Childhood language skills as predictors of social, adaptive and behavior outcomes of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder / Ana MIRANDA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 103 (May 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 103 (May 2023) . - p.102143 Titre : Childhood language skills as predictors of social, adaptive and behavior outcomes of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ana MIRANDA, Auteur ; Carmen BERENGUER, Auteur ; Inmaculada BAIXAULI, Auteur ; Belén ROSELLÓ, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102143 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Structural language skills  Pragmatics  Follow-up  Socio-adaptive skills  Behaviour problems Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Children with autism, including those without intellectual disability (ASD-ID), experience poor social and adaptive development in adolescence. Although language difficulties are commonly identified in children ASD-ID, there has been little empirical research that has analyzed the influence of these difficulties in social, adaptive and behavioural outcomes in adolescence. Methods and procedure Structural and pragmatic language of 45 children with ASD-ID were assessed at childhood (aged 7-11) through The Children Communication Checklist (CCC-2) completed by parents. More than four-years later, in the follow-up, prosocial behaviour and peer relationships, daily living and socialization skills and behavioural difficulties were evaluated. Results Multiple regression analysis exploring the relationships between structural and pragmatic language and the different developmental outcomes, showed that pragmatic language significantly predicted all three domains, especially stereotyped language and use of context. However, structural language (semantics in particular) only accounted for a significant proportion in the variance in prosocial behaviour and socialization skills. Conclusions and implications Taken together, these findings indicate that structural language and, particularly pragmatic language, are relevant predictors of ASD social and behavioural outcomes in adolescence. Therefore, a detailed language assessment might be an important target of ASD diagnostic practice for improving the development of children with ASD-ID.

“Communicative skills in Spanish children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Analysis through parents’ perceptions and narrative production” / Inmaculada BAIXAULI FORTEA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 50 (June 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 50 (June 2018) . - p.22-31 Titre : “Communicative skills in Spanish children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Analysis through parents’ perceptions and narrative production” Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Inmaculada BAIXAULI FORTEA, Auteur ; Carmen BERENGUER FORNER, Auteur ; Carla COLOMER, Auteur ; Ana Miranda CASAS, Auteur ; Belén Roselló MIRANDA, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : p.22-31 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Communication  Pragmatics  Narrative  Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder  Autism Spectrum Disorder Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Communicative skills are one of the main deficits experienced by children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The differential diagnosis is a complex issue that clinicians often face. For this reason, this study has two objectives: 1) to analyze the similarities and differences that children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and children with ASD present in their linguistic and communicative skills, through parentś perceptions and narrative production; 2) to identify the relative importance of the skills analyzed in discriminating children with ASD versus children with ADHD, as well as the classification power of each of the two measurement methods used. Method Participants were 37 children with typical development (TD), 52 with ASD, and 35 with ADHD. Their communicative competence was assessed through The Children's Communication Checklist Second Edition (CCC-2) (Bishop, 2003) and a narrative task. Results The results of the family ratings indicated that the difficulties were not as severe in ADHD as in ASD, where the deficit was much more pronounced in the interpretation of the context, non-verbal communication, and stereotyped language. On the narrative task, both groups displayed difficulties on expressing relevant information and inferential comprehension, and they differed on erroneous interpretations, with the children with ASD presenting worse performance. These variables showed a greater capacity to classify participants in the diagnostic categories studied. Conclusions These findings have direct clinical implications for optimizing the assessment process, making it possible to identify which specific language aspects can best differentiate between groups.

Contribution of Theory of Mind, Executive Functioning, and Pragmatics to Socialization Behaviors of Children with High-Functioning Autism / Carmen BERENGUER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-2 (February 2018)

This study had two objectives: to compare the profile of ToM skills, executive functioning (EF), and pragmatic competence (PC) of children with high-functioning autism (HFA) and children with typical development (TD), and analyze their mediator role in social functioning. The participants were 52 children with HFA and 37 children with TD matched on age, intelligence quotient, and expressive vocabulary. Significant differences were found on measures of ToM, both explicit and applied, EF, and PC between children with HFA and TD. Multiple mediation analysis revealed that applied ToM skills and PC mediated the relations between autism symptoms and social functioning. Implications for social cognitive interventions to address these findings are discussed.

Family Factors and Communicative Skills in Children with Autism Without Intellectual Disability / Inmaculada BAIXAULI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-12 (December 2019)

A second aim was to determine the differences in communicative skills between children of family subtypes empirically established according to the aforementioned risk factors. Participants were 52 Spanish mothers and their children with ASD. Through cluster analysis, three subtypes of families were identified, classifying them as "high risk, moderate risk, and little risk". The "little risk" profile showed significantly less stress and greater use of coping strategies and confidant social support. Furthermore, the children's communication exhibited better development, compared to children from the other family environments.

Sleep problems in children with autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: A comparative study and effects on communication skills / Carmen BERENGUER in Autism Research, 17-2 (February 2024)

The first objective of this study is to examine the differences in sleep problems between a group of children with ASD without intellectual disabilities, a group with ADHD and a typically developing (TD) group. A second objective is aimed at analyzing the effects of sleep problems and symptom severity on their communication skills. Participants were 122 children between 7 and 12 years old distributed in three groups: 32 TD children, 47 children with ASD and 43 children with ADHD, matched on age and intelligence. Parents completed different questionnaires that measured sleep disturbances and communication skills. Findings show significant differences between the clinical groups and the TD group in most types of sleep disorders. Moreover, the group with ADHD showed significantly more sleep breathing disorders and hyperhidrosis in comparison with ASD and TD, as well as more total sleep problems. In contrast to ASD, the predictive power of sleep problems on communication difficulties was greater in the group with ADHD. The results of the mediation analysis indicate that in both groups, sleep problems partially mediate the relationship between symptoms and communication. This investigation highlights the need of considering sleep disorders when assessing communication skills in ASD and ADHD, given its indirect influence in this domain. Understanding the sleep dysfunctions of both conditions and their repercussions is crucial to develop adjusted interventions.
