Online administration of the ADOS for research with adolescents and adults in response to the pandemic / Inge-Marie EIGSTI in Autism Research, 15-10 (October 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 15-10 (October 2022) . - p.1909-1916 Titre : Online administration of the ADOS for research with adolescents and adults in response to the pandemic Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Inge-Marie EIGSTI, Auteur ; Rebecca P. THOMAS, Auteur ; Mackenzie STABILE, Auteur ; Anusha MOHAN, Auteur ; Mary F.S. DIECKHAUS, Auteur ; Jason CRUTCHER, Auteur ; Elise TAVERNA, Auteur ; Deborah A. FEIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1909-1916 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Covid  autism  diagnosis  online  videoconference Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study evaluates an online ADOS-2 Module 4 administration. Adolescents and adults with (n = 24; 7 females) and without (n = 13; 5 females) a history of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) completed the ADOS-2 Module 4 via videoconference. Parents or caregivers completed the Parent/Caregiver Form of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales and the Achenbach Adult Behavior Checklist. The ADOS-2 was reviewed and scored by five trained clinicians and supervised by a senior clinician with established research reliability. The autistic group's scores differed on ADOS total (Calibrated Severity Score, WPS instrument) and domain scores, KSADS domain scores, and Achenbach T-scores. Inter-rater reliability was "moderate" (κ = 0.732), and percentage item-wise agreement was r = 0.69. The online ADOS-2 showed significant convergence with parent-reported assessments of ASD-relevant symptoms and characteristics, suggesting it was a valid assessment. While any online assessments must be used with caution, results suggest that the approach described here could have sufficient validity and reliability to fill the urgent need to assess and evaluate ASD symptomatology, as one component of a thorough clinical evaluation of ASD-related behaviors. LAY SUMMARY: In this exploratory study, we asked whether it was possible to give the ADOS-2 to adolescents and adults in a completely online way. Results showed that expert clinicians agreed on 69% of ADOS-2 items; also, participants with autism had higher scores on all parts of the ADOS-2. The online ADOS-2 scores had strong and significant relationships with parents' reports of friendship and social skills. While we need more research that tests this method, this way of doing the ADOS-2 online may be useful for clinicians and researchers who have an urgent need to evaluate autism during the pandemic.

The interaction of fine motor, gesture, and structural language skills: The case of autism spectrum disorder / Elise C. TAVERNA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 86 (August 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 86 (August 2021) . - 101824 Titre : The interaction of fine motor, gesture, and structural language skills: The case of autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Elise C. TAVERNA, Auteur ; Tania B. HUEDO-MEDINA, Auteur ; Deborah A. FEIN, Auteur ; Inge-Marie EIGSTI, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101824 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Motor skills  Structural language  Vocabulary  Imitation  Gesture Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Motor skill differences have been consistently reported in individuals with ASD. Associations between motor skill and social communication skills have been reported in both typical development (TD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The current study extends these findings to characterize performance on a fine motor imitation task, probing skills as a predictor of social and communicative functioning, and co-speech gesture use. These research questions were addressed by a secondary analysis of data collected during a previous study characterizing a cohort of individuals who were diagnosed with ASD in early childhood but lost the autism diagnosis (LAD) by the time of adolescence. Fine motor imitation skills were compared between 14 individuals with LAD, 15 individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and 12 typically developing (TD) individuals. LAD and TD groups had more advanced fine motor imitation skills than the ASD group, and abilities were significantly associated with ASD symptoms and amount of gesture use (though there was a counterintuitive interaction between group and fine motor skill in the LAD and TD groups only, in which lower motor skills predicted more ASD symptoms; this relationship was of a small effect size and is likely driven by the compressed range of fine motor skills in these two groups). Findings suggest that fine motor skills normalize along with social communication skills and restricted and repetitive behaviors and interests in individuals who lose the ASD diagnosis, and that individuals with better fine motor abilities produce more co-speech gesture.
