Titre : Childhood language skills as predictors of social, adaptive and behavior outcomes of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ana MIRANDA, Auteur ; Carmen BERENGUER, Auteur ; Inmaculada BAIXAULI, Auteur ; Belén ROSELLÓ, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102143 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder Structural language skills Pragmatics Follow-up Socio-adaptive skills Behaviour problems Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Children with autism, including those without intellectual disability (ASD-ID), experience poor social and adaptive development in adolescence. Although language difficulties are commonly identified in children ASD-ID, there has been little empirical research that has analyzed the influence of these difficulties in social, adaptive and behavioural outcomes in adolescence. Methods and procedure Structural and pragmatic language of 45 children with ASD-ID were assessed at childhood (aged 7-11) through The Children Communication Checklist (CCC-2) completed by parents. More than four-years later, in the follow-up, prosocial behaviour and peer relationships, daily living and socialization skills and behavioural difficulties were evaluated. Results Multiple regression analysis exploring the relationships between structural and pragmatic language and the different developmental outcomes, showed that pragmatic language significantly predicted all three domains, especially stereotyped language and use of context. However, structural language (semantics in particular) only accounted for a significant proportion in the variance in prosocial behaviour and socialization skills. Conclusions and implications Taken together, these findings indicate that structural language and, particularly pragmatic language, are relevant predictors of ASD social and behavioural outcomes in adolescence. Therefore, a detailed language assessment might be an important target of ASD diagnostic practice for improving the development of children with ASD-ID.

Titre : Parenting Stress in Autistic and ADHD Children: Implications of Social Support and Child Characteristics Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Eva ROSA-MARTÍNEZ, Auteur ; Soledad GÓMEZ, Auteur ; Cristina SANTAMARINA-SIURANA, Auteur ; Carmen BERENGUER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2284-2293 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : High levels of parenting stress have been detected in mothers of children with Autism (ASD) and children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) comparing with mothers of typically developing (TD) children. The current study explored the implications of social support (confidant and affective support) and child characteristics (emotional, behavioral and sleep problems) on parenting stress in ASD and ADHD. Furthermore, the differences between mothers of children with autism, ADHD and TD on the studied variables were examined.A total of 120 mothers of 30 TD children, 47 with ASD without intellectual disability and 43 with ADHD collaborated in the study. Significant differences were found between clinical and TD groups in parenting stress, social support, and child characteristics.Correlation analysis in the group with ADHD revealed that parental stress correlated significantly with social support and with children?s emotional problems. In the ASD group, parental stress also correlated significantly with children?s sleep and behavioral problems. Moreover, multiple regressions showed that confidant support was a significant predictor of parenting stress in both clinical groups.The findings provide new insights to consider social support as a fundamental part of treatments for parenting stress in mothers of children with ASD and ADHD.

Considering the impact of sleep disorders on development and daily functioning, it is important to know which treatments are considered effective in literature. This systematic review and meta-analysis study specifically aimed to investigate the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions for the treatment of sleep disorders in autistic children and adolescents without intellectual disability. Search across PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science were identified 11 randomized controlled trial studies published between 2012 and 2024 that met the inclusion criteria. The results indicate that the interventions considered (Behavioral/psychological, Physical activity, and Somatosensory sleep interventions) significantly improve sleep parameters in this population (p < 0.05). Objective data from actigraphy show an increase in total sleep time and sleep efficiency and a reduction in sleep onset latency. The results also show an improvement in sleep quality assessed through the Children?s Sleep Habits Questionnaire filled out by parents. This study is one of the first to examine through a meta-analysis the positive impact of non-pharmacological therapies in the treatment of sleep disorders in autistic children and adolescents without intellectual disability. Alternative treatments are essential, particularly for those who are intolerant to medication, as it allows clinicians to provide effective interventions tailored to this population.Lay Abstract Sleep disorders are common in people on the autistic spectrum and can affect their development, daily function, and overall well-being. This study examined the effectiveness of non-pharmacological intervention to improve sleep in autistic children and adolescents without intellectual disability. We considered 11 studies of non-pharmacological treatments for autistic children and adolescents. The results indicate that these interventions help to improve several sleep parameters, either by increasing, for example, the total time and quality of sleep, or by reducing the time needed for falling asleep. These approaches offer important treatment options especially for those cases where medication is not feasible, allowing physicians and specialists to propose more targeted and safer solutions for managing sleep difficulties in this population.

Titre : Sleep problems in children with autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: A comparative study and effects on communication skills Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Carmen BERENGUER, Auteur ; Inmaculada BAIXAULI, Auteur ; Eva ROSA, Auteur ; Simona DE STASIO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.355-365 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Sleep disturbances are highly prevalent among children with neurodevelopmental disorders, like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hiperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The first objective of this study is to examine the differences in sleep problems between a group of children with ASD without intellectual disabilities, a group with ADHD and a typically developing (TD) group. A second objective is aimed at analyzing the effects of sleep problems and symptom severity on their communication skills. Participants were 122 children between 7 and 12?years old distributed in three groups: 32 TD children, 47 children with ASD and 43 children with ADHD, matched on age and intelligence. Parents completed different questionnaires that measured sleep disturbances and communication skills. Findings show significant differences between the clinical groups and the TD group in most types of sleep disorders. Moreover, the group with ADHD showed significantly more sleep breathing disorders and hyperhidrosis in comparison with ASD and TD, as well as more total sleep problems. In contrast to ASD, the predictive power of sleep problems on communication difficulties was greater in the group with ADHD. The results of the mediation analysis indicate that in both groups, sleep problems partially mediate the relationship between symptoms and communication. This investigation highlights the need of considering sleep disorders when assessing communication skills in ASD and ADHD, given its indirect influence in this domain. Understanding the sleep dysfunctions of both conditions and their repercussions is crucial to develop adjusted interventions.
