Titre : Age-related parietal GABA alterations in children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Marilena M. DEMAYO, Auteur ; Ashley D. HARRIS, Auteur ; Yun Ju C. SONG, Auteur ; Izabella POKORSKI, Auteur ; Rinku THAPA, Auteur ; Shrujna PATEL, Auteur ; Zahava AMBARCHI, Auteur ; Emma E. THOMAS, Auteur ; Ian B. HICKIE, Auteur ; Adam J. GUASTELLA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.859-872 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) biomarker children magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) neurochemistry parietal lobe Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, and is essential to the balance of cortical excitation and inhibition. Reductions in GABA are proposed to result in an overly excitatory cortex that may cause, or contribute to, symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study employed a cross-sectional design to explore GABA+ differences in ASD and the impact of age, comparing 4-12 year olds with ASD (N = 24) to typically developing children (N = 35). GABA+ concentration was measured using edited magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the left parietal lobe. This study used a mixed model to investigate group differences between children with ASD and typically developing children. There was a significant difference in GABA+ levels between the groups, a significant effect of age and interaction between age and diagnostic group. The ASD group showed an association between GABA+ and age, with GABA+ levels gradually increasing with age (r = 0.59, p = 0.003). Typically developing children did not show age-related change in GABA+ concentration (r = 0.09, p = 0.60). By the age of 9, children with ASD showed GABA+ levels that were comparable to their typically developing peers. This study suggests that children with ASD have initially lower levels of GABA+ in the left parietal lobe compared to typically developing children, and that these initially lower levels of GABA+ increase with age in ASD within this region. It is suggested that this developmental shift of GABA+ levels within the left parietal lobe provides a possible explanation for the previously found reductions in childhood that does not persist in adults. LAY SUMMARY: This study measured levels of GABA in the left parietal lobe using magnetic resonance spectroscopy in children with ASD and typically developing children. GABA levels were initially lower in the ASD group, and increased with age, while GABA did not change with age in the typically developing group. This suggests that alterations in GABA signaling may be associated with ASD in childhood. Autism Res 2021, 14: 859-872. © 2021 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Titre : Atypical sensory processing features in children with autism, and their relationships with maladaptive behaviors and caregiver strain Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Zoe A M.

HICKIE, Auteur ; Adam J. GUASTELLA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1120-1129 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder/complications Autistic Disorder/complications Caregivers Child Humans Parents Perception autism spectrum disorder caregiver strain maladaptive behaviors pediatric sensory processing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Atypical sensory processing occurs in up to 97% of children on the autism spectrum. Children who are on the autism spectrum also commonly demonstrate challenging behaviors, and their caregivers report increased levels of strain in daily life. The aim of this study was to explore four sensory processing features; seeking, avoiding, sensitivity, and registration, and their relationships with maladaptive behaviors in children with autism, as well as with caregiver strain. Participants comprised 75 children with autism aged 7-12 years (M?= 7.81). Caregivers completed three questionnaire measures examining child sensory processing, maladaptive behaviors, and perceptions of caregiver strain. We found avoiding significantly associated with irritability. Avoiding also displayed the strongest relationship with global caregiver strain. Avoiding and seeking were strongly related to hyperactivity/noncompliance (components of maladaptive behavior). A multiple regression was performed to explore how atypical sensory processing features and maladaptive behaviors together predicted caregiver strain. Together, maladaptive behaviors and sensory features accounted for 58% of the variance in total caregiver strain. The only significant individual predictor of total caregiver strain was sensory avoiding, which uniquely accounted for 5.76% of the variation. The findings suggest that atypical sensory processing is associated with overall caregiver strain, above that explained by maladaptive behaviors. Implications for targeted support for the benefit of the child, parents and family unit are discussed. LAY SUMMARY: Children who are on the autism spectrum often have differences in sensory processing. These children also tend to show challenging behaviors, and their caregivers can experience increased stress. This study looked at how sensory processing difficulties relate to such behaviors and caregiver stress. We found that both sensory processing and challenging behaviors were related to the amount of stress caregivers felt. This suggests that interventions may benefit from looking at sensory processing features when considering how to help reduce challenging behaviors and caregiver stress.

