Anxiety and intellectual functioning in autistic children: A systematic review and meta-analysis / Jessica E. MINGINS in Autism, 25-1 (January 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 25-1 (January 2021) . - p.18-32 Titre : Anxiety and intellectual functioning in autistic children: A systematic review and meta-analysis Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jessica E. MINGINS, Auteur ; Joanne TARVER, Auteur ; Jane WAITE, Auteur ; Chris JONES, Auteur ; Andrew SURTEES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.18-32 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : anxiety  autism  autism spectrum disorder  intelligence quotient  meta-analysis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic children often experience higher levels of anxiety than their peers. It can be difficult to diagnose and treat anxiety disorders in autistic children, in part because of the high degree of variability in their underlying abilities and presentations. Some evidence suggests that autistic children with higher intelligence (as measured by intelligence quotient) experience higher levels of anxiety than autistic children with lower intelligence. However, the evidence is inconsistent, with other papers not finding a difference or finding higher levels of anxiety in autistic children with lower intelligence. In this article, we review existing literature to see whether autistic children with higher intelligence quotients have higher anxiety than autistic children with lower intelligence quotients. A systematic search of the literature was conducted which identified 49 papers on the topic. The methods of all the papers were reviewed using an objective quality assessment framework. When combining the data statistically, there was evidence that autistic children with higher intelligence quotients are more anxious than autistic children with lower intelligence quotients. The quality review raised common weaknesses across studies. Most importantly, few studies used measures of anxiety that have been shown to be valid for children with very low intelligence quotients. Similarly, many studies used measures of anxiety that have not been shown to be valid for autistic children. These factors are important because autistic children and those with low intelligence quotient may experience or understand anxiety differently. Future research should use fully validated measures to test whether high intelligence quotient is associated with high levels of anxiety in autistic children.

Autistic people differ from non-autistic people subjectively, but not objectively in their reasoning / Elif BASTAN ; Sarah R. BECK ; Andrew D.R. SURTEES in Autism, 29-2 (February 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 29-2 (February 2025) . - p.355-366 Titre : Autistic people differ from non-autistic people subjectively, but not objectively in their reasoning : Autism Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Elif BASTAN, Auteur ; Sarah R. BECK, Auteur ; Andrew D.R. SURTEES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.355-366 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  deliberation  dual process theory  intuition  reasoning Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism has been linked to difficulties within the social domain and quick decision-making. The Dual Process Theory of Autism proposes that autistic people, compared to non-autistic people, tend to prefer and perform in a more deliberative and less intuitive reasoning style, suggesting enhanced rationality in autism. However, this theory has not been systematically explored across social and non-social domains. In total, 24 autistic adults and 24 age-, gender- and non-verbal cognitive ability-matched non-autistic counterparts completed subjective and objective measures of reasoning. A scenario-based comparison task was employed, covering both social and non-social domains, to assess whether participants consistently used the same strategy across domains or alternated between strategies for their forced-choice judgements. On a subjective measure of reasoning, compared to their counterparts, autistic participants self-reported lower intuition. However, there was an opposite pattern on an objective measure, in that autistic participants responded more intuitively. No significant group differences were identified between autistic and non-autistic participants on self-reported deliberation, objectively measured reflectiveness or forced-choice moral judgements across social and non-social domains. There might be a discrepancy among autistic people for their subjective preferences and objective performances in reasoning, decision-making and judgements. Lay Abstract Autistic people often experience challenges in social contexts, and when decisions need to be made quickly. There is evidence showing that autistic people have a tendency for greater deliberation and lower intuition, compared to non-autistic people. This has led to the researchers' proposal that autism is associated with an enhanced level of rationality. However, these theories have been mostly explored through the lens of either only non-social domain or only social domain. To address this gap, we recruited autistic adults and carefully matched them with non-autistic adults for comparison. We used a task representing both social and non-social interactions in a comparison structure and asked participants' moral judgements on scenarios' main characters. This was complemented by subjective and objective measures of reasoning. Our findings did not reveal meaningful differences between groups in terms of deliberation. However, we did observe that autistic participants self-reported lower levels of intuition, compared to non-autistic participants. Autistic people consistently rate themselves as less intuitive than their counterparts. Nevertheless, objective evidence supporting this across tasks and studies is inconsistent.

