Heterogeneity of sensory features in autism spectrum disorder: Challenges and perspectives for future research / Mirko ULJAREVIC in Autism Research, 10-5 (May 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 10-5 (May 2017) . - p.703-710 Titre : Heterogeneity of sensory features in autism spectrum disorder: Challenges and perspectives for future research Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mirko ULJAREVIC, Auteur ; Grace T. BARANEK, Auteur ; Giacomo VIVANTI, Auteur ; Darren HEDLEY, Auteur ; Kristelle HUDRY, Auteur ; Alison LANE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.703-710 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Pronounced heterogeneity is apparent across every facet of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and it remains difficult to predict likely future potential among individuals who share a common diagnosis of ASD on the basis of early presentation. In this commentary we argue that a fine-grained understanding of individual differences in sensory features and their influence across the life span can constrain noted clinical heterogeneity in ASD. We organize our discussion around the following three critical themes: (a) considering sensory features as dimensional construct; (b) taking an “individual differences” approach; and (c) adopting a comprehensive, multidimensional and multimodal approach to measurement of sensory features. We conclude that future research will need to investigate individual differences in sensory features via: (1) multidimensional and cross-disciplinary examination, (2) prospective longitudinal designs, and (3) dimensional and developmental frameworks that emphasize the potential value of early individual variability as indicators of later outcomes, not only in relation to the categorical diagnostic outcome status but also the presence of other clinical features. This is a key time for sensory-related research and in this commentary we provide some of the steps that, in our opinion, can shape future research in this area.

Sensory subtypes and anxiety in older children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder / Mirko ULJAREVIC in Autism Research, 9-10 (October 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 9-10 (October 2016) . - p.1073-1078 Titre : Sensory subtypes and anxiety in older children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mirko ULJAREVIC, Auteur ; Alison LANE, Auteur ; Amanda KELLY, Auteur ; Susan LEEKAM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1073-1078 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : sensory  subtypes  anxiety  autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study aimed to identify sensory subtypes in older children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and examine the relationship of sensory subtypes with anxiety levels in this group. Mothers of 57 children and adolescents with ASD aged 11–17 years (Mean age?=?14 years. 2.4 months, SD?=?1.81) completed the short sensory profile and Spence anxiety scales. Model-based cluster analysis was applied to sensory profile scores to identify sensory subtypes. Three sensory subtypes, sensory adaptive (N?=?19), sensory moderate (N?=?29) and sensory severe (N?=?9) were identified. The results indicated that the differences between the subtypes were well characterised by the severity of sensory symptoms and were not attributable to sensory modality or varying types of sensory-related behaviors. Children and adolescents from the adaptive subtype had significantly lower anxiety scores when compared with other two subtypes. There were no differences between subtypes based on chronological age, expressive language, or severity of autism diagnostic features as measured by the social communication questionnaire (SCQ total score). This is the first study to identify the existence of sensory subtypes among older children and adolescents with ASD and explore their association with anxiety levels.
