Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 62 (June 2019) . - p.48-54 Titre : The relationship between subtypes of repetitive behaviors and anxiety in children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kaylin M. RUSSELL, Auteur ; Kyle M. FROST, Auteur ; Brooke R. INGERSOLL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.48-54 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Anxiety  Repetitive behaviors  Insistence on sameness  Self-injury Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Many children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience comorbid anxiety problems. Research suggests that anxiety symptoms are related to restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs) in general, and insistence on sameness behaviors, in particular. However, the extent to which other subtypes of RRBs are related to anxiety is less clear. Method This study evaluated the relationship between anxiety symptoms and subtypes of restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs) using the Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised (RBS-R) in a large sample of children ages 68 months to 18 years-old with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from the Simons Simplex Collection (N?=?2093). Results An exploratory factor analysis suggested a four-factor solution to the RBS-R. All four factors were significantly correlated with each other and with anxiety symptoms (ps?0.001). A hierarchical regression controlling for age and IQ indicated that the Sameness and Self-Injury factors accounted for unique variance in anxiety. There were no interactions between IQ and any of the RRB factors in predicting anxiety. Conclusions Results suggest that researchers and clinicians should consider the role of anxiety when understanding and treating RRBs in children with ASD. High endorsement of items that load on the Sameness and Self-Injury subscales of the RBS-R might be used to identify children who are at risk for anxiety but who may not show overt symptoms.

Despite the high rates of SIB in autistic individuals, relatively little research has focused on psychological factors associated with the development and maintenance of SIB in individuals with autism and moderate-profound intellectual disability (ID). This commentary synthesizes existing literature on SIB and highlights the need for more research focused on psychological correlates and mechanisms in autistic individuals with moderate-profound ID. We highlight the key role of difficulties in emotion regulation (ER) and co-occurring internalizing symptoms in the manifestation of self-harm behaviors in clinical samples and autism. Furthermore, this commentary proposes a framework for understanding the interplay between poor ER and internalizing symptoms in the development and maintenance of SIB in autistic individuals with moderate-profound ID. Specifically, we explore the emergence of SIB in the context of precipitating cues that trigger strong emotions, ER processes and strategy deployment, and co-occurring internalizing symptoms. Future directions and implications for longitudinal research, measurement development, and clinical treatments are discussed.

Using thin-slice ratings to measure social communication in children with autism spectrum disorder / Kyle M. FROST in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 74 (June 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 74 (June 2020) . - p.101550 Titre : Using thin-slice ratings to measure social communication in children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kyle M. FROST, Auteur ; Kaylin M. RUSSELL, Auteur ; Brooke R. INGERSOLL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101550 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD  Social communication  Thin-slice ratings  Observational measures Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Thin-slice ratings have been shown to predict a variety of behaviors in children and adults. Recently, thin-slice ratings have been used to characterize social communication and autism symptomatology in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), suggesting their potential as an alternative to intensive observational coding systems. Objectives This study examined whether thin-slice ratings of social communication skills during a parent-child interaction are psychometrically valid, related to observational and standardized measures of child social communication, and sensitive to change over time in children with ASD. Methods Thin-slice ratings for 71 children were completed by 173 undergraduates from a psychology research pool. Groups of naïve raters viewed two-minute clips of parent-child interactions for different children at two time points. For each clip, raters assigned scores for 7 items derived from the Brief Observation of Social Communication Change (BOSCC). Results Thin-slice rating items formed a unidimensional scale with good internal consistency (? = .92) and inter-rater reliability. The thin-slice rating scale demonstrated convergence with observational data from the BOSCC, as well as other common measures of social communication. Unlike the BOSCC, the thin-slice ratings did not change significantly from Time 1 to Time 2. Conclusion Thin-slice ratings of young children with ASD during a parent-child interaction demonstrated criterion validity with the BOSCC and convergent validity with other measures of child social communication functioning. Future studies should investigate whether thin-slice ratings by naïve raters capture other aspects of autism symptomatology. Findings suggest thin-slice ratings may provide a stable estimate of child social communication functioning that tracks with other measures of child developmental functioning.
