This review examines published research on the prevalence of ASDs in Down syndrome. The manifestation of ASDs in the Down syndrome population is also examined with regard to published case studies and profiles on ASD screening and diagnostic instruments. Possible correlates of ASDs in Down syndrome including level of cognitive functioning, medical factors, gender, and family history are also reviewed. Issues regarding the diagnostic assessment of ASDs in Down syndrome and suggestions for future research are discussed.

These observations stimulated further investigation into markers of immune function in autism. Postinfectious and autoimmune mechanisms of pathophysiology have been proposed. This review comprehensively addresses immune findings to date, including the role of viruses, neuroimmune factors, cellular and humoral immunity, immunogenetics, and immunotherapy in relation to autism. Although numerous immune abnormalities have been identified in autism, inconsistent results have often been reported. To date, research in this area has largely involved small, uncontrolled studies. In order to bring clarity to this field, high-quality, systematic research is needed to explore the role of neuroimmunologic factors in autism.

Forty-two studies that met pre-determined inclusion criteria were analyzed and summarized in terms of: (a) participants receiving intervention, (b) peers implementing, (c) method of training peers, (d) intervention procedures, and (e) desired outcomes. Further, we critically appraised each study's design and related methodological details in order to determine certainty of evidence. Collectively, the 42 studies involved a total of 172 participants who received intervention from a total of 396 trained peers. The reported outcomes were mostly positive (91%), but the studies are limited because treatment fidelity was only rarely assessed. Overall, the reviewed studies suggest that PMI is a versatile and potentially effective intervention approach for individuals with ASD.

These studies were evaluated in terms of: (a) purpose of study, (b) participant characteristics and (c) procedures. Across the studies, the ages of participants varied between 6 and 57 years. The pragmatic comprehension and inference abilities measured varied from homograph comprehension to ability to understand non-literal statements. Pragmatic inference weaknesses, but not inabilities, were found throughout the studies. However, researchers did not wholly agree on the reasons and the extent of processing difficulties. The most commonly suggested explanations for pragmatic inference deficits were theory of mind and central coherence.

Stimulus-reward association and reversal learning in individuals with Asperger Syndrome / Tiziana ZALLA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 3-4 (October-December 2009)

Participants were requested to learn a stimulus-reward association rule and monitor changes in reward value of stimuli in order to gain as many points as possible. In order to assess whether difficulties with stimulus-reward association learning and with reversal and/or extinction might be related to social and behavioural impairments, we performed correlation analyses between test measures and scores measuring the severity of clinical symptoms in the areas of repetitive behaviours and social interaction as assessed by the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) [Lord, C., Rutter, M., & Le Couteur, A. (1994). Autism diagnostic interview-revised: A recise version of a diagnostic interview for caregivers of individuals with possible pervasive developmental disorders. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 24, 659–685]. Individuals with AS showed difficulties in establishing rapid stimulus-reward associations, whereas no severe impairment was observed in reversal and extinction learning. In addition, the present findings show that these difficulties correlate with scores in social reciprocal interaction, suggesting that the diminished ability in the assignment of reinforcement value to incoming stimuli might be related to disturbances in social behaviour often reported in autism spectrum disorders.

Variables related to sleep problems in children with autism / Susan DICKERSON MAYES in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 3-4 (October-December 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 3-4 (October-December 2009) . - p.931-941 Titre : Variables related to sleep problems in children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Susan DICKERSON MAYES, Auteur ; Susan L. CALHOUN, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.931-941 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Sleep Child-characteristics Medication Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Our study of 477 children with autism (1–15 years, IQs 9–146) showed that parent reported sleep problems are found in most children with autism and are not significantly related to age, IQ, gender, race, parent occupation, neuropsychological functioning, and learning ability. However, sleep problems increased with severity of autistic symptoms and with severity of parent reported symptoms known to be associated with autism (i.e., oppositional behavior, aggression, explosiveness, attention deficit, impulsivity, hyperactivity, anxiety, depression, and mood variability). This suggests that sleep disturbance is part of the autism symptom complex and increases with increasing autism severity. The strongest predictors of sleep disturbance were parent ratings of autism severity, hyperactivity, mood variability, and aggression. The most frequent sleep problems were difficulty falling asleep and restlessness during sleep. Daytime sleepiness was not significantly correlated with sleeping less than normal, but was associated with sleeping more than normal. Children who were sleepier during the day were also sleepier at night. Medical practitioners and clinicians should be aware of the risk of sleep disturbance in children with autism and should routinely screen for this. Empirically proven interventions (e.g., behavior therapy and melatonin) are available to improve sleep in children with autism.

