Explosive, oppositional, and aggressive behavior in children with autism compared to other clinical disorders and typical children / Susan DICKERSON MAYES in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-1 (January-March 2012) . - p.1-10 Titre : Explosive, oppositional, and aggressive behavior in children with autism compared to other clinical disorders and typical children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Susan DICKERSON MAYES, Auteur ; Susan L. CALHOUN, Auteur ; Richa AGGARWAL, Auteur ; Courtney N. BAKER, Auteur ; Santoshkumar MATHAPATI, Auteur ; Robert ANDERSON, Auteur ; Christopher PETERSEN, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.1-10 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Explosive  Oppositional  Aggressive  Autism  ADHD Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Maternal ratings of explosiveness, opposition, and aggression were analyzed in 1609 children 6–16 years of age. Behavior problems were common in autism, ADHD-Combined type, and depression, whereas children with ADHD-Inattentive type, anxiety disorder, and acquired brain injury did not differ from typical controls. More than 40% of children with autism, ADHD-Combined type, and depression met criteria for oppositional-defiant disorder (ODD), and less than 15% did in the other groups. Male gender and low SES increased the risk of behavior problems, but correlations were small between behavior problems and age and IQ. Our findings have implications for new DSM-V diagnostic categories and criteria. The DSM-V needs to clarify whether or not an additional diagnosis of ODD should be made in children with autism who meet ODD criteria. The proposed DSM-V states that ADHD and temper dysregulation disorder with dysphoria not be diagnosed in autism, but does not mention ODD. Our study also suggests that diagnoses of temper dysregulation disorder with dysphoria and prepubertal bipolar disorder may be redundant to a diagnosis of ODD.

We, therefore, used a drumming methodology to examine rhythmic bimanual coordination in children diagnosed with ASD (M = 47.3 months) and age-matched typically developing (TD) children (M = 42.6 months). Both groups were instructed to drum on a pad in two required phases: in-phase (drumsticks striking the pad simultaneously) and anti-phase (drumsticks striking in alteration). Analysis revealed that TD children were more able than children with ASD to stay in the required phase relationships for both in-phase and anti-phase coordination. Movement variability was higher for children with ASD than TD children. Imitation ability of the ASD group was somewhat related to their performance on the task. We discuss the implications that deficits in bimanual (intra-personal) coordination may have for social and interpersonal coordination in children with ASD.

Although prior studies have examined the clinical efficacy of PECS, none have experimentally evaluated its manualized training structure. We experimentally evaluated the effects of training during each of the 6 phases of PECS with 7 children with developmental or language disorders. For all 7 participants, PECS responses consistently increased only after training was completed for each of the first 4 phases, but increases in PECS responses occurred during tests of Phases 5 and 6 as soon as training was completed in Phase 4. Consistent with prior research, PECS was taught in a short period of time and required few prerequisite skills. However, 3 of the 7 participants had difficulty with some aspects of training and were able to acquire the targeted skills only after procedural modifications were made.

This meta-analysis evaluates 16 behavioural studies reporting on a total of 133 children and adults with various variants of the syndrome who were offered structured physical activities either in an individual or a group context. The effects on social and motor deficiencies, two of the three primary symptom clusters of ASD, were normalized to afford a quantitative evaluation. Results pertaining to communication deficits were insufficient to permit classification. All activity programmes yielded significant progress on the measures assessed, but the individual programmes elicited significantly more improvement than the group interventions in the motor and, more surprisingly, also in the social domain. Although overall sample sizes were small, the combined results do permit the tentative conclusion that in terms of motor performance and social skills children and adults with ASD benefit most from individual exercise interventions. Further research of the impact of individual and group interventions on communication deficits in particular as well as studies gauging the extent to which exercise effects depend on ASD symptom severity are warranted.

The study of geographic differences in the prevalence of disability among Taiwanese population / Jin-Ding LIN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)

In average, the disability prevalence was 42.06‰ (range = 31.06‰–80.04‰ in different areas) of the general population during the past 8 years. We found that the disability prevalence in general population (R2 = 0.991; p < 0.001), disability prevalence in men (R2 = 0.992; p < 0.001) and in women (R2 = 0.991; p < 0.001) were significantly increased in curve tests of the study. The disability number were more populous in north or west urban areas (such as Taipei County, Taipei City, Taoyuan County, Taichung County, Kaohsiung City), however, those areas of higher disability prevalence were more likely to locate in east and central remote areas (such as Taitung County = 80.04‰; Yunlin County = 71.95‰; Hualien County = 71.59‰; Chiayi County = 63.51‰ and Yilan County = 59.91‰). The study highlights that the uneven distribution of disability prevalence will bring challenges of health and social welfare services for this group of population. We suggest the authorities should scrutinize the disparity of disability prevalence in different geographic area to examine the equality of social welfare resources distribution in Taiwan.

