| Résumé : |
Autism is a heterogeneous diagnosis with symptoms that present in different ways. There is a large variety of interventions for autistic individuals. However, little is known about who chooses which specific interventions. We aimed to explore intervention prevalence and predict intervention use, based on demographic and autism-specific characteristics. This study used data on autistic children (N=1464, aged 1 “17 years) from the Netherlands Autism Register. Most children (88%) had received therapies, and about half had received medication. Intervention use was mostly related to additional factors (lower IQ, special education and co-occurring diagnoses). Children with a lower IQ received less therapies, children attending special education or with a co-occurring diagnosis received more therapies. Children in special education or with a co-occurring diagnosis were more likely to receive several types of therapy and medication. Older age, higher IQ and being female were related to more guideline (autism-specific) or mainstream (targeting co-occurring problems) therapy use. Lower parental education was related to more mainstream medication use. More severe sensory issues increased the chance of other medication use. Other autism-specific characteristics (autism severity, social skills, repetitive and restrictive behaviours) were not related to intervention use. More transdiagnostic interventions should be available for children with autism who have additional difficulties. |
