Language delays are characteristic of children developing with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We measured how infants at risk for ASD, control infants, and infants who later reached ASD criterion scanned facial features. Development differed across groups. The preference for the eyes region decreased with age in infants who were at risk of ASD. For the control group the change in feature preference was marginally significant for a quadratic model, reflecting a decrease in the preference for eyes at 9 months followed by a recovery. The infants who later reached ASD criterion did not show a significant change across time.

A coping subscale for autistic children: Revisiting the dimensionality of the emotion regulation and social skills questionnaire / Karen R. BLACK in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 105 (July 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 105 (July 2023) . - 102167 Titre : A coping subscale for autistic children: Revisiting the dimensionality of the emotion regulation and social skills questionnaire Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Karen R. BLACK, Auteur ; Meng-Chuan LAI, Auteur ; Mary E. DESROCHER, Auteur ; Vivian LEE, Auteur ; Teresa SELLITTO, Auteur ; Nisha VASHI, Auteur ; Jonathan A. WEISS, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102167 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Child  Coping  Emotion Regulation  Social Communication  Depression Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autistic children often struggle with emotion regulation and social interaction. Brief measures of a child?s coping skill needs are valuable in community mental health settings, where time and resources are limited. However, the construct of coping is often not clearly defined and varies widely within emotion regulation measures, limiting clinical utility. This study aimed to clarify the dimensionality of the Emotion Regulation and Social Skills Questionnaire - Parent (ERSSQ-P), a single-factor, parent report measure developed to assess social-emotional competence in autistic children. Method/Results Exploratory Item Factor Analysis was conducted with a multi-site, pre-treatment sample of parent-reported data for 186 autistic children (Mage = 9.77 years, SD = 1.32). A three-factor solution was identified as the most appropriate fit, across domains of emotion regulation (Coping: a child?s ability to modulate distressing feelings in stressful contexts) and social competence (Initiating: ability to appropriately initiate interactions with other children; Interacting: overall ability to engage in and maintain social interactions). Sum score internal consistency was good for Coping and Initiating (? = .84/? = .84; ? = .87/? = .90), and acceptable for Interacting (? = .75/? = .73). Validity for the subscales was confirmed based on associations with measures of emotion regulation, depression and social communication. Conclusions The revised structure of the ERSSQ-P targets separate areas where strengths and needs may occur for autistic children, with the potential to assist clinicians to improve assessment and treatment tailoring to meet the specific emotional, social and behavioral needs of children in their care.

Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) that targets children's emotion regulation may have an indirect influence on parent outcomes, especially if they play a supporting role in their child's intervention. However, most CBT interventions have been carried out in highly controlled research settings and there are a few studies that examined parental outcomes after participating in autistic child-focused CBT within a community setting. The current study examined parent outcomes (i.e., mental health problems, mindful parenting, and parenting practices) following a community-based CBT program with concurrent parent involvement for autistic children, as well as associations between changes in parent and child outcomes (i.e., autism symptoms and emotion dysregulation). Participants included 77 parent?child dyads across seven community organizations in Ontario, Canada. Parents reported improved mindful parenting and positive parenting practices post-intervention, and no significant changes in their mental health. Multiple mediation analyses revealed that positive changes in parent outcomes (i.e., mindful parenting and parenting practices) were associated with positive changes in child emotion regulation. These positive changes in parenting practices mediated the relationship between mindful parenting and child emotion regulation. Results suggest that participating in community-based CBT is mutually beneficial for autistic children and their parents, particularly in improving parenting behaviors.

Predictors of Changes in Daily Activity in Transition-Age Autistic Youth / Jonathan A WEISS in Autism Research, 14-2 (February 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-2 (February 2021) . - p.324-332 Titre : Predictors of Changes in Daily Activity in Transition-Age Autistic Youth Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jonathan A WEISS, Auteur ; Jonathan K. Y. LAI, Auteur ; Vivian LEE, Auteur ; Yona LUNSKY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.324-332 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adulthood  autism  community  employment  schooling  services  transition-age youth Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Transitioning into adulthood is fraught with challenges for autistic youth. A greater understanding of the facilitators of community involvement in school and employment during this period is warranted. The current study examines changes in service need and receipt, and the stability of accessing daily structured activities, for autistic young adults over their transition period compared to adolescents and adults that did not enter the transition period. Baseline caregiver survey data were taken from the Canadian Autism Spectrum Disorders Alliance National Autism Needs Assessment Survey in 2014, and caregivers (n = 304) completed the same set of questions in 2017 about sociodemographic factors, clinical need, service receipt and typical weekday activities. Three cohorts were compared: (1) pretransition age youth, (2) transition-age youth, and (3) young adults who were past transition age. Results suggest that transition-age youth were found to have a unique set of priority service needs compared to pre transition-age adolescent and to adult groups, and both transition-age and adult groups had lower levels of priority service receipt compared to pretransition-age adolescents. The transition-age group experienced the greatest loss of structured weekday activity between time points, and were more likely than pretransition-age adolescents to not have structured weekday activities at Time 2. A recovery of structured daily activity was not observed in young adults. Our results highlight the tumultuous nature of the transition period for autistic youth, which continues into adulthood, and the urgent need for supports during this time. LAY SUMMARY: This research highlights that autistic young people who are transitioning to adulthood are at greatest risk of losing structured weekday activities, and that once in adulthood, many continue to struggle to obtain meaningful community engagement. These results can help guide the design of adolescent and young adult transition programs.

Temperament influences the relationship between symptom severity and adaptive functioning in children with autism spectrum disorder / Vivian LEE in Autism, 24-8 (November 2020)

Children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder are often characterized as having 'reactive' and 'negative' temperaments when compared to same-aged peers with or without disabilities, which can negatively impact the development of adaptive functioning skills but little is known about variations of temperament between individual children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. This study aimed to (a) explore the variation of individual temperament traits within a sample of school-aged children with autism spectrum disorder to determine whether subgroups with similar trait profiles emerge and (b) examine whether temperament influences the relationship between autism symptoms and adaptive functioning outcomes. Results from our dataset suggest that children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder fit under two profiles: 'even' and 'reactive'. Furthermore, our analysis shows that temperament can influence the impact of increasing symptom severity on adaptive functioning skills in children with autism spectrum disorder. Study findings highlight the importance of considering temperament when trying to understand the individual differences that influence the development of functioning and developmental outcomes in children with autism spectrum disorder.
