This study examined the ability of a modified version of the Q-ASC (Q-ASC-M; Ormond et al., 2018) to differentiate children with and without ASD-Level 1. Participants included 111 parents of autistic children and 212 parents of neurotypical children (5-12 years). Results suggested that the gendered behaviour, sensory sensitivity, compliant behaviours, imagination, and imitation subscales differentiated autistic females from neurotypical females. Compared to autistic males, autistic females had higher scores on gendered behaviour, sensory sensitivity, social masking, and imitation. Results are discussed in relation to early detection of autistic female children.

Cognitive behavior therapy for anxious autistic children: An exploration of week-by-week changes / Rachel T. PEARCE in Research in Autism, 130 (February 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 130 (February 2026) . - p.202769 Titre : Cognitive behavior therapy for anxious autistic children: An exploration of week-by-week changes Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rachel T.

CAMPBELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.202769 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Anxiety  Autistic children  Changes across therapy  Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)  Coping Self-efficacy Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Objective Amongst autistic children, anxiety and low coping self-efficacy are common experiences, and interventions to strengthen autistic children in these areas may improve long term therapeutic outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine how anxiety and coping self-efficacy changes across an autism-focused cognitive-behavioral program. Method Parents and autistic anxious children from nine families living in a regional area of Australia completed measures of anxiety and coping self-efficacy each week of an eight-week program (72 data points). Results For the majority of families, results were consistent with positive but fluctuating gains across intervention sessions. Progress was more evident in parent reports than in children’s reports. Engagement with the program was excellent. Conclusion Progress across the intervention was generally good but characterized by weekly experiences of strong growth and lapse. Preparing children and parents for the common experience of large fluctuations across sessions may be reassuring and promote continuing engagement with support services.

Further Evidence on the Factorial Structure of the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) for Adults With and Without a Clinical Diagnosis of Autism / Winnie Yu-Pow LAU in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 43-12 (December 2013)

This study aimed to establish an internally coherent and reliable factor structure for the AQ using a sample of 455 Australian adults of whom 141 had autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnoses. Principal component analysis revealed a 39-item questionnaire with five-factors: Sociability, Social Cognition, Interest in Patterns, Narrow Focus and Resistance to Change. The revised AQ-39 had sound goodness-of-fit indices, good-to-excellent internal consistency and test–retest reliability, and scores for ASD and non-ASD participants were significantly different. The AQ-39 may be useful in screening and for guiding the focus of therapy.

Parents on the autism continuum: Links with parenting efficacy / Winnie Yu-Pow LAU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 26 (June 2016)

Parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) were studied in three groups: (a) families in which both the parent and the child had a DSM-IV-TR ASD diagnosis (n = 109); (b) families in which only the child had a DSM-IV-TR ASD diagnosis (n = 128); and (c) families in which no member had ASD (n = 109). Each subject completed the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) and a measure of parenting efficacy. Fathers with ASD had the lowest parental efficacy, but mothers with ASD had comparable levels of parental efficacy to parents without ASD in the family. Results suggest that screening and intervention to build fathers parental efficacy may be a useful adjunct to therapy.

The nature of anxiety in autistic children and its association with dimensions of autism and coping: A regional Australian study / Rachel T. PEARCE in Research in Autism, 130 (February 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 130 (February 2026) . - p.202765 Titre : The nature of anxiety in autistic children and its association with dimensions of autism and coping: A regional Australian study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rachel T. PEARCE, Auteur ; Adrian B. KELLY, Auteur ; Marilyn A. CAMPBELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.202765 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Separation anxiety  Autism  Children  Mothers  Coping self-efficacy  Restricted and repetitive behaviours Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Purpose Understanding potentially malleable aspects of autistic children’s processing of social situations may lead to refinements in anxiety-focused interventions for autistic children. In this study, we explored how anxious autistic children compared to anxious non-autistic children in their experiences of anxiety, their coping self-efficacy, and how these were related to social behaviour. Methods Participants were 20 autistic and 38 non-autistic children (50 % of total sample were male) aged 6–10 years and their parents. Parents completed measures of child anxiety subtypes and social behaviour. Children completed measures of anxiety and coping self-efficacy. Pearson correlations, independent samples t test, and ANOVAs were used to examine bivariate relationships between groups on study variables. Principal results In families with an anxious autistic child, there was higher overall anxiety, high separation anxiety, and low social support-related coping self-efficacy. Separation anxiety was associated with restricted and repetitive behaviours. There was evidence of differences in the associations between anxiety subtypes and social behaviour in anxious autistic children compared to anxious non-autistic children. Major conclusions Findings suggest that separation anxiety should be a priority in anxiety-focused interventions with autistic children, and educating/training caregivers (including parents and teachers) in facilitating safe social support may be important.
