Females with ASD may have more difficulty developing meaningful friendships than males, as the social climate can be more complex (Archer, Coyne, Personality and Social Psychology Review 9(3):212–230, 2005). This study examined whether treatment response among females differed from males. One hundred and seventy-seven adolescents and young adults with ASD (N?=?177) participated in this study. When analyzed by group, no significant differences by gender emerged: PEERS® knowledge (TASSK/TYASSK, p?=?.494), direct interactions (QSQ, p?=?.762), or social responsiveness (SRS, p?=?.689; SSIS-RS, p?=?.482). Thus, females and males with ASD respond similarly to the PEERS® intervention.

Changes in Electroencephalogram Coherence in Adolescents With Autism Spectrum Disorder After a Social Skills Intervention / Angela D. HAENDEL in Autism Research, 14-4 (April 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-4 (April 2021) . - p.787-803 Titre : Changes in Electroencephalogram Coherence in Adolescents With Autism Spectrum Disorder After a Social Skills Intervention Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Angela D. HAENDEL, Auteur ; Alexander BARRINGTON, Auteur ; Brooke MAGNUS, Auteur ; Alexis A. ARIAS, Auteur ; Alana MCVEY, Auteur ; Sheryl PLEISS, Auteur ; Audrey M. CARSON, Auteur ; Elisabeth M. VOGT, Auteur ; Amy VAUGHAN VAN HECKE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.787-803 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Eeg  Peers®  autism  coherence  electroencephalogram  social skill intervention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects social communication and behavior. There is consensus that neurological differences are present in ASD. Further, theories emphasize the mixture of hypo- and hyper-connectivity as a neuropathologies in ASD [O'Reilly, Lewis, & Elsabbagh, 2017]; however, there is a paucity of studies specifically testing neurological underpinnings as predictors of success on social skills interventions. This study examined functional neural connectivity (electroencephalogram [EEG], coherence) of adolescents with ASD before and after the Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®) intervention, using a randomized controlled trial of two groups: an Experimental ASD (EXP) Group and a Waitlist Control ASD (WL) Group. The study had two purposes. First, the study aimed to determine whether changes in EEG coherence differed for adolescents that received PEERS® versus those that did not receive PEERS®. Results revealed a significant increase in connectivity in the occipital left to temporal left pair for the EXP group after intervention. Second, the study aimed to determine if changes in EEG coherence related to changes in behavior, friendships, and social skills measured by questionnaires. At post-intervention, results indicated: (a) positive change in frontal right to parietal right coherence was linked to an increase in social skills scores; and (b) positive changes in occipital right to temporal right coherence and occipital left to parietal left coherence were linked to an increase in the total number of get-togethers. Results of this study support utilizing neurobehavioral domains as indicators of treatment outcome. Lay Summary: This study examined how well various areas of the brain communicate in adolescents with ASD before and after a social skills intervention. Results revealed increased connectivity in the adolescents that received the intervention. Secondly, the study aimed to determine if changes in connectivity of brain areas related to changes in behavior, friendships, and social skills. Results indicated that changes in connectivity were also linked to increased social skills. Autism Res 2021, 14: 787-803. © 2021 International Society for Autism Research and Wiley Periodicals LLC.

A Replication and Extension of the PEERS® for Young Adults Social Skills Intervention: Examining Effects on Social Skills and Social Anxiety in Young Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Alana J. MCVEY in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-12 (December 2016)

One intervention, PEERS® for Young Adults, shows promise in addressing these challenges. The present study replicated and extended the original study by recruiting a larger sample (N?=?56), employing a gold standard ASD assessment tool, and examining changes in social anxiety utilizing a randomized controlled trial design. Results indicated improvements in social responsiveness (SSIS-RS SS, p?=?.006 and CPB, p?=?.005; SRS, p?=?.004), PEERS® knowledge (TYASSK, p?=?.001), empathy (EQ, p?=?.044), direct interactions (QSQ-YA, p?=?.059), and social anxiety (LSAS-SR, p?=?.019). Findings demonstrate further empirical support for the intervention for individuals with ASD.
