Bidirectional relationship between internalizing symptoms and gastrointestinal problems in youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Kristen N. DOVGAN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-11 (November 2023)

DOVGAN, Auteur ; Kyra GYNEGROWSKI, Auteur ; Bradley J. FERGUSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4488-4494 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Many youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience co-occurring conditions, such as gastrointestinal (GI) problems and internalizing symptoms. However, the relationship among these co-occurring problems is not well-understood. We analyzed parent reports of GI problems and internalizing symptoms of 621 youth with ASD using path models in a structural equation modeling framework. The best-fitting model was a bidirectional model wherein internalizing symptoms, including withdrawn and anxious behavior, were correlated with GI problems, including constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and stomach pain. This study provides a better understanding of the relationship among co-occurring conditions in youth with ASD and should encourage clinicians to consider treatment of underlying internalizing symptoms or GI problems when providing services for individuals with ASD.

Course and Predictors of Sleep and Co-occurring Problems in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder / M. O. MAZUREK in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-5 (May 2019)

MALOW, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2101-2115 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Anxiety  Autism spectrum disorder  Behavior problems  Sensory problems  Sleep disturbance  Sleep problems Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The chronicity of sleep disturbance and its relation to co-occurring symptoms in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are not well understood. The current study examined longitudinal relations among sleep and co-occurring symptoms in a large well-characterized sample of 437 children with ASD assessed at baseline and follow-up (M = 3.8 years later). Twenty-three percent experienced worsening sleep problems over time, while 31.5% showed improvement. Path analysis indicated that sleep problems at baseline predicted later development of ADHD symptoms in younger children and somatic complaints in older children. For younger children, sensory over-responsivity predicted future sleep problems. Findings suggest that sensory over-reactivity may contribute to sleep problems in some children with ASD, and that sleep problems may result in poor daytime functioning.

Influences on Parent Perceptions of Autism Severity / Kristen N. DOVGAN in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 34-4 (December 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 34-4 (December 2019) . - p.236-245 Titre : Influences on Parent Perceptions of Autism Severity Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kristen N. DOVGAN, Auteur ; Kerri P. NOWELL, Auteur ; Juliana AGUILAR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.236-245 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders  culture Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often relies on parent report for describing behavior and symptoms. Psychometric studies in assessment have supported the utility of parent report; however, cultural and external factors may influence ratings of severity. The purpose of this study was to investigate if parent characteristics influence the severity rating of ASD over and above child characteristics. Using the 2009 2010 National Survey of Children With Special Health Care Needs (NS-CSHCN), we examined 3,037 parents who answered questions about their child?s ASD symptoms. We used hierarchical multiple regression to assess child-level variables (age, developmental delay, intellectual disability, and number of co-occurring emotional or behavioral conditions) and family-level variables (education, income, and language). We also performed mediation analyses to examine the relationship between language and severity ratings. Parents rated their child?s ASD as mild (52.3%), moderate (36%), or severe (11.8%). Parent-level variables explained a significant amount of variance over and above child-level variables. Several different stressors and challenges for English Language Learner parents mediated the relationship between language and severe ASD ratings. When asking parents to evaluate a child?s ASD symptoms, clinicians and researchers must consider the influence of sociocultural factors on ratings. In addition, because parent perception can drive help-seeking behaviors, professionals need to understand that there may be differences across sociocultural groups. Future research should investigate which sociocultural perceptions or expectations may be affecting parent ratings of ASD severity.

Longitudinal Examination of Sleep Problems and Symptom Severity in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Eleonora SADIKOVA in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-4 (April 2023)

DOVGAN, Auteur ; Micah O. MAZUREK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1673-1681 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Up to 80% of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience sleep problems, which have been associated with more severe presentations of ASD symptoms. We examined the bidirectional link between sleep problems and specific ASD symptoms at two time points within 5 years in a well-characterized sample (659 children with ASD). Using cross-lagged panel analyses, we found evidence for a unidirectional link between baseline ASD symptoms (specifically repetitive behaviors, atypical behaviors, communication, and peer interactions) and future sleep problems, but did not find evidence of a bidirectional relationship. We did not find any longitudinal association between social reciprocity and sleep problems. It is important for providers and caregivers to understand and monitor the link between ASD symptoms and sleep problems.

Measurement invariance of the child behavior checklist in children with autism spectrum disorder with and without intellectual disability: Follow-up study / Kristen N. DOVGAN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 58 (February 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 58 (February 2019) . - p.19-29 Titre : Measurement invariance of the child behavior checklist in children with autism spectrum disorder with and without intellectual disability: Follow-up study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kristen N. DOVGAN, Auteur ; Micah O. MAZUREK, Auteur ; John HANSEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.19-29 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Child behavior checklist  Autism spectrum disorder  Measurement invariance  Intellectual disability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have high rates of co-occurring emotional and behavioral problems. The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) has been used to assess emotional and behavioral functioning in many large-scale studies of children with ASD. However, the previously established factor model may account for symptom patterns differently in children with concurrent intellectual disability (ID). Method In a sample of children with ASD, a multi-group nested confirmatory factor analysis was used to compare participant groups with and without concurrent ID on each of the subscales of the CBCL. Results In almost all of the subscales, children with ASD and concurrent ID exhibit different baseline levels, measurement error, and overall predictive ability on the behavioral and emotional problems of the CBCL than children with ASD alone. In younger children with ASD, configural invariance was present in Emotional Reactivity, Anxious/Depressed, and Somatic Complaints, metric invariance was present in Sleep Problems, residual invariance was present in Withdrawn Behavior, and structural invariance was present in Attention Problems and Aggressive Behavior. In older children with ASD, configural invariance was present in Anxious/Depressed, Somatic Complaints, Social Problems, Thought Problems, Attention Problems, and Rule-Breaking; whereas, metric invariance was present in Withdrawn/Depressed and Aggressive Behavior. Conclusions In conclusion, when dealing with intellectually heterogeneous ASD samples, the item-level data of the CBCL should be used, rather than broad subscale-level data. These findings underscore a continued need for development and validation of measures that are appropriate for use in individuals with ASD across ages and intellectual functioning.
