In all, 54 youth (7–17?years; IQ: 67–158) with autism spectrum disorder and their parents completed (a) an expanded version of the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule—Child/Parent designed to capture typical and atypical fears and (b) brief scales of anxiety symptoms (Behavior Assessment Schedule for Children, Second Edition; Screen for Child Anxiety and Related Emotional Disorders; Negative Affective Self-Statement Questionnaire; Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale). The results indicate that measures lacked adequate sensitivity and specificity, and the detection of atypical fears was particularly poor. Revised cut scores are offered, but refined and/or revised instruments are likely needed for research on youth with autism spectrum disorder.

Brief report: Measures of effectiveness for single-question sleep problem screeners in children with autism spectrum disorder / Alison R. MARVIN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 80 (February 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 80 (February 2021) . - p.101699 Titre : Brief report: Measures of effectiveness for single-question sleep problem screeners in children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Alison R. MARVIN, Auteur ; Daniel L. COURY, Auteur ; Beth A. MALOW, Auteur ; J. Kiely LAW, Auteur ; Amanda E. BENNETT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101699 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Sleep  Composite Sleep Disturbance Index  Screening  Primary care  Psychometrics Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Although screening for sleep problems in children with ASD is recommended, primary care providers generally ask parents a single, high-level screening question about their child’s sleep. Can this capture whether a child has severe sleep problems? Method Parents of children with ASD ages 3–17 years recruited from a validated and verified US-based autism research registry completed an online survey on co-occurring conditions, including “degree of sleep problems”. The Composite Sleep Disturbance Index (CSDI) and its question on “parent satisfaction with current sleep pattern” were also incorporated. Results 610 parent/child dyads were analyzed. 377 (62%) children had severe sleep problems per CSDI; 215 (57%) were parent-rated with Moderate/Severe sleep problems. 219 (93%) of 233 children without a severe sleep problem on CSDI were parent-rated as having None/Mild sleep problems. 94% with Moderate/Severe sleep problems per parents had severe sleep problems per CSDI. However, 15% of those whose parents rated as None had a severe sleep problem. 200 (33%) children had a Mild sleep problem rating; of these, 134 (67%) had CSDI severe sleep problem and 66 (33%) did not. Conclusions A single question about sleep was good at classifying severe vs. non-severe sleep problems in children with ASD, especially with extreme responses. However, a single question was poor at classifying intermediate/non-extreme responses, and a significant number of children with severe sleep problems were missed. Screening with a short, validated questionnaire or asking more probing questions would assist in diagnosing most children with sleep problems. Parents may benefit from sleep education.

Correlates of adaptive behavior profiles in a large cohort of children with autism: The autism speaks Autism Treatment Network registry data / M. PATHAK in Autism, 23-1 (January 2019)

This study examines the adaptive behavior, its association with cognitive ability, gender, age, and symptom severity in children with autism spectrum disorder. Using data from Autism Treatment Network registry, the adaptive behavior profiles were examined in 2538 school-aged children (between 5 and 17 years, mean: 8.8 years, standard deviation: 3.0) who had an overall intelligence quotient and Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale scores available. The children were grouped according to their intelligence quotient (low intelligence quotient < 70; borderline intelligence quotient = 70-85; average intelligence quotient > 85), age (5-10 and 11-17 years), and gender for the analyses. Significantly lower Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale scores were found in borderline and average intelligence quotient groups when compared to mean intelligence quotient, while an opposite pattern was seen in the low intelligence quotient group, with better adaptive behavior scores than mean intelligence quotient. Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale standard scores were positively correlated with intelligence quotient and poorly associated with autism spectrum disorder severity. Younger children had significantly higher Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale scores. Adjusted comparisons by gender were not significant. Adaptive behavior profiles in the intelligence quotient categories are discussed. This study confirms a positive relationship between adaptive behavior and intellectual function in autism and indicates that children with higher intelligence quotient and older age are specifically impaired, with lower adaptive behavior, highlighting the need for assessment and targeted intervention in these groups. Future directions for research are discussed.

A mixed-methods process evaluation of Family Navigation implementation for autism spectrum disorder / Sarabeth BRODER-FINGERT in Autism, 23-5 (July 2019)

The aim of this study was to identify potential failures in implementing Family Navigation for children with autism spectrum disorder, using a failure modes and effects analysis. This mixed-methods study was set within a randomized controlled trial testing the effectiveness of Family Navigation in reducing the time from screening to diagnosis and treatment for autism spectrum disorder across three states. Using standard failure modes and effects analysis methodology, experts in Family Navigation for autism spectrum disorder (n = 9) rated potential failures in implementation on a 10-point scale in three categories: likelihood of the failure occurring, likelihood of not detecting the failure, and severity of failure. Ratings were then used to create a risk priority number for each failure. The failure modes and effects analysis detected five areas for potential "high priority" failures in implementation: (1) setting up community-based services, (2) initial family meeting, (3) training, (4) fidelity monitoring, and (5) attending testing appointments. Reasons for failure included families not receptive, scheduling, and insufficient training time. The process with the highest risk profile was "setting up community-based services." Failure in "attending testing appointment" was rated as the most severe potential failure. A number of potential failures in Family Navigation implementation-along with strategies for mitigation-were identified. These data can guide those working to implement Family Navigation for children with autism spectrum disorder.

Few studies have systematically assessed the resting physiological activity in ASD with co-occurring anxiety disorders. We tested 75 participants divided in four groups: youth with ASD, with (ASD?+?Anxiety?=?22, 6F, 12.29 ± 2.83 years old) and without co-occurring anxiety (ASD Alone?=?15, 6F, 11.59 ± 2.85 years old) and compared their physiological profile with that of matched typically developing controls (TDC) with (Anxiety Alone?=?16, 6F, 11.24 ± 3.36 years old) and without co-occurring anxiety disorders (TDC?=?22, 8F, 11.88 ± 2.88 years old). Results indicated reduced sympathetic and parasympathetic activity at rest in ASD as compared to TDC youth. ASD?+?Anxiety and Anxiety Alone groups showed different sympathetic, but similar parasympathetic activity. These findings suggest that autonomic profile-based approaches may advance research, diagnosis, and treatment of ASD and anxiety.
