Titre : Diagnostic and Physical Effects in Parasympathetic Response to Social Evaluation in Youth With and Without Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rachael A. MUSCATELLO, Auteur ; Ahra KIM, Auteur ; Simon VANDEKAR, Auteur ; Blythe A. CORBETT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3427-3442 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent Autism Spectrum Disorder/diagnosis Autonomic Nervous System Humans Autonomic Obesity Parasympathetic Puberty Stress no conflict of interest. Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may demonstrate atypical autonomic (ANS) responses; however, research remains inconsistent. This study examined parasympathetic response during social evaluation in 241 youth (10-13 years) with ASD (n=138) or typical development (TD; n=103). Diagnosis, age, pubertal development, and body mass index (BMI) were hypothesized to be associated with ANS function. Linear mixed effects models demonstrated lower RSA in ASD relative to TD in a base model with no covariates. However, when accounting for differences in BMI, there was no evidence of atypical parasympathetic regulation in youth with ASD. As lower parasympathetic regulation may increase susceptibility for a number of conditions, it will be important to elucidate the link between BMI and the ANS, especially in ASD.

Titre : Examination of pubertal timing and tempo in females and males with autism spectrum disorder compared to typically developing youth Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Blythe A. CORBETT, Auteur ; Rachael A. MUSCATELLO, Auteur ; Ahra KIM, Auteur ; Simon VANDEKAR, Auteur ; Sara DUFFUS, Auteur ; Sloane SPARKS, Auteur ; Yasas TANGUTURI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1894-1908 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescence autism development female puberty Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by impaired social communication and poor adaptation to change; thus, pubertal development may be precarious. Pubertal timing and tempo were measured in 244 youth (7.9% Black, 83.3% White, and 8.7% multiracial) with ASD (N = 140) and typical development (N = 104). Pubertal development was measured using Tanner staging of Genital (G, males), Breast (B, females), and pubic hair (PH) in both sexes at Year 1 (10-13 years), Year 2 (11-14 years), and Year 3 (12-15 years). Nonlinear mixed effects models analyzed interindividual differences in timing and tempo. For both sexes, ASD and higher body mass index were associated with earlier pubertal timing. Males generally exhibited faster tempo than females. Linear regression models did not show associations between pubertal timing and internalizing symptoms at time three. Findings showing advanced pubertal maturation in ASD youth suggest greater risk of psychological, social, and physiological challenges. LAY SUMMARY: Youth with ASD have difficulty in social communication and adaption to change, thus puberty may be a challenging transition. The study examined onset (timing) and progression (tempo) of puberty over three years, using physical exam, in 244 adolescents with and without ASD, enrolled at ages 10-13. ASD youth started puberty earlier, while males generally progressed at a faster pace. Further examination of puberty in ASD should identify impact on social, behavioral, and mental health outcomes.

Titre : Gender diversity in autistic and neurotypical youth over adolescence and puberty: A longitudinal study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rachael A. MUSCATELLO, Auteur ; Melissa CYPERSKI, Auteur ; Eleonora SADIKOVA, Auteur ; E. Kale EDMISTON, Auteur ; Trey MCGONIGLE, Auteur ; Rachel CALVOSA, Auteur ; Simon VANDEKAR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1450-1463 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Recent research in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has suggested a higher prevalence of gender diversity in individuals diagnosed with ASD. Adolescence is a critical period for the consolidation of gender identity, yet the extent to which the experience of gender diversity is stable over adolescence and puberty in autistic youth is poorly understood. The aim of the study was to examine the consistency of gender diversity using the gender diversity screening questionnaire for self- and parent-report of youth (GDSQ-S, GDSQ-P) over a four-year longitudinal study of pubertal development in youth with ASD (N = 140, 36 assigned-female-at birth (AFAB)) and typical development (TD, N = 104, 58 assigned-male-at-birth [AMAB]) and their parents. The extent to which diagnosis (ASD vs. TD), assigned sex (AFAB vs. AMAB) and developmental level (age, puberty) predict GDSQ trajectory over time was explored. There was a significant diagnosis by sex-assigned-at-birth by age interaction for GDSQ-S Gender Diversity, p = 0.002, showing higher scores in autistic AFAB youth over adolescence, and TD AFAB showing initially lower, then increasing levels over adolescence. For GDSQ-P, Gender Incongruence was significantly different between the groups, p = 0.032, showing higher incongruence for autistic AFAB around age 10, decreasing between age 12-14 before increasing again, while TD AFAB evidence the inverse trend. AMAB trends were stable. The significant diagnostic, developmental and sex-based differences indicate AFAB youth experience greater gender diversity that evolves over development. Findings suggest gender identity formation is nuanced and may be influenced by pubertal progression, hormonal patterns, and psychosocial factors. Results underscore the need for enhanced understanding of the unique, dynamic profiles of females-assigned-at-birth.

