Comparing cognitive functioning in schizophrenia and autism using WAIS-III / Marion DE BOER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-7 (July 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 8-7 (July 2014) . - p.737-745 Titre : Comparing cognitive functioning in schizophrenia and autism using WAIS-III Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Marion DE BOER, Auteur ; Annelies A. SPEK, Auteur ; Jill LOBBESTAEL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.737-745 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Schizophrenia  Autism  Cognitive functioning  WAIS-III  Processing speed Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract The main goal of this study was to investigate differences and similarities in general cognitive functioning between adults with schizophrenia and autism, because this has not been systematically investigated. We used a cross-sectional design to compare adults with schizophrenia (n = 27), with autism (n = 114) and a healthy control group (n = 30). Schizophrenia diagnoses were based on the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM-IV Axis I (SCID-I) and behavioral symptoms were assessed with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Autism was diagnosed with a DSM-IV questionnaire for autism spectrum disorders and the Autistic Diagnostic Interview, revised version. The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, third version (WAIS-III) was used to assess cognitive functions. All participants were between 18 and 65 years of age and had a minimum full scale intelligence of 80. Results showed that patients with schizophrenia scored significantly lower on processing speed than patients with autism and the healthy control group. Differences on other index scales were not found. In participants with schizophrenia a correlation was found between processing speed impairment and negative symptoms. Diagnosis could be predicted correctly with WAIS-III profile in 70.4% of the cases with schizophrenia compared to 56.7% of the healthy control group and 22.8% of the autism group.

Sexuality in Adolescent Boys with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Self-reported Behaviours and Attitudes / Jeroen DEWINTER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-3 (March 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 45-3 (March 2015) . - p.731-741 Titre : Sexuality in Adolescent Boys with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Self-reported Behaviours and Attitudes Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jeroen DEWINTER, Auteur ; Robert R. J. M. VERMEIREN, Auteur ; Ine VANWESENBEECK, Auteur ; Jill LOBBESTAEL, Auteur ; Chijs VAN NIEUWENHUIZEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.731-741 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Asperger’s disorder  Sexuality  Sexual behaviour Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Differences in sexual functioning of adolescents with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are understudied. In the current study, self-reported sexual behaviours, interests and attitudes of 50 adolescent boys, aged 15–18, with at least average intelligence and diagnosed with ASD, were compared with a matched general population control group of 90 boys. Results demonstrated substantial similarity between the groups in terms of sexual behaviours. The only significant difference was that boys with ASD reacted more tolerant towards homosexuality compared to the control group. Results reveal that sexuality is a normative part of adolescent development in high-functioning boys with ASD. Hence, attention should be given to this topic in education and mental health care.
