Titre : PDDBI and ADOS-2 autism severity scores are correlated but yield discrepant levels of severity across assessment sites Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ira L. COHEN, Auteur ; Claire SCHUTTE, Auteur ; Laura HEWITSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102206 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ADOS-2 Comparison Score PDDBI Autism Composite Diagnostic sites Autism severity Comorbidity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Previous studies have indicated significant associations between the severity of PDDBI composite T-scores and ADOS severity. However, significant correlations do not necessarily indicate similar absolute levels of severity which can vary with informants and with how cases are ascertained across diagnostic sites. Methods The relationships between the Comparison Score (CS) measure of autism severity from the ADOS-2 and Composite T-scores from the PDD Behavior Inventory (PDDBI) were examined across parent and teacher informants from cases seen at a tertiary diagnostic center (n = 157) and, for parent informants, an additional site - a diagnostic/treatment center (n = 104), which provides services that attracted cases with comorbid medical and behavioral concerns. Results Across informants, CS scores were more strongly correlated with the PDDBI composite scores assessing social communication abilities (EXSCA/C) and overall autism severity (AUTISM/C) than with the composite score assessing repetitive and ritualistic behaviors (REPRIT/C) with mean severity levels of REPRIT/C and AUTISM/C slightly, but significantly, higher for teachers. Across centers, correlations between PDDBI composite scores and CS were very similar. However, while average CS scores were more severe at the tertiary center, PDDBI AUTISM/C scores were more severe at the diagnostic/treatment center solely due to higher REPRIT/C severity T-scores, likely related to their greater rates of comorbid issues. Conclusions These results indicate the importance of using a variety of assessment tools when making diagnostic and treatment decisions and assessing outcome with repetitive and ritualistic behaviors particularly sensitive to ascertainment factors.

We sought to inform this issue through a systematic review and meta-analysis of potential sex differences specifically in young autistic children across a range of domains including core ASD features, social functioning, cognition, and co-occurring internalising and/or externalising conditions. The systematic review identified 35 studies examining sex differences in young autistic children. Conflicting results were evident across studies, with some reporting small sex differences and others reporting no sex differences. Meta-analysis revealed no overarching significant sex differences in the domains investigated. However, the meta-analytic effect for the RRB domain approached significance, with females demonstrating fewer RRBs than males. Many of the primary studies included here utilised data from standardised diagnostic instruments to measure autism features, so while this study suggests non-significant sex differences in early childhood ASD, it remains possible that current tools are insufficiently sensitive to detect differences in ASD presentation by sex at this age. It is also possible that the diagnostic criteria may reflect a predominately 'male phenotype' and this may obscure the detection of genuine sex differences in young autistic children.

While there are general clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) available for managing pediatric needle pain and fear, it is unclear whether these strategies are appropriate for autistic children and their caregivers. Method The objective of this study was to explore caregiver perspectives on what is needed for needle procedures to be comfortable and CPGs to be appropriate for them and their autistic child. Twenty Canadian caregivers of autistic children were interviewed, including open-ended questions and ratings of how helpful CPG strategies would be for autistic children. Results Using reflexive thematic analysis, four themes were identified: 1) autistic children?s sense of autonomy is important; 2) external factors impact autistic children?s comfort (e.g., environment, familiarity, healthcare providers); 3) caregivers play a key role by preparing themselves and others before needle procedures and 4) it is essential to tailor CPG strategies to children?s needs. Conclusions Findings indicate that a child and family-centered approach is imperative to making needle procedures comfortable for autistic children. Practical recommendations for healthcare providers and caregivers are provided.

Although many studies demonstrated the effects of telehealth on autistic children, meta-analyses of the benefits to parents are lacking. Aim To examine the effects of telehealth on parents of autistic children in terms of fidelity in parents and problem behaviors in autistic children. Methods We conducted a systematic search in PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane library in July 2022. Data were analyzed using RevMan 5.4, and changes in implementation fidelity, self-efficacy, and stress in parents and behavioral problems in autistic children were compared and quality assessment was conducted. Results 17 controlled trials were included in this meta-analysis. The parent implementation fidelity (p = .003, CI = 0.58-2.74) and self-efficacy (p = .005, CI = 0.11-0.63) significantly increased and parent stress (p = .02, CI = ?1.23 to ?0.10) and children's problem behaviors significantly decreased (p = .002, CI = ?2.70 to ?0.60) in the telehealth group compared with the control group. Eight articles indicated the feasibility of using telehealth interventions. No significant differences were noted between the telehealth and face-to-face groups. Conclusion Telehealth interventions improved the implementation fidelity and self-efficacy and reduced the stress of parents of autistic children. However, the differences in their effects between the telehealth and face-to-face groups must be analyzed in future studies.

