Titre : Characterising the Early Presentation of Motor Difficulties in Autistic Children Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jess E. REYNOLDS, Auteur ; Andrew J.O. WHITEHOUSE, Auteur ; Gail A. ALVARES, Auteur ; Hannah WADDINGTON, Auteur ; Ella MACASKILL, Auteur ; Melissa K. LICARI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4739-4749 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Australia Autism Spectrum Disorder Autistic Disorder/diagnosis Child Child, Preschool Female Humans Learning Longitudinal Studies Male Autism spectrum disorders Motor (control, system) Motor development Motor disorders Motor skills Movement Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study aimed to explore the rates of motor difficulties in children from the Australian Autism Biobank, and how early motor concerns impacted on children functionally. Children with autism aged 2-7 years, including 441 with a Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS-II) motor subscale and 385 with a Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) fine motor subscale were included (n total=514; 80% male). Approximately 60% of children on the MSEL and ~ 25% on the VABS-II had clinically significant motor impairments. More children with delayed sitting and walking motor milestones had early childhood parent reported motor difficulties (p < 0.001). Early motor delays or concerns may assist identifying individuals who will likely benefit from early ongoing developmental monitoring and early support.

Titre : Investigating associations between birth order and autism diagnostic phenotypes Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gail A. ALVARES, Auteur ; Melissa K. LICARI, Auteur ; Paul G. STEVENSON, Auteur ; Keely BEBBINGTON, Auteur ; Matthew N. COOPER, Auteur ; Emma J. GLASSON, Auteur ; Diana Weiting TAN, Auteur ; Mirko ULJAREVIĆ, Auteur ; Kandice J.

WHITEHOUSE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.961-970 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder/diagnosis/epidemiology Autistic Disorder Birth Order Child, Preschool Female Humans Male Phenotype Prospective Studies Autism spectrum disorder diagnosis first birth intellectual disability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Birth order effects have been linked to variability in intelligence, educational attainment and sexual orientation. First- and later-born children have been linked to an increased likelihood of an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis, with a smaller body of evidence implicating decreases in cognitive functioning with increased birth order. The present study investigated the potential association between birth order and ASD diagnostic phenotypes in a large and representative population sample. METHODS: Data were obtained from an ongoing prospective diagnostic registry, collected between 1999 and 2017, including children (1-18 years of age, n = 5,404) diagnosed with ASD in the state of Western Australia. Children with ASD were ranked relative to sibling's birth to establish birth order within families at time of ASD diagnosis. Information reported to the registry by health professionals at the time of diagnostic evaluation included demographic and family characteristics, functional abilities and intellectual capacity. RESULTS: Adaptive functioning and intelligence scores decreased with increasing birth order, with later-born children more likely to have an intellectual disability. Compared to first-born children with siblings, first-born children without siblings at the time of diagnosis also exhibited decreased cognitive functioning. CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate for the first time an association between increasing birth order and variability in ASD clinical phenotypes at diagnosis, with potential evidence of reproductive curtailment in children without siblings. Taken together, these findings have significant implications for advancing understanding about the potential mechanisms that contribute to heterogeneity in ASD clinical presentations as a function of birth order and family size.

REYNOLDS, Auteur ; John WRAY, Auteur ; Andrew J.O. WHITEHOUSE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.298-306 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder developmental disabilities motor disorders motor skills movement Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Motor impairment is not currently included in the diagnostic criteria or evaluation of autism. This reflects the lack of large-scale studies demonstrating its prominence to advocate for change. We examined the prevalence of motor difficulties at the time of diagnosis in a large sample of children with autism utilizing standardized assessment, and the relationship between motor difficulties, core autism symptomology, and other prominent clinical features. Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales were administered to children from the Western Australian Register for Autism Spectrum Disorders aged =6 years (N = 2,084; 81.2% males, 18.8% females). Prevalence of motor difficulties was quantified based on scores from the motor domain of the Vineland and then compared to other domains of functioning within the Vineland (communication, daily living, and socialization), the DSM criteria, intellectual level, age, and gender. Scores on the Vineland indicated that 35.4% of the sample met criteria for motor difficulties (standard score <70), a rate almost as common as intellectual impairment (37.7%). Motor difficulties were reported by diagnosing clinicians in only 1.34% of cases. Motor difficulties were common in those cases meeting diagnostic criteria for impairments in nonverbal behavior and the presence of restricted and repetitive behaviors. The prevalence of motor difficulties also increased with increasing age of diagnosis (P < 0.001). Findings from the present study highlight the need for further consideration of motor difficulties as a distinct specifier within the diagnostic criteria for ASD. Autism Res 2020, 13: 298-306. (c) 2019 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: In this population-based cohort that included 2,084 children with autism aged =6 years, over one-third met the criteria for motor difficulties, a rate almost as common as intellectual disability. This study demonstrates that motor difficulties are a prominent feature of the autism phenotype requiring further consideration in both the diagnostic criteria and evaluation of autism.

Titre : The course and prognostic capability of motor difficulties in infants showing early signs of autism Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Melissa K. LICARI, Auteur ; Kandice J.

WHITEHOUSE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1759-1768 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder Autistic Disorder Humans Infant Motor Skills Prognosis Prospective Studies early identification infancy motor skills Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Delays within the motor domain are often overlooked as an early surveillance marker for autism. The present study evaluated motor difficulties and its potential as an early predictive marker for later autism likelihood in a cohort of infants (N = 96) showing early behavioral signs of autism aged 9-14 months. The motor domain was evaluated using the motor subscales of the Mullen Scales of Early Learning at baseline, and at a 6-month follow-up. The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule - Toddler Module (ADOS-T) was completed at follow-up as a measure of autism likelihood. Motor difficulties were common at baseline, with 63/96 (65.6%) infants scoring very low or below average in the gross motor domain and 29/96 (30.2%) in the fine motor domain. At follow-up, gross motor difficulties had resolved for many, with 23/63 (36.5%) infants maintaining these difficulties. Fine motor difficulties resolved in fewer infants, with 20/29 (69.0%) continuing to present with fine motor delays at follow-up. Adjusted linear regression models suggested that fine motor scores at baseline (β = -0.12, SE = 0.04) and follow-up (β = -0.17, SE = 0.05) were associated with higher ADOS-T scores; with difficulties across both timepoints (β = 5.60, SE = 1.35) the strongest (largest in magnitude) association with ADOS-T scores of the predictors examined. Motor difficulties are prominent in children displaying emerging signs of autism, with persistent fine motor difficulties predictive of the developing autism phenotype. The findings indicate the potential clinical value of including evaluation of motor skills within early autism surveillance measures. LAY SUMMARY: This prospective study evaluated motor development over a 6-month period in infants showing early behavioral signs of autism. Atypical motor development was a common feature of infants showing early signs of autism and persistent fine motor difficulties were predictive of the emerging autism phenotype.
