Titre : Characterizing the Relationship Among the Social Competence Elements in Autistic Adolescents Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Alexandra P. KEY, Auteur ; Trey MCGONIGLE, Auteur ; Jinyuan LIU, Auteur ; Rachael A. MUSCATELLO, Auteur ; Philip GABLE, Auteur ; Susan WHITE, Auteur ; Matthew D. LERNER, Auteur ; Blythe A. CORBETT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1999-2010 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism behavior brain cognition social competence theory of mind Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : ABSTRACT Individuals with autism spectrum disorder have significant difficulties in social competence. This study provided empirical evaluation of the theoretical model by Kennedy and Adolphs (2012) positing that social competence relies on an interconnected network of four components: social brain, cognition, behavior, and functioning. Data from 243 youth (69 female, 174 male), age 10?17?years, were used to test the hypothesized mediation effect of social cognition (Theory of Mind) from social brain (event-related potential markers of face perception and memory) to social behavior (Contextual Assessment of Social Skills) and functioning (Child Behavior Checklist). An additional analysis evaluated whether the structure of the social competence model varied based on the biological sex of the autistic participants. The findings support the conceptual model of social competence where the social brain's contributions to social behavior and functioning are mediated by social cognition, with an additional direct path between the brain and behavior. The relationship among the four components of social competence is not significantly different for autistic males and females. Social competence is best represented as a network of direct and indirect connections among the neural, cognitive, and behavioral components. Thus, focusing on any single element is not sufficient for effective design of novel assessment and treatment approaches in autism. The findings also highlight the importance of self-initiated active engagement with social cues as a contributor to successful social behavior and functioning in autism.

Titre : Gender diversity in autistic and neurotypical youth over adolescence and puberty: A longitudinal study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rachael A. MUSCATELLO, Auteur ; Melissa CYPERSKI, Auteur ; Eleonora SADIKOVA, Auteur ; E. Kale EDMISTON, Auteur ; Trey MCGONIGLE, Auteur ; Rachel CALVOSA, Auteur ; Simon VANDEKAR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1450-1463 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Recent research in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has suggested a higher prevalence of gender diversity in individuals diagnosed with ASD. Adolescence is a critical period for the consolidation of gender identity, yet the extent to which the experience of gender diversity is stable over adolescence and puberty in autistic youth is poorly understood. The aim of the study was to examine the consistency of gender diversity using the gender diversity screening questionnaire for self- and parent-report of youth (GDSQ-S, GDSQ-P) over a four-year longitudinal study of pubertal development in youth with ASD (N = 140, 36 assigned-female-at birth (AFAB)) and typical development (TD, N = 104, 58 assigned-male-at-birth [AMAB]) and their parents. The extent to which diagnosis (ASD vs. TD), assigned sex (AFAB vs. AMAB) and developmental level (age, puberty) predict GDSQ trajectory over time was explored. There was a significant diagnosis by sex-assigned-at-birth by age interaction for GDSQ-S Gender Diversity, p = 0.002, showing higher scores in autistic AFAB youth over adolescence, and TD AFAB showing initially lower, then increasing levels over adolescence. For GDSQ-P, Gender Incongruence was significantly different between the groups, p = 0.032, showing higher incongruence for autistic AFAB around age 10, decreasing between age 12-14 before increasing again, while TD AFAB evidence the inverse trend. AMAB trends were stable. The significant diagnostic, developmental and sex-based differences indicate AFAB youth experience greater gender diversity that evolves over development. Findings suggest gender identity formation is nuanced and may be influenced by pubertal progression, hormonal patterns, and psychosocial factors. Results underscore the need for enhanced understanding of the unique, dynamic profiles of females-assigned-at-birth.