In average, the disability prevalence was 42.06‰ (range = 31.06‰–80.04‰ in different areas) of the general population during the past 8 years. We found that the disability prevalence in general population (R2 = 0.991; p < 0.001), disability prevalence in men (R2 = 0.992; p < 0.001) and in women (R2 = 0.991; p < 0.001) were significantly increased in curve tests of the study. The disability number were more populous in north or west urban areas (such as Taipei County, Taipei City, Taoyuan County, Taichung County, Kaohsiung City), however, those areas of higher disability prevalence were more likely to locate in east and central remote areas (such as Taitung County = 80.04‰; Yunlin County = 71.95‰; Hualien County = 71.59‰; Chiayi County = 63.51‰ and Yilan County = 59.91‰). The study highlights that the uneven distribution of disability prevalence will bring challenges of health and social welfare services for this group of population. We suggest the authorities should scrutinize the disparity of disability prevalence in different geographic area to examine the equality of social welfare resources distribution in Taiwan.

Current status of research on autism spectrum disorders and offending / Svend Erik MOURIDSEN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)

Ghaziuddin et al., 1991 M. Ghaziuddin, L. Tsai and N. Ghaziuddin, Violence in Asperger syndrome. A critique. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 21 (1991), pp. 349–354. Ghaziuddin et al. (1991) reviewed the published literature on this topic from 1944 to 1990 and concluded that there was no clear link between Asperger syndrome (AS) and violent crime. They suggested that people with AS hardly were more likely to commit violent crime than the rest of the population. The present review provides an update on the issues in the earlier review mentioned and presents new issues that have emerged in the past two decades. Currently, there is still no body of evidence to suppose that people with ASD are more prone to commit offences than anyone else. However, a small number of serious crimes can be linked to the core features of ASD. Co-morbid psychiatric disorders are important risk factors for offending in people with ASD. Studies of referred samples have suggested considerable differences in offending among subgroups of people with ASD. Offending has rarely been reported in childhood autism, but is more common in atypical autism (AA) and AS. Literature suggests that people with ASD are potentially overrepresented within the criminal justice system, and that failure to detect ASD among offenders is not uncommon. Insofar as people with AA and AS have offended, it has typically been connected with arson and sexual abuse. But due to lack of valid community based studies of offending relating to people with ASD, these findings must be interpreted with caution.

The psychometric properties of this widely used and well-researched measure have not been evaluated in samples of youth with ASD. This study evaluated the CBCL's internal structure, scale reliability, criterion-related validity, and diagnostic accuracy using archival data from a well-characterized sample of youth with ASD (N = 122). Confirmatory factor analyses supported the unidimensionality of the CBCL's syndrome scales and its internalizing–externalizing factor structure. Significance tests indicated that many scales discriminated between two subgroups: a group of individuals with ASD + EBD and a group with ASD alone. Diagnostic accuracy analyses indicated that the CBCL had good sensitivity but low specificity for detecting co-occurring disorders. Results supported the use of the CBCL in conjunction with other clinical data when assessing for EBD in youth with ASD.

We examined the internal consistency on 66 mothers of children with ASD who completed the PEP3-CR. Inter-respondent reliability was examined on 46 pairs of mothers and fathers who completed the PEP3-CR independently within one week. Moreover, 64 children were administered the Psychoeducational Profile-third edition Performance Test (PEP3-PT) and 20 children and their parents were administered the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS) to examine the convergent and divergent validity of the PEP3-CR. The Cronbach's alpha of the PEP3-CR subtests, ranging from 0.83 to 0.85, indicated sufficient internal consistency. The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) of the two parents, ranging from 0.66 to 0.79, indicated moderate inter-respondent reliability. The correlations between the PEP3-PT, CARS, VABS and the PEP3-CR supported the convergent and divergent validity of the PEP3-CR. Therefore, the PEP3-CR is a reliable and valid caregiver report for assessing adaptive functioning and autistic behaviors in children with ASD.

Moreover, the nature of these differences has been particularly hard to identify. This study examined one possible contributor to these perceived differences: motor planning. We examined the ability of children and adolescents with ASD to imitate prosodic patterns in comparison to a group with learning disabilities (LD) and a typically developing (TD) comparison group. Overall, we found that both the ASD and LD groups were significantly worse at perceiving and imitating prosodic patterns than the TD comparison group. Similar to previous studies using non-imitative speech, participants with ASD showed a significantly longer duration of utterances than the two comparison groups when attempting to imitate an intonation pattern. The implications of differences in duration of utterances are discussed. This study also highlights the importance of using clinical comparison groups in studies of language performance in individuals with ASD.

