Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 17-2 (February 2024) . - p.355-365 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.

The implication of sleep disturbances on daily executive functioning and learning problems in children with autism without intellectual disability / Irene LACRUZ-PÉREZ ; Eva ROSA ; Simona DE STASIO ; Nora CHOQUE-OLSSON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 114 (June 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 114 (June 2024) . - p.102403 Titre : The implication of sleep disturbances on daily executive functioning and learning problems in children with autism without intellectual disability Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Irene LACRUZ-PÉREZ, Auteur ; Eva ROSA, Auteur ; Simona DE STASIO, Auteur ; Nora CHOQUE-OLSSON, Auteur Année de publication : 2024 Article en page(s) : p.102403 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Children  Daily executive functioning  Learning problems  Mediation model  Sleep disturbances Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often have sleep disturbances, executive functioning difficulties, and learning problems. The aim of this study was twofold. First, to examine the quality of sleep in children with ASD without intellectual disability and typically developing (TD) children. Second, to explore the implication of sleep disturbances in the association between daily executive functioning and learning problems in children with ASD without intellectual disability. Method The sample included 47 children with autism without intellectual disability and 32 TD children. Parent-reported questionnaires were used to assess participants' sleep disturbances, daily executive functions, and learning problems. All statistical analyses performed were adjusted for age, IQ, and medication. Results As expected, the prevalence of sleep disturbances was significantly higher in the ASD group than in the TD group. Regarding the second aim of the study, the total score of sleep disturbances was significantly associated with learning problems and the metacognition subdomain of executive functioning in children with autism without intellectual disability. In turn, executive functions and learning problems were also significantly associated. Finally, sleep disturbances were found to mediate the relationship between global executive functioning and learning problems in children with ASD without intellectual disability. Conclusions The findings suggest that sleep disturbances are common in children with autism, and that they play a mediating role in the association between executive functions and learning problems. Therefore, sleep should be a crucial aspect of interventions to improve the learning and academic performance of school-aged children with ASD without intellectual disability.
