While the majority of autistic and TD children completed all four tasks, autistic children experienced greater difficulties with task completion. Across autistic and TD children, performance on NIH-TCB tasks was highly dependent on IQ, but significant performance differences related to ASD diagnosis were found for two of four tasks. These findings highlight the potential strengths and limitations of the NIH-TCB for use with autistic children.

Parent and professional perspectives on behavioral inflexibility in autism spectrum disorders: A qualitative study / C. SETHI in Autism, 23-5 (July 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 23-5 (July 2019) . - p.1236-1248 Titre : Parent and professional perspectives on behavioral inflexibility in autism spectrum disorders: A qualitative study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : C. SETHI, Auteur ; C. HARROP, Auteur ; W. ZHANG, Auteur ; J. PRITCHETT, Auteur ; A. WHITTEN, Auteur ; Brian A. BOYD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1236-1248 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders  behavioral inflexibility  family functioning and support  qualitative research  repetitive behaviors and interests Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Restricted and repetitive behaviors are a core feature of autism spectrum disorder; however, research on the functional impact of these behaviors on the quality of life for individuals with autism spectrum disorder and their families remains scarce. We conducted focus groups with parents of children with autism spectrum disorder and clinicians in order to better characterize the functional impact of behavioral inflexibility, which represents one potential dimensional construct that could account for the breadth of behaviors comprising the restricted and repetitive behavior domain. Transcripts of the focus groups were analyzed using qualitative analysis coding methods to determine parent and clinician beliefs on a range of issues related to behavioral inflexibility including overall impact, types of child behaviors, and strategies for managing behavioral inflexibility. Thematic analysis revealed that parents and clinicians view behavioral inflexibility as an important behavior that impacts multiple areas of functioning, relates to other restricted and repetitive behaviors as well as social communication behaviors, and warrants targeted treatment. Notably, many parents and clinicians emphasized some positive consequences of behavioral inflexibility as well. These findings add crucial insights into the functional impact of behavioral inflexibility and restricted and repetitive behaviors as a whole and suggest that behavioral inflexibility represents an important avenue for future research.

Subgrouping Autism Based on Symptom Severity Leads to Differences in the Degree of Convergence Between Core Feature Domains / A. WHITTEN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-6 (June 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 48-6 (June 2018) . - p.1908-1919 Titre : Subgrouping Autism Based on Symptom Severity Leads to Differences in the Degree of Convergence Between Core Feature Domains Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : A. WHITTEN, Auteur ; K. E. UNRUH, Auteur ; R. L. SHAFER, Auteur ; James W. BODFISH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1908-1919 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Autism core features  Phenotype Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Existing models of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) disagree as to whether the core features should be conceptualized as convergent (related) or divergent (unrelated), and the few previous studies addressing this question have found conflicting results. We examined standardized parent ratings of symptoms from three domains (social, communication, repetitive behaviors) in large samples of typically developing children, children with ASD, and ASD subgroups. Our results suggest that the most evidence for divergence lies in typically developing children and lower severity ASD cases, while more evidence for convergence is found in a subset of cases with more severe impairment on any core feature. These results highlight the importance of subgrouping ASD given the degree of phenotypic heterogeneity present across the autism spectrum.
