The study was designed to compare ASD prevalence in Somali children (ages 7–9) to that of non-Somali children. The study adapted methodology used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network. Results indicated that Somali (1 in 32) and White (1 in 36) children were about equally likely to be identified with ASD, but more likely to be identified with ASD than Black and Hispanic children. Somali children with ASD were significantly more likely to have an intellectual disability than children with ASD in all other racial and ethnic groups.

DSM-5 based algorithms for the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised for children ages 4-17?years / Linnea A. LAMPINEN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 66-9 (September 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 66-9 (September 2025) . - p.1403-1413 Titre : DSM-5 based algorithms for the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised for children ages 4-17?years Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Linnea A.

BISHOP, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1403-1413 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  autism spectrum disorder  ADI-R  diagnosis  sensitivity  specificity  diagnostic instruments Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The Autism Diagnostic Interview, Revised (ADI-R) is a caregiver interview that is widely used as part of the diagnostic assessment for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Few large-scale studies have reported the sensitivity and specificity of the ADI-R algorithms, which are based on DSM-IV Autistic Disorder criteria. Kim and Lord (Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2012, 42, 82) developed revised DSM-5-based toddler algorithms, which are only applicable to children under 4?years. The current study developed DSM-5-based algorithms for children ages 4?17?years and examined their performance compared to clinical diagnosis and to the original DSM-IV-based algorithms. Methods Participants included 2,905 cases (2,144 ASD, 761 non-ASD) from clinical-research databanks. Children were clinically referred for ASD-related concerns or recruited for ASD-focused research projects, and their caregivers completed the ADI-R as part of a comprehensive diagnostic assessment. Items relevant to DSM-5 ASD criteria were selected for the new algorithms primarily based on their ability to discriminate ASD from non-ASD cases. Algorithms were created for individuals with and without reported use of phrase speech. Confirmatory factor analysis tested the fit of a DSM-5-based two-factor structure. ROC curve analyses examined the diagnostic accuracy of the revised algorithms compared to clinical diagnosis. Results The two-factor structure of the revised ADI-R algorithms showed adequate fit. Sensitivity of the original ADI-R algorithm ranged from 74% to 96%, and specificity ranged from 38% to 83%. The revised DSM-5-based algorithms performed similarly or better, with sensitivity ranging from 77% to 99% and specificity ranging from 71% to 92%. Conclusions In this large sample aggregated from US clinical-research sites, the original ADI-R algorithm showed adequate diagnostic validity, with poorer specificity among individuals without phrase speech. The revised DSM-5-based algorithms introduced here performed comparably to the original algorithms, with improved specificity in individuals without phrase speech. These revised algorithms offer an alternative method for summarizing ASD symptoms in a DSM-5-compatible manner.

Patterns of Special Education Eligibility and Age of First Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Identification Among US Children with ASD / Amy N. ESLER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-5 (May 2023)

The study also examined type of ASD symptoms noted within special education evaluations. Results indicated that children with records from only education sources had a median time to identification of ASD over a year later than children with records from health sources. Black children were more likely than White children to have records from only education sources. Restricted and repetitive behaviors were less frequently documented in educational evaluations resulting in developmental delay eligibility compared to specific ASD eligibility among children with ASD. Future research could explore strategies reduce age of identification in educational settings and increase equitable access to health evaluations.

Phenotypic Characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder in a Diverse Sample of Somali and Other Children / Amy N. ESLER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-10 (October 2017)

This study examined differences across racial/ethnic groups in ASD symptoms, cognitive and adaptive skills, and related behaviors in children with ASD that included a unique subgroup, children from the Somali diaspora. Somali children were more likely to have ASD with intellectual disability than children from all other racial/ethnic groups. Few differences were found in the presence of specific symptoms and behaviors across groups once IQ was controlled. Results lend support to previous studies that found higher rates of ASD intellectual disability in children of immigrants from low human resource index countries compared to other groups. Implications for future research are discussed.

Analyses included 388 children with ASD age 12–30 months and were replicated on 435 repeated assessments from 127 children with ASD. Compared to raw scores, associations between total and domain CSS and participant characteristics were reduced in the original sample. Verbal IQ effects on Social Affect-CSS were not reduced in the replication sample. Toddler Module CSS increases comparability of ADOS-2 scores across modules and allows studies of symptom trajectories to extend to earlier ages.
