Aspects of quality of life in adults diagnosed with autism in childhood: A population-based study / Eva BILLSTEDT in Autism, 15-1 (January 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 15-1 (January 2011) . - p.7-20 Titre : Aspects of quality of life in adults diagnosed with autism in childhood: A population-based study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Eva BILLSTEDT, Auteur ; I. Carina GILLBERG, Auteur ; Christopher GILLBERG, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.7-20 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The present study is a long-term prospective follow-up study of a population-based cohort of 120 individuals diagnosed with autism in childhood, followed into late adolescence/early adulthood. Specific aims of the study were to attempt to measure and study social aspects/quality of life in those 108 individuals with autism alive and available for study at the time of follow-up (13—22 years after original diagnosis). A newly constructed scale for rating ‘autism-friendly environment’/quality of life was used alongside a structured parent/carer interview assessing current occupation, educational history, services provided, accommodation type, and recreational activities. The majority of the group with autism remained dependent on parents/caregivers for support in education, accommodation and occupational situations. In spite of this, the estimation of the study group’s general quality of life was encouragingly positive. Nevertheless, there was an obvious need for improvements in the areas of occupation and recreational activities. Future studies need to look in more depth at the concept of an autism-friendly environment and develop more detailed quality of life assessment tools relevant for people in the autism spectrum.

Socio-Dramatic Affective-Relational Intervention for Adolescents with Asperger Syndrome & High Functioning Autism: Pilot Study / Matthew D. LERNER in Autism, 15-1 (January 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 15-1 (January 2011) . - p.21-42 Titre : Socio-Dramatic Affective-Relational Intervention for Adolescents with Asperger Syndrome & High Functioning Autism: Pilot Study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Matthew D. LERNER, Auteur ; Amori Yee MIKAMI, Auteur ; Karen LEVINE, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.21-42 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined the effectiveness of a novel intervention called ‘socio-dramatic affective-relational intervention’ (SDARI), intended to improve social skills among adolescents with Asperger syndrome and high functioning autism diagnoses. SDARI adapts dramatic training activities to focus on in vivo practice of areas of social skill deficit among this population. SDARI was administered as a six-week summer program in a community human service agency. Nine SDARI participants and eight age- and diagnosis-group matched adolescents not receiving SDARI were compared on child- and parent-report of social functioning at three week intervals beginning six weeks prior to intervention and ending six weeks post-intervention. Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) was used to estimate growth trends between groups to assess treatment outcomes and post-treatment maintenance. Results indicated significant improvement and post-treatment maintenance among SDARI participants on several measures of child social functioning. Implications for practice and research are discussed.

The social interactive behaviour of young children with autism spectrum disorder and their mothers: Is there an effect of familiarity of the interaction partner? / Mieke MEIRSSCHAUT in Autism, 15-1 (January 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 15-1 (January 2011) . - p.43-64 Titre : The social interactive behaviour of young children with autism spectrum disorder and their mothers: Is there an effect of familiarity of the interaction partner? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mieke MEIRSSCHAUT, Auteur ; Herbert ROEYERS, Auteur ; Petra WARREYN, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.43-64 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In this study the social behaviour of young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their mothers is compared within two different dyads: a dyad consisting of a mother and her own child and a dyad consisting of a mother and an unfamiliar child. Mothers did not change the frequency of their social initiatives and responsiveness with an unfamiliar child, but they became less directive than with their own child. Children with ASD did not show significantly better social behaviour with their own mother than with an unfamiliar mother. The results suggest that the social behaviour of a child with autism is not significantly enhanced by the familiarity of the social partner, but rather by the partner’s autism-adapted interaction style. Clinical implications of these findings have been discussed.

Assessing expressed emotion in mothers of children with autism: The Autism-Specific Five Minute Speech Sample / Paul R. BENSON in Autism, 15-1 (January 2011)

KARLOF, Auteur ; Dorothy ROBISON, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.65-82 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Expressed emotion (EE) is a measure of family emotional climate found to be predictive of symptom levels in a range of psychiatric, medical, and developmental disorders, including autism. Method: Employing data from 104 mothers of children with autism, this study examines the Autism-Specific Five Minute Speech Sample (AFMSS), a modified EE coding system based on the widely used Five Minute Speech Sample (Magana et al., 1986). Findings: With the exception of one EE component, emotional over-involvement, the revised coding system demonstrated adequate internal consistency and good to excellent inter-rater and code-recode reliability. It also demonstrated acceptable validity, based on its significant correlations with factors linked to EE in previous research. Regression analyses also indicated AFMSS-EE to be a significant predictor of child social competence, but not child problem behaviors. Discussion: While further testing is required, the AFMSS appears to be a useful method of assessing EE within the context of parenting children with autism and related disorders.

Data were collected on the age at diagnosis, the time taken to obtain a diagnosis and the difficulties encountered. Questionnaires filled in by the parents (n = 248) and in-depth interviews (n = 43) were analyzed in order to obtain quantitative and qualitative results. The ages of the children ranged from 4 to 45. This approach enabled us to compare the practices of professionals now and in the past. The mean age of diagnosis was 10 ± 8 years from 1960 to 1990, 5 ± 3 years from 1990 to 2005 (3 ± 1 from 2003 to 2005). The results showed that the mean delays between first consultation and diagnosis were reduced. Regarding the way the diagnosis was announced, 63% of the parents of children with autism and 93% of the parents of adults with autism were dissatisfied. We discuss the parents’ reactions and the changes in the diagnostic process.

Diagnosis and the social environment may influence eating behaviours. We examined whether children with ASD have more mealtime problems than their typically developing siblings, and whether age and sex are associated with mealtime problems. Forty-eight families participated in this cross sectional study by completing a questionnaire (Eating Profile) for their child with ASD, 3 to 12 years of age. A second Eating Profile was completed for the sibling nearest in age without ASD. Children with ASD had a mean of 13.3 eating problems, with lack of food variety predominating. Siblings had 5.0 problems. Children with ASD had more eating problems as infants. Older children tended to have fewer problems than younger children. This study points to the importance of screening for mealtime problems. Children with ASD had significantly more mealtime problems than their sibling living in the same social environment.