If moderate risk is identified, the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised with Follow-up (M-CHAT-R/F) should be used. We evaluated the knowledge and use of the M-CHAT-R and M-CHAT-R/F in primary healthcare settings to reinforce the importance of these scales. Method In this descriptive cross-sectional study, primary care physicians were surveyed about their knowledge of both the M-CHAT-R and M-CHAT-R/F and how often they used them. The survey also included items about the necessity of training in the utilization of these scales and their integration into digital work platforms. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software. Results Of 250 participants, 76% (N = 190) were acquainted with the M-CHAT-R; however, only 21% (N = 52) applied it consistently. Additionally, 39% (N = 98) of the participants used it when they suspected ASD. The main reasons for not applying the scale were limited time, lack of experience with the M-CHAT-R, and forgetfulness. Regarding the M-CHAT-R/F, only 31% (N = 77) knew the scale, which was the main reason for not using it, and 45% (N = 113) reported that they referred to a neurodevelopmental pediatrician when ASD was suspected, even if the M-CHAT-R/F had not been applied. Conclusions Despite the recommendations, the M-CHAT-R/F is not routinely used in primary care. Professionals should reinforce their training for the correct and systematic application of this screening scale.

Despite the available research base describing isolated transition practices, efforts to document comprehensive programs combining multiple components in community settings are scant. This study aimed to explore stakeholders' experience of a post-school transition program, including their perceived program components, processes, and impacts that contributed to the program success. Method We conducted individual qualitative interviews with 17 program stakeholders, including autistic students, parents, mentors, community collaborators, and program staff. Findings were used to create a logic model that describes how various program components and processes effect changes in autistic youths and their parents. Results Results revealed that the program values are focused on student-led participation, a strength-based approach, individualization and customization, and professional development. Program activities holistically fostered development in the autistic youth through processes of imparting career-related knowledge, facilitating ecologically relevant practice, and providing supportive peers and environment. Stakeholders described heightened sense of self-awareness, self-esteem, independence, social competence, and preparedness for the future in autistic young adults, while parents also gained the trust and confidence in fostering autonomy in their adult children. Conclusions Transition program that integrates multiple components and processes informed by the evidence-based literature can facilitate career construction and development in autistic youth. Program model developed based on stakeholders' input can offer rich information about how a program works in a naturalistic context, which can support future program adaptaion and replication to meet the needs of diverse communities and settings.

KERNS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102221 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Anxiety Children Adolescents Autism Cognitive-behavioral therapy Treatment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Anxiety disorders (ADs) are common in youth with autism and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) may be less efficacious than among anxious youth without autism. Yet, little is known about which aspects of anxiety are targeted less effectively by CBT in youth with autism. Method We pooled youth with autism and ADs randomized to CBT or a control condition from five randomized controlled trials (RCTs; CBT, n = 197, Mage = 10.30 [2.05], age range: 7-16; control conditions, n = 83; Mage = 10.57 [2.30], age range: 7-16) and examined whether CBT outperformed control conditions across core aspects of anxiety and whether more pronounced autism traits predicted outcomes. CBT response in youth with autism was also compared to CBT response among anxious youth without autism (n = 129; Mage = 11.16 [2.80], age range: 7-17). Results CBT for youth with autism yielded significantly better effects than control conditions for frequency of symptoms, intensity of anxiety, avoidance, family interference, and social interference but not for physical symptoms of anxiety. Youth with more pronounced autism traits had poorer outcomes for frequency of symptoms, family interference, and social interference. Compared to anxious youth without autism, youth with autism had poorer outcomes for physical symptoms and family interference. Conclusions CBT is efficacious across core aspects of anxiety for youth with autism, but outcomes for anxiety-related interference, particularly for those with more pronounced autism traits, may be poorer than among youth without autism. More work is needed to better understand how anxiety impacts the everyday lives of anxious youth with autism and which interventions and support are needed.

CBT response in youth with autism was also compared to CBT response among anxious youth without autism (n = 129; Mage = 11.16 [2.80], age range: 7-17). Results CBT for youth with autism yielded significantly better effects than control conditions for frequency of symptoms, intensity of anxiety, avoidance, family interference, and social interference but not for physical symptoms of anxiety. Youth with more pronounced autism traits had poorer outcomes for frequency of symptoms, family interference, and social interference. Compared to anxious youth without autism, youth with autism had poorer outcomes for physical symptoms and family interference. Conclusions CBT is efficacious across core aspects of anxiety for youth with autism, but outcomes for anxiety-related interference, particularly for those with more pronounced autism traits, may be poorer than among youth without autism. More work is needed to better understand how anxiety impacts the everyday lives of anxious youth with autism and which interventions and support are needed.

