Anxiety symptoms in young people with autism spectrum disorder attending special schools: Associations with gender, adaptive functioning and autism symptomatology / Iliana MAGIATI in Autism, 20-3 (April 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 20-3 (April 2016) . - p.306-320 Titre : Anxiety symptoms in young people with autism spectrum disorder attending special schools: Associations with gender, adaptive functioning and autism symptomatology Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Iliana MAGIATI, Auteur ; Clarissa ONG, Auteur ; Xin Yi LIM, Auteur ; Julianne Wen-Li TAN, Auteur ; Amily Yi Lin ONG, Auteur ; Ferninda PATRYCIA, Auteur ; Daniel S.S. FUNG, Auteur ; Min SUNG, Auteur ; Kenneth K. POON, Auteur ; Patricia HOWLIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.306-320 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescents  anxiety  autism spectrum disorder  children  correlates predictors Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Anxiety-related problems are among the most frequently reported mental health difficulties in autism spectrum disorder. As most research has focused on clinical samples or high-functioning children with autism spectrum disorder, less is known about the factors associated with anxiety in community samples across the ability range. This cross-sectional study examined the association of gender, age, adaptive functioning and autism symptom severity with different caregiver-reported anxiety symptoms. Participants were caregivers of 241 children (6–18 years old) with autism spectrum disorder attending special schools in Singapore. Measures included the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale and assessments of overall emotional, behavioural and adaptive functioning. Caregivers reported more anxiety symptoms in total, but fewer social anxiety symptoms, than Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale Australian/Dutch norms. There were no gender differences. Variance in total anxiety scores was best explained by severity of repetitive speech/stereotyped behaviour symptoms, followed by adaptive functioning. Severity of repetitive speech/behaviour symptoms was a significant predictor of separation anxiety, generalized anxiety, panic/agoraphobia and obsessive–compulsive subscale symptoms, but not of social phobia and physical injury fears. Adaptive functioning and chronological age predicted social phobia and generalized anxiety symptoms only. Severity of social/communication autism symptoms did not explain any anxiety symptoms, when the other variables were controlled for. Findings are discussed in relation to the existing literature. Limitations and possible implications for prevention, assessment and intervention are also discussed.

Brain-computer interface based attention and social cognition training programme for children with ASD and co-occurring ADHD: A feasibility trial / Sze-Hui Jane TEO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 89 (November 2021)

This study examined the feasibility of an EEG brain-computer interface (BCI) programme for children with ASD and co-occurring ADHD. Method Twenty children were randomised to the intervention or waitlist-control group. Intervention consisted of thrice-weekly sessions of BCI-based training over 8 weeks. Both groups were followed up 4 weeks later. The BCI-based programme comprised of a series of attention and gaze-modulated games aimed to train social cognitive skills. Results All participants completed at least 20 training sessions and none dropped out of the study. No severe adverse events were reported. Side effects included mild headaches, fatigue, irritability and self-injurious behaviours. All were addressed within the same session. Feedback from therapists indicated that participants’ interest and motivation could be sustained with appropriate supports. Change scores indicated greater improvement in the intervention group compared to the waitlist-control on ADHD symptoms as measured on the ADHD rating scale; no significant differences were observed on social deficits on the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS). Pooled data suggests that pre-post improvements could be maintained. Conclusions Findings indicate the BCI-based program is tolerable for most participants. Positive effects were also reported for ADHD symptoms. A future large clinical trial will incorporate appropriate controls to ascertain the efficacy of our training programme.

Caregiver- and Child-Reported Anxiety Using an Autism-Specific Measure: Measurement Properties and Correlates of the Anxiety Scale for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASC-ASD) in Verbal Young People with ASD / Chui Pin SOH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 51-8 (August 2021)

The present study investigated the use of the Anxiety Scale for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASC-ASD), a self- and caregiver-rated screening tool in a Singaporean sample of ninety-one verbal autistic youths and their caregivers. Internal consistency ranged from satisfactory to desirable (α = .74-.92). Convergent validity with medium-large effect size was established using a structured diagnostic interview, the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Children and Adolescents (MINI-KID). ASC-ASD scores were positively associated with autistic symptoms and response patterns indicated strong endorsement of autism-specific items. The findings are discussed in relation to existing literature on assessment of anxiety in ASD and in light of the study's strengths and limitations.

DSM-IV-TR performed slightly better, yielding sensitivity of 0.946 and specificity of 0.889, compared to DSM-5 (sensitivity = 0.837; specificity = 0.833). When considering the ASD sub-categories, sensitivity ranged from 0.667 to 0.933, and specificity ranged from 0.900 to 0.975. More participants with a PDD-NOS best estimate clinical diagnosis (40%) were misclassified on DSM-5. Merits and weaknesses to both classification systems, and implications for access to services and policy changes are discussed.

Parents of children with ASD reported significantly more parenting stress symptoms (i.e., negative parental self-views, lower satisfaction with parent–child bond, and experiences of difficult child behaviors), more depression symptoms, and more frequent use of Active Avoidance coping, than parents of typically developing children. Parents of children with ASD did not differ significantly in psychological well-being and coping when compared as according to child’s diagnosis.
