Participants were 149 toddlers with ASD and their mothers, assessed at 2 annual time points. A cross-lag analysis showed that anxiety symptoms increased over time while SOR remained relatively stable. SOR positively predicted changes in anxiety over and above child age, autism symptom severity, NVDQ, and maternal anxiety, but anxiety did not predict changes in SOR. Results suggest that SOR emerges earlier than anxiety, and predicts later development of anxiety.

Anxiety Disorders and Sensory Over-Responsivity in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Is There a Causal Relationship? / Shulamite A. GREEN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 40-12 (December 2010)

Currently, it is unclear what causal mechanisms may exist between SOR and anxiety. We propose three possible theories to explain the association between anxiety and SOR: (a) SOR is caused by anxiety; (b) Anxiety is caused by SOR; or (c) SOR and anxiety are causally unrelated but are associated through a common risk factor or diagnostic overlap. In this paper, we examine support for each theory in the existing anxiety, autism, and neuroscience literature, and discuss how each theory informs choice of interventions and implications for future studies.

Early sensory over-responsivity in toddlers with autism spectrum disorders as a predictor of family impairment and parenting stress / Ayelet BEN-SASSON in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 54-8 (August 2013)

CARTER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.846-853 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD  toddlers  sensory over-responsivity  family impairment  parenting stress Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Sensory over-responsivity (SOR) affects many individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), often leading to stressful encounters during daily routines. Methods: This study describes the associations between early SOR symptoms and the longitudinal course of restrictions in family life activities and parenting stress across three time-points in families raising a child with ASD (n = 174). Covariates were child diagnostic severity, emotional problems, and maternal affective symptoms. At time 1 mean chronological age was 28.5 months. Children were administered the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) and Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL). Parents completed the Infant Toddler Sensory Profile (ITSP), Infant-Toddler Social Emotional Assessment (ITSEA), Beck Anxiety Index (BAI), and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Inventory (CES-D) at time 1; and the Parenting Stress Index (PSI) and Family Life Impairment Scale (FLIS) at the three annual time-points. Results: Latent Growth Curve Models indicated that higher SOR scores on the ITSP at time 1 were associated with higher initial levels of family life impairment and parenting stress and with a smaller magnitude of change over time. These associations were independent of severity of ADOS social-communication symptoms, MSEL composite score, ITSEA externalizing and anxiety symptoms, and maternal affective symptoms as measured by the BAI and CES-D. On average FLIS and PSI did not change over time, however, there was significant individual variability. Concurrently, SOR at time 1 explained 39–45% of the variance in family stress and impairment variables. Conclusions: An evaluation of SOR should be integrated into the assessment of toddlers with ASD considering their role in family life impairment and stress.

A Meta-Analysis of Sensory Modulation Symptoms in Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Ayelet BEN-SASSON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 39-1 (January 2009)

Results from 14 studies indicated a significant high difference between ASD and typical groups in the presence/frequency of sensory symptoms, with the greatest difference in under-responsivity, followed by over-responsivity and sensation seeking. Three moderators that reduced the variability in findings among studies were: chronological age, severity of autism, and type of control group. Sensory differences were highest for studies of children ages 6–9 years, samples with more than 80% with an autism diagnosis, and compared to a CA matched versus a MA or DD matched group. It is important to consider these moderators in the design of studies and interventions addressing sensory symptoms.

Pediatric allied healthcare professionals’ knowledge and self-efficacy regarding ASD / Osnat ATUN-EINY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 47 (March 2018)

An adapted ASD knowledge and self-efficacy questionnaire was developed, validated, and used to assess clinicians’ ASD knowledge and self-efficacy as a function of ASD experience and profession. Method 234 clinicians including 82 physical therapists, 85 occupational therapists, and 67 speech-language pathologists completed the survey. Thirty-five professionals had ASD experience. Results The questionnaire showed high internal and test-retest reliability. Factor analysis demonstrated good construct validity. Clinicians demonstrated adequate knowledge of basic assumptions related to the course and nature of ASD, and its phenotypic heterogeneity. Clinicians generally rejected statements describing misconceptions about the etiology, prognosis, and treatment of ASD. Knowledge gaps were found with regards to comorbid conditions and specific interventions. Knowledge about early ASD markers was independent of pediatric or ASD experience. Clinicians appeared to have more accurate knowledge about the core diagnostic features than they did about the helpful and irrelevant features. A moderate level of clinical self-efficacy regarding the ability to screen, and treat children with ASD was reported. The ASD experienced professionals had significantly higher mean knowledge and self-efficacy scores, apart from confidence in parent communication, than the inexperienced professionals. No substantial differences in ASD knowledge were found between professions. Conclusions The questionnaire developed showed promising psychometric properties for measuring both current ASD knowledge pertaining to a broad range of areas and clinical self-efficacy in the field. Knowledge gaps should be addressed in the professional training of clinicians who treat children with ASD and encounter children who are at risk of developing ASD.
