Risk of psychiatric comorbidity with autism spectrum disorder and its association with diagnosis timing using a nationally representative cohort / Soo Jung RIM in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 104 (June 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 104 (June 2023) . - 102134 Titre : Risk of psychiatric comorbidity with autism spectrum disorder and its association with diagnosis timing using a nationally representative cohort Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Soo Jung RIM, Auteur ; KeumJoo KWAK, Auteur ; Subin PARK, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102134 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)  Psychiatric comorbidity  Diagnosis timing  Korea Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background A major issue of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is having a comorbid, psychiatric disorder. However, the mental health of those with ASD is understudied. This study this study utilized a nationally representative population-based cohort data, to investigate the risk of psychiatric comorbidity with ASD and its association with, diagnosis timing. Methods Characteristics of those without ASD, ASD (overall), early-diagnosed ASD, and latediagnosed, ASD were compared using a chi-squared test. Subsequently, a multiple, logistic regression was performed to estimate the risk of psychiatric comorbidity in, those with ASD, early-diagnosed ASD, and late-diagnosed ASD compared to those, without ASD, after controlling for covariates. Moreover, the association of psychiatric, comorbidity and diagnosis timing of ASD was investigated using multiple logistics while controlling for covariates. Results Individuals with ASD had a higher risk of having a psychiatric disorder than those, without ASD. Specifically, those with ASD showed a higher risk of schizophrenia and, related disorders, mood disorders, anxiety and stress disorders, intellectual disability, and behavioral and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring during childhood, and adolescence compared to those without ASD. Moreover, individuals with latediagnosed, ASD showed a higher risk of having all comorbid psychiatric disorder than, early-diagnosed ASD when compared to non-ASD, except for schizophrenia and related disorders. Conclusions Children with ASD are at a higher risk of psychiatric comorbidity than typically, developed children. Especially early ASD diagnosis may be important in alleviating the, risk of psychiatric comorbidity of those with ASD.

The SSIS-RS is a widely used social skills assessment for autistic children, but the validity of this measure for use with this heterogeneous population has yet to be confirmed. Using data from a previous large-scale investigation by the National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorder, this study explored the factor structure of the SSIS-RS, examined how autistic children were rated using the SSIS-RS, and evaluated how scores on the SSIS-RS were related to special education placement. Method Confirmatory and Exploratory Factor Analysis examined the factor structure of the SSIS-RS for a sample of 492 autistic children, ages four to 12. An independent samples t-test using subscale scores of the SSIS-RS was conducted to evaluate differences between autistic children learning in different educational settings. Results Results of the EFA yielded a 4-factor solution and support the internal validity of the SSIS-RS. Subscale scores for social skills, problem behavior, and academic competence differed significantly between students in general and separate settings with academic performance scores differing much less than social skills or behavior. Conclusion This study examines strengths and weaknesses of the SSIS-RS as a tool for assessing autistic children through discussion of items removed from and retained in the model. Discussion of results includes implications for teacher interpretations of SSIS-RS scores, recommendations for modifications to the measure, and insights about educational placement and inclusive programming.

