Gender Difference in the Association Between Executive Function and Autistic Traits in Typically Developing Children / Meixia DAI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-3 (March 2019)

The children were divided into the high- autistic-trait (HAT) and low-autistic-trait (LAT) groups based on their total autistic traits. Results suggested that there were gender differences in specific autistic traits in children with LAT. There were gender-specific associations between EF and autistic traits in children with HAT: the set shifting of EF predicted difficulties in social awareness in boys; whereas all the EF components predicted difficulties in social communication and social cognition in girls. These findings may have implications for developing customized interventions that are targeted at specific autistic deficits in males and females.

Prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder in the United States is Stable in the COVID-19 Era / Xin WANG in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-8 (August 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 53-8 (August 2023) . - p.3309-3312 Titre : Prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder in the United States is Stable in the COVID-19 Era Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Xin WANG, Auteur ; Xuchu WENG, Auteur ; Ning PAN, Auteur ; Xiuhong LI, Auteur ; Lizi LIN, Auteur ; Jin JING, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3309-3312 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although the United States (US) have been monitoring the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) prevalence, whether the prevalence has continued to increase, decrease, fluctuate or reached a stable level remained unclear during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have requested the 2016-2021 National Survey of Children s Health (NSCH) data in the United States to estimate weighted ASD prevalence and assess linearity/nonlinearity in the time trend. We did not observe linear or nonlinear trends of the ASD prevalence during the 2016-2021 periods. The current ASD prevalence experienced a 0.3% drop from 2019 to 2020 but a 0.3% uptick in 2021, suggesting a stable trend during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings shed lights on the need for the modified strategy of monitor ASD prevalence during the COVID-19 era.

Psychometric properties of the chinese version of autism spectrum quotient-children's version: A sex-specific analysis / Fan SUN in Autism Research, 12-2 (February 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 12-2 (February 2019) . - p.303-315 Titre : Psychometric properties of the chinese version of autism spectrum quotient-children's version: A sex-specific analysis Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Fan SUN, Auteur ; Meixia DAI, Auteur ; Lizi LIN, Auteur ; Xin SUN, Auteur ; Aja Louise MURRAY, Auteur ; Bonnie AUYEUNG, Auteur ; Jin JING, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.303-315 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  autism-spectrum quotient  autistic traits  children  sex differences Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A Simplified Chinese translation of the Autism Spectrum Quotient-Children's Version (AQ-C) is needed for research in mainland China. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a condition that differs in presentation and prevalence by sex. Thus, evaluating the psychometric validity of the AQ-C in males and females is an important step in its validation. The present study aims to develop a Chinese translation of the parent-report AQ-C, and test its psychometric properties among Mandarin Chinese speaking boys and girls. A total of 1,020 non-clinical children and 134 children with ASD were assessed. Factor analyses were performed for the whole sample, as well as for girls and boys separately. A 30-item, 5-factor model (the Chinese AQ-C) showed adequate goodness of fit (root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] = 0.037; comparative fit index [CFI] = 0.907; Tucker-Lewis index [TLI] = 0.901) for the whole sample. According to parents' reports, non-clinical boys had significantly higher scores than non-clinical girls on the Chinese AQ-C. Sex-specific factor structures were identified resulting in a 4-factor model with 32 items for girls (the Chinese AQ-Girls), and a 4-factor model with 34 items for boys (the Chinese AQ-Boys). The cut-off scores of the Chinese AQ-C, AQ-Girls, and AQ-Boys were 44.5, 42.5, and 46.5, respectively. These three Chinese versions of the AQ-C all showed satisfactory internal consistency (alpha = 0.786-0.840) and concurrent validity with the Social Responsiveness Scale (r = 0.789-0.814) for the total scale. Differences have been found in the sex-specific factor structures of the AQ-C which would be more reliable to use for future research when measuring autistic traits in the general population. Autism Res 2019, 12: 303-315 (c) 2018 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: This study developed Chinese versions of the Autism Spectrum Quotient-Children's Version (AQ-C) in Chinese boys and girls together and separately. The AQ-C showed good psychometric properties in boys and girls together and separately. There were differences in sex-specific factor structures of the AQ-C. These results suggest that the sex-specific Chinese versions of the AQ-C provide reliable and valid measurement of autistic traits.

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 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.
