Anxiety in Asperger’s syndrome: Assessment in real time / Dougal J. HARE in Autism, 19-5 (July 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 19-5 (July 2015) . - p.542-552 Titre : Anxiety in Asperger’s syndrome: Assessment in real time Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Dougal J. HARE, Auteur ; Christopher WOOD, Auteur ; Sarah WASTELL, Auteur ; Paul SKIRROW, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.542-552 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : anxiety  Asperger’s syndrome  cognitive processes  experience sampling methodology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Anxiety is a major problem for many people with Asperger’s syndrome who may have qualitatively different fears from a non-Asperger’s syndrome population. Research has relied on measures developed for non-Asperger’s syndrome populations that require reporting past experiences of anxiety, which may confound assessment in people with Asperger’s syndrome due to problems with autobiographical memory as are often reported in this group.Experience sampling methodology was used to record real-time everyday experiences in 20 adults with Asperger’s syndrome and 20 neurotypical adults. Within-subject analysis was used to explore the phenomenology of thoughts occurring in people with Asperger’s syndrome when they were anxious. Comparisons were made with the group that did not have Asperger’s syndrome. The Asperger’s syndrome group were significantly more anxious than the comparison group. Factors associated with feelings of anxiety in the Asperger’s syndrome group were high levels of self-focus, worries about everyday events and periods of rumination lasting over 10 min. People in the Asperger’s syndrome group also had a tendency to think in the image form, but this was not associated with feelings of anxiety. The results are discussed with reference to psychological models of Asperger’s syndrome, cognitive models of anxiety and implications for psychological therapy for this group.

A Systematic Review of Interventions Used to Treat Catatonic Symptoms in People with Autistic Spectrum Disorders / Hannah DEJONG in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-9 (September 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 44-9 (September 2014) . - p.2127-2136 Titre : A Systematic Review of Interventions Used to Treat Catatonic Symptoms in People with Autistic Spectrum Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Hannah DEJONG, Auteur ; Penny BUNTON, Auteur ; Dougal J. HARE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2127-2136 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic spectrum disorders  Catatonia  Electroconvulsive therapy  Behavioural therapy Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A systematic review was conducted to examine the efficacy of a range of treatments for autistic catatonia. The review identified 22 relevant papers, reporting a total of 28 cases including both adult and paediatric patients. Treatment methods included electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), medication, behavioural and sensory interventions. Quality assessment found the standard of the existing literature to be generally poor, with particular limitations in treatment description and outcome measurement. There is some limited evidence to support the use of ECT, high dose lorazepam and behavioural interventions for people with autistic catatonia. However, there is a need for controlled, high-quality trials. Reporting of side effects and adverse events should also be improved, in order to better evaluate the safety of these treatments.
