the school age children, and ADHD symptoms in adolescents. These data underscore the need for prevention and treatment of anxiety as well as research examining the characteristics of anxiety in children with ASD using a developmental framework.

Anxiety in autistic preschool children: Phenomenology and a network analysis of correlates / Roma A. VASA in Autism Research, 16-8 (August 2023)

KERNS, Auteur ; Vini SINGH, Auteur ; Rachel MCDONALD, Auteur ; Yeon Sik JANG, Auteur ; Amy KEEFER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1561-1572 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Anxiety disorders in autistic children are associated with significant functional impairment. Few studies have examined impairing anxiety presentations in autistic preschool children (i.e., 3-5?years old). This cross-sectional study examined the phenomenology of impairing anxiety and the strongest correlates of anxiety in 75 autistic preschool children. Parents completed a diagnostic interview that assesses two anxiety types, DSM-5 anxiety disorders and impairing distinct anxiety presentations, and measures of anxiety correlates. An exploratory network analysis examined connections between anxiety and its correlates. Forty percent of children had impairing anxiety. Specific phobia followed by 'other social fear,' a type of distinct anxiety, were the most common anxiety types. Child intolerance of uncertainty (IU) was the only correlate that was associated with anxiety in a network analysis framework. Child IU linked anxiety to two other correlates, sensory over-responsivity and somatic symptoms. Findings emphasize the need for early intervention for anxiety and further research on its correlates.

We examined the characteristics of dysregulation in children presenting to a multidisciplinary ASD clinic for an ASD diagnostic evaluation. Sixty percent of children presenting for an ASD evaluation exhibited dysregulation. Dysregulation prevalence was higher in children without ASD versus with ASD (69% versus 56%). Severe dysregulation was higher in children without ASD (29% versus 16%). Both groups with severe dysregulation were equally likely to be taking psychiatric medications, however, children with ASD were less likely to be receiving therapy. These findings highlight the importance of implementing dysregulation screening and treatment protocols in ASD centers.

Little is known about the effect that co-occurring psychiatric conditions may have on treatment response to CBT for children with ASD and anxiety. The present study examined the relationship between co-occurring psychiatric diagnoses and response to CBT for anxiety in ninety youth with ASD. Psychiatric complexity did not appear to differentially impact treatment response. A notable portion of youth with anxiety and externalizing disorders such as ADHD, no longer met criteria for those externalizing diagnoses following intervention. Results indicate that youth with ASD and anxiety present with complex psychiatric profiles and CBT for anxiety may positively affect co-occurring diagnoses. In addition, thorough and nuanced assessment of psychiatric symptoms in youth with ASD is needed to ensure the differentiation between diagnoses of anxiety and other co-occurring psychiatric symptoms.

Examining the sustained use of a cognitive behavioral therapy program for youth with autism spectrum disorder and co-occurring anxiety / Katherine PICKARD in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 73 (May 2019)

However, few studies have examined clinicians’ sustained use of CBT programs after training efforts have ended. The present study is a follow-up to a clinical trial that examined the implementation and treatment outcomes in response to a group CBT program for youth with ASD and co-occurring anxiety (i.e., Facing Your Fears; FYF). This study uses a mixed-methods approach to understand: 1) the percentage of clinicians who continue to use FYF at least four years after being trained in the program (i.e., sustainment); 2) adaptations that have been made to FYF in order to sustain its fit within clinical settings; and 3) factors that influence clinicians’ sustained use of FYF. Method Thirty of 34 clinicians who were initially trained to use FYF responded to a mixed-methods survey asking about their sustained use of the program, adaptations made to FYF, attitudes towards FYF, and perceived barriers to continued FYF use. Results Results demonstrated that a majority of clinicians reported that they continue to use the FYF program. Clinicians described that they continue to use FYF due to their perceptions of the program’s effectiveness, ease of use, and compatibility, but also made a variety of adaptations to FYF. Conclusion Results from the present study help to better understand factors impacting the sustained use of CBT for youth with ASD. They also highlight the importance of proactive efforts within clinical training to plan for intervention adaptation and to consider factors likely to impact program sustainment.