Langues : Anglais (eng) in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 3-4 (October-December 2009) . - p.931-941 Mots-clés : Autism Sleep Child-characteristics Medication Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Our study of 477 children with autism (1–15 years, IQs 9–146) showed that parent reported sleep problems are found in most children with autism and are not significantly related to age, IQ, gender, race, parent occupation, neuropsychological functioning, and learning ability. However, sleep problems increased with severity of autistic symptoms and with severity of parent reported symptoms known to be associated with autism (i.e., oppositional behavior, aggression, explosiveness, attention deficit, impulsivity, hyperactivity, anxiety, depression, and mood variability). This suggests that sleep disturbance is part of the autism symptom complex and increases with increasing autism severity. The strongest predictors of sleep disturbance were parent ratings of autism severity, hyperactivity, mood variability, and aggression. The most frequent sleep problems were difficulty falling asleep and restlessness during sleep. Daytime sleepiness was not significantly correlated with sleeping less than normal, but was associated with sleeping more than normal. Children who were sleepier during the day were also sleepier at night. Medical practitioners and clinicians should be aware of the risk of sleep disturbance in children with autism and should routinely screen for this. Empirically proven interventions (e.g., behavior therapy and melatonin) are available to improve sleep in children with autism.

Although demonstrated by typically developing infants, social referencing is notably absent or impaired in individuals with autism. In this study, behavioral procedures including verbal, visual, and manual prompting and reinforcement were used to teach four children with autism to exhibit a social referencing response chain composed of an observing response and a conditional discriminative response in the presence of variants of standard academic materials. Observing was defined as looking at the experimenter when presented with unfamiliar handwriting materials, verbal models, and video models. Conditional discriminative responding was defined as completing the handwriting task or imitating the verbal and video models in the presence of a head nod and a smile, and placing the handwriting materials or Language Master cards aside, or remaining seated in a chair in the presence of a headshake and a frown. All four children learned to exhibit social referencing. The ambiguous materials were then interspersed among the standard materials. One of the children showed discriminated social referencing, observing in the presence of the ambiguous stimuli and not in the presence of the standard materials. The other children were taught to discriminate the ambiguous and standard stimuli and to exhibit social referencing only in the presence of the ambiguous materials. The effectiveness of the teaching procedures used is discussed in the context of a learning theory analogue of social referencing.

Children with HFA (N = 61) were compared to healthy, typical controls (N = 64) to determine the relationship between these behavioral classes and to examine whether executive dysfunction explained any relationship between the variables. Particular types of repetitive behavior (i.e., stereotypy and compulsions) were related to sensory features in autism; however, executive deficits were only correlated with repetitive behavior. This finding suggests that executive dysfunction is not the shared neurocognitive mechanism that accounts for the relationship between restricted, repetitive behaviors and aberrant sensory features in HFA. Group status, younger chronological age, presence of sensory processing issues, and difficulties with behavior regulation predicted the presence of repetitive behaviors in the HFA group.

Sixty-eight children diagnosed with autism, aged 18–35 months (M = 25.4, SD = 4.0) participated in the study. Children underwent comprehensive evaluations at pre-intervention time (T1) and after 1 year of intervention (T2). The evaluation included autism classification based on Autism Diagnosis Observation Schedule (ADOS) original algorithm, cognitive abilities (Mullen) and adaptive skills evaluation (Vineland). At T2, two groups were identified: the Unchanged group (n = 53) remained in the same autism classification and the Improved group (n = 15) changed classification to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) (n = 13) or Off Spectrum (n = 2). The verbal domain scores at T1 was the only significant variable that distinguished the two groups. Specifically, the Improved group had better receptive language scores than the Unchanged group. The Improved group gained significantly more than the Unchanged group in all the outcome measures (cognitive, adaptive and reduction of stereotyped behaviors). Two distinct subtypes of autism were identified, one with stable autism symptomatology, poor verbal abilities and limited cognitive and adaptive gains, and a second type with better baseline verbal abilities and overall better response to intervention.