''They don?t understand how bad I feel'': Inconsistencies between mother-rated and self-rated symptoms of depression in autistic girls / Vicki BITSIKA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 104 (June 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 104 (June 2023) . - 102145 Titre : ''They don?t understand how bad I feel'': Inconsistencies between mother-rated and self-rated symptoms of depression in autistic girls Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Vicki BITSIKA, Auteur ; Christopher F. SHARPLEY, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102145 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Girls  Depression  Mothers  Symptoms Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Most previous reports of the level of agreement between parents' and their autistic children?s self-reports of the latter?s depression have used the total score from a scale. However, depression is a heterogeneous disorder, comprised of 10 discrete symptoms. This study examined carer-reports versus self-reports of depressive symptomatology in autistic girls. Method Fifty-three autistic girls and their mothers completed the Major Depressive Disorder subscale of the Child and Adolescent Symptom Inventory (4th ed). Data were examined at the individual symptom level, and also in terms of whether mothers under- or over-rated their daughter?s self-reports. Results Although about 15% of the mothers and daughters gave the same total score ratings, nearly 38% of mothers over-rated their daughters' ratings, and more than 47% under-rated their daughters' severity of depression scores. The autistic girls rated their change in activity and their change in sleeping more severely than their mothers did, but the mothers rated their daughters' anhedonia more severely. Conclusions Assessment of autistic girls depression symptom profiles may be less than completely accurate when based solely upon mothers' information. The pattern of mother-daughter depression symptom inconsistencies suggests that individualised treatment planning for depression in autistic girls may be partially impeded by the possibility that these girls seek to disguise some of their depressive symptomatology, and that mothers' ratings may also be influenced by their own depressive state.

Health anxiety in autistic adults / John GALVIN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 104 (June 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 104 (June 2023) . - 102146 Titre : Health anxiety in autistic adults Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : John GALVIN, Auteur ; Gareth RICHARDS, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102146 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Autistic Traits  Health Anxiety  Sex Differences  Co-morbidities Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Health anxiety involves misinterpreting normal bodily sensations as symptoms of a serious illness. No study to date has explored health anxiety in autistic adults. This cross-sectional study had three aims: 1) to examine the levels of health anxiety in autistic and non-autistic adults, 2) to explore sex differences in health anxiety across both subsamples, and 3) to determine whether autistic traits were associated with health anxiety in either or both subsamples. Method A cross-sectional self-report questionnaire measuring demographic information (sex, age, ethnicity), diagnostic information, comorbid diagnoses, autistic traits, and health anxiety was distributed to 110 autistic and 110 non-autistic adults without intellectual disability. Results The findings showed health anxiety to be significantly higher in autistic than non-autistic adults, and significantly higher in females than males in both subsamples. Almost 1 in 3 autistic people reported clinically significant levels of health anxiety. Positive correlations were found between autistic traits and health anxiety in both autistic and non-autistic subsamples, and these relationships remained statistically significantly after controlling for covariates. Conclusions This is the first study to investigate health anxiety in a sample of autistic people, and also the first to consider the relationship between autistic traits and health anxiety in both autistic and non-autistic individuals. The findings have both clinical and research implications.

Exploring the relationship between challenging behaviour and mental health disorder in autistic individuals with intellectual disabilities / Arvid Nikolai KILDAHL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 104 (June 2023)

While the prevalence of mental health disorder in this population is high, recognition and identification of these disorders may be challenging. No previous study of the relationship with challenging behaviour has used mental health measures specifically developed for this population. Method Using a standardised tool for challenging behaviour (Aberrant Behavior Checklist, ABC), differences between participants were explored according to whether they were diagnosed with a mental health disorder, in a clinical sample of 175 autistic individuals with co-occurring intellectual disabilities (ages 14-68) referred for mental health assessment. The relationship between severity of challenging behaviour and severity of mental health symptoms reported on the Psychopathology in Autism Checklist (PAC) was also explored. Results Few group differences were identified for challenging behaviour according to diagnosis, but clear associations were identified between PAC and ABC scales. These included general/non-specific associations and more specific associations that remained significant when controlling for the underlying conditions. Potential interactions were found involving different PAC scales and age, gender, autism-related characteristics, level of intellectual disability, and communication skills, respectively, but these varied for each ABC scale. Conclusions The relationship between challenging behaviour and mental health disorder appears to be complex and multifaceted. The lack of specificity of challenging behaviour indicates that these cannot reliably be used to identify specific mental health disorders, even if these behaviours may constitute atypical expressions of mental health symptoms.

