Caregiver- and Child-Reported Anxiety Using an Autism-Specific Measure: Measurement Properties and Correlates of the Anxiety Scale for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASC-ASD) in Verbal Young People with ASD / C. P. SOH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 51-8 (August 2021)

The present study investigated the use of the Anxiety Scale for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASC-ASD), a self- and caregiver-rated screening tool in a Singaporean sample of ninety-one verbal autistic youths and their caregivers. Internal consistency ranged from satisfactory to desirable (??=?.74-.92). Convergent validity with medium-large effect size was established using a structured diagnostic interview, the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Children and Adolescents (MINI-KID). ASC-ASD scores were positively associated with autistic symptoms and response patterns indicated strong endorsement of autism-specific items. The findings are discussed in relation to existing literature on assessment of anxiety in ASD and in light of the study's strengths and limitations.

Comparison of DSM-IV-TR and DSM-5 Criteria in Diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorders in Singapore / M. SUNG in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-10 (October 2018)

DSM-IV-TR performed slightly better, yielding sensitivity of 0.946 and specificity of 0.889, compared to DSM-5 (sensitivity = 0.837; specificity = 0.833). When considering the ASD sub-categories, sensitivity ranged from 0.667 to 0.933, and specificity ranged from 0.900 to 0.975. More participants with a PDD-NOS best estimate clinical diagnosis (40%) were misclassified on DSM-5. Merits and weaknesses to both classification systems, and implications for access to services and policy changes are discussed.

Correlates of adaptive skills in children with autism spectrum disorder / Ramkumar AISHWORIYA in Autism, 25-6 (August 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 25-6 (August 2021) . - p.1592-1600 Titre : Correlates of adaptive skills in children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ramkumar AISHWORIYA, Auteur ; T.

This study wanted to identify modifiable early intervention factors that are associated with better outcomes and possible high-risk groups of children who are at risk of poorer outcomes. Participants included 193 children aged between 5 and 12?years of age whose parents provided information on their family background and early intervention characteristics. These children also had their adaptive behaviour skills examined by formal testing. Results indicated that shorter wait time for early intervention was associated with better adaptive behaviour scores. Children from families with financial difficulties and lower paternal education were also at risk of poorer adaptive skills. Designing services for children with autism such that wait times to enter early intervention services are minimised following initial diagnosis can improve their eventual functional outcomes. Changes in healthcare policy to allow expedited entry or targeted intervention to children from low socio-economic status families can also enhance their eventual adaptive skill gains.