Few studies have conducted formal preference assessments to identify the consequences used for compliance, which may partly explain treatment failures, and still fewer have examined the impact of programmed reinforcement for compliance to high-p requests. The present study first investigated the effects of high-p request sequences, with and without programmed reinforcement, on compliance to low-p requests using a reversal design with three children with autism. Preferred stimuli were identified via formal reinforcer preference assessments, and compliance, latency to compliance, and task completion time were measured. Results demonstrated high-p request sequences were most effective in increasing compliance and reducing compliance latency and task completion time when implemented with programmed reinforcement. Generalization probes conducted with a second trainer indicated that compliance occurred for all but one of the participants’ low-p requests. The further effects of inter-instruction intervals (10 s and 5 s) were examined using a combined alternating treatments and reversal design with one participant. Results demonstrated high-p request sequences were most effective in increasing compliance when implemented with 5 s inter-instruction intervals and with programmed reinforcement.

While genetics has been the most studied of all topics, applied behavior analysis (ABA) has also received a great deal of attention, and has arguably yielded the most promising results of any research area to date. The current paper provides a review of recent trends in ABA research with respect to autism. Among the areas that are receiving the most attention include early intervention, parent training, functional assessment, challenging behaviors, independent living skills, social skills training, and parent training. The implications of these data are discussed.

While genetics has been the most studied of all topics, applied behavior analysis (ABA) has also received a great deal of attention, and has arguably yielded the most promising results of any research area to date. The current paper provides a review of recent trends in ABA research with respect to autism. Among the areas that are receiving the most attention include early intervention, parent training, functional assessment, challenging behaviors, independent living skills, social skills training, and parent training. The implications of these data are discussed. En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.rasd.2011.03.014 Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=146

The impact of familial autism diagnoses on autism symptomatology in infants and toddlers / Alison M. KOZLOWSKI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)

Currently, the theory with the most empirical support is the interaction of multiple genes. Many studies have provided evidence that as the incidence of ASD increases so do genetic similarities. However, very little research has focused on the presentation of ASD symptomatology in those individuals with or without ASD diagnoses who have biological relatives with or without ASD diagnoses. The aim of the current study was to first examine the percentage of toddlers with and without ASD who had biological relatives with ASD. Next, the impact familial ASD had on ASD symptomatology within infants and toddlers with and without diagnoses of ASD was investigated. In the first study, 438 toddlers with an ASD diagnosis and 1,071 who were atypically developing without an ASD diagnosis were examined. A greater percentage of toddlers with ASD were noted to have a biological relative with an identified ASD in comparison to atypically developing toddlers. In the second study, no significant differences emerged between groups dependent on familial ASD of symptoms of autism as measured by the Baby and Infant Screen for Children with aUtIsm Traits (BISCUIT). As such, despite previous research indicating a strong genetic link to ASD, this link is undoubtedly complex and not necessarily related to ASD symptomatology. Suggestions for further research are provided.

Sequential meta-analysis to determine the sufficiency of cumulative knowledge: The case of early intensive behavioral intervention for children with autism spectrum disorders / Sofie KUPPENS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)

Unfortunately, traditional meta-analytic applications fail to answer the question whether enough cumulative knowledge is available to draw convincing statistical conclusions. Leaving questions regarding the sufficiency of cumulative knowledge unaddressed may lead to inefficient use of limited resources or to the dissemination of spurious treatment benefit. Sequential meta-analysis or SMA provides a statistical framework to determine the sufficiency of cumulative knowledge in a meta-analysis, but is relatively unknown in mental health or disability fields. In this article, we introduce SMA and demonstrate its application by resynthesizing research findings on the effectiveness of early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) for children with autism reported in five published meta-analyses. The results illustrate the additional information that can be gained by including a sequential approach in research synthesis. SMA may serve as a valuable tool to systematically build and interpret a cumulative knowledge base on treatment effectiveness in the field of developmental disabilities.

This preliminary study investigates physiologic arousal in children with high functioning autism (HFA, n = 19) compared to a comparison group (n = 11) before, during, and after the Trier Social Stress Test. The HFA group was more likely to have a decrease in salivary cortisol following the stressor, while the comparison group was more likely to have an increase (p = .02). However, there was no difference in electrodermal activity, a measure of sympathetic arousal, or vagal tone, a measure of parasympathetic activity, between groups. These findings implicate a differential neuroendocrine response to social stress in children with HFA despite similar sympathetic and parasympathetic responses during a stressor. Further studies are required to substantiate this finding.

Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) screening at 18 months of age predicts concurrent understanding of desires, word learning and expressive vocabulary / Kristyn WRIGHT in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)

The current studies examine the concurrent validity of the M-CHAT in its ability to predict 18-month-olds’ performance on theory of mind and word learning tasks. In Experiment 1, infants’ understanding of desires was tested using a modified food request task. Experiment 2 assessed infants’ ability to learn novel words. Results indicate that infants’ score on the M-CHAT significantly predicts their performance on both the desire understanding and the novel word learning task. As expected, the number of items endorsed on the M-CHAT also relates to infants’ expressive vocabulary at 18 months of age. Taken together, these findings confirm the concurrent validity of the M-CHAT at the youngest age this measure can reliably be administered. Within a broader clinical context, the present results provide preliminary evidence that controlled laboratory tasks assessing early social cognitive and verbal abilities could be added to the battery of screening instruments for ASD.

