Mean age of the children at time of diagnosis was 3 years 10 months. Of the 202 children diagnosed with ASD on the DSM-IV-TR, 184 (91.1 %) also met the DSM-5 criteria for ASD. The overall concordance rate of ASD diagnosis on the DSM-IV-TR and DSM-5 was higher than that reported in other studies. Of the 18 children who did not meet DSM-5 criteria for ASD, 16 children met all social communication criteria but did not fulfil at least two restricted and repetitive behaviour (RRB) criteria. Six of those children had further RRBs emerging later on follow-up.

A Direct Comparison of Three Screening Methods for Autism Spectrum Disorder in a High-Likelihood Sibling Population / Chui Mae WONG in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-4 (April 2024)

LAU, Auteur ; Lourdes Mary DANIEL, Auteur ; Hwan Cui KOH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1274-1285 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Targeted screening of children at increased likelihood of autism is recommended. However, autism screening tools are usually validated for use mainly in low-likelihood populations. This study compared the accuracy of the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised with Follow-up (M-CHAT-R/F), the ASDetect app, and the Social Attention and Communication Surveillance, Revised (SACS-R). Siblings of autistic children underwent autism screening at 12, 18 and 30 months old. At each visit, caregivers completed the M-CHAT-R/F and ASDetect while trained nurses tested the siblings using the SACS-R. At 36 to 48 months, the siblings underwent an Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-Second Edition (ADOS-2) assessment. 189 siblings were screened, 141 completed the study, and 32 were confirmed to have autism. Although not validated for use at 12 months, the M-CHAT-R/F had the best sensitivity among the three tools for this age group, suggesting that early signs are already apparent to caregivers. The M-CHAT-R/F had overall better sensitivity (0.72-0.83) across all age groups, but with overall lower specificity (0.55-0.77). The SACS-R and ASDetect had better positive predictive values at 18 and 30 months (0.60-0.68), while the M-CHAT-R/F was 0.43-0.48. Negative predictive values were generally high across all three tools across all age groups (0.78-0.93). Targeted screening of children at high likelihood of autism yielded a detection rate of 22.7% and should therefore be implemented routinely to facilitate early detection and intervention. The performance of autism screening tools should be examined in higher-likelihood populations for targeted screening of these children.

Language Use Preferences in a Culturally Diverse, Multiethnic, and Multilingual Autism Community in Singapore / Sharline SUHUMARAN in Autism, 30-7 (July 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 30-7 (July 2026) . - p.1759-1774 Titre : Language Use Preferences in a Culturally Diverse, Multiethnic, and Multilingual Autism Community in Singapore Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sharline SUHUMARAN, Auteur ; Ramkumar AISHWORIYA, Auteur ; Chui Mae WONG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1759-1774 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  cultural diversity  identity-first language  person-first language  terminology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is an emerging understanding of diverse language preferences in autism among stakeholders, including that for identity-first language (IFL) versus person-first language (PFL). We aimed to understand preferences regarding language use in racially and culturally diverse Singapore. A cross-sectional study was completed by autistic adults, caregivers of autistic individuals, and professionals working in the autism field. The questionnaire comprised commonly used terms in autism, which respondents rated from 1 (uncomfortable/I do not like this term) to 7 (very comfortable/this would be my preference). The sample comprised 320 individuals (82.8% females; Chinese 75.9%, Malay 9.4%, Indian 8.8%). Respondents comprised 38 (11.9%) autistic individuals, 86 (26.9%) caregivers/relatives, and 196 (61.3%) professionals. Differences in language preferences were observed between respondent types. Autistic individuals preferred terms like ‘autistic’ (M ± SD = 5.00 ± 2.25) unlike caregivers/relatives (3.66 ± 2.41) or professionals (3.30 ± 1.94, p < .001). PFL terms like ‘person with autism’ and ‘person with ASD’ were preferred by caregivers/relatives (4.47 ± 2.19; 4.33 ± 2.25) and especially professionals (5.32 ± 1.58; 4.89 ± 1.84) but disliked by autistic individuals (3.11 ± 2.09; 2.39 ± 1.99; p < .001). Different language preferences were observed between those with lived experience versus professionals. Sensitivity to the preferences of stakeholders fosters better inclusion and acceptance of neurodiversity.Lay Abstract Language shapes how autism is perceived and understood by society. Research on language preferences in the autism community has been mostly from Western sources. The primary consideration has been in identifying the preference between identity-first language (IFL), such as ‘autistic person’, and person-first language (PFL), such as ‘person with autism’. These studies suggest that professionals and caregivers prefer PFL while autistic individuals favor IFL. Little is known about these preferences in a culturally diverse setting like Singapore. This study aimed to explore the language preferences among the stakeholders in the autism community in Singapore. In this study, 320 participants were surveyed anonymously online; participants were asked to rate their comfort level with certain autism-related terms. The survey findings revealed significant differences in preferred language—autistic individuals expressed a strong preference for IFL and for terms that conveyed autism as a part of their identity and did not prefer clinical terms such as ‘symptoms of autism’ or PFL terms such as ‘person with ASD’. In contrast, caregivers and professionals tended to prefer PFL terms and medicalized language. It is likely that societal factors, including Singapore’s relatively conservative culture and societal views on autism, influenced these preferences. Awareness of the variations in language preferences among stakeholders in the autism community will help to foster inclusivity, acceptance, and sensitivity toward autistic individuals and their families.
