Autistic disorder symptoms in Rett syndrome / Josette WULFFAERT in Autism, 13-6 (November 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 13-6 (November 2009) . - p.567-581 Titre : Autistic disorder symptoms in Rett syndrome Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Josette WULFFAERT, Auteur ; Evert M. SCHOLTE, Auteur ; Ina A. VAN BERCKELAER-ONNES, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.567-581 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism autistic-disorder classification PDD Rett-syndrome Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : According to the major classification systems it is not possible to diagnose a comorbid autistic disorder in persons with Rett syndrome. However, this is a controversial issue, and given the level of functioning of persons with Rett syndrome, the autistic disorder is expected to be present in a comparable proportion as in people with the same level of functioning. To investigate, parents of 52 females with classical and atypical Rett syndrome (2.4—49.3 years) completed the Developmental Behavior Checklist (DBC), the Diagnostic Interview for Social and Communication Disorders (DISCO) and the Dutch Vineland Screener 0—6 (VS 0—6). All participants had a severe to profound intellectual disability (ID) according to the VS 0—6. Behavior indicated an autistic disorder in 42 (DBC) to 58 percent (DISCO) of the Rett cases. Autistic behavior had decreased in 19 percent such that they no longer met the criteria for autistic disorder. Some participants were suspected of having a comorbid autistic disorder, though not more often than can be expected at their level of functioning. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of a comorbid autistic disorder as much as they should be in other people with this level of functioning.

Brief Report: The Use of WAIS-III in Adults with HFA and Asperger Syndrome / Antoinette A. SPEK in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 38-4 (April 2008)

Differences between Verbal Intelligence (VIQ) and Performance Intelligence (PIQ) were not found. Processing Speed problems in people with HFA appeared. At the subtest level, the Asperger syndrome group performed weak on Digit Span. Comprehension and Block Design were relative strengths. In the HFA group, performance on Digit-Symbol Coding and Symbol Search was relatively poor. Strengths were found on Information and Matrix Reasoning. The results suggest that the VIQ-PIQ difference cannot distinguish between HFA and Asperger syndrome. WAIS III Factor Scale and Subtest patterning provides a more valid indicator.

Language in Low-Functioning Children with Autistic Disorder: Differences Between Receptive and Expressive Skills and Concurrent Predictors of Language / Jarymke MALJAARS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-10 (October 2012)

The group low-functioning children with autistic disorder obtained a higher mean score on expressive than on receptive language, whereas both comparison groups showed the reverse pattern. Nonverbal mental age, joint attention, and symbolic understanding of pictures were analyzed in relation to concurrent receptive and expressive language abilities. In the group with autistic disorder and intellectual disability, symbol understanding and joint attention were most strongly related to language abilities. Nonverbal mental age was the most important predictor of language abilities in the comparison groups.

Level of sense-making in children with autistic disorder and intellectual disability: Patterns of delay and deviance in development / Jarymke MALJAARS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)

Thirty-six children with autistic disorder and intellectual disability were compared with 27 children with intellectual disability and 33 typically developing children with a comparable nonverbal mental age (2–5 years). Level of sense-making was measured with the ComFor. Delays and deviant behaviors were assessed by using the Vineland Screener 0–6-NL and the Diagnostic Interview for Social and Communication Disorders. Levels of sense-making were substantially lower in the group with autistic disorder. At nonsymbolic levels of sense-making, children with autistic disorder and intellectual disability were much lower functioning in terms of social and communicative adaptive behavior than the children in the comparison groups with the same level of sense-making. Within the autism group, lower levels of sense-making were associated with more severe autism symptomatology in the domains of social interaction, communication, and imagination.

Local Information Processing in Adults with High Functioning Autism and Asperger Syndrome: The Usefulness of Neuropsychological Tests and Self-Reports / Annelies A. SPEK in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 41-7 (July 2011)

Contrary to our expectations, the disorder groups did not outperform the neurotypical group in the neuropsychological measures of local information processing. In line with our hypotheses, the self-reports did show higher levels of local information processing and a stronger tendency to use systemizing strategies in the two disorder groups. Absent and weak correlations were found between the self-reports and the two neuropsychological tasks in the three groups. The neuropsychological tests and the self-reports seem to measure different underlying constructs. The self-reports were most predictive of the presence of an autism spectrum diagnosis.
