A website developed by Sesame Street containing information about autism and resources for families was distributed to parents of children with autism (n = 473) and parents of children without autism (n = 707). Pre- and post-test measures of implicit bias toward children with autism; explicit attitudes and knowledge about autism; and parenting confidence, strain, and stigma were completed before and after the website was presented. Results indicated that parents of children with autism showed less implicit bias compared with those of non-autistic children during the pre-test, but the groups did not differ at the post-test. Parents without autistic children and those with more negative explicit attitudes showed a greater reduction in implicit bias from the pre- to the post-test. In addition, for parents of children with autism, a more positive change in explicit attitudes and increased knowledge from the pre- to the post-test was associated with more empowerment at the post-test. Together, our findings suggest that the online educational resources can reduce implicit bias against children with autism and help mitigate some of the psychological issues associated with parenting children with autism.

Identifying comorbid ADHD in autism: Attending to the inattentive presentation / Srishti RAU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 69 (January 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 69 (January 2020) . - p.101468 Titre : Identifying comorbid ADHD in autism: Attending to the inattentive presentation Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Srishti RAU, Auteur ; Mary F. SKAPEK, Auteur ; Kaitlyn TIPLADY, Auteur ; Sydney SEESE, Auteur ; Alison BURNS, Auteur ; Anna Chelsea ARMOUR, Auteur ; Lauren KENWORTHY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101468 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD  ADHD  Comorbidity  Assessment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background There are high rates of comorbidity between ADHD and ASD; however, there has been limited work parsing rates by ADHD presentation. In addition, commonly used questionnaires have demonstrated reduced utility in capturing ADHD symptoms in individuals with ASD. We examined the prevalence of comorbid Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) parsed by DSM-5 presentation in clinic-referred youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) without intellectual disability (ID). We compared common rating scales to determine which most effectively identified comorbid ADHD. Method We examined comorbid ADHD diagnoses from archival assessment data for 419 youth with ASD without ID. We examined diagnostic discriminability of the parent and teacher ADHD Rating Scale (ADHD R-S), and Attention and ADH Problems Scales of the Child Behavior Checklist and Teacher Report Form using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Hierarchical logistic regression was used to examine measures’ unique contribution to ADHD diagnosis. Results Sixty-one percent of the study sample met DSM-5 criteria for an attention disorder. ADHD, Combined (ADHD-C) represented the largest proportion of ADHD diagnoses (76.8%), followed by Inattentive (ADHD-I;19.7%), Hyperactive/Impulsive (.02%), and Un-/Other Specified (.02%). Measures provided greater diagnostic discriminability in identifying ADHD-C relative to ADHD-I. The ADHD R-S inattentive symptom count provided the greatest discriminability for both subtypes and was the only scale that provided clinically meaningful differentiation between those with ASD only and ASD + ADHD-I. Conclusions These results support using the ADHD R-S to capture comorbid ADHD symptoms in ASD. The findings underscore the need for more thorough examination of inattentive symptoms to rule out ADHD-I.

Increasing autism acceptance: The impact of the Sesame Street "See Amazing in All Children" initiative / Bruno J. ANTHONY in Autism, 24-1 (January 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 24-1 (January 2020) . - p.95-108 Titre : Increasing autism acceptance: The impact of the Sesame Street "See Amazing in All Children" initiative Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Bruno J.

ANTHONY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.95-108 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : acceptance  autism spectrum disorders  community inclusion  preschool Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : To promote knowledge and acceptance of autism, Sesame Workshop created an online initiative: See Amazing in All Children. This nationwide evaluation of See Amazing assessed whether it increased knowledge and acceptance, promoted community inclusion, reduced parenting strain, and enhanced parenting competence. Survey responses were collected online from parents of children (age 6) with and without autism before (N = 1010), 1 week after (N = 510), and, for parents of autistic children, 1 month after (N = 182) they viewed the See Amazing materials. Following exposure, parents of non-autistic children showed small but significant increases in knowledge of autism and, like parents of autistic children, greater acceptance of autistic children. Parents of autistic children reported less strain, increased parenting competence, and more hope about involving their child in their community. That the See Amazing materials invoked positive changes in the general parent community and in parents of autistic children suggests that See Amazing materials have the potential to be an effective resource to increase acceptance and community inclusion, although limitations of self-selection, dropout rate, and lack of control group constrain interpretation. Implications include support for targeting acceptance as a step beyond awareness campaigns, though actual behavior change is a subject for future research.

This study utilized an age- and IQ-matched sample of school-aged youth (n = 228) diagnosed with ASD to assess sex differences on the ADOS and ADI-R, parent-reported autistic traits, and adaptive skills. Although females and males were rated similarly on gold-standard diagnostic measures overall, females with higher IQs were less likely to meet criteria on the ADI-R. Females were also found to be significantly more impaired on parent reported autistic traits and adaptive skills. Overall, the findings suggest that some autistic females may be missed by current diagnostic procedures.