In the present study, 309 children between 17 and 37 months of age who had been identified as having either autism or PDD-NOS were screened for comorbid psychopathology. Using the psychopathology scale of the Baby and Infant Screen for Children with aUtIsm Traits (BISCUIT-Part 2), norms and cutoff scores for various forms of psychopathology (e.g., conduct problems, inattention, impulsivity, avoidance, anxiety, eating and sleep problems) were established. Additionally, frequency of items across factors was compared for autism, PDD-NOS and on atypically developing group of children without an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (n = 460). All five disorders (tantrum, conduct behavior, inattentive/impulsive, avoidant behavior, anxiety/repetitive and eating problems/sleep) were more common in the autism group. Differences in the two groups were particularly striking for the anxiety/repetitive behavior and inattention/impulsivity factors. Implications of these findings are discussed.

However, few studies have evaluated the importance of various factors, such as the effect of treatment intensity on treatment outcomes, and how these outcomes vary by age. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship of treatment hours and participant age with the rate of learning within an early intensive behavioral intervention program. The present study evaluated treatment progress for 245 children receiving EIBI services. Regression analyses were conducted to predict treatment progress based upon the number of monthly treatment hours received and the participant's age. Each of these variables were significant predictors and accounted for considerable portions of the observed variance. Further, the younger participants showed a greater benefit from increased treatment hours when compared to older participants. These data indicate that for children between 2 and 7 years of age, there was a significant increase in new skill acquisition with increased treatment hours. Further, there was not a point of diminishing-returns.

However, few studies have evaluated the importance of various factors, such as the effect of treatment intensity on treatment outcomes, and how these outcomes vary by age. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship of treatment hours and participant age with the rate of learning within an early intensive behavioral intervention program. The present study evaluated treatment progress for 245 children receiving EIBI services. Regression analyses were conducted to predict treatment progress based upon the number of monthly treatment hours received and the participant's age. Each of these variables were significant predictors and accounted for considerable portions of the observed variance. Further, the younger participants showed a greater benefit from increased treatment hours when compared to older participants. These data indicate that for children between 2 and 7 years of age, there was a significant increase in new skill acquisition with increased treatment hours. Further, there was not a point of diminishing-returns.

Public vs. private insurance: Cost, use, accessibility, and outcomes of services for children with autism spectrum disorders / April YOUNG in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 3-4 (October-December 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 3-4 (October-December 2009) . - p.1023-1033 Titre : Public vs. private insurance: Cost, use, accessibility, and outcomes of services for children with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : April YOUNG, Auteur ; Lisa A. RUBLE, Auteur ; John H. MCGREW, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.1023-1033 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism-spectrum-disorders Service Insurance Outcomes Caregiver-stress Medicaid Costs Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Very little research has been conducted on insurance type (private vs. public funded) and costs, accessibility, and use of services of children with autism. Analysis of five parent reported outcomes: (a) out-of-pocket expenditures, (b) variety of services used, (c) access to services, (d) child and family service outcomes, and (e) satisfaction with payer of services against private and public insurance was completed. Parents/caregivers completed a survey regarding recent usage of nine specific services—inpatient care, medication management, counseling or training, individual therapy, in-home behavior therapy, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, case management, and respite care. Across all respondents (n = 107), 73.5% were privately insured; 21.2% were publicly insured. Based on insurance type, no statistically significant differences in outcome variables were found, findings that were not consistent with previous research. However, an indirect association was found between out-of-pocket expense and parent satisfaction with the payer of services, access to care, and family outcomes. Further, a significantly higher percentage of total out-of-pocket expenditures were allocated to speech language therapy among publicly insured children than among privately insured children (p = .03) and parent stress was a moderating variable between access to care and variety of services used.
