This study evaluated change in severity of RRBs following a 16-weeks open trial of Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT). Participants included 15 children with ASD ages 4–7 years. RRBs, as measured by the repetitive behavioral scales-revised (RBS-R) and aberrant behaviors checklist, decreased significantly after treatment. These reductions remained significant after controlling for change in social communication skills. PRT shows promise in reducing RRBs; although PRT explicitly addresses pivotal social communication skills, there is a secondary and less direct effect on RRBs.

Enhancing social interactions for youth with autism spectrum disorder through training programs for typically developing peers: A systematic review / Allison M. BIRNSCHEIN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 84 (June 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 84 (June 2021) . - 101784 Titre : Enhancing social interactions for youth with autism spectrum disorder through training programs for typically developing peers: A systematic review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Allison M. BIRNSCHEIN, Auteur ; Courtney A. PAISLEY, Auteur ; Theodore S. TOMENY, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101784 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Anti-stigma training  Autism spectrum disorder  Peers  Social interaction Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) characteristically demonstrate deficits in social communication, making it challenging for children and adolescents with ASD to form and maintain friendships. Widely implemented social skills interventions aim to ameliorate these deficits through explicit instruction. Despite reported gains in social competency, many children with ASD may not successfully generalize learned social skills to interactions outside the interventions. One barrier to generalization may be stigma from typically developing (TD) peers. Specifically, TD peers who could serve as social partners for individuals with ASD often perceive the social behavior of children with ASD as atypical and demonstrate negative attitudes toward and a preference for social distance from these individuals. Method This systematic review aimed to identify the techniques employed by, and the impact of, TD peer intervention programs providing TD school-age children and adolescents with information about ASD and those training peers to be peer social models on peer perceptions of ASD. This search was conducted using three databases (i.e., PsychINFO, PubMed, Web of Science) and found 14 articles meeting inclusion criteria. Results Results demonstrate that peer training programs employ multiple methods including didactic trainings, group discussions, activities, opportunities for video or in-person exposure to individuals with ASD, and opportunities to implement learned strategies with peers to disseminate varying levels and types of information (e.g., descriptive, explanatory, directive) about ASD to participants. Conclusions Overall, results of such TD peer training programs demonstrate significant reductions in peer stigma and improvements in peer mediating abilities post-intervention.

Parenting a Child with ASD: Comparison of Parenting Style Between ASD, Anxiety, and Typical Development / Pamela VENTOLA in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-9 (September 2017)

Given parents’ increasingly pivotal role in children’s treatment, it is critical to consider parental style and behaviours. This study (1) compares parenting style of parents of children with ASD, parents of children with anxiety disorders, and parents of typically developing (TD) children and (2) investigates contributors to parenting style within and between groups. Parents of children with anxiety had a distinct parenting style compared to ASD and TD parents. Unique relationships between child symptoms and parenting behaviours emerged across the three groups. Understanding factors that impact parenting between and within clinical groups can guide the development of interventions better tailored to support the needs of parents, particularly parents of children with ASD.

Qualitative Ascriptions of Autistic Behavior by Non-Autistic College Students / Allison M. BIRNSCHEIN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-3 (March 2025)

However, few studies have investigated whether non-autistic peers accurately identify these hypothetical individuals as being on the autism spectrum. Accurately ascribing autism as a cause of depicted behaviors likely influences perceptions about autistic peers. In this study, 469 college students (Mage = 18.62; 79.3% female) ascribed cause(s) of an autistic peers? behaviors as depicted in a written vignette. We reviewed and categorized open-ended responses into 16 categories. Non-autistic college students primarily attributed an autistic vignette character?s behavior to non-autistic origins. The most commonly ascribed causes of behavior were: attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (55.4%), inattention symptoms (20.9%), autism (12.8%), generalized anxiety disorder (11.7%), hyperactivity (11.3%), an unspecified diagnosis (10.7%), an environmental influence (9.6), anxiety or insecurity (8.3%), irritability or anger or annoyance (6.0%), social anxiety disorder (5.3%), and learning disorder (5.1%). Additional ascribed causes include other mental health diagnoses; environmental stressors; and cognitive, emotional, behavioral, biological, or personality characteristics/etiologies. Non-autistic young adults may not always recognize their autistic peers as autistic, which may affect acceptance and inclusion. Future anti-stigma interventions should assess the impact of helping non-autistic peers to accurately identify and better understand behaviors associated with autism. Additionally, autism-focused researchers using vignettes should assess participants? awareness of the character as autistic and interpret their findings with this in mind.

Teacher-Reported Classroom Strategies and Techniques for Students With Autism Spectrum Disorder / Courtney A. PAISLEY in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 38-3 (September 2023)

While researchers continue to develop and disseminate evidence-based interventions, the research-to-practice gap between these interventions and implementation within school settings remains an ongoing challenge. This study examined qualitative responses from teachers regarding their knowledge of ASD-specific EBPs and the strategies used in their own classrooms. Results found that about a quarter of the sample of teachers surveyed correctly identified at least one ASD-specific EBP and reported using at least one ASD-specific EBP in their classrooms. While just more than half of a subsample of teachers reported using at least one ASD-specific EBP in their classrooms, just less than half accurately identified and categorized these practices as such. These findings highlight gaps and discrepancies in teachers' reported knowledge and application of ASD-specific EBPs and point to the importance of continued education to increase evidence-based classroom practices.
