Past research suggested that after age five, few gain verbal fluency, but studies have rarely investigated whether family environmental factors contribute to the acquisition of verbal fluency. The present study utilized data from the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised to compare changes in verbal fluency for 404 individuals with autism from childhood to adolescence and adulthood. Socioeconomic factors were examined across fluency groups (i.e., those who did/did not achieve verbal fluency). Findings indicated that fully 60% of those who were minimally verbal in early childhood acquired verbal fluency in adolescence and adulthood. Parent socioeconomic status differed across fluency groups, suggesting the importance of environmental factors for individual development.

Brief Report: The Utility of a Golf Training Program for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder / N. A. SHANOK in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-11 (November 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 49-11 (November 2019) . - p.4691-4697 Titre : Brief Report: The Utility of a Golf Training Program for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : N. A. SHANOK, Auteur ; M. SOTELO, Auteur ; J. HONG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4691-4697 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Motor functioning in ASD  Physical activity training  Sport interventions and autism  Treatment of autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition characterized by impairments in communication, social interactions, as well as motor functioning. Additionally, individuals with ASD are at a greater risk for health concerns due in part to a more sedentary lifestyle. Therefore, it may be advantageous to introduce more physical activity or sport-based training into autism therapeutic programs. Here, we introduce and evaluate a 6-week, 12 session golf-training program that integrates the teaching of autism-relevant social and communicative skills into each lesson. The results showed that all 46 participants (M = 11.46, SD = 6.21) improved on at least one outcome measure, and statistically significant increases in all measures (communication skills, social skills, motor skills, and regulatory skills) were detected from pre to post. These preliminary findings highlight the utility of an autism-targeted golf training program for all ages; future studies should seek to replicate this strategy in other settings and using other sports or recreational activities.

Factors associated with sustained community employment among adults with autism and co-occurring intellectual disability / W. CHAN in Autism, 22-7 (October 2018)

This study utilized longitudinal data to explore the impact of contextual influences, family factors, and individual characteristics on sustained employment over approximately 18 months ( N = 105). Very few adults with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability achieved sustained employment (14.3%). The results indicated that more independent daily living skills, a higher family income, a larger maternal social network, an inclusive school environment in early childhood, and currently living in an area with a larger population size were associated with significantly greater odds of sustaining employment. Follow-up analyses suggested that managing personal care is particularly important for employment.

Health profiles of adults with autism spectrum disorder: Differences between women and men / Leann S. DAWALT in Autism Research, 14-9 (September 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-9 (September 2021) . - p.1896-1904 Titre : Health profiles of adults with autism spectrum disorder: Differences between women and men Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Leann S.

MAILICK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1896-1904 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adult  Autism Spectrum Disorder/complications/epidemiology  Autistic Disorder  Electronic Health Records  Female  Humans  Male  Sleep Wake Disorders  adults  electronic health records  health  health care utilization  sex differences Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The purpose of the present study was to investigate the hypothesis that women with autism have poorer health compared with men with autism, and compared with women without autism. Utilizing electronic health records drawn from a single health care system serving over 2 million individuals, 2119 adults with diagnosed autism spectrum disorders were compared with age- and sex-matched controls. When considering health care utilization, we found evidence of multiplicative risk for conditions within some domains (i.e., nutrition conditions, neurologic disease, psychiatric conditions, and sleep disorders) such that women with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experienced double jeopardy-meaning they had greater rates of health care utilization within a domain than what would separately be expected by virtue of being a woman and having ASD. For other domains (i.e., endocrine disorders, gastrointestinal disorders), the risk was additive such that being a female and having ASD were both associated with higher health care utilization, but there were no significant interaction effects. It was only with respect to one domain (cardiovascular) that rates of health care utilization were reflective of neither ASD diagnosis nor sex. Overall, our findings suggest that women with ASD are a vulnerable subgroup with high levels of health care utilization. LAY SUMMARY: This study asked whether women with autism have poorer health compared with men with autism, and compared with women without autism. To answer this question, we used data from electronic health records. We found that women with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were at the greatest risk for health problems such as nutrition conditions, neurologic disease, psychiatric conditions, and sleep disorders. More research on health of women with ASD is needed.

Mortality in individuals with autism spectrum disorder: Predictors over a 20-year period / Leann S. DAWALT in Autism, 23-7 (October 2019)

MAILICK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1732-1739 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adulthood  autism spectrum disorders  health  mortality Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research has shown that individuals with autism spectrum disorder have higher rates of health problems throughout childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, and that this may result in elevated risk of early mortality. This study reported the rate, timing, and causes of death in a large community-based cohort of adolescents and adults with autism spectrum disorder (n = 406) over a 20-year period (1998-2018) and identified predictors of mortality. Over this period, 6.4% of individuals died at an average age of 39 years. Causes of death included chronic conditions (such as cancer and heart disease), accidents (such as choking on food and accidental poisoning), and health complications due to medication side effects. Even after controlling for age and health status, significant predictors of mortality were early childhood levels of impairments in social reciprocity and high levels of functional impairments at the start of the study period. The results suggest the importance of social engagement and functional self-sufficiency across the life course, as well as adequate access to health care for individuals with autism spectrum disorder.
