Brief report: Poor self-regulation as a predictor of individual differences in adaptive functioning in young children with autism spectrum disorder / M. ULJAREVIC in Autism Research, 11-8 (August 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 11-8 (August 2018) . - p.1157-1165 Titre : Brief report: Poor self-regulation as a predictor of individual differences in adaptive functioning in young children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : M. ULJAREVIC, Auteur ; D. HEDLEY, Auteur ; R. NEVILL, Auteur ; D. W. EVANS, Auteur ; Ru Ying CAI, Auteur ; Eric BUTTER, Auteur ; J. A. MULICK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1157-1165 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adaptive behavior  autism spectrum disorder  dysregulated profile  individual variability/heterogeneity  self-regulation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The present study examined the link between poor self-regulation (measured by the child behavior checklist dysregulated profile [DP]) and core autism symptoms, as well as with developmental level, in a sample of 107 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) aged 19-46 months. We further examined the utility of DP in predicting individual differences in adaptive functioning, relative to the influence of ASD severity, chronological age (CA), and developmental level. Poor self-regulation was unrelated to CA, developmental level, and severity of ADOS-2 restricted and repetitive behaviors, but was associated with lower ADOS-2 social affect severity. Hierarchical regression identified poor self-regulation as a unique independent predictor of adaptive behavior, with more severe dysregulation predicting poorer adaptive functioning. Results highlight the importance of early identification of deficits in self-regulation, and more specifically, of the utility of DP, when designing individually tailored treatments for young children with ASD. Autism Res 2018, 11: 1157-1165. (c) 2018 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: This study explored the relationship between poor self-regulation and age, verbal and non-verbal developmental level, severity of autism symptoms and adaptive functioning in 107 children with autism under 4 years of age. Poor self-regulation was unrelated to age, developmental level, and severity of restricted and repetitive behaviors but was associated with lower social affect severity. Importantly, more severe self-regulation deficits predicted poorer adaptive functioning.

Language profiles in young children with autism spectrum disorder: A community sample using multiple assessment instruments / R. NEVILL in Autism, 23-1 (January 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 23-1 (January 2019) . - p.141-153 Titre : Language profiles in young children with autism spectrum disorder: A community sample using multiple assessment instruments Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : R. NEVILL, Auteur ; D. HEDLEY, Auteur ; M. ULJAREVIC, Auteur ; E. SAHIN, Auteur ; J. ZADEK, Auteur ; Eric BUTTER, Auteur ; J. A. MULICK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.141-153 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : assessment  autism spectrum disorder  communication and language  development  Mullen scales  predictors  preschool children  Preschool  Language Scale  Vineland  diagnostic observation schedule  joint attention  preschool-children  toddlers  outcomes  growth  characterize  associations  impairments  Psychology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study investigated language profiles in a community-based sample of 104 children aged 1-3 years who had been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder using Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.) diagnostic criteria. Language was assessed with the Mullen scales, Preschool Language Scale, fifth edition, and Vineland-II parent-report. The study aimed to determine whether the receptive-to-expressive language profile is independent from the assessment instrument used, and whether nonverbal cognition, early communicative behaviors, and autism spectrum disorder symptoms predict language scores. Receptive-to-expressive language profiles differed between assessment instruments and reporters, and Preschool Language Scale, fifth edition profiles were also dependent on developmental level. Nonverbal cognition and joint attention significantly predicted receptive language scores, and nonverbal cognition and frequency of vocalizations predicted expressive language scores. These findings support the administration of multiple direct assessment and parent-report instruments when evaluating language in young children with autism spectrum disorder, for both research and in clinical settings. Results also support that joint attention is a useful intervention target for improving receptive language skills in young children with autism spectrum disorder. Future research comparing language profiles of young children with autism spectrum disorder to children with non-autism spectrum disorder developmental delays and typical development will add to our knowledge of early language development in children with autism spectrum disorder.