A pilot randomized clinical trial (RCT) of a peer-mediated, theatre-based intervention with established efficacy in youth with ASD was examined in autistic adults. The final sample consisted of forty-seven 18-to-40-year-old participants randomized to the experimental (EXP N = 23) or waitlist control (WLC N = 24) condition. A multimodal, social interdependent model was employed to examine social competence changes in brain (incidental face memory (IFM) using event-related potentials), cognition (Wechsler Memory Scale-III), behavior (Contextual Assessment of Social Skills) and function (Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS); Adaptive Behavior Assessment Scale (ABAS) Social Composite). Using analysis of covariance in which pretest was controlled in the model, posttest between-group differences were observed on IFM (p = 0.016, 2 = 0.139, d = 0.79) and several social and adaptive functional (SRS, ABAS) outcomes in social communication and interaction (SCI) (p = 0.019, 2 = 0.121, d = -00.45), communication (p = 0.044 2 = 0.09, d = -00.31), and motivation (p = 0.001, 2 = 0.229, d = -0.79) domains. At two-month follow-up, gains in social motivation remained (p = 0.041, 2 = 0.100, d = -0.77). The results offer preliminary support for a unique theatre-based social skills intervention for autistic adults who have few treatment options to enhance social competence.

Consent for publication: Not Applicable. Competing interests: The authors declare no competing interests. Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) regulates 'automatic' functions such as heart rate, and alterations may have significant impacts on health outcomes. Cardiovascular measures of autonomic function such as heart rate variability are of interest as biological markers in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The interplay between the ANS and physical health establishes a need to examine cardiovascular autonomic functioning in youth with and without ASD over development. The current study aimed to identify change in autonomic function and balance across the parasympathetic and sympathetic branches over time as a function of diagnosis, age, pubertal development, and physical health status. METHODS: The study included 244 ASD (N = 140) or neurotypical (NT) (N = 104) youth, ages 10 to 13 years at enrollment and followed over four years. Resting state autonomic functioning was measured using respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA; parasympathetic) and pre-ejection period (PEP; sympathetic). Autonomic balance and regulation were also examined as outcomes. Linear mixed models tested between- and within-group differences in the primary autonomic outcomes as well as the influence of pubertal development, body weight, and medication use. RESULTS: Baseline models showed diagnostic differences, with lower parasympathetic regulation, in youth with ASD, but no differences were observed for the other three outcomes. Adding body mass index (BMI) percentile and medication use removed the statistically significant diagnostic effect, while both variables were significantly related to lower RSA and overall autonomic regulation. Parasympathetic function (RSA) was stable over age and pubertal stage, while a notable decrease in sympathetic control (increased PEP) was found for age and pubertal stage. BMI percentile at enrollment significantly predicted autonomic function, while change in BMI over time did not. CONCLUSIONS: Minimal research to date has explored physical health (e.g., BMI) and autonomic outcomes in ASD. The current study observed few group differences yet demonstrates important effects of physical health on ANS function in both ASD and neurotypical youth. Findings further emphasize a need to focus on individual traits such as BMI and medication use to elucidate the extent to which autonomic differences are related to health status, irrespective of diagnostic category, across the lifespan.
