Objectives This study aims to evaluate the preliminary feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a brief telehealth parent training program designed for children with ASD experiencing sleep disturbances. Methods This open-label trial involved 50 children aged 3 to 12 years with ASD and sleep issues. Participants underwent a four-session group telehealth parent training program targeting sleep disturbances, chronotype regulation, behavioral difficulties, and parent quality of life. A follow-up phone session was conducted one month after the intervention. Results Post-intervention analysis revealed a significant improvement in the parent-reported sleep questionnaire for children with ASD (Cohen's d = 0.64). Sleep logs indicated a statistically significant enhancement in sleep efficiency (Cohen's d = ?0.52). The parent-reported chronotype questionnaire showed significant changes at the one-month follow-up (Cohen's d = 0.48). No significant differences were observed regarding behavioral difficulties. Improvements in parent-reported health-related quality of life were noted (Cohen's d = ?0.79 post-intervention; Cohen's d = ?1.15 at one-month follow-up). Treatment fidelity was high, and participant satisfaction was elevated, reflecting perceived effectiveness and favorable cost-benefit ratio. Conclusions The brief telehealth parent training intervention demonstrates potential in improving sleep issues and regulating chronotype in children with ASD, with promising results in terms of feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy.

COVID-19 pandemic effects in people with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their caregivers: Evaluation of social distancing and lockdown impact on mental health and general status / Jorge LUGO-MARÍN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 83 (May 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 83 (May 2021) . - 101757 Titre : COVID-19 pandemic effects in people with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their caregivers: Evaluation of social distancing and lockdown impact on mental health and general status Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jorge LUGO-MARÍN, Auteur ; Laura GISBERT-GUSTEMPS, Auteur ; Imanol SETIEN-RAMOS, Auteur ; Gemma ESPAÑOL-MARTIN, Auteur ; Pol IBAÑEZ-JIMENEZ, Auteur ; Mireia FORNER-PUNTONET, Auteur ; Gara ARTEAGA-HENRIQUEZ, Auteur ; Albert SORIANO-DIA, Auteur ; Juan David DUQUE-YEMAIL, Auteur ; Josep Antoni RAMOS-QUIROGA, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101757 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder  COVID-19  Mental health  Caregivers  Pre-post design  Survey Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Among the difficulties associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are those related to adaptation to changes and new situations, as well as anxious-depressive symptoms frequently related to excessive environmental requirements. The main objective of this research is to study the psychological impact of the lockdown due to the social emergency situation (COVID-19) in children/adolescents and adults diagnosed with ASD. Participants were 37 caregivers of children/adolescents with ASD, also 35 ASD adults and 32 informants. Evaluation was conducted through a web survey system and included standardized clinical questionnaires (CBCL and SCL-90-R), which were compared with results before lockdown start, and a brief self-reported survey addressing the subjective perception of changes in daily functioning areas. The results revealed a reduction of psychopathological symptoms in both age groups, but only reaching statistical significance in the adult group, except for Somatization, Anxiety, and Obsessive-Compulsive domains. ASD severity Level 2 showed greater improvement after lockdown onset in the children/adolescent group when compared to ASD Level 1 participants. Younger adults (18–25 yoa) reported greater improvement than older adults (=>25 yoa). Survey results indicate an improvement of feeding quality and a reduction in the number of social initiations during the lockdown. Adult ASD participants perceived a decrease in stress levels after the lockdown onset, whereas caregivers reported higher stress levels at the same point in both age groups. Limitations included the small number of participants and a heterogeneous evaluation window between measures. Pyschopathological status after two months of social distancing and lockdown seems to improve in ASD young adult population.

The main objective of the present study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of eye-tracking studies in adults with ASD. A total of 22 studies were included for meta-analysis. Eyes and Non-Social regions proved better for discriminating between ASD and non-ASD adults, while fixation duration seems to be the outcome to choose. Active engaged tasks seem to reduce differences between ASD and non-ASD adults, regardless of the emotional content of the stimuli/task. Proportional fixation duration on eyes and non-social areas in non-active tasks (e.g. free viewing) seems to be the best eye-tracking design for increasing the sensitivity and specificity in ASD adults.