This paper explored linguistic and conceptual skills in response to emotional stimuli presented as emotional faces, scripts (pictures) and interactive situations (videos). Participants with autism, Asperger syndrome and control participants were shown facial, pictorial and video representation of six basic emotions (happiness, anger, fear, sadness, surprise, disgust). They were asked to identify the emotion and to individuate possible causes of the emotional state. A semantic analysis was applied to verbal reports, focusing on labeling and conceptualization. Log-linear analyses showed different representations across the participants as a function of emotion, pathology and presentation modality. Autistic participants were able to correctly decode primary emotions while showing difficulties with surprise. In contrast, Asperger participants performance was more similar to control subjects’. Finally, when situational correlates were provided, it was evident a “facilitation effect” for the representation of emotions.

However, the research literature is inconsistent in identifying the specific features or aspects of EF that are affected in this population. This study investigated EF in AS using a bottom-up empirical method. Four visually mediated and three verbally mediated EF tasks from the Delis–Kaplan Executive Functioning System were administered to 33 adolescents with AS and 33 age- and gender-matched controls. Two-step cluster analysis was then used to derive subgroups. Diagnostic composition of these subgroups (AS versus control) was examined to provide empirical evidence of a performance bias towards verbal EF for the AS group. A two cluster solution best fits the data with 73% of the AS participants being classified into one cluster and 64% of the control participants classified into another. Assignment into cluster A was based primarily upon low performance on the four visual EF tasks whereas assignment into cluster B was based primarily upon good performance on the four visual EF tasks and one verbal EF task.

The survey was designed to provide a random sample of 113 children and adolescents (boys = 90, girls = 23) aged 7–14 years old attending autism-specific schools in Tehran in 2010. The findings revealed that 50.4% of these young children were in the limits of normal weight, but 8.7% were underweight, 13.3% were overweight, 11.5% were obese, and 15.9% were severely obese. There were significant associations between obesity and poverty level, age, sex and socioeconomic state. We conclude that with increase in the prevalence of ASD, there was found a growing rate of obesity in these children.

We also examine the relationship between comorbidity and children's cognitive functioning and gender. Children who received a diagnosis of ASD (n = 60) from a child psychiatric outpatient clinic in Mansoura (Egypt), Al-Ahsa (Saudi Arabia) and Amman (Jordan) were included in this study. Comorbid diagnoses were established with a clinical interview and a semi-structured clinical interview for children and adolescents (SCICA). In addition, for all patients the cognitive evaluation was measured given the range in age and level of ability. Sixty-three percent of the children were diagnosed with at least one comorbid disorder. The most commonly reported comorbid disorders were anxiety disorders (58.3%), ADHD (31.6%), conduct disorders (23.3%), and major depressive disorder (13.3%). Out of the total sample, Obsessive compulsive disorder was the most prevalent anxiety disorder (55%). Elimination disorders were also diagnosed in 40% of patients. These findings emphasize a wide variety of psychiatric comorbidity afflicting youth with ASD and may be important targets for intervention.

Studies are organized into four broad categories: (a) the response of individuals with ASD to robots or robot-like behavior in comparison to human behavior, (b) the use of robots to elicit behaviors, (c) the use of robots to model, teach, and/or practice a skill, and (d) the use of robots to provide feedback on performance. A critical review of the literature revealed that most of the findings are exploratory and have methodological limitations that make it difficult to draw firm conclusions about the clinical utility of robots.

We also compared these measures between the mothers and the fathers. We assessed 151 families with at least one child with autistic disorder and 113 families of typically developing children in Taiwan. Both parents completed the self-administered questionnaires measuring psychopathology, marital dyadic adjustment, and family function. Both parents of children with autism suffered from more psychopathology and less dyadic consensus than parents of typically developing children; mothers of children with autism, perceived less marital satisfaction, affection expression, family adaptability and cohesion than mothers of typically developing children. We also found that mothers of children with autism displayed more psychopathology and marital maladjustment than did the fathers. These findings highlight that parents of children with autism encounter more psychological problems, marital difficulties and family dysfunction, particularly their mothers.

Our study demonstrated that 847 children with autism were easily distinguished from 158 children with ADHD. All children with autism had 15 or more of the 30 Checklist for Autism Spectrum Disorder symptoms (mean 22), and none of the children with ADHD did (mean 4). Three of the symptoms were present only in children with autism. Almost all 30 symptoms were found in over half of the children with autism, whereas none were present in the majority of children with ADHD-Inattentive type (ADHD-I) or in children with ADHD-Combined type (ADHD-C) without comorbid oppositional-defiant disorder. In contrast, ADHD symptoms were common in autism. Children with low and high functioning autism and ADHD-C did not differ on maternal ratings of attention deficit, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. For children with normal intelligence, nonsignificant differences were found between children with autism, ADHD-C, and ADHD-I on neuropsychological tests including measures of attention, working memory, processing speed, and graphomotor skills.

