Atypical communication characteristics among clinic-referred youth with and without autism spectrum disorder: Stability and associations with clinical correlates / Erin KANG in Development and Psychopathology, 32-4 (October 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 32-4 (October 2020) . - p.1240-1253 Titre : Atypical communication characteristics among clinic-referred youth with and without autism spectrum disorder: Stability and associations with clinical correlates Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Erin KANG, Auteur ; Matthew D LERNER, Auteur ; Kenneth D GADOW, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1240-1253 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : atypical communication characteristics (ACC)  autism spectrum disorder (ASD)  comorbidity  latent class analysis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Atypical communication characteristics (ACCs), such as speech delay, odd pitch, and pragmatic difficulties, are common features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as are the symptoms of a wide range of psychiatric disorders. Using a simple retrospective method, this study aimed to better understand the relation and stability of ACCs with a broad range of psychiatric symptoms among large, well-characterized samples of clinic-referred children and adolescents with and without ASD. Youth with ASD had higher rates and a more variable pattern of developmental change in ACCs than the non-ASD diagnostic group. Latent class analysis yielded three ACC stability subgroups within ASD: Stable ACCs, Mostly Current-Only ACCs, and Little Professors. Subgroups exhibited differences in severity of ASD symptomatology, co-occurring psychiatric symptoms, and other correlates. Our findings provide support for the clinical utility of characterizing caregiver-perceived changes in ACCs in identifying children at risk for co-occurring psychopathology and other clinically relevant variables.

Emotion dysregulation in autism: A meta-analysis / Mary Isaac CARGILL ; Sadaf KHAWAR ; Erin KANG in Autism, 28-12 (December 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 28-12 (December 2024) . - p.2986-3001 Titre : Emotion dysregulation in autism: A meta-analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mary Isaac CARGILL, Auteur ; Sadaf KHAWAR, Auteur ; Erin KANG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2986-3001 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescents  adults  autism spectrum disorders  psychiatric comorbidity  psychological theories of autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism is associated with significantly higher rates of internalizing and externalizing disorders compared to neurotypical (NT) individuals. Emotion dysregulation (ED) is prevalent in autistic individuals and has been proposed to underlie both internalizing disorders and behavioral challenges in autism. This study sought to use a meta-analytic approach to examine the magnitude of ED severity in autistic samples compared to NT and other clinical (OC) samples. Following a review of the literature, a total of 35 studies were included in the analyses. In general, when comparing autistic to non-autistic individuals, findings suggest a medium magnitude of difference in ED severity between autistic and comparison groups overall. Subgroup analyses indicate that autistic individuals experience significantly higher ED severity when compared to NT peers. However, when compared to OC peers, the effect is small, suggesting the severity of ED may be more similar between OC and autistic groups. Moderators were also explored, including autistic traits, age, and sex composition. These findings provide integral information about the severity of ED in autistic populations compared to other non-autistic populations, assisting in further clarifying the presence of mental health challenges in autistic youth. Lay Abstract Autistic people often experience other mental health challenges, which makes it particularly important to understand factors that may contribute to the development of these conditions. Emotion dysregulation, or difficulties in effectively regulating one?s own emotions in response to a changing environment, is one factor that is experienced frequently by autistic and non-autistic people and is commonly related to a wide range of mental health conditions. This article represents a quantitative synthesis of the current state of the literature on emotion dysregulation, with a specific focus on how the severity of emotion dysregulation differs across autistic and non-autistic people across the lifespan. The findings suggest elevated emotion dysregulation in autistic individuals compared to both neurotypical and other clinical populations and provide insights into the experiences of emotion dysregulation in autistic people. Overall, this article underscores the importance of more research into emotion dysregulation in autistic people to inform areas of challenges related to emotion dysregulation that can be used to better inform treatment targets.

Parent- and Self-Reported Social Skills Importance in Autism Spectrum Disorder / James A. RANKIN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-1 (January 2016)

Seventy-four parents and their children with ASD rated social skills importance and severity, as well as ASD-specific deficit severity. Parents and youth rated social skills as important overall; however, parents reported assertion and self-control to be more important than their children did. Severity and importance did not correlate overall. However, parent-report of responsibility deficits and importance were positively correlated, while youth-report of assertiveness deficits and importance were negatively correlated. Finally, ASD-specific social deficits were positively correlated with parent reported importance, but negatively correlated with child reported importance. Social skills importance ratings merit consideration in ASD assessment.

Predictors of Treatment Response to a Community-Delivered Group Social Skills Intervention for Youth with ASD / Alan H. GERBER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-10 (October 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 53-10 (October 2023) . - p.3741-3754 Titre : Predictors of Treatment Response to a Community-Delivered Group Social Skills Intervention for Youth with ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Alan H. GERBER, Auteur ; Erin KANG, Auteur ; Allison S. NAHMIAS, Auteur ; Erin J. LIBSACK, Auteur ; Caitlin SIMSON, Auteur ; Matthew D. LERNER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3741-3754 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Group social skills interventions (GSSIs) are among the most commonly used treatments for improving social competence in youth with ASD, however, results remain variable. The current study examined predictors of treatment response to an empirically-supported GSSI for youth with ASD delivered in the community (Ntotal=75). Participants completed a computer-based emotion recognition task and their parents completed measures of broad psychopathology, ASD symptomatology, and social skills. We utilized generalized estimating equations in an ANCOVA-of-change framework to account for nesting. Results indicate differential improvements in emotion recognition by sex as well as ADHD-specific improvements in adaptive functioning. Youth with both co-occurring anxiety and ADHD experienced iatrogenic effects, suggesting that SDARI may be most effective for youth with ASD without multiple co-occurring issues. Findings provide important directions for addressing variability in treatment outcomes for youth with ASD.
