Animal-assisted activity improves social behaviors in psychiatrically hospitalized youth with autism / Monique M. GERMONE in Autism, 23-7 (October 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 23-7 (October 2019) . - p.1740-1751 Titre : Animal-assisted activity improves social behaviors in psychiatrically hospitalized youth with autism Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Monique M. GERMONE, Auteur ; Robin GABRIELS, Auteur ; N.A. GUERIN, Auteur ; Zhaoxing PAN, Auteur ; Tiffany BANKS, Auteur ; Marguerite E. O’HAIRE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1740-1751 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : animal-assisted activities  autism  communication  dogs  social behaviors Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is preliminary research suggesting that animal-assisted activities can improve social interactions of children with autism spectrum disorder. This pilot study sought to investigate the benefits of animal-assisted activities with dogs and psychiatrically hospitalized youth with autism spectrum disorder. Participants were recruited from a specialized inpatient psychiatric hospital unit for youth with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities. Utilizing a crossover design, participants served as their own control by engaging in two 10-min conditions: an experimental dog and handler interaction (animal-assisted activities) and a novel toy and handler control (control). Of the 142 youth aged 6--8 years screened for participation, 47 completed both conditions. Participants' behavioral data were captured via video and coded using the Observation of Human-Animal Interaction for Research, a tool specifically developed to capture human behavioral interactions in the presence of animals. Overall, social-communication behaviors significantly improved in the animal-assisted activities experimental condition compared to the control condition (p = 0.0001). Specifically, participants in the animal-assisted activities experimental condition displayed more positive emotional facial expressions (p 0.0001), talking (p = 0.0408), use of gestures (p = 0.032), and looking at both adults and peers (p 0.0001). In addition, a higher frequency of constant motion (p = 0.003) was observed in the animal-assisted activities experimental condition. Results suggest that animal-assisted activities with a dog may promote social-communication behaviors in psychiatrically hospitalized youth with autism spectrum disorder. Given the fact that social and communication behaviors can facilitate treatment engagement for this population, we recommend future studies examine how such improvements can positively affect the psychiatric treatment of this population.

Behavioral Symptoms of Reported Abuse in Children and Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Inpatient Settings / Jamie BRENNER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-11 (November 2018)

Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) compared outcomes between patients with a caregiver reported history of abuse and those without. Findings indicate that patients with ASD and reported abuse (i.e. physical, sexual, and/or emotional) have more intrusive thoughts, distressing memories, loss of interest, irritability, and lethargy than those without reported maltreatment. Those with clinical diagnoses of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) had more severe and externalized symptoms than those with reported abuse not diagnosed with PTSD. Results emphasize the need for trauma screening measures to guide evidence-based treatments for children with ASD.

Gender Differences in Emotion Dysregulation in an Autism Inpatient Psychiatric Sample / Andrea T. WIECKOWSKI in Autism Research, 13-8 (August 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 13-8 (August 2020) . - p.1343-1348 Titre : Gender Differences in Emotion Dysregulation in an Autism Inpatient Psychiatric Sample Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Andrea T. WIECKOWSKI, Auteur ; Stephanie LUALLIN, Auteur ; Zhaoxing PAN, Auteur ; Giulia RIGHI, Auteur ; Robin GABRIELS, Auteur ; Carla A. MAZEFSKY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1343-1348 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Inpatient Collection  autism spectrum disorder  emotion regulation  gender differences  psychiatric inpatients Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is a wide range of emotion regulation (ER)-related impairment observed in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which is associated with both internalizing and externalizing problems. Although the importance of ER is widely acknowledged in the ASD literature, little is known about factors associated with variability in ER impairment. Given the identified gender differences in ASD, gender may be a potential contributor to ER. This study examined gender differences in ER in an ASD inpatient psychiatric sample (n = 722; 146 females) aged 4-20 years, collected as part of the Autism Inpatient Collection. In addition, the study investigated whether age, nonverbal intelligence quotient (NVIQ), or verbal ability moderate the association between ER and gender. While both male and female inpatients with ASD presented with clinically elevated emotion dysregulation compared to general population norms, results suggest that female psychiatric inpatients have more severe dysregulation, including higher reactivity and dysphoria, than inpatient males. NVIQ and verbal ability did not moderate the association between gender and ER. Age moderated the association between gender and ER, with greater gender difference seen in older individuals, but only for dysphoria. However, overall, these effects were small. Improved understanding of ER presentation in males and females with ASD is critical, as these symptoms may differentially impact individuals with ASD and may warrant a different treatment emphasis. LAY SUMMARY: Previous research has identified several gender differences in presentation of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms, as well as difficulties with emotion regulation in individuals with ASD. In order to better understand the factors that may contribute to emotion regulation in ASD, this study examined whether psychiatrically hospitalized males and females with ASD differed in emotion regulation and what factors influenced the differences. Results suggest that females with ASD have slightly but significantly more difficulty with emotion regulation compared to males.

Is there a relationship between restricted, repetitive, stereotyped behaviors and interests and abnormal sensory response in children with autism spectrum disorders? / Robin GABRIELS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2-4 (October 2008)

Caregivers completed the Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised (RBS-R) and the Sensory Profile. Controlling for IQ and age, total RBS-R and Sensory Profile scores revealed significant correlations both prior to and after removing overlapping items. Examination of the co-occurrence of RBs and atypical sensory responses in this population suggests a subgroup has consistently high rates of problems in both RBs and sensory processing. In addition, this subgroup has high rates of prescribed psychoactive medications and co-morbid psychiatric diagnoses. The IQ and age of this subgroup did not differ significantly from the rest of the participants. Results are consistent with previous research describing the co-occurrence of RBs and sensory response abnormalities in the ASD population. Further investigation of the subset of individuals with ASD who have high rates of RBs and abnormal sensory responses may lead to a more comprehensive understanding of their clinical picture and improve interventions. Additionally, research with this subgroup may have significance for identifying a specific phenotype in ASD.

Pilot study measuring the effects of therapeutic horseback riding on school-age children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders / Robin GABRIELS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)

All participants received baseline and post-condition assessments in the areas of self-regulation (Irritability, Lethargy, Stereotypic Behavior, and Hyperactivity), adaptive living skills, and motor skills. Participants who completed 10 weeks of THR demonstrated significant improvements on measures of Irritability, Lethargy, Stereotypic Behavior, Hyperactivity, expressive language skills, motor skills, and verbal praxis/motor planning skills. When compared to the pre- and post-assessments of participants from the waitlist control condition, the THR group still showed significant improvements in self-regulation behaviors. The THR-specific change from the baseline to post-assessments suggests that the improvements are related to the THR treatment.
