Exploring Social Subtypes in Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Preliminary Study / Mirko ULJAREVIC in Autism Research, 13-8 (August 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 13-8 (August 2020) . - p.1335-1342 Titre : Exploring Social Subtypes in Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Preliminary Study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mirko ULJAREVIC, Auteur ; Jennifer M.

LIBOVE, Auteur ; Thomas W FRAZIER, Auteur ; Antonio Y. HARDAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1335-1342 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  individual differences  social motivation  social processing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Impairments in social functioning are considered a hallmark diagnostic feature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Yet, individuals diagnosed with ASD vary widely with respect to specific presentation, severity, and course across different dimensions of this complex symptom domain. The aim of this investigation was to utilize the Stanford Social Dimensions Scale (SSDS), a newly developed quantitative measure providing parental perspective on their child's social abilities, in order to explore the existence of homogeneous subgroups of ASD individuals who share unique profiles across specific dimensions of the social domain. Parents of 164 individuals with ASD (35 females, 129 males; mean(age) = 7.54?years, SD = 3.85) completed the SSDS, the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS-2) and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Data on children's verbal and nonverbal intellectual functioning (FSIQ) were also collected. The Latent Profile Analysis was used to classify participants according to the pattern of SSDS subscale scores (Social Motivation, Social Affiliation, Expressive Social Communication, Social Recognition, and Unusual Approach). Five profiles were identified. Profiles did not differ in terms of chronological age nor gender distribution but showed distinct patterns of strengths and weaknesses across different social components rather than simply reflecting a severity gradient. Profiles were further differentiated in terms of cognitive ability, as well as ASD and internalizing symptom severity. The implications of current findings and the necessary further steps toward identifying subgroups of individuals with ASD who share particular constellation of strengths and weaknesses across key social domains as a way of informing personalized interventions are discussed.

LAY SUMMARY: People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) vary greatly in terms of their social abilities and social motivation. However, researchers lack measures that can fully assess different components of social functioning. This paper provides initial evidence for capturing subgroups of individuals with ASD with specific strengths and weakness across different aspects of social functioning.

Pivotal Response Treatment Parent Training for Autism: Findings from a 3-Month Follow-Up Evaluation / Grace W. GENGOUX in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-9 (September 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 45-9 (September 2015) . - p.2889-2898 Titre : Pivotal Response Treatment Parent Training for Autism: Findings from a 3-Month Follow-Up Evaluation Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Grace W.

HARDAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2889-2898 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Language deficits  Group parent training  Social communication  Cognitive development  Naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study’s objective was to assess maintenance of treatment effects 3 months after completion of a 12-week Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) parent education group. Families who completed the active treatment (N = 23) were followed for an additional 12 weeks to measure changes in language and cognitive skills. Results indicated a significant improvement in frequency of functional utterances, with maintenance at 3-month follow-up [F(2, 21): 5.9, p = .009]. Children also made significant gains on the Vineland Communication Domain Standard Score [F(2, 12):11.74, p = .001] and the Mullen Scales of Early Learning Composite score [F(1, 20) = 5.43, p = .03]. These results suggest that a brief PRT parent group intervention can lead to improvements in language and cognitive functioning that are maintained 12 weeks post treatment.

The Adapted ADOS: A New Module Set for the Assessment of Minimally Verbal Adolescents and Adults / Vanessa H. BAL in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-3 (March 2020)

The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, 2nd Edition (ADOS-2, Lord et al., in Autism diagnostic observation schedule-2nd edition (ADOS-2). Western Psychological Services, Los Angeles, 2012) Modules 1 and 2 were designed and validated with children whose spoken language ranges from few- to- no words to phrase speech. This study describes the development and initial validation of the Adapted-ADOS (A-ADOS), which includes tasks, materials and behavioral codes modified to be suitable for assessing older minimally verbal individuals. A-ADOS algorithms exhibit comparable sensitivity and improved specificity relative to ADOS-2 Modules 1 and 2. Although further validation is needed, the A-ADOS will facilitate research to further understanding of minimally verbal adults and symptom trajectories across the lifespan.
