As such, imitation is an important intervention target for young children with and showing early signs of autism, and efforts are underway to disseminate evidence-based imitation interventions into community settings. To our knowledge, there are currently no established imitation assessments that have been validated for use in virtual contexts. This study was designed to examine the reliability and validity of two caregiver-implemented imitation measures delivered with support from a remote virtual assessor. Study participants (177 caregiver-child dyads) were enrolled in a large, multisite study that is examining the effectiveness of a caregiver-implemented intervention delivered through the Part C early intervention (EI) system across four states. Results indicate that the assessments can be administered remotely with strong fidelity, internal reliability, predictive validity, discriminant validity, convergent validity, and sensitivity to change. Stability over time was adequate. These findings suggest that imitation skills can be measured effectively using a remote caregiver-implemented assessment, which provides greater opportunity for virtual clinical trials targeting social communication in young children. Clinical Trial Registration The trial protocol was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05114538).

Inner experiences, mental health, and well-being in autistic and non-autistic adults / Micah O. MAZUREK in Autism Research, 17-12 (December 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 17-12 (December 2024) . - p.2676-2688 Titre : Inner experiences, mental health, and well-being in autistic and non-autistic adults Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Micah O.

SMITH, Auteur ; Mya HOWARD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2676-2688 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  inner speech  mental health  self-talk  verbal thinking  visual thinking Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract The nature of autistic adults' everyday inner experiences has been largely unstudied. The purpose of this study was to examine patterns of inner experiences and how they relate to mental health and wellness among autistic and non-autistic adults. Autistic (n?=?303) and non-autistic (n?=?289) adults (ages 21?82) completed online surveys assessing their anxiety, depression, happiness, life satisfaction, and inner thinking patterns, (inner speaking [i.e., verbal thinking], inner seeing [i.e., visual thinking], unsymbolized thinking, feelings, sensory awareness, self-talk). Group differences in inner thinking were examined using Mann?Whitney U and chi-square tests. Correlations and multiple linear regressions examined associations between inner experiences, mental health, and well-being. Autistic adults had greater use of inner speaking and sensory awareness, compared to non-autistic adults. The most common primary mode of inner experience for both groups was inner speaking, while fewer autistic adults reported that experiencing thoughts as feelings was their primary modality. Autistic adults reported greater use of self-talk for social assessment, self-criticism, and self-management purposes, compared to non-autistic adults. Experiencing thoughts as inner speech and as feelings were associated with anxiety in both groups. Using self-talk for social assessment and self-criticism purposes was correlated with anxiety and depression in both groups, while using self-talk for self-management was associated with depression and anxiety only among autistic adults. The results suggest that autistic and non-autistic adults have similarities in overall patterns of inner thinking, yet autistic adults may be more likely to engage in self-talk as a strategy to manage challenging day-to-day experiences.