Examining mental and physical health between autistic women and women with serious mental illness / M. DUBREUCQ in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 104 (June 2023)

DUBREUCQ, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102148 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Women's health  Autism  Serious mental illness  Psychosocial function  Mental and physical health Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Compared with their male counterparts, autistic women and women with serious mental illness (SMI) usually report comparable or better objective outcomes (e.g. more socially valued roles) but also poorer subjective outcomes (e.g. depression). While a number of studies investigated gender differences in adult outcome in autism or in SMI, this study is to our knowledge one of the first to compare whether autistic women would differ from women with SMI in their profiles of co-occurring health conditions, psychosocial function and in variables related to socially valued roles. Methods To explore this issue, we recruited 112 women (57 autistic women and 55 women with SMI) from one center of the REHABase cohort. Evaluation included a medical interview (DSM-5), an interview by a trained midwife to investigate co-occurring health conditions and a standardized scale for psychosocial function (Global Assessment of Functioning scale; GAF). Results Compared with women with SMI, autistic women had better psychosocial function but had also a higher mean number of co-occurring mental and physical health conditions. Autistic women were more likely to report current depression (beta=2.25; p = 0.002), current anxiety (beta=2.67; p < 0.001) and a history of school bullying (beta=2.05; p = 0.013). Autistic women reported less desire to become mothers. Conclusions While autistic women and women with SMI report additional challenges resulting in poorer mental health compared with non-autistic women and their male counterparts, the present study suggests that autistic women may experience unique challenges and have unique treatment needs that should be taken into account when designing service provision.

Systematic review of the effectiveness and cultural adaptation of social skills interventions for adolescents with autism spectrum disorders in Asia / Nadlada TAWANKANJANACHOT in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 104 (June 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 104 (June 2023) . - 102163 Titre : Systematic review of the effectiveness and cultural adaptation of social skills interventions for adolescents with autism spectrum disorders in Asia Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Nadlada TAWANKANJANACHOT, Auteur ; Craig MELVILLE, Auteur ; Abdullah HABIB, Auteur ; Maria TRUESDALE, Auteur ; Lisa KIDD, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102163 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Social skills intervention  Autism  Cultural adaptation  Adolescents  Meta-analysis  Asia Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Social skills interventions have been shown to improve social skills in adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Because the majority of social skills interventions have been trialled in Western countries, they may not be generalisable to Asian countries with a different cultural background. The purpose of this review was to determine the efficacy and cultural adaptability of social skills interventions for adolescents with ASD (aged 10-19 years) in Asian countries. Method This review incorporated quantitative and mixed methods published, peer-reviewed research. Five electronic databases were searched. This review followed the PRISMA guidelines. A meta-analysis was conducted by using Revman 5.4 for 3 studies. Results In total, 15 studies were included in the review (n = 332), conducted across 7 Asian countries. Seven studies had undergone cultural adaptation in 3 countries (e.g., Hong Kong, South Korea, and Israel). Meta-analysis results for three comparable studies showed that the cultural adaptation of social skills interventions improved social skills knowledge of adolescents with ASD. Conclusion The review identified that social skills interventions for adolescents with ASD in Asian countries, particularly those which have been adapted to adolescents' cultural needs and preferences, are potentially effective for improving social skills. However, due to the study's limitations and the heterogeneity of included studies, further research is needed to provide strong evidence.

Prediction of school-age outcomes for autistic children following receipt of group-early start denver model / Megan CLARK in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 104 (June 2023)

Method: Thirty-one autistic children that had received 12-months of Group-based Early Start Denver Model (G-ESDM) in a community childcare during their pre-school years were followed longitudinally. Cognition and autism behaviours were re-assessed at school-age. Results: Children?s non-verbal and verbal cognition at baseline predicted within the same developmental domains at school age, with early verbal and non-verbal cognition also predicting adaptive behaviour at school age. Conclusions: This is the first study to document the relationship between early baseline characteristics at intake into EI and later school age outcomes following G-ESDM cessation. Importantly, the current findings reveal that developmental gains following receipt of a naturalistic developmental behavioural intervention within a community setting extend beyond the EI years and into the school years.

