This study aimed at evaluating the predictive value of atypicalities in FR and IFE for future symptom severity in children with ASD. Therefore we performed a seven-year follow-up study in 87 children with ASD. FR and IFE were assessed in childhood (T1: age 6–12) using the Amsterdam Neuropsychological Tasks (ANT). Symptom severity was assessed using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) in childhood and again seven years later during adolescence (T2: age 12–19). Multiple regression analyses were performed to investigate whether FR and IFE in childhood predicted ASD symptom severity in adolescence, while controlling for ASD symptom severity in childhood. We found that more accurate FR significantly predicted lower adolescent ASD symptom severity scores (?R2 = .09), even when controlling for childhood ASD symptom severity. IFE was not a significant predictor of ASD symptom severity in adolescence. From these results it can be concluded, that in children with ASD the accuracy of FR in childhood is a relevant predictor of ASD symptom severity in adolescence. Test results on FR in children with ASD may have prognostic value regarding later symptom severity.

The association of quality of social relations, symptom severity and intelligence with anxiety in children with autism spectrum disorders / Mart L.J.M. EUSSEN in Autism, 17-6 (November 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 17-6 (November 2013) . - p.723-735 Titre : The association of quality of social relations, symptom severity and intelligence with anxiety in children with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mart L.J.M. EUSSEN, Auteur ; Arthur R. VAN GOOL, Auteur ; Fop VERHEIJ, Auteur ; Pieter F.A. DE NIJS, Auteur ; Frank C. VERHULST, Auteur ; Kirstin GREAVES-LORD, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : p.723-735 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : anxiety  autism spectrum disorders  intelligence  social relations  symptom severity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Limited quality of social relations, milder symptom severity and higher intelligence were shown to account for higher anxiety levels in autism spectrum disorders. The current study replicated and extended earlier findings by combining these three determinants of anxiety in autism spectrum disorders in one study. The sample consisted of 134 school-aged children with autism spectrum disorders, of whom 58 (43%) had a co-morbid anxiety disorder according to the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children–Parent version. In this sample, we tested associations between these determinants and anxiety univariately and multivariately to clarify the unique contribution of all determinants. Since we hypothesized that the association between limited quality of social relations and anxiety would be amplified by low symptom severity and/or high intelligence, we additionally tested for moderating effects. We found that higher anxiety levels were associated with a lower quality of social relations and lower symptom severity. In this mainly high-functioning sample, intelligence was not related to anxiety levels. No moderation effects were found. Since lower quality of social relations and lower symptom severity are associated with higher anxiety levels in children with autism spectrum disorders, therapeutic interventions aimed at reducing anxiety in autism spectrum disorders should pay attention to improving social relations, and presumably children with a lower symptom severity could benefit most from such interventions.