Despite this, few studies have investigated the kinematic components of movement that may be disrupted in children diagnosed with these disorders. The current study investigated rapid aiming movements in 19 individuals diagnosed with HFA, 20 individuals diagnosed with AD and 18 typically developing (TD) controls. A novel touchscreen version of a Fitts’ aiming task was administered that required participants to make 10 reciprocal aiming movements between targets. Task difficulty was manipulated by varying the size and distance between targets. Movement time in the HFA and AD groups was comparable to TD controls. Children with HFA displayed more constant and variable error across repeated aiming attempts compared to the TD group that may be attributed to deficits in feedforward online refinement of movement. These findings are in accordance with previous gait, ocular motor, upper limb and neuroimaging studies that suggest that the cerebellum may underlie movement disturbance in individuals diagnosed with HFA. Additionally, differences in the nature of upper limb motor disturbance in HFA may serve as a useful future adjunct to clinical measures.

Factors associated with parental stress and satisfaction during the process of diagnosis of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Teresa AILING MOH in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-1 (January-March 2012) . - p.293-303 Titre : Factors associated with parental stress and satisfaction during the process of diagnosis of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Teresa AILING MOH, Auteur ; Iliana MAGIATI, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.293-303 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Diagnosis  Autism  Autism Spectrum Disorders  Stress  Satisfaction  Parents Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is complex and parents worldwide often experience difficulties and frustration during the diagnostic process. This study examined the duration of the diagnostic period, the number of professionals consulted, the relationship with the professional(s) and the perceived helpfulness of information provided in relation to how they impact on parental satisfaction and stress during the diagnostic process. The study also obtained professional perspectives regarding current diagnostic practices to understand aspects of the process which may be helpful in increasing professional confidence in diagnosing ASD. One hundred and two parents of 2–17 years old children and young people with ASD recruited from ASD special schools, intervention centres and hospitals in Singapore completed a survey, which included information on various aspects of the diagnostic process and measures of autism severity, parental stress and satisfaction. Seventeen professionals completed a similar survey. Parents from higher educational and socioeconomic backgrounds were more likely to raise concerns about their child's development at an earlier age. Higher parental stress was associated with more professionals consulted and lower perceived collaboration with professionals.

This study examined the duration of the diagnostic period, the number of professionals consulted, the relationship with the professional(s) and the perceived helpfulness of information provided in relation to how they impact on parental satisfaction and stress during the diagnostic process. The study also obtained professional perspectives regarding current diagnostic practices to understand aspects of the process which may be helpful in increasing professional confidence in diagnosing ASD. One hundred and two parents of 2–17 years old children and young people with ASD recruited from ASD special schools, intervention centres and hospitals in Singapore completed a survey, which included information on various aspects of the diagnostic process and measures of autism severity, parental stress and satisfaction. Seventeen professionals completed a similar survey. Parents from higher educational and socioeconomic backgrounds were more likely to raise concerns about their child's development at an earlier age. Higher parental stress was associated with more professionals consulted and lower perceived collaboration with professionals. Higher parental satisfaction was associated with higher perceived collaboration with professionals, higher perceived helpfulness of received information, lower severity of child ASD symptoms and lower levels of stress. Findings are discussed in relation to clinical practice guidelines and existing literature on the process and impact of diagnosis on families.

A multiple-baseline across participants design with baseline, video modeling, and follow-up phases was implemented. During baseline, the participants performed less than 40% of the task-analyzed steps correctly. When the video modeling intervention was introduced via an iPad®, both participants reached the 76–100% correct level on the task analysis and became more successful in using the word processor programs to check the spelling of words. Follow-up data showed 100% correct performance by both participants. The results suggest that the video modeling intervention, delivered via an iPad®, was effective in teaching two adolescents with ASD to check the spelling of words using common word processing programs.

A total of 82 (55 female and 17 male) adults with autism were contrasted with 282 members of the general population on their responses to an online survey of sexual knowledge and experiences. Findings revealed that individuals with ASD display an interest in sex and engage in sexual behaviours and showed no significant differences in breadth and strength of sexual behaviours and comprehension of sexual language when contrasted with non-ASD participants. However, despite these similarities, a higher rate of asexuality was found among individuals with ASD. In addition, the results of the current study indicated that females with ASD show a significantly lower degree of heterosexuality when compared to males with ASD. The results also suggested a higher degree of homosexuality among females with ASD although this effect did not reach significance.

