However, collecting cognitive data from clinically administered assessments can add a significant burden to clinical research in ASD due to the substantial cost and time required, and it is often prohibitive in large-scale studies. There is a need for more efficient, but reliable, methods to estimate cognitive functioning for researchers, clinicians, and families. To examine the degree to which caregiver estimates of cognitive level agree with actual measured intelligence/developmental scores and understand factors that may impact that agreement, 1,555 autistic individuals (81.74% male; age 18?months?18?years) were selected from a large cohort (Simons Foundation Powering Autism Research for Knowledge, SPARK). Results suggest that querying parents about recent testing results and developmental diagnoses can provide valid and useful information on cognitive ability. The agreement of parental estimates varied with age, measured cognitive ability, autistic traits, and adaptive skills. In the context of large-scale research efforts, parent-reported cognitive impairment may be a good proxy for categorical IQ range for survey-based studies when specific IQ scores are not available, circumventing the logistical and financial obstacles of obtaining neuropsychological or neurodevelopmental testing.

Caregivers' views on cannabis use for their children with autism / Taylor T. SIVORI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 102 (April 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 102 (April 2023) . - p.102130 Titre : Caregivers' views on cannabis use for their children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Taylor T. SIVORI, Auteur ; Maclain CAPRON, Auteur ; Daniel GRAVES, Auteur ; Jill HARRIS, Auteur ; Roseann C. SCHAAF, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102130 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  ASD  Cannabis  Caregiver  Knowledge  Survey Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder impacting 1 in 44 children that is characterized by decreased social communication and problem behaviors. Despite the increasing accessibility of cannabis, there is limited guidance about its use and usefulness for autism. The purpose of this study is to query caregivers of autistic children about their experience, knowledge and interest in medical cannabis use for their children. Method Survey methodology was used to query caregivers of autistic children between ages five to ten years. Informants recruited through a large children?s hospital in New Jersey and the Autism Speaks website. Descriptive analyses of frequencies and percentages are reported and relationships among socio-demographic variables and survey responses were conducted. Results Of the 4385 surveys sent, 568 responded. Informants were primarily white or Latino, female, and without a college education. Most were not familiar with cannabis use in autism; 7.2 % had experience providing their child with cannabis. Information about cannabis was drawn mainly from the Internet. Eighty-five percent of participants reported that they were willing to try cannabis for their child with ASD to address difficulty focusing, hyperactivity, sensory sensitivities, and anxiety. About half of those respondents were concerned about interactions between cannabis and current medications. Conclusions Findings suggest a willingness among caregivers to use cannabis for their children with ASD, but a need for more informed guidance on this topic. More studies are needed to understand the utility of cannabis for autistic individuals; clear and reputable information about cannabis and ASD is needed.

Screening Options in Autism Telediagnosis: Examination of TAP, M-CHAT-R, and DCI Concordance and Predictive Value in a Telediagnostic Model / Amy S. WEITLAUF in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-9 (September 2025)

WARREN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3129-3139 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Tele-assessment of autism in early childhood has increased. However, it is unclear how autism screening tools (M-CHAT-R, DCI) function as part of tele-assessment and relate to a commonly used tele-assessment instrument, the TAP. 361 families from a clinically referred sample of children (mean age: 27.63 months, sd = 4.86 months) completed the M-CHAT-R and DCI prior to a tele-assessment visit utilizing the TAP. Data was collected on demographic background, measure scores, and diagnostic outcome. No significant differences in measure scores or diagnostic findings emerged in age at referral, age group, age at diagnosis, or child sex, ethnicity, or racial background. The M-CHAT-R and DCI correlated strongly and positively. Older age was associated with lower risk scores on screening instruments. Children with autism had significantly higher scores on all screener and subdomain scores, with the exception of DCI Behavior. Subdomains of the DCI emerged as the strongest predictor of diagnostic outcome. Both the DCI total score and the M-CHAT-R significantly related to diagnostic outcome and TAP score in this tele-assessment model, regardless of child age or sex. Findings also support use of the DCI for children under 24 months of age.
