However, the prevalence and impact of these traits on parental mental health is poorly understood. We explore BAP traits and its relationship to mental health in 228 fathers and 261 mothers from a sample of 266 scholars from the EPINED study (Spain) grouped as follows: non-autism (N?=?122), autism traits (N?=?93: 38 subthreshold autism and 55 autism symptoms) and autism (N?=?51). BAP rates were higher in fathers (36.9%) than in mothers (26.1%). Moreover, BAP was significantly more frequent in fathers of autistic children (52.3%) than in fathers of children without autistic traits (28.0%), with no differences between autistic conditions groups. Mothers of autistic children exhibited higher psychological distress (36.0%) than mothers of comparison group (19.2%). Fathers with BAP obtained significantly higher scores in emotional problems than fathers without BAP. Multivariate analyses showed that, fathers' emotional problems were associated with their BAP traits, whereas in mothers they were associated with having a child with autism as well as the child's emotional dysregulation. Identifying BAP in parents of autistic conditions children can help professionals to provide specific strategies for improving the well-being of children and parents.

Prevalence of comorbidity of autism and ADHD and associated characteristics in school population: EPINED study / Paula MORALES-HIDALGO ; Núria VOLTAS ; Carmen HERNÁNDEZ-MARTÍNEZ in Autism Research, 17-6 (June 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 17-6 (June 2024) . - p.1276-1286 Titre : Prevalence of comorbidity of autism and ADHD and associated characteristics in school population: EPINED study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Paula MORALES-HIDALGO, Auteur ; Núria VOLTAS, Auteur ; Carmen HERNÁNDEZ-MARTÍNEZ, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1276-1286 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) comorbidity in the school population have been understudied. This study estimates its prevalence considering both parents' and teachers' reports and clinical diagnosis. Sociodemographic, clinical, and cognitive data were compared by diagnostic groups: autism, ADHD, autism and ADHD, subthreshold autism spectrum disorder (ASD), subthreshold ADHD, and children without neurodevelopmental conditions. Following a two-phase design, 3727 parents and teachers (1802 preschoolers, 1925 school-age children) participated in the first phase. Subsequently, 781 participants underwent individual assessment for DSM-5 diagnoses. The estimated prevalence of the comorbid diagnosis was 0.51% (0.28%-0.74%), with significant sex differences (0.16% girls, 0.89% boys). The cooccurrence of symptoms of autism and ADHD reported by parents or teachers was 3.2% and 2.6%, respectively. ADHD comorbidity was observed in 32.8% of autistic children and 31.4% of those with subthreshold ASD. ASD comorbidity was observed in 9.8% of children with ADHD and 5.7% of those with subthreshold ADHD. Comorbidity was reported by at least one informant in 95% of children. Only 15.8% of children with autism and ADHD had been previously diagnosed with both conditions. Early detection and accurate comorbidity diagnosis are crucial to address the clinical and socio-educational needs of these children.

Self-perceived bullying victimization in pre-adolescents on the autism spectrum: EPINED study / Paula MORALES-HIDALGO in Autism, 28-11 (November 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 28-11 (November 2024) . - p.2848 - 2857 Titre : Self-perceived bullying victimization in pre-adolescents on the autism spectrum: EPINED study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Paula MORALES-HIDALGO, Auteur ; Núria VOLTAS, Auteur ; Josefa CANALS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2848 - 2857 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  bullying  school-age children  self-reported  subthreshold autistic traits Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic individuals are at increased risk of experiencing various forms of victimization during their lifespan. This study analyses the self-reported prevalence of bullying victimization in autistic pre-adolescents and those with subthreshold autistic traits in comparison with peers without neurodevelopmental conditions. The sample was comprised of 323 participants (11 and 12?years old; 45 with autism or subthreshold autistic traits) from Spanish general education schools. The assessment protocol included psychopathological (autism characteristics and co-occurrent problems), cognitive and academic characteristics. Bullying victimization was self-reported by the pre-adolescents themselves using the Bullying and School Violence Questionnaire (Acoso y violencia escolar). Autistic participants (57.9%) and those with subthreshold autistic traits (26.9%) showed a higher rate of bullying victimization in comparison with their peers (18.3%). Bullying rates were more frequent and severe and were characterized by intimidation and social exclusion behaviours. These problems were associated with greater intensity of restrictive and repetitive behaviours and with more co-occurring behavioural and emotional problems. We did not find any association with other individual or family factors. Our data reveal the greater risk of bullying behaviours among autistic young people and those with subthreshold autistic traits, which implies the need for detection and establishment of protocols to prevent consequences for their mental health and quality of life. Lay abstract Autistic individuals face a higher risk of various forms of victimization throughout their lives, with bullying being especially prevalent during their school years. Previous studies indicate that autistic children are 2.4 times more likely to be bullied than their typically developing peers and twice as vulnerable as those with other disabilities. However, the extent of this issue among Spanish schoolchildren with autism remains unexplored. In addition, there is no information regarding the presence of bullying victimization in children with marked but undiagnosed autistic traits (i.e. subthreshold autistic traits). This study examines the self-reported prevalence of bullying victimization in autistic pre-adolescents and those with subthreshold autistic traits, comparing them with peers without neurodevelopmental conditions. The study involved 323 participants (11 and 12?years old; 45 with autism or subthreshold autistic traits) from Spanish general education schools. The results revealed a higher rate of bullying victimization among autistic participants (58%; 3.1 times higher risk) and those with subthreshold autistic traits (27%; 1.5 times higher risk) compared with their peers without neurodevelopmental conditions (18.3%). Victimization was linked to more intense restrictive behaviours and increased behavioural and emotional problems. No significant associations were found with other individual or family factors. Our findings underscore the heightened risk of bullying faced by autistic pre-adolescents and those with subthreshold autistic traits at school, emphasizing the need to identify and implement preventive measures to mitigate bullying and its detrimental impact on their mental well-being and overall quality of life.