Atypical visuomotor performance in children with PDD / Wim A.J.M. SCHLOOZ in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)

This was tested in children (aged 9–12 years) with pervasive developmental disorder (PDD; including PDD-NOS and Asperger syndrome), and two same-age control groups (Tourette syndrome and typical developers) using two tasks: a visual and non-visual tactile tracking task (modified from Hermelin and O’Connor, 1970 B. Hermelin and N. O’Connor, Perception and perceptual deficits, B. Hermelin, N. O’Connor, Editors , Psychological experiments with autistic children, Pergamon Press Ltd., Oxford (1970), pp. 24–60. Hermelin & O’Connor 1970 task) and the Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (VMI). Both tasks revealed marked differences between the PDD group and the controls. Confirming Hermelin and O’Connor's findings in ‘classical’ autism, the children with PDD were faster than the controls on the non-visual tracking task, whereas they performed similarly to the controls when they could see the tracks. However, VMI copy scores were lowest for the children with PDD, while their scores on the visual perception and motor coordination subtests did not differ from the controls. The results support observations of an atypical visuomotor performance in children with PDD, which appears to derive from a deviant use of visual information in planning and guiding movements.

Tactile responsiveness patterns and their association with core features in autism spectrum disorders / Jennifer H. FOSS-FEIG in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)

However, there are few studies that separate aberrant sensory responses by individual sensory modality to assess modality-specific associations between sensory features and core symptoms. Differences in response to tactile stimuli are prevalent in ASD, and tactile contact early in infancy is a foundation for the development of social and communication skills affected by ASD. We assessed the association between three aberrant patterns of tactile responsiveness (hyper-responsiveness, hypo-responsiveness, sensory seeking) and core symptoms of ASD. Both sensory and core features were measured with converging methods including both parent-report and direct observation. Our results demonstrate that for the tactile modality, sensory hypo-responsiveness correlates strongly with increased social and communication impairments, and to a lesser degree, repetitive behaviors. Sensory seeking was found to correlate strongly with social impairment, nonverbal communication impairment, and repetitive behaviors. Surprisingly, tactile hyper-responsiveness did not significantly correlate with any core features of ASD. This differential association between specific tactile processing patterns and core features provides an important step in defining the significance of sensory symptoms in ASD, and may be useful in the development of sensory-based approaches for early detection and intervention.

We undertook a systematic review of the diagnostic stability of ASD to summarise current evidence. A comprehensive search strategy was used to identify studies. Participants were children with ASD. Risk of bias was assessed by examining the sample selected, recruitment method, completeness of follow up, timing of diagnosis and blinding. Twenty three studies assessed diagnostic stability with a total of 1466 participants. Fifty three to100% of children still had a diagnosis of Autistic Disorder (AD) and 14–100% of children still had a diagnosis of another form of ASD at follow up. There is some evidence that Autistic Disorder is a reasonably stable diagnosis; however a significant minority of children will no longer meet diagnostic criteria after a period of follow up, particularly those diagnosed in the preschool years with cognitive impairment. Other Autism Spectrum Disorders have very variable stability between studies and clinicians when using this diagnosis need inform parents of its instability. This study supports the stricter diagnostic criteria in DSM-V. There is a need for long term, large population cohort studies measuring diagnostic stability.

In this study, 10 children, aged between 5.3 and 8.9 years of age, were taught to tact a set of private events (e.g., fun, bored, easy, hard) after engaging in selected preferred, and non-preferred, play activities. These ‘typical’ language exchanges were built into existing individual activity play schedules, and were designed to prompt a conversational unit after a play period of up to 10 min. This conversational unit was designed to serve as a conditioned reinforcer for the activity under observation. The results show that having access to a set of tacts for putatively private events could function as a conditioned reinforcer when teaching non-preferred play activities, reduced off-task play behavior, while revealing a measurable increase in spontaneous language, emitted both during the targeted play sessions.

It is also associated with various medical conditions, intellectual disability, comorbid psychopathology, and problem behavior. This is a concerning finding in that there may be a true increase in the disorder's prevalence and that it is associated with poor long-term outcomes. Fortunately, effective treatments exist that can alter the course of the disorder if administered early in a child's life. A method to facilitate early intervention is through the early screening of autism with instruments such as the Baby and Infant Screen for Children with aUtIsm Traits (BISCUIT). The primary purpose of the current investigation was to further develop the utility of the BISCUIT by creating an abbreviated scoring algorithm. Participants included 2168 children ages 17–37 with an autism spectrum disorder or atypical development enrolled in an early intervention program. Discriminant function analysis (DFA) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were conducted resulting in a 5 item scoring algorithm with comparable diagnostic accuracy to the existing scoring procedure. Implications for these data and directions for further research are discussed.

Fourteen males with AS and 16 controls aged 7–23 completed measures of motor skills, postural response to optic flow, and visual sensitivity to static form and coherent motion in random dot kinematograms and point-light walkers. No group differences were found in sensitivity to static form or coherent motion. However, significant group differences were found in visual sensitivity to human movement and postural responsivity to optic flow, which both correlated with motor skills. This may suggest difficulties in perception and production of movement and dysfunctional perceptual-motor linkages in AS.