Differences in cardiac vagal modulation and cortisol response in adolescents with and without Autism Spectrum Disorder / Anoushka THOEN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 104 (June 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 104 (June 2023) . - 102166 Titre : Differences in cardiac vagal modulation and cortisol response in adolescents with and without Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anoushka THOEN, Auteur ; Kaat ALAERTS, Auteur ; Jean STEYAERT, Auteur ; Sophie PLEYSIER, Auteur ; Tine VAN DAMME, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102166 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder  Cardiac vagal modulation  Stress physiology  Cross-sectional study Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Previous research pointed towards a need of enhanced understanding of cardiac vagal modulation during resting and stress conditions in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This cross-sectional study addressed the following hypotheses: lower values of cardiac vagal modulation will be found in adolescents with ASD in comparison to typically developing (TD) peers; different levels of cardiac vagal reactivity and recovery will be found in adolescents with ASD. In addition, exploratory analyses examined the possible association between cardiac vagal modulation and psychosocial functioning and baseline cortisol levels. Methods Age and sex matched groups of adolescents (13-17 year) with ASD (n = 47) and TD peers (n = 47) were included. Heart rate, breathing frequency and cortisol levels were determined during baseline and a standardized stress-provoking assessment. Behavioral data concerning autism and behavioral characteristics were collected prior to the assessment. Results Adolescents with ASD displayed lower levels of cardiac vagal modulation during baseline and stress-provocation compared to their TD peers. However, levels of cardiac vagal reactivity and recovery were similar across groups. Exploratory analyses indicated weak to moderate associations between the level of cardiac vagal modulation and self- and parent-reported measures of autism characteristics and psychosocial functioning in adolescents with ASD. No significant associations were found between baseline cortisol levels and cardiac vagal modulation in both groups. Conclusion These findings suggest a parasympathetic hypo-activity in adolescents with ASD and, although the level of reactivity and recovery was the same as TD peers, this hypo-activity might be related to several aspects of psychosocial functioning.

Functioning and quality of life in transition-aged youth on the autism spectrum - associations with autism symptom severity and mental health problems / Anna BACKMAN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 104 (June 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 104 (June 2023) . - 102168 Titre : Functioning and quality of life in transition-aged youth on the autism spectrum - associations with autism symptom severity and mental health problems Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anna BACKMAN, Auteur ; Eric ZANDER, Auteur ; Lise ROLL-PETTERSSON, Auteur ; Sarah VIGERLAND, Auteur ; Tatja HIRVIKOSKI, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102168 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Functioning  Co-occurrence  Self-report  Autism spectrum disorder  Transition-age  Quality of life Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Previous research notes difficulties in functioning and low quality of life (QoL) among transition-age youth on the autism spectrum, and poor mental health may contribute to these difficulties. This study examined the role of autism symptom severity and mental health problems on self-reported functioning and QoL in treatment-seeking transition-age autistic youth. The study included 140 autistic youth (16-25 years, M = 20.44 (SD = 2.95); n = 91 females [65%], n = 42 males [30%], n = 7 non-binary [5%]). We assessed functioning using a structured interview and QoL through a self-report questionnaire. Factors potentially associated with functioning and QoL were assessed using standardized self-report questionnaires of autism symptom severity, symptoms of anxiety and depression, and information from medical records. Participants reported functioning on the 90th percentile compared to general population norms, indicating significant disability, and also rated low overall QoL. Regression analysis showed that autism symptom severity and anxiety symptoms, and to some extent gender and having an ADHD diagnosis, explained 46% of the variance in overall functioning. Symptoms of anxiety and depression, and to a lesser extent, active friendship, explained 43% of the variance in QoL. Sampling limitations of the study include the overrepresentation of women and newly diagnosed participants. We highlight that functioning and QoL are multifactorial, necessitating a comprehensive assessment of transition-aged autistic youth, including mental health problems, to plan tangible interventions.
