Females with autism may have been under-identified due to not only a male-biased understanding of autism but also females' camouflaging. The study describes a new technique that allows automated coding of non-verbal mode of communication (gestures) and offers the possibility of objective, evaluation of gestures, independent of human judgment. The EyesWeb software platform and the Kinect sensor during two demonstration activities of ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition) were used. METHODS: The study group consisted of 33 high-functioning Polish girls and boys with formal diagnosis of autism or Asperger syndrome aged 5-10, with fluent speech, IQ average and above and their parents (girls with autism, n = 16; boys with autism, n = 17). All children were assessed during two demonstration activities of Module 3 of ADOS-2, administered in Polish, and coded using Polish codes. Children were also assessed with Polish versions of the Eyes and Faces Tests. Parents provided information on the author-reviewed Polish research translation of SCQ (Social Communication Questionnaire, Current and Lifetime) and Polish version of AQ Child (Autism Spectrum Quotient, Child). RESULTS: Girls with autism tended to use gestures more vividly as compared to boys with autism during two demonstration activities of ADOS-2. Girls with autism made significantly more mistakes than boys with autism on the Faces Test. All children with autism had high scores in AQ Child, which confirmed the presence of autistic traits in this group. The current communication skills of boys with autism reported by parents in SCQ were significantly better than those of girls with autism. However, both girls with autism and boys with autism improved in the social and communication abilities over the lifetime. The number of stereotypic behaviours in boys significantly decreased over life whereas it remained at a comparable level in girls with autism. CONCLUSIONS: High-functioning females with autism might present better on non-verbal (gestures) mode of communication than boys with autism. It may camouflage other diagnostic features. It poses risk of under-diagnosis or not receiving the appropriate diagnosis for this population. Further research is required to examine this phenomenon so appropriate gender revisions to the diagnostic assessments might be implemented.

Medications to Treat Co-Occurring Psychiatric Conditions in Autism Spectrum Disorder / Agnieszka RYNKIEWICZ ; Małgorzata JANAS-KOZIK ; Marta TYSZKIEWICZ-NWAFOR

WHITE Titre : Medications to Treat Co-Occurring Psychiatric Conditions in Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Agnieszka RYNKIEWICZ, Auteur ; MaÅ‚gorzata JANAS-KOZIK, Auteur ; Marta TYSZKIEWICZ-NWAFOR, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Importance : p.371-386 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : AUT-B AUT-B - L'Autisme - Ouvrages généraux et scientifiques Résumé : Although there are as yet no drugs specifically indicated for core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), medications are frequently used as a component of comprehensive treatment for co-occurring psychiatric conditions in individuals with ASD across the lifespan. As is true for psychopharmacological treatment in general, the selection of particular therapeutic agents is not yet driven by an understanding of the contributions of specific genetic or other abnormalities to the development or expression of psychiatric symptoms. Treatment is thus largely empirical, and the most common therapeutic targets in ASD include hyperactivity and impulsivity, irritability, mood and anxiety symptoms, and insomnia. The literature suggests that individuals with ASD as a group respond less well to common pharmacologic interventions, and they are generally more likely to experience side effects. There is good evidence to support many of the commonly used medication strategies in ASD, particularly the use of stimulants and other drugs typically prescribed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, as well as atypical antipsychotics for a cluster of symptoms captured under the umbrella term of irritability. There is growing interest in exploring the role of drugs that act on glutamatergic and GABAergic systems. Overall, the evidence base to inform the practice of psychopharmacology is relatively limited even for situations where a Food and Drug Administration-approved indication exists, and considerable work needs to be done to better inform clinical practice.

Profiling Autism Symptomatology: An Exploration of the Q-ASC Parental Report Scale in Capturing Sex Differences in Autism / S. ORMOND in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-2 (February 2018)

(2011) to identify gender-sensitive profiles of autism symptomatology; prioritise and adjust the direction of clinical interventions; and support positive psychosocial outcomes and prognosis into adulthood. The current research piloted the Q-ASC with parents of 238 children with a clinical diagnosis of ASD-Level 1 (without intellectual or language impairment). Data analysis revealed eight interpretable and reliable components of the Q-ASC using Principle components analysis. Comparisons across age and gender groups found statistically significant mean differences of parent-reported characteristics. The findings from this study aim to identify improvements in the Q-ASC towards the future assessment of the sensitivity and diversity of presentations of autism among female children and adolescents.