Titre : Social context in stress and autism: comparing physiological profiles across two social paradigms in youth with and without autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rachael A. MUSCATELLO, Auteur ; Trey MCGONIGLE, Auteur ; Simon VANDEKAR, Auteur ; Blythe A. CORBETT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102354 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Heart rate Cortisol Social Stress Interaction Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The social world is often stressful for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Research shows youth with ASD demonstrate physiological hyperreactivity to some social stressors (e.g., interaction) but not others (e.g., evaluation); therefore, this study examined diagnosis (ASD or typical development (TD)), social context, perceived anxiety, and physiological responsivity across multiple stress systems; namely, the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis and autonomic nervous system (ANS). Method This study examined 244 ten-to-thirteen-year-olds with ASD (N = 140) or TD (N = 104). Physiological responses, measured by salivary cortisol, heart rate (HR), and respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), were assessed before and after a social evaluative threat paradigm (Trier Social Stress Test; TSST) and social interaction (Trier Social Stress Test- Friendly; TSST-F). Mediation models examined the relationships between anxiety, diagnosis, and physiology. Results Significant three-way interactions were observed for cortisol (p = 0.007) and HR (p = 0.002), suggesting diagnostic groups respond differently across context and time points. There was no significant interaction for RSA (p = 0.149), although ASD youth had significantly lower RSA overall (p = 0.038). State and trait anxiety did not mediate the relationship between diagnosis and physiology (all p > 0.05). Conclusions Findings emphasize the critical role of context and a multisystem approach in examination of physiological social stress in youth with ASD. Results provide a foundation to elucidate unique response patterns across physiological systems to more precisely identify those with heightened physiological arousal across social contexts. It is proposed that future identification of subtypes may ultimately inform approaches for enhancing social engagement.

There is limited research as to whether such patterns are consonant in youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a condition marked by social challenges, dysregulation of the HPA axis, and higher rates of depression setting the stage for enhanced vulnerability during this developmental period.The current study interrogated diurnal cortisol by examining (1) cortisol expression longitudinally over the pubertal transition between autistic and neurotypical youth, (2) the trajectory of diurnal cortisol and the unique contributions of age vs. puberty, and (3) potential sex differences. As hypothesized, results indicate autistic compared to typically developing youth demonstrate a shallower diurnal slope and elevated evening cortisol. These differences were in the context of higher cortisol and flatter rhythms based on age and pubertal development. Also, sex-based differences emerged such that females in both groups had higher cortisol, flatter slopes, and higher evening cortisol than males. The results show that despite the trait-like stability of diurnal cortisol, HPA maturation is impacted by age, puberty, sex, as well as an ASD diagnosis.

Consent for publication: Not applicable. Competing interests: The authors declare no competing interests. Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Behavioral endocrinology examines associations between hormone expression, such as testosterone and cortisol, and behavior; both of which have been implicated in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The overarching aim of the study was to examine the intersection of sex-based (Male, Female), hormonal (testosterone, cortisol), diagnostic (ASD, typically developing, (TD)) and developmental (age, puberty) patterns over four years of a longitudinal study in a well-characterized sample of youth (spanning 10 to 17 years). METHODS: In year 1 (Y1), participants included 140 autistic youth (36 females, 104 males) and 105 TD youth (46 females, 59 males.). For Y4, participants included 83 ASD and 77 TD youth. Immediate waking morning salivary samples were collected for hormone assay. Mixed effects and ordinary linear regression models were used, as well as mediation effects of hormones on behavior. RESULTS: For cortisol, there was a significant diagnosis by sex by age interaction (X(2) = 15.62, df = 3, p = 0.0014, S = 0.2446) showing that autistic females evidence higher morning cortisol that increased over developmental progression compared to TD females. Moreover, ASD males had stunted testosterone growth compared to TD males (Est = 0.1530, p = 0.0130). Regarding biobehavioral associations in year 1, diagnosis (X(2) = 80.72, df = 1, p < 0.0001, S = 0.5704) and cortisol (X(2) = 14.42, df = 3, p = 0.0024, S = 0.2159) were associated with social problems; however, there were no effects for testosterone on diagnosis or a mediation effect on social problems. There was a significant effect of diagnosis on CBCL Aggression score (X(2) = 34.39, df = 1, p < 0.0001, S = 0.3692) independent of hormonal measurements. LIMITATIONS: Despite the large sample, it was not fully representative based on race, ethnicity or intellectual profile. Attrition of the sample is also acknowledged especially between portions of Y2 and Y3 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, only the immediate morning salivary samples were used due to lower and undetectable concentration levels of testosterone in younger and female children. CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, these findings underscore the need to elucidate the biobehavioral patterns that emerge during the complex adolescent transition for autistic youth to determine how they impact clinical and long-term outcomes. The unique hormonal trajectories may be related to differences in advanced pubertal progression and affective states found in autistic females.
