Adding the missing voice: How self-report of autistic youth self-report on an executive functioning rating scale compares to parent report and that of youth with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or neurotypical development / Lauren KENWORTHY in Autism, 26-2 (February 2022)

Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Executive functions are often impaired in autistic people and relate to important outcomes such as mental health, success in school and work, and quality of life. Evaluating executive functions helps autistic people, clinicians, and families identify targets for external supports and skill building. Youth self-report of executive function has not been studied, yet we know that self-report from autistic youth is key to understanding other cognitive/behavioral phenomena in autism such as anxiety, obsessions/compulsions, sensory sensitivities, and repetitive behaviors. We investigated self- and parent-report of executive function problems in 197 autistic youth without intellectual disability (ages 11-18 years), including the magnitude and profiles of executive function problems autistic youth report across subdomains of executive function. We compared autistic self-report with that of 114 youth with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder without intellectual disability and 197 neurotypical youth. We found that autistic youth report significant executive function problems compared to neurotypical youth and a distinctive profile of challenges in comparison to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder youth. Parents and their autistic children diverged regarding the magnitude of the youth's executive function difficulties, but both identify inflexibility as the most impaired executive function subdomain. Autistic youth and their parents were somewhat more concordant in their report of executive function problems than youth with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and their parents, but only showed moderate concordance at best. These findings elevate the importance of asking autistic youth directly about their executive functioning when engaging them in assessment and intervention, or researching executive functions in autism.

Anxiety relates to classroom executive function problems in students with ASD, but not ADHD / Mary F.S. DIECKHAUS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 82 (April 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 82 (April 2021) . - 101739 Titre : Anxiety relates to classroom executive function problems in students with ASD, but not ADHD Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Mary F.S.

PUGLIESE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101739 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder  Anxiety  Executive function  Flexibility Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Anxiety occurs at elevated rates in developmental disorders and has been linked to executive functioning (EF) deficits. EF is strongly related to academic outcomes, but the relationship between anxiety and EF in the classroom has not been examined. Method We explored this relationship in two neurodevelopmental disorders, autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), in order to evaluate the specificity of associations between parent-reported anxiety and teacher-reported EF deficits in the classroom setting. Results Greater anxiety was associated with more classroom EF-related problems in the ASD group, but not in the ADHD group. Item-level analysis of classroom EF problems in the ASD group revealed associations between anxiety and difficulties with task initiation, attention, and completion. Anxiety was not related to total or item-level teacher-reported EF problems in the ADHD group. Conclusion Further investigation into disorder-specific mechanisms that lead to the manifestation of anxiety symptoms may pave the way for more effective treatment and favorable academic outcome. Anxiety is related to poor EF in the classroom for students with ASD, which has implications for treating anxiety to promote positive academic outcomes and incorporating EF supports and training into treatment models for anxiety. The lack of association between anxiety and EF for students with ADHD was unexpected and warrants further exploration.

Characterizing the Factor Structure of Parent Reported Executive Function in Autism Spectrum Disorders: The Impact of Cognitive Inflexibility / Yael GRANADER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-12 (December 2014)

This study investigates the factor structure of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) as reported by parents of children with ASD and typically developing children (TDC). BRIEFs for 411 children with ASD and 467 TDC were examined. Confirmatory factor analysis of a nine-factor model met thresholds for goodness-of-fit in TDC, but not in the ASD sample. We found globally elevated EF problems in the ASD sample, especially on the Shift scale. These findings confirm that children with ASD exhibit significant EF deficits. Further investigation is needed to understand the pervasive nature of cognitive inflexibility in children with ASD.

The Flexibility Scale: Development and Preliminary Validation of a Cognitive Flexibility Measure in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders / John F. STRANG in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-8 (August 2017)

However, existing informant reports do not densely sample cognitive aspects of flexibility; the Flexibility Scale (FS) was developed to address this gap. This study investigates the validity of the FS in 221 youth with ASD and 57 typically developing children. Exploratory factor analysis indicates a five-factor scale: Routines/rituals, transitions/change, special interests, social flexibility, and generativity. The FS demonstrated convergent and divergent validity with comparative domains of function in other measures, save for the Generativity factor. The FS discriminated participants with ASD and controls. Thus, this study suggests the FS may be a viable, comprehensive measure of flexibility in everyday settings.