One area not studied in detail is whether females and males with autism perform differently in tests of cognitive ability. The results of previous research are quite mixed. One explanation may be that some research comparing females and males with autism did not include a neurotypical control group for comparison. As a result, it is not clear whether the sex differences in cognitive ability observed in people with autism are similar to differences between neurotypical males and females. To better understand whether there are unique differences between males and females with autism, it is important to also compare them with neurotypical males and females. In our research, we included a neurotypical group and compared males and females with and without a diagnosis of autism. We found that the sex differences in autism are similar to what we observe in males and females without autism. Our study showed that compared with males, females (with and without autism) do better in assessments of processing speed, cognitive flexibility, verbal learning and memory and semantic fluency. Our results suggest that although females show different cognitive performance to males, these sex differences were not specific to the group with a diagnosis of autism.

Titre : Cognitive-Behavior Therapy for Social Anxiety Does Not Increase Reports of Camouflaging Behavior in Autistic Adults: Results From an Exploratory Study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Bruna B. ROISENBERG, Auteur ; Kelsie A. BOULTON, Auteur ; Emma E. THOMAS, Auteur ; Adam J. GUASTELLA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1896-1909 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : anxiety group therapy mental health psychological intervention treatment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : ABSTRACT Camouflaging has been defined as the masking or compensation of autistic traits during social interactions, often as a response to the stigma associated with autism and social expectations. Social anxiety has been closely linked to camouflaging, as autistic individuals may adopt camouflaging strategies to navigate social expectations and to reduce the risk of being negatively evaluated. Understanding the relationship between social anxiety and camouflaging in autism is essential for developing effective clinical interventions. This study investigated the effects of a modified Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) group intervention, the Engage Program, on camouflaging and social anxiety. Specifically, the objective was to determine whether the CBT program would reduce social anxiety symptoms and if this reduction would also be associated with improvements in camouflaging behaviours. Seventy-one autistic adults participated in an 8-week modified CBT group intervention for social anxiety. Camouflaging behaviors were assessed using the CAT-Q scale, and social anxiety levels were measured using three established and validated self-report measures. Pre- and post-intervention scores were analyzed to determine change following treatment, and correlations between social anxiety and camouflaging measures were explored. As expected, the CBT intervention program significantly reduced social anxiety symptoms across all measures, showing moderate effect sizes from pre- to post-treatment. However, no significant changes in camouflaging behaviors were observed from pre- to post-treatment. Despite this, reductions in social anxiety symptoms were correlated with decreases in camouflaging behaviours, particularly for the compensation and assimilation subscales. Autistic participants who showed the most benefit from therapy on social anxiety measures also showed the greatest reduction in their camouflaging scores from pre- to post-treatment. These findings suggest that improvements in social anxiety symptoms from CBT are also associated with reductions in camouflaging. Importantly, CBT did not lead to an increase in camouflaging behaviors in autistic adults. This study supports the overall benefits of CBT for autistic adults and suggests a need for more randomized controlled studies.

This group was compared to young adults presenting to the same service with primary mental health disorders (depression, n = 343; bipolar, n = 132; psychosis, n = 166; and anxiety, n = 303). This study also investigated the influence of mood symptoms on general health and functioning in the autism spectrum disorder group. Young autistic adults reported significant general health and functioning impairments that were of similar degree to those presenting with primary mental health disorders. Interestingly, the autistic group also reported similarly high levels of mood symptoms to those with primary depressive and anxiety disorders. In the autistic group, depressive symptoms were strongly associated with distress, quality of life, and work loss days, while stress symptoms were strongly associated with disability. This study highlights further research, and mental health services are required specifically targeting young autistic adults to address their significant unmet needs.
