This study used the mediation model to investigate the relationship between the phenomenon of affiliate stigma and parental stress among parents of children diagnosed with ASD. This cross-sectional study involved 196 parents between 22 and 65 years of age with a child diagnosed with ASD whose age was between 2 and 22 years. The correlations between affiliate stigma, shame, and parental stress were confirmed. Therefore, affiliate stigma was positively associated with shame and parental stress. The results also indicated that the relationship between the phenomenon of affiliate stigma and parental stress is mediated by shame. A practical implication of our findings is that parents of children with ASD participating in stress-reducing interventions should be trained on how to cope with feelings of shame.

Method Data were aggregated for toddlers aged 14 36 months who participated in previous studies or completed clinical screening. An item with < 30% of endorsements was classified as low endorsement, an item falling within the range of 30 60% as moderate endorsement, and an item with > 60% as high endorsement. Results All items had a low endorsement rate in at least one country and moderate to high in others. Of 20 items, 14 had a moderate to high endorsement rate in seven to nine countries. Of particular relevance are items with moderate to high endorsement rates in all countries excluding Malaysia, such as points to get help, points to show, brings things to show, follows a point, follows your gaze, and understands what is said. On the other hand, makes eye contact, responds to name, hearing concerns, and reciprocal smile were interpreted differently across the countries. Conclusions This study showed differences in parent/caregiver responding to M-CHAT(-R) items across ten countries, which may indicate cross-country variations in the recognition and evaluation of autistic symptoms in toddlers. Items related to joint attention, social engagement, and language comprehension were reported in a similar manner across countries and could be interpreted as universal autistic symptoms in toddlers.

Measurement invariance of the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) across six countries / Dejan STEVANOVIĆ in Autism Research, 14-12 (December 2021)

However, it is still unclear whether ASD symptoms are measured the same way across different societies and world regions with this tool, since data on its cross-cultural validity are lacking. This study evaluated the cross-cultural measurement invariance of the CARS among children with ASD from six countries, for whom data were aggregated from previous studies in India (n = 101), Jamaica (n = 139), Mexico (n = 72), Spain (n = 99), Turkey (n = 150), and the United States of America (n = 186). We analyzed the approximate measurement invariance based on Bayesian structural equation modeling. The model did not fit the data and its measurement invariance did not hold, with all items found non-invariant across the countries. Items related to social communication and interaction (i.e., relating to people, imitation, emotional response, and verbal and nonverbal communication) displayed lower levels of cross-country non-invariance compared to items about stereotyped behaviors/sensory sensitivity (i.e., body and object use, adaptation to change, or taste, smell, and touch response). This study found that the CARS may not provide cross-culturally valid ASD assessments. Thus, cross-cultural comparisons with the CARS should consider first which items operate differently across samples of interest, since its cross-cultural measurement non-invariance could be a source of cross-cultural variability in ASD presentations. Additional studies are needed before drawing valid recommendations in relation to the cultural sensitivity of particular items.

Quantitative Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (Q-CHAT): A psychometric study with Serbian Toddlers / Dejan STEVANOVIĆ in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 83 (May 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 83 (May 2021) . - 101760 Titre : Quantitative Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (Q-CHAT): A psychometric study with Serbian Toddlers Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Dejan STEVANOVIĆ, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101760 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Early screening  ASD  Instrument  Cross-cultural  Autistic traits Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The present study evaluated the underlying structure of the Quantitative Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (Q-CHAT) in a Serbian sample and its measurement properties for community-based screening. Method Data were collected from parents of 220 toddlers aged 15–36 months. The parents completed together the Q-CHAT and the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers - Revised (M-CHAT-R). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), internal consistency, convergent and known-groups validity were analyzed, with sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values calculated. Results From CFA, 17 out of 25 items emerged to represent three underlying factors, namely social communication/interaction, restrictive/repetitive behavior, and language impairment. The Q-CHAT-10 was found to have one-dimensional structure. Cronbach’s α was ≥.81 for Q-CHAT scores. All scores for toddlers with typical development were significantly lower compared to those with ASD. The cut-off points that best-balanced sensitivity/specificity for the total scores, were 37 for the Q-CHAT with all 25 items (96.2/81.9 %), 26 for the Q-CHAT with 17 items (96.2/93.3 %), and 3 (100/93.3 %) for the Q-CHAT-10, with the positive/negative predictive values of .39/.99, .57/1.00, and .67/1.00, respectively. Conclusions The Serbian Q-CHAT versions with 10 and 17 items showed sound internal consistency, convergent and know-groups validity, and high levels of sensitivity and specificity for community-based screening. A multidimensional structure with social communication/interaction, restrictive/repetitive behaviors, and language impairment aspects was confirmed. This implies that autistic traits in toddlers could be measured dimensionally with the Q-CHAT, but its structure should be verified in additional studies.