Exploring an objective measure of overactivity in children with rare genetic syndromes / Rory O'SULLIVAN in Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 16 (2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders > 16 (2024) Titre : Exploring an objective measure of overactivity in children with rare genetic syndromes Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rory O'SULLIVAN, Auteur ; Stacey BISSELL, Auteur ; Georgie AGAR, Auteur ; Jayne SPILLER, Auteur ; Andrew SURTEES, Auteur ; Mary HEALD, Auteur ; Emma CLARKSON, Auteur ; Aamina KHAN, Auteur ; Christopher OLIVER, Auteur ; Andrew P. BAGSHAW, Auteur ; Caroline RICHARDS, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Child  Humans  Smith-Magenis Syndrome/complications  Angelman Syndrome/complications/diagnosis  Tuberous Sclerosis/complications  Intellectual Disability/complications  Actigraphy  Angelman syndrome  Children  Hyperactivity  Objective  Overactivity  Questionnaire  Rare genetic syndromes  Smith-Magenis syndrome  Tuberous sclerosis complex Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Overactivity is prevalent in several rare genetic neurodevelopmental syndromes, including Smith-Magenis syndrome, Angelman syndrome, and tuberous sclerosis complex, although has been predominantly assessed using questionnaire techniques. Threats to the precision and validity of questionnaire data may undermine existing insights into this behaviour. Previous research indicates objective measures, namely actigraphy, can effectively differentiate non-overactive children from those with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. This study is the first to examine the sensitivity of actigraphy to overactivity across rare genetic syndromes associated with intellectual disability, through comparisons with typically-developing peers and questionnaire overactivity estimates. METHODS: A secondary analysis of actigraphy data and overactivity estimates from The Activity Questionnaire (TAQ) was conducted for children aged 4-15 years with Smith-Magenis syndrome (N=20), Angelman syndrome (N=26), tuberous sclerosis complex (N=16), and typically-developing children (N=61). Actigraphy data were summarized using the M10 non-parametric circadian rhythm variable, and 24-hour activity profiles were modelled via functional linear modelling. Associations between actigraphy data and TAQ overactivity estimates were explored. Differences in actigraphy-defined activity were also examined between syndrome and typically-developing groups, and between children with high and low TAQ overactivity scores within syndromes. RESULTS: M10 and TAQ overactivity scores were strongly positively correlated for children with Angelman syndrome and Smith-Magenis syndrome. M10 did not substantially differ between the syndrome and typically-developing groups. Higher early morning activity and lower evening activity was observed across all syndrome groups relative to typically-developing peers. High and low TAQ group comparisons revealed syndrome-specific profiles of overactivity, persisting throughout the day in Angelman syndrome, occurring during the early morning and early afternoon in Smith-Magenis syndrome, and manifesting briefly in the evening in tuberous sclerosis complex. DISCUSSION: These findings provide some support for the sensitivity of actigraphy to overactivity in children with rare genetic syndromes, and offer syndrome-specific temporal descriptions of overactivity. The findings advance existing descriptions of overactivity, provided by questionnaire techniques, in children with rare genetic syndromes and have implications for the measurement of overactivity. Future studies should examine the impact of syndrome-related characteristics on actigraphy-defined activity and overactivity estimates from actigraphy and questionnaire techniques.

Sleep problems in autism spectrum disorders: A comparison to sleep in typically developing children using actigraphy, diaries and questionnaires / Andrew D.R. SURTEES in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 67 (November 2019)

Sleep problems are among the most prevalent comorbid difficulties with ASD. The current study aimed to use multiple methods to describe these difficulties. Method Sleep of sixteen children with ASD and a parentally-reported sleep problem was compared to the sleep of a matched group of children without ASD. Seven nights of actigraphy data were collected for both groups, alongside sleep diaries and questionnaires. Results No group differences were identified through actigraphy or diary measures. Questionnaire data confirmed that the children with ASD had a higher prevalence of sleep problems. Significant differences were noted in problems with parasomnias (a frequent problem for 79% of the children with ASD), sleep onset (43%) and day-time sleepiness (64%). Conclusions Multi-method assessment is vital in understanding sleep problems in children with ASD. Broad estimates of quantity of sleep do not necessarily describe the difficulties experienced. Using questionnaires in addition to objective measurement may be a means to understand sleep problems in children with ASD and to an improved understanding of their impact.
