(2017) with the Dutch MoCA(-NL). Results showed that: (1) The MoCA-NL is more sensitive, and (2) like Powell, no group differences were observed on the MoCA-NL. However, in contrast to Powell, we did not observe that older autistic adults show more impairment than controls on the MoCA-NL. Nonetheless, as the MoCA-NL is more sensitive to cognitive impairment, it is the recommended screener for older autistic adults.

Is Older Age Associated with Higher Self- and Other-Rated ASD Characteristics? / A. G. LEVER 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.2038-2051 Titre : Is Older Age Associated with Higher Self- and Other-Rated ASD Characteristics? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : A. G. LEVER, Auteur ; H. M. GEURTS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2038-2051 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adulthood  Aging  Autism spectrum disorder  Autism traits  Self- and other-report  Symptomatology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) characteristics seem to abate over time, but whether this protracts until late adulthood is largely unknown. We cross-sectionally investigated self- and other-reported ASD characteristics of adults with (ASD: Nmax-self = 237, Nmax-other = 130) and without ASD (COM: Nmax-self = 198, Nmax-other = 148) aged 19-79 years. Within the ASD group, self-reported ASD characteristics, and sensory sensitivities were highest in middle adulthood, while age was not associated to empathy. Sex differences were also found. However, age-and sex-related differences were not revealed by others and self- and other-report were poorly concordant. These results show that ASD characteristics in adulthood are differently perceived across age, sex, and informants and suggest that it is important to repeatedly assess self-reported ASD characteristics during adulthood.

Negatively phrased items of the Autism Spectrum Quotient function differently for groups with and without autism / Joost A. AGELINK VAN RENTERGEM in Autism, 23-7 (October 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 23-7 (October 2019) . - p.1752-1764 Titre : Negatively phrased items of the Autism Spectrum Quotient function differently for groups with and without autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Joost A. AGELINK VAN RENTERGEM, Auteur ; A. G. LEVER, Auteur ; H. M. GEURTS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1752-1764 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Quotient  adults  age differences  autism spectrum disorders  differential item functioning  measurement  measurement invariance  sex differences Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Autism Spectrum Quotient is a widely used instrument for the detection of autistic traits. However, the validity of comparisons of Autism Spectrum Quotient scores between groups may be threatened by differential item functioning. Differential item functioning entails a bias in items, where participants with equal values of the latent trait give different answers because of their group membership. In this article, items of the Autism Spectrum Quotient were studied for differential item functioning between different groups within a single sample (N = 408). Three analyses were conducted. First, using a Rasch mixture model, two latent groups were detected that show differential item functioning. Second, using a Rasch regression tree model, four groups were found that show differential item functioning: men without autism, women without autism, people 50 years and younger with autism, and people older than 50 years with autism. Third, using traditional methods, differential item functioning was detected between groups with and without autism. Therefore, group comparisons with the Autism Spectrum Quotient are at risk of being affected by bias. Eight items emerged that consistently show differences in response tendencies between groups across analyses, and these items were generally negatively phrased. Two often-used short forms of the Autism Spectrum Quotient, the AQ-28 and AQ-10, may be more suitable for group comparisons.