The parents reported their children's sleep problems. Parents of children with ASD and ADHD reported more current and lifetime sleep problems of their children than parents of children with epilepsy, especially in snoring and restless legs syndrome. Current or lifetime sleep problems did not differ between children with ASD and children with ADHD, or between children with epilepsy and typically developing children. Demographic characteristics and medication status could not fully explain the increased risk of sleep problems in children with ASD and ADHD. Our findings lend evidence to support more sleep problems in children with ASD and ADHD than typically developing children. Our study adds that children with epilepsy do not.

A review of treatments for deficits in social skills and self-help skills in autism spectrum disorder / Lorna FLYNN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-1 (January-March 2012) . - p.431-441 Titre : A review of treatments for deficits in social skills and self-help skills in autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lorna FLYNN, Auteur ; Olive HEALY, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.431-441 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Social skills  Self-help skills Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Deficits in social skills and self-help skills present significant challenges for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Much research in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has been devoted to treatments for deficits in social skills and there exist a number of extensive reviews on the research in this area. Some research has also been conducted in the treatment of self-help skills although no comprehensive reviews of this research have been conducted. A combined acquisition of social and self-help kills is required by individuals diagnosed with ASD for successful independent living in society. The current literature review provides a comprehensive investigation and examination of studies focused on interventions for deficits in social skills or self-help skills in those with ASD.

Much research in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has been devoted to treatments for deficits in social skills and there exist a number of extensive reviews on the research in this area. Some research has also been conducted in the treatment of self-help skills although no comprehensive reviews of this research have been conducted. A combined acquisition of social and self-help kills is required by individuals diagnosed with ASD for successful independent living in society. The current literature review provides a comprehensive investigation and examination of studies focused on interventions for deficits in social skills or self-help skills in those with ASD. Twenty-two studies that met the inclusion criteria were chosen. Studies were categorised based on intervention. Key studies were defined as studies that added something novel to the literature, rather than replicating previous research. Each study was then evaluated on a number of aspects. All studies showed positive outcomes. Strengths, limitations and future recommendations are discussed.

To this end, we use anthropometric measurements (HC, body height, body weight) obtained at birth (T0), 1–2 months (T1), 3–5 months (T2) and 6–12 months (T3) from paediatricians and reported in the infant's ‘baby book’. Data indicate that at T2 and T3 HC was significantly greater in ASD group compared to TD, while from T1 weight was significantly smaller in ASD subjects compared to healthy infants. After controlling for weight and height, ASD HC shows an excessive rate of growth from birth. The abnormal HC growth is present in the majority of infants with ASD and could represent a biomarker that together with other clinical signs might promote an early ASD identification.

Group classroom instruction, consisting of lecture, video modeling, role-play and feedback with a simulated client, was sufficient for seven participants and in vivo feedback was necessary for four participants. Accurate performance was maintained at a 4 week follow-up for 8 participants. Data show that following skill acquisition there was an increase in the variety of stimuli assessed which presents an opportunity to identify diverse preferences. Additionally, each brief paired-stimulus preference assessment took less than 30 s to complete, suggesting that it is practical for therapists to regularly assess preference during their therapy sessions.

Currently, the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) and the Baby and Infant Screen for Children with aUtIsm Traits-Part 1 (BISCUIT-Part 1) are the most widely researched ASD measures in early childhood. However, the M-CHAT provides many false positive results as it is solely used as a screening instrument as opposed to a diagnostic measure, while the BISCUIT-Part 1 appears to have more diagnostic fidelity. The current study examined 243 toddlers who failed the M-CHAT screener and were therefore referred for further evaluation. Upon further evaluation, 141 of the toddlers were diagnosed with an ASD while the remaining 102 were not. Characteristics differentiating these two groups on the M-CHAT, BISCUIT-Part 1, and Battelle Developmental Inventory, Second Edition (BDI-II) were examined with analyses supporting the hypotheses that children in the ASD group had higher M-CHAT and BISCUIT-Part 1 scores in conjunction with lower BDI-II scores. Based on these results, the incremental predictive validity of the M-CHAT was assessed; the BISCUIT-Part 1 was found to be more accurate in arriving at ASD diagnoses. The implications of these findings are discussed.

This study was designed to investigate whether treatment gains were associated with the number and type of stimuli that function as reinforcers for 21 preschool-aged children with autism. Children with a large repertoire of socially mediated reinforcers benefited more from treatment. Children with many stereotypic behaviors, assumed to be an effect of a larger repertoire of automatic reinforcers, exhibited less benefit from treatment. These two dimensions taken together explained 49.9% of the variation in treatment gains for children after one year of EIBI.

Clinical charts of Japanese outpatients with ASD (n = 552), ADHD (n = 87), and TS (n = 123) were reviewed. Parental age of individuals with ASD, ADHD, or TS was compared with parental age in the general population (GP) of Tokyo after adjusting for year of birth. Paternal and maternal ages were significantly higher in persons with ASD and ADHD, but not those with TS. In final steps of stepwise logistic regression analysis, both maternal and paternal age were associated with ASD after controlling for the other parent's age, gender, and birth order. In cases where the presence or absence of ART could be ascertained (ASD n = 467; ADHD n = 64; TS n = 83), the rate of ART in cases of persons with ASD (4.5%) was 1.8 times the frequency expected in the GP, while ART was not present in cases of persons with ADHD and TS. These preliminary results remain tentative pending replication with larger, community-based samples.

