Categorizing and identifying preferred interests in autistic toddlers / Kirsty L. COULTER ; Rebecca P. THOMAS ; Marianne L. BARTON ; Diana L. ROBINS ; Deborah A. FEIN in Autism Research, 17-7 (July 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 17-7 (July 2024) . - p.1487-1500 Titre : Categorizing and identifying preferred interests in autistic toddlers Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kirsty L.

FEIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1487-1500 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Preferred interests are characteristic of autism spectrum disorder and are reported by parents starting at an early age. However, limited research has explored the presentation of preferred interests in toddlerhood. Previous literature suggests that both the intensity and type of preferred interests held by autistic individuals differ from those held by peers with developmental delay and no diagnosis and that autistic interests are more unusual in nature. While preferred interests are seen in typical child development, previous research suggests that the presence of preferred interests in children with no diagnosis declines with age. Literature also indicates that the sex and cognitive ability of autistic children influences preferred interests. Identification of early preferred interests commonly held by autistic toddlers could serve as a useful clinical indicator of future diagnosis. This article explored whether diagnostic group, age, sex, and cognitive ability predict the likelihood that parents reported preferred interests in children aged 12-36?months with diagnoses of autism, developmental delay, and those with no diagnosis. Additionally, we explored potential diagnostic group differences in interest type. Results suggest that diagnostic group, but not age, sex, or cognitive ability, predicts the likelihood that parents report preferred interests. No differences in the type of interests among diagnostic groups were identified. These results support the use of preferred interests as an early sign of autism but suggest that interest type may not be a helpful clinical indicator of autism in toddlerhood.

Does Treatment Fidelity of the Early Start Denver Model Impact Skill Acquisition in Young Children with Autism? / Ashley ZITTER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-4 (April 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 53-4 (April 2023) . - p.1618-1628 Titre : Does Treatment Fidelity of the Early Start Denver Model Impact Skill Acquisition in Young Children with Autism?

COULTER, Auteur ; Aubyn C. STAHMER, Auteur ; Diana L. ROBINS, Auteur ; Giacomo VIVANTI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1618-1628 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is increasing evidence supporting the effectiveness of the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) for children on the autism spectrum. However, substantial variability in response to the ESDM has been reported across participants. We examined the plausible yet untested hypothesis that variations in the fidelity level of therapists delivering the intervention contribute to variability in children?s response to the ESDM. Videotaped sessions (n=40) of toddlers on the autism spectrum who received the ESDM from trained therapists were coded to obtain measures of therapist fidelity and children?s learning in response to the therapists' instruction. Variations in overall fidelity, along with variations in most items included in the ESDM fidelity checklist, contributed to the children?s learning response during the sessions.

DSM-5 symptom expression in toddlers / Kirsty L. COULTER in Autism, 26-6 (August 2022)

Dr. Robins sits on the  advisory board of Quadrant Biosciences Inc. Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children with autism show more social-communication symptoms and repetitive behaviors than children with typical development or those diagnosed with other developmental disorders; however, non-autistic children often show some behaviors that are associated with autism. We compared the behavioral reports from caregivers of children in these three groups to identify the behaviors that were specific to autism. Children with autism were found to show more of these behaviors, and behaviors that are particularly indicative of autism were identified. These behaviors included social symptoms (approaching others to interact, showing things, looking back while showing, responding to an approaching child, spontaneous imitation) and repetitive behavior symptoms (specific, inflexible play, unusual body movements, strong specific interest, carrying around an unusual object, sensory seeking, and sensory hyper-reactivity).These findings may aid professionals in determining the most appropriate diagnosis for a child between the ages of 12 and 36months.
