Titre : Associations Between Parenting Stress and Quality Time in Families of Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rebecca S. BRADLEY, Auteur ; Grace L. STAPLES, Auteur ; Lauren B. QUETSCH, Auteur ; Lindsey S. ALOIA, Auteur ; Cynthia E. BROWN, Auteur ; Stephen M. KANNE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.829-840 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Increased stress among parents of youth with ASD has been well-documented. However, research on aspects of the parent-child relationship and subsequent links to parenting stress is limited. We assessed parents (N = 511) of youth with ASD to examine relations between parenting stress and parent-child quality time (amount of quality time, shared enjoyment, synchronicity). Elevated parenting stress was associated with less time spent engaging with youth in shared activities and decreased parent and child enjoyment during shared interactions. Parents with elevated stress reported engaging in shared activities and experiencing synchronicity with their child less often than parents below the clinical threshold. Future research should emphasize longitudinal efforts examining the directionality of this relationship to better inform family-focused intervention.

Titre : Gastrointestinal symptoms in autistic youth: Relations to age, sex, and functional impact Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Taylor E. RAMSEY, Auteur ; Cynthia E. BROWN, Auteur ; Marshall T. BEAUCHAMP, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202786 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Gastrointestinal symptoms Sex differences Functional impact Autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common among autistic youth and occur at higher rates than in non-autistic youth. However, there has been little research examining the functional impact associated with these symptoms. In addition, the relation between youth characteristics (i.e., sex and age) and GI symptoms remains poorly understood. Thus, this study examined relations between GI symptoms, functional impact, age, and sex in a large sample of autistic youth. Participants consisted of 2142 caregivers of autistic youth (ages 6–17; M = 11.07 years; SD = 3.17). Caregivers reported on their child’s GI symptoms and on the degree to which their youth’s overall GI symptoms were related to perceived daily and functional impact within the past week. We performed bivariate correlations to examine the relation between GI symptoms and functional impact, and how these variables were related to youth age. We performed t-tests to examine sex differences for these variables. All GI symptoms besides constipation were positively correlated with functional impact. Abdominal pain was the symptom most strongly correlated with functional impact. Age was unrelated to GI symptoms or functional impact. Caregivers of girls reported more daily and global functional impact in their children related to GI symptoms. Frequency of abdominal pain and flatulence were higher for girls than boys; no differences were observed for other GI symptoms. Thus, autistic girls may be at elevated risk for certain GI symptoms and may experience more functional impact due to these symptoms than autistic boys.

Titre : More similar than different: Characterizing special interests in autistic boys and girls based on caregiver report Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Cynthia E. BROWN, Auteur ; Courtney J. BERNARDIN, Auteur ; Marshall T. BEAUCHAMP, Auteur ; Stephen M. KANNE, Auteur ; Kerri P. NOWELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2333-2345 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : gender differences gender/female autism restrictive/repetitive behaviors Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Almost all autistic youths have special interests (SIs), which are focused, intense areas of passion and interest in a particular topic. Emerging research suggests that there are gender differences in SIs among autistic youth; however, commonly used measures that assess for the presence of SIs may not fully capture the granular nature of those differences between autistic boys and girls. Characterizing these differences is important for autism identification in girls, as SIs in autistic girls may often be overlooked by caregivers, teachers, and clinicians due to their more ?typical? and more socially oriented content areas compared to autistic boys. This study therefore aimed to more fully characterize gender differences in SIs using a newly developed caregiver-report measure of SIs (the Special Interests Survey; SIS). Caregivers of 1921 autistic youth completed the SIS. Analyses revealed many similarities between boys and girls; there were no gender differences in mean age SI onset, caregivers' perceptions of uniqueness or interferences of endorsed SIs, or duration of previous SIs. There were gender differences in endorsement of less than half (39%) of the SI categories measured, and there were minor differences in the number of endorsed current and past SIs. Categories with significant gender differences fell along typical gender lines (e.g., more boys interested in math and construction, more girls interested in animals and arts/crafts). This study extends the growing literature on SIs and gender differences in autism and has important implications for supporting autistic youth and their families.

QUETSCH, Auteur ; Lindsey S. ALOIA, Auteur ; Stephen M. KANNE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1264-1280 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often experience difficulties related to aggression, disruptive behavior, and regulation of emotions that precipitate these behaviors (i.e., anger). The extent to which aggression, disruptive behaviors, and anger dysregulation are correlated with distinct or overlapping factors has not yet been explored. The present study examined whether aspects of participant demographics, individual youth functioning, caregiver stress, and family warmth contributed to youth aggression, disruptive behavior, and anger dysregulation. Participants were caregivers of 511 youths with ASD. Analyses revealed that significant proportions of variance in aggression, disruptive behaviors, and anger dysregulation were accounted for by shared variables pertaining to demographics, the individual youth, and caregiver stress. Implications of treatment and future research are discussed.
