Age differences in broader autism phenotype traits from young adulthood to older adulthood / William J. CHOPIK in Autism Research, 14-7 (July 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-7 (July 2021) . - p.1456-1471 Titre : Age differences in broader autism phenotype traits from young adulthood to older adulthood Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : William J. CHOPIK, Auteur ; Jeewon OH, Auteur ; Amy K. NUTTALL, Auteur ; Katharine N. THAKKAR, Auteur ; Brooke R. INGERSOLL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1456-1471 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adult  Aged  Autism Spectrum Disorder  Autistic Disorder  Cross-Sectional Studies  Female  Humans  Male  Middle Aged  Phenotype  Surveys and Questionnaires  Young Adult  age differences  autism spectrum disorders  broader autism phenotype  lifespan development  personality Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Much of past research has been dedicated to refining the operationalization and correlates of the broader autism phenotype (BAP) and less on how the BAP differs by socio-demographic characteristics, like age-particularly after midlife. This gap is important because other nonclinical trait-like characteristics (e.g., personality) have shown considerable age differences, leading to work assessing the malleability of psychological characteristics and improving outcomes for individuals and their significant others. In the current study, we examined cross-sectional age differences in the BAP in a large sample of adults ranging in age from 18 to 85. We recruited a sample of 2966 adults ranging in age from 18 to 85 (M(age) = 36.53, SD = 12.61; 58.9% Female; 1.1% with an ASD diagnosis) recruited from an online survey service. We found that total BAP scores were higher in younger adults and lower among older adults. These differences were particularly true for pragmatic language difficulties, with this component of the BAP showing the most dramatic age differences. Aloofness showed similar negative associations with age, albeit much smaller. Rigidity was not significantly associated with age. The results are consistent with other research showing an abatement of symptoms among individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) across early life and theories predicting changes in other psychological characteristics (e.g., personality). The results are discussed in the context of the malleability of ASD and BAP traits across life, the clinical implications of these changes, and the origins and consequences for lifespan differences in BAP. LAY SUMMARY: Little is known about how subclinical autistic-like traits among middle-aged and older adults compare to younger adults. We found that these subclinical traits were highest in young adults and lowest in older adults. Knowing how these traits differ by age can provide researchers and clinicians with a sense of how much these traits might change across life, if the traits might be sensitive to interventions, and when in development it might be best to intervene.

Childhood Caregiving Roles, Perceptions of Benefits, and Future Caregiving Intentions Among Typically Developing Adult Siblings of Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Amy K. NUTTALL in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-4 (April 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 48-4 (April 2018) . - p.1199-1209 Titre : Childhood Caregiving Roles, Perceptions of Benefits, and Future Caregiving Intentions Among Typically Developing Adult Siblings of Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Amy K.

DIESEL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1199-1209 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Benefit-finding  Caregiving  Family obligation  Parentification  Parent-child relationships  Sibling relationships Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Typically developing siblings (TDS) of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) frequently serve as caregivers during childhood, known as parentification, and primary caregivers for siblings in adulthood. In order to evaluate mechanisms linking these roles, we surveyed emerging-adult TDS (N = 108) about childhood parentification roles caring for parents and siblings, current perceptions of benefits associated with ASD and with engaging in parentification, and intention to provide future caregiving. We hypothesized that parent-focused parentification would negatively impact caregiving intention via perception of decreased benefits whereas sibling-focused parentification would positively impact intention via perception of increased benefits. Results indicate that parent-focused parentification is common and associated with fewer perceived benefits of caregiving and less intention to provide future caregiving. Prevention implications are discussed.

Maternal elaborative reminiscing mediates the effect of child maltreatment on behavioral and physiological functioning / Kristin VALENTINO in Development and Psychopathology, 27-4 (Part 2) (November 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 27-4 (Part 2) (November 2015) . - p.1515-1526 Titre : Maternal elaborative reminiscing mediates the effect of child maltreatment on behavioral and physiological functioning Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kristin VALENTINO, Auteur ; Leah C. HIBEL, Auteur ; E. Mark CUMMINGS, Auteur ; Amy K. NUTTALL, Auteur ; Michelle COMAS, Auteur ; Christina G. MCDONNELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1515-1526 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Theoretical and empirical evidence suggest that the way in which parents discuss everyday emotional experiences with their young children (i.e., elaborative reminiscing) has significant implications for child cognitive and socioemotional functioning, and that maltreating parents have a particularly difficult time in engaging in this type of dialogue. This dyadic interactional exchange, therefore, has the potential to be an important process variable linking child maltreatment to developmental outcomes at multiple levels of analysis. The current investigation evaluated the role of maternal elaborative reminiscing in associations between maltreatment and child cognitive, emotional, and physiological functioning. Participants included 43 maltreated and 49 nonmaltreated children (aged 3–6) and their mothers. Dyads participated in a joint reminiscing task about four past emotional events, and children participated in assessments of receptive language and emotion knowledge. Child salivary cortisol was also collected from children three times a day (waking, midday, and bedtime) on 2 consecutive days to assess daily levels and diurnal decline. Results indicated that maltreating mothers engaged in significantly less elaborative reminiscing than did nonmaltreating mothers. Maternal elaborative reminiscing mediated associations between child maltreatment and child receptive language and child emotion knowledge. In addition, there was support for an indirect pathway between child maltreatment and child cortisol diurnal decline through maternal elaborative reminiscing. Directions for future research are discussed, and potential clinical implications are addressed.