In cases where the presence or absence of ART could be ascertained (ASD n = 467; ADHD n = 64; TS n = 83), the rate of ART in cases of persons with ASD (4.5%) was 1.8 times the frequency expected in the GP, while ART was not present in cases of persons with ADHD and TS. These preliminary results remain tentative pending replication with larger, community-based samples.

Are typically-developing siblings of children with an autism spectrum disorder at risk for behavioral, emotional, and social maladjustment? / Theodore S. TOMENY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-1 (January-March 2012) . - p.508-518 Titre : Are typically-developing siblings of children with an autism spectrum disorder at risk for behavioral, emotional, and social maladjustment? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Theodore S. TOMENY, Auteur ; Tammy D. BARRY, Auteur ; Stephanie H. BADER, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.508-518 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Siblings  Externalizing  Internalizing  Social functioning Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Existing literature regarding the adjustment of siblings of children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remains inconclusive, with some studies showing positive adjustment, others showing negative adjustment, and others showing no difference when compared to siblings of typically-developing children. For the current study, 42 parents of a child with an ASD and a typically-developing sibling (ASD group) and 42 parents of two typically-developing siblings (control group) provided data via online questionnaires. Both diagnostic category and autism symptom severity were tested as possible moderators, but neither produced significant interactions with either externalizing behaviors or internalizing symptoms in the target child when predicting externalizing behaviors, internalizing symptoms, or social problems in the sibling. However, across the overall sample (ASD and control groups), maladjustment – particularly internalizing symptoms – in the target children significantly related to maladjustment in their siblings. Thus, these findings suggest that having a sibling with an ASD is neither a risk nor protective factor for maladjustment among typically-developing siblings above and beyond the relation between maladjustment among siblings in general. Given some of the mixed findings in the literature, other possible moderators that may put siblings of a child with an ASD at specific risk should be considered in future research.

Oral language impairments in developmental disorders characterized by language strengths: A comparison of Asperger syndrome and nonverbal learning disabilities / M.E. STOTHERS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)

Children and adults with AS and NLD share pragmatic weaknesses, atypical social behaviours, and some cognitive features. To date, potential similarities between these disorders in oral language have not been directly examined in the literature. A review of the available research suggests that adequate structural language is another area of similarity for AS and NLD. However, systematic investigations of phonology, morphology, or syntax were not found; thus, the evidence for largely intact structural language in these disorders is indirect. The review also pointed to a common semantic profile across both disorders, characterized by strong vocabulary breadth in the face of limited depth and organization. These higher-order problems with semantics are proposed to be consistent with theoretical accounts of poor integrative abilities in AS and NLD, and to contribute to the well-documented pragmatic difficulties in these disorders.

Measures included the Autism Diagnostic Interview—Revised (ADI-R), IQ, demographics, and parent-reported treatment history (occupational, speech, and behavioral therapy). Baseline (age 4–5) and current social–communication symptom severity scores were calculated using 15 ADI-R items. The majority (95.4%) demonstrated improvement (between age 4–5 and current), 2.2% had no change, and 2.4% worsened. Controlling for age and initial severity, those who had received therapy had the best outcomes, greater therapy intensity predicted improvement, and the response to therapy was greatest among those with higher nonverbal IQ.

Psychological adjustment and sibling relationships in siblings of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Environmental stressors and the Broad Autism Phenotype / Michael A. PETALAS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)

This study investigated a diathesis-stress model, whereby the presence of Broad Autism Phenotype features in the typically developing siblings might interact with family-environmental risk variables to predict sibling functioning (5–17 years of age) of children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), their child with an ASD, and their own psychological well-being. Sibling adjustment was associated with the extent of behaviour problems in the child with an ASD and with the extent of the sibling's Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP) features. Sibling relationships were more negative when the child with an ASD had more behaviour problems and when there was evidence of critical expressed emotion in the family environment. Siblings with more BAP features, who had brothers/sisters with an ASD and a greater number of behaviour problems, had more behaviour problems themselves. Siblings with more BAP features who had parents with mental health problems reported more sibling relationship conflict.

Participants included 137 families and their preschool-aged children with ASD from four states: Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, and North Carolina. Our results indicated child and family characteristics did impact the type and dosage of services used. In the school setting, Hispanic children received a smaller dose of SLT and OT than White children. Children with greater cognitive impairments received more SLT and those with more severe symptoms of autism received a larger dosage of OT. In the private setting, higher levels of caregiver stress were related to increase usage of OT. Caregivers with a higher socioeconomic status were more likely to enroll their children in OT and ABA. Implications for practice and policy are discussed, including the need to better understand and remediate differences in service provision across socioeconomic and minority status.
