Observational and Reported Measures of Language and Pragmatics in Young People with Autism: A Comparison of Respondent Data and Gender Profiles / Alexandra STURROCK in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-3 (March 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-3 (March 2020) . - p.812-830 Titre : Observational and Reported Measures of Language and Pragmatics in Young People with Autism: A Comparison of Respondent Data and Gender Profiles Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Alexandra STURROCK, Auteur ; Antonia MARSDEN, Auteur ; Catherine ADAMS, Auteur ; Jenny FREED, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.812-830 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Gender  Language and communication Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Female children with autism spectrum disorder (FwASD) and performance intelligence quotient (PIQ) over 70 were compared with male children with ASD (MwASD) and typically developing (TD) controls (age 8-11 years) using a range of language and pragmatic measures. Functional ability was assessed using clinical observations and parent, teacher and self-reports. Results were compared between measures, and with direct assessments of language and pragmatics, in order to identify potential biases. This study found that FwASD performed better than MwASD but worse than TD controls on clinical observations of pragmatic ability. FwASD also performed worst overall on a parental measure of emotions. Additionally, there were patterns of differences between clinician, parent, teacher and self- reports and direct assessments, which indicate the need for assessment data to be collected from multiple informants. Findings also have implications for the accurate identification of ASD in females and appropriate provision of support.

Speaking the Same Language? A Preliminary Investigation, Comparing the Language and Communication Skills of Females and Males with High-Functioning Autism / Alexandra STURROCK in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-5 (May 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-5 (May 2020) . - p.1639-1656 Titre : Speaking the Same Language? A Preliminary Investigation, Comparing the Language and Communication Skills of Females and Males with High-Functioning Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Alexandra STURROCK, Auteur ; Natalie YAU, Auteur ; Jenny FREED, Auteur ; Catherine ADAMS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1639-1656 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder  Gender  Language and communication Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Understanding the nature of language and communication disorders in High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder (HFASD) populations may provide insight into why females are more likely than males to go undiagnosed. Language and communication skills were compared between 13 females and 13 males (aged 8.11-11.06) with HFASD. Gender-normative data was also ascertained from 26 typically developing children (TD) matched for age and gender. All children had typical range PIQ, slight variation here was controlled for in analysis. Results show females outperforming males in pragmatic and semantic tasks and in certain language-of-emotion tasks. TDs outperformed HFASDs in above-sentence level tasks, but not in basic vocabulary or sentence level tasks. This study highlights specific strengths/weaknesses in language and communication for female HFASD, which could aid more accurate identification of the female autistic phenotype. It indicates the need for larger follow up studies in this area.
