Data from FAIR Health's FH® NPIC (National Private Insurance Claims) database, one of the nation's largest databases of private insurance claim records, were analyzed to understand the experiences of individuals with ASD in the COVID-19 pandemic. Multivariate logistic regression models revealed that individuals with ASD?+?ID were nine times more likely to be hospitalized following COVID-19 infection (OR=9.3; 95% CI: 6.9-12.5) and were nearly six times more likely to have an elevated length of hospital stay (OR=5.9; 95% CI: 3.5-10.1) compared to those without ASD?+?ID. These findings point to the need for prioritizing access to vaccines to prevent COVID-19 infection and morbidities. This is the first study to illustrate a higher likelihood of hospitalization and elevated length of hospital stay from COVID-19 in individuals with ASD and other comorbidities.

Editorial Perspective: Longitudinal research in autism – introducing the concept of ‘chronogeneity’ / Stelios GEORGIADES in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-5 (May 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 58-5 (May 2017) . - p.634-636 Titre : Editorial Perspective: Longitudinal research in autism – introducing the concept of ‘chronogeneity’ Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Stelios GEORGIADES, Auteur ; Somer L. BISHOP, Auteur ; Thomas FRAZIER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.634-636 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD or autism) is a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder. We are now at a critical juncture in autism research where we have the knowledge base and expertise to begin to think about studies that view heterogeneity, not as ‘statistical noise’ that can be ‘accounted for’ using data-reduction techniques (such as group trajectories), but rather as ‘informative variance’ that can help form a more precise and dynamic picture of autism. In this Editorial we coin a new term and introduce the concept of ‘chronogeneity’ for the study of autism heterogeneity in relation to the dimension of time (chrono). Using examples of ongoing research and analytical advances we build the case for the potential utility of the concept of ‘chronogeneity’ and argue that a refined approach to the longitudinal investigation of autism (and other neurodevelopmental disorders) may move us closer to more precise and adaptive models of care for the children and youth affected by these disorders.

Using community-engaged methods to adapt virtual reality job-interview training for transition-age youth on the autism spectrum / Matthew J. SMITH in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 71 (March 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 71 (March 2020) . - p.101498 Titre : Using community-engaged methods to adapt virtual reality job-interview training for transition-age youth on the autism spectrum Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Matthew J. SMITH, Auteur ; Rogério M. PINTO, Auteur ; Leann S. DAWALT, Auteur ; J. D. SMITH, Auteur ; Kari SHERWOOD, Auteur ; Rashun MILES, Auteur ; Julie LOUNDS TAYLOR, Auteur ; Kara HUME, Auteur ; Tamara DAWKINS, Auteur ; Mary BAKER-ERICZEN, Auteur ; Thomas FRAZIER, Auteur ; Laura HUMM, Auteur ; Chris STEACY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101498 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Transition-age youth  Virtual reality  Job interviewing  Adaptation  Implementation science Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Virtual Reality Job-Interview Training (VR-JIT) is an efficacious Internet-based intervention for adults with severe mental illness (SMI). Evaluations of VR-JIT have shown improved interview skill and access to employment in several cohorts of adults with SMI and with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). VR-JIT trains participants how to fill out job applications and handle job interviews through e-learning content and applied practice. Trainees receive feedback through in-the-moment nonverbal cues, critiques, and recommendations for improving performance. Our study sought to adapt VR-JIT for transition-age youth with ASD (TAY-ASD). Methods We recruited TAY-ASD and adult stakeholders from public and charter schools, transition programs, and community service providers. Participants provided feedback on VR-JIT to enhance its applicability to TAY-ASD. We used community-engaged methods to process and analyze data from TAY-ASD and stakeholders, presented their quantitative and qualitative responses to community and scientific advisory boards for review and recommendations, and adapted the intervention design and content. Results Our adaptations included adding diversity (gender; race/ethnicity) to the virtual hiring manager; shortening the interview by reducing response options; increasing social storytelling to enhance engagement with VR-JIT core components; adding employment opportunities more relevant to younger workers; reducing the reading level; and making the e-learning content more accessible by adding bullet points, voiceover, and imagery/video; and adding new learning goals. Conclusions This study presents a rigorous and innovative community-engaged methodology for adapting VR-JIT to meet the needs of TAY-ASD. We review our engagement with TAY-ASD and stakeholders, and discuss the standardized coding scheme we used to adapt VR-JIT and the usefulness and limitations of employing this methodology in adapting other behavioral interventions.
