Socioeconomic factors and autism among 16- to 30-month-old children: Evidence from a national survey of China / Muqing CAO in Autism, 27-5 (July 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 27-5 (July 2023) . - p.1283-1294 Titre : Socioeconomic factors and autism among 16- to 30-month-old children: Evidence from a national survey of China Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Muqing CAO, Auteur ; Li LI, Auteur ; Hein RAAT, Auteur ; Amy VAN GRIEKEN, Auteur ; Xin WANG, Auteur ; Lizi LIN, Auteur ; Qiang CHEN, Auteur ; Jin JING, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1283-1294 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism;socioeconomic factors;toddlers Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We examined the association of socioeconomic status with the diagnosis of autism during 16-30?months of age. Using data from a national survey in China, we included 6049 children (55.6% male) in the final analysis, among which 71 of them were clinically diagnosed with autism. Adjusted for covariates, the odds ratios for having the diagnosis of autism (2.46, 95% confidence interval: [1.32, 4.59]) among children whose mother?s level is "junior middle school or below" were significantly higher than children whose mother?s level is "college or above." Among children of lower educated mothers, there is a higher risk of being diagnosed with autism at a young age. We recommend more support for families with a low socioeconomic status to early detect, diagnose, and manage autism. Lay abstract Does being born in a family of high socioeconomic status mean a higher risk of being diagnosed with autism? The evidence from the Asian area is lacking. This research was conducted among 6049 toddlers who went through an evaluation-diagnose procedure of autism and whose parents were surveyed during the national survey of China, 2016-2017. Parents reported their education levels, occupations, family income, and ethnic background. We recruited the toddlers and parents from kindergartens, communities, and hospitals in five geographically representative areas of China. On average, these toddlers were 23?months of age. We found toddlers whose mothers had less than 9?years of education (junior middle school or below) had 2.46 times the chance to get a diagnosis of autism, compared with toddlers whose mothers had more than 15?years of education (college or above). We also found that 1.17 toddlers could be diagnosed with autism in each 100 Chinese toddlers. These findings have important implications for providing support to families that have low socioeconomic status, especially families with a mother who did not complete 9?years of education. Early detection programs focused on children from low socioeconomic backgrounds should be promoted.

The association between motor coordination impairment and restricted/repetitive behaviors in autistic children: The partial mediating effect of executive function / Chengkai JIN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 99 (November)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 99 (November) . - 102053 Titre : The association between motor coordination impairment and restricted/repetitive behaviors in autistic children: The partial mediating effect of executive function Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Chengkai JIN, Auteur ; Tingfeng GU, Auteur ; Bijun SHI, Auteur ; Xin WANG, Auteur ; Jin JING, Auteur ; Muqing CAO, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102053 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Motor coordination  Motor impairment  Restricted/repetitive behaviors  Executive function  Autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background It has been strongly argued that impaired motor function contributes to the restricted/repetitive behaviors (RRBs) of autistic children, but the mechanism exploration of these claims has been limited by the absence of potential confounders such as executive function. Method We investigated the role that executive function (EF) plays in the relationship between motor coordination, EF, and RRBs in a school-aged autism population (n = 188, age = 7.42 Â+ 1.46 years, 86.7% males) via a structural equation model in a statistically robust way. The Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire, Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function, and Restrictive Behavior Scale-Revised were collected to measure motor coordination, EF, and RRBs, respectively. Results Among the participants, 33.5% (n = 63) were classified as intellectual disability, 46.8% (n = 88) had EF dysfunction and 35.1% (n = 66) had motor coordination impairment. We found a direct effect of motor coordination impairment on RRBs among children with ASD and without intellectual disability (Î2= -0.334, p<0.001), as well as an indirect effect through EF, which was a partial mediator of the relationship (Î2= â’0.140, p = 0.001). Conclusions Motor coordination impairment should be included in the routine evaluation of autism surveillance and rehabilitation procedure, to address the ASD children who need additional support. It is important to add motor skills and motor coordination training in the daily intervention of autism, which could also improve EF and decrease RRBs in these children.
