Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test a model of the relationships among constructs of interest and structured means analysis was used to test for mean group differences on these constructs. Results indicated that individuals with ASD had lower levels of Social Determination and Friendships than individuals with other developmental disabilities. SEM analyses yielded significant relationships between constructs. Results provide insight with regards to novel statistical, theoretical, and practical approaches to the study of social outcomes for individuals with ASD.

Severity of Autism Spectrum Disorders: Current Conceptualization, and Transition to DSM-5 / Margaret H. MEHLING in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-6 (June 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 46-6 (June 2016) . - p.2000-2016 Titre : Severity of Autism Spectrum Disorders: Current Conceptualization, and Transition to DSM-5 Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Margaret H. MEHLING, Auteur ; Marc J. TASSE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2000-2016 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  DSM-5  Severity  Diagnostic modifier  Assessment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Mirroring the evolution of the conceptualization of autism has been changes in the diagnostic process, including the most recent revisions to the DSM-5 and the addition of severity-based diagnostic modifiers assigned on the basis of intensity of needed supports. A review of recent literature indicates that in research stratifying individuals on the basis of autism severity, core ASD symptomology is the primary consideration. This conceptualization is disparate from the conceptualization put forth in DSM-5 in which severity determination is based on level of needed support, which is also impacted by cognitive, language, behavioral, and adaptive functioning. This paper reviews literature in this area and discusses possible instruments that may be useful to inform clinical judgment in determining ASD severity levels.

Shakespeare and Autism: A Pilot Study Examining the Treatment Effects and Predictors of Treatment Response of the Hunter Heartbeat Method / Margaret H. MEHLING in Autism - Open Access, 7-5 ([01/10/2017])  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism - Open Access > 7-5 [01/10/2017] . - 9 p. Titre : Shakespeare and Autism: A Pilot Study Examining the Treatment Effects and Predictors of Treatment Response of the Hunter Heartbeat Method Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Margaret H. MEHLING, Auteur ; Marc J. TASSE, Auteur ; Rebecca R. ANDRIDGE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 9 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Intervention  Social skills  Drama-based  Hunter heartbeat method  Shakespeare Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This pilot study was designed to explore the potential impact of participation in the Hunter Heartbeat Method, adrama-based social skills intervention, on the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A sample of 10children with ASD participated in this study. Children were assessed at three time-points: before the start of the intervention (T1), after 14 weeks of participation (T2) and after 42 weeks of participation (T3). Findings from this pilot study indicated that the Hunter Heartbeat Method (HHM) is an intervention that shows promise in impacting social, communication and facial emotion recognition deficits associated with ASD. We also identified the individual characteristics of the participants who were responders and non-responders to the HHM intervention. The results of these findings are discussed.