Therefore, this study sought to compare the association between parent-reported daily screen time hours and parent-reported anxiety and depression in a large, nationally derived sample of autistic and neurotypical youth (i.e., with data from the National Survey of Children?s Health). Method Separate binary logistic regressions were conducted for depression and anxiety as the dependent variable. Screen time was the independent variable of interest in all models. Covariates included were child age, sex, and race, as well as family/household income. Screen time estimates/coefficients were compared across autistic and neurotypical youth. Results Findings showed that screen time was significantly associated with anxiety and depression in neurotypical youth; conversely, screen time was not significantly associated with anxiety and depression in autistic youth. Conclusions Results indicate that autistic children may have a different relationship with electronic screen media than neurotypical children. Whereas neurotypical youth find electronic screen media to be a source of social stress and comparison, autistic youth may not experience screen time as stress-inducing. Supporters (e.g., parents and clinicians) of autistic youth should consider whether the autistic child experiences screen time as promotive, reductive, or neither for their mental health before establishing screen time limits.

However, the current methods rely mainly on supervised learning, which requires a large amount of manually labeled data, making it an expensive and difficult task to scale. Methods To overcome this limitation, we propose a novel ensemble-based framework that learns a transferable and generalizable visual representation from different self-supervised features for the downstream task of ASD classification. This framework dynamically learns a superior representation by aggregating complementary information in the frequency domain from independent self-supervised features with limited data. Additionally, to address the information loss caused by the dimensionality reduction of 3D fMRI data, we propose a thresholding algorithm to optimally extract the most discriminant features from 2D rs-fMRI data. Results Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods by 19.69% on the ABIDE-1 dataset with a 10-fold cross-validation accuracy of 94.51%. Conclusion The proposed method learns a transferrable and generalizable ensembled representation by leveraging complementary information encoded in different self-supervised representations for ASD classification.

Culture and context may impact parenting stress. Some studies suggest that Asian caregivers with autistic children experience more stress compared to European/American caregivers although similar levels have also been reported. Child and caregiver factors (age, gender, income and educational level) may affect parenting stress differently in Asian and European countries. We compared parenting stress levels between caregivers of autistic children from China and the Netherlands, and examined the impact of caregiver factors (age, income, educational level) and child factors (gender) on parenting stress in both countries, and exploring the association with caregivers' worries about COVID-19. Method We used the 11-item Parenting Distress Subscale (PD) of the Nijmegen Parenting Stress Index (NPSI-PD) to compare parenting stress between two groups: 95 Chinese caregivers (76 boys; 19 girls) and 118 Dutch caregivers of autistic children (93 boys; 25 girls) aged 2-16 years. Controlling for child?s gender, caregivers' age, income, educational level and COVID-19-related concerns. Results Chinese caregivers of autistic children reported higher parenting stress levels than Dutch caregivers, despite fewer COVID-19 worries. Younger caregivers reported more parenting stress in both countries. Conclusion Culture and context may play a role in the parenting stress of caregivers with an autistic child. Factors influencing parenting stress in different socio-cultural settings are an important issue that requires further study.

Better quality student-teacher relationships (STRs) have been associated with improved student social and behavioral outcomes. When teachers use more positive response strategies (e.g., praise), they create more opportunities for positive interactions with students, likely developing closer STRs. Method The present study uses SEM to investigate a path by which teachers' use of positive response strategies is associated with closer STRs, which lead to improved social functioning and classroom engagement for N = 145 young autistic students (age 4-7 years). Factors contributing to teachers' reported frequency of using positive response strategies were also explored using multiple linear regression. Results The model was a close fit to the data (?2 (18, N = 145) = 18.4, p = .43, TLI = 1.0, CFI = 1.0, RMSEA = .01). Teachers who reported using positive response strategies more frequently had significantly closer STRs, which were associated with lasting improvements in students' social functioning and engagement in the classroom. Positive response strategies that teachers reported using most frequently were praise, positive comments, and incentives. Teachers' perceived usefulness of positive response strategies and regular trainings in autism were significantly associated with frequency of positive response strategy use. Conclusions Positive, supportive classrooms in which teachers utilized more positive response strategies and developed closer STRs were associated with young autistic students' academic engagement and social functioning. Regular autism trainings and perceived usefulness of positive response strategies emerged as significant factors for teachers' use of strategies.

The additional care burden of a child on the autistic spectrum is combined with the psychological and economic effects of asylum-seeking for families. Aims We aimed to contribute to understanding asylum-seeker fathers' experiences and to illuminate father engagement more comprehensively in the upbringing of children on the autistic spectrum. Methods and procedures As part of the research, fourteen Syrian asylum-seeker parents with children on the autistic spectrum were interviewed individually. The researchers used a inductive thematic analysis method. Outcomes and results We identified two themes. The first theme related to the barriers to fathers' engagement. Barriers included economic problems, double stigmatization, belonging problems, Covid-19-related barriers, and gender role norms. The second theme related to the factors that motivate father engagement. These factors were the number of children, the mother's mental health problems, lack of social support, and belief in God (Allah). Conclusions and implications The study provided important clues about the contribution of civil society support to individuals who have been asylum-seekers. In addition, policies that encourage reducing stigmatization and supporting the integration process of asylum-seekers can be developed.
