Association between severity of behavioral phenotype and comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms in children with autism spectrum disorders / Patricia A. RAO in Autism, 18-3 (April 2014)

RAO, Auteur ; Rebecca LANDA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.272-280 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : attention deficit hyperactivity disorder  autism  comorbidity  symptom severity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are neurodevelopmental disorders that cannot be codiagnosed under existing diagnostic guidelines (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association, 4th ed., text rev.). However, reports are emerging that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is sometimes comorbid with autism spectrum disorder. In the current study, we examined rates of parent-reported clinically significant symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in school-aged children (4–8 years) with autism spectrum disorder, most of whom were first enrolled in our research protocols as toddlers. Results revealed that children with autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder had lower cognitive functioning, more severe social impairment, and greater delays in adaptive functioning than children with autism spectrum disorder only. Implications for clinical practice include the need to assess for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms at an early age in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Research is needed to determine efficacious interventions for young children with autism spectrum disorder with comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder to optimize outcomes.

Social Skills Interventions for Children with Asperger’s Syndrome or High-Functioning Autism: A Review and Recommendations / Patricia A. RAO in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 38-2 (February 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 38-2 (February 2008) . - p.353-361 Titre : Social Skills Interventions for Children with Asperger’s Syndrome or High-Functioning Autism: A Review and Recommendations Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Patricia A. RAO, Auteur ; Deborah C. BEIDEL, Auteur ; Michael J. MURRAY, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.353-361 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asperger’s-syndrome High-functioning-autism Social-skills Intervention Review Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This paper reviews the literature examining social skills training (SST) programs for youth with AS/HFA, with an emphasis on critically evaluating efficacy and highlighting areas of future research. The review highlights the disparity between SST programs described in the extant literature, including lack of a universal definition of social skills, various levels of intensity and duration of treatment, divergent theoretical backgrounds, and variety in services provided in clinic or classroom settings. Overall, it is clear that, despite their widespread clinical use, empirical support for SST programs for children with AS/HFA is minimal at this time. Based on this critical review, a “roadmap” for future research, consistent with recommendations put forth by a leading group of autism researchers, is presented.
