MCCRACKEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1053-1061 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  behavioral measures Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Research and practice in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) rely on quantitative measures, such as the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS), for characterization and diagnosis. Like many ASD diagnostic measures, SRS scores are influenced by factors unrelated to ASD core features. This study further interrogates the psychometric properties of the SRS using item response theory (IRT), and demonstrates a strategy to create a psychometrically sound short form by applying IRT results. Methods Social Responsiveness Scale analyses were conducted on a large sample (N = 21,426) of youth from four ASD databases. Items were subjected to item factor analyses and evaluation of item bias by gender, age, expressive language level, behavior problems, and nonverbal IQ. Results Item selection based on item psychometric properties, DIF analyses, and substantive validity produced a reduced item SRS short form that was unidimensional in structure, highly reliable (? = .96), and free of gender, age, expressive language, behavior problems, and nonverbal IQ influence. The short form also showed strong relationships with established measures of autism symptom severity (ADOS, ADI-R, Vineland). Degree of association between all measures varied as a function of expressive language. Conclusions Results identified specific SRS items that are more vulnerable to non-ASD-related traits. The resultant 16-item SRS short form may possess superior psychometric properties compared to the original scale and emerge as a more precise measure of ASD core symptom severity, facilitating research and practice. Future research using IRT is needed to further refine existing measures of autism symptomatology.

Developmental screening and early intervention in a childcare setting for young children at risk for autism and other developmental delays: A feasibility trial / A. GULSRUD in Autism Research, 12-9 (September 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 12-9 (September 2019) . - p.1423-1433 Titre : Developmental screening and early intervention in a childcare setting for young children at risk for autism and other developmental delays: A feasibility trial Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : A. GULSRUD, Auteur ; T. CARR, Auteur ; J. WILLIAMS, Auteur ; Jonathan L. PANGANIBAN, Auteur ; F. JONES, Auteur ; J. KIMBROUGH, Auteur ; W. SHIH, Auteur ; Connie KASARI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1423-1433 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Jasper  children  early detection  intervention-behavioral  treatment research Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Efforts to decrease disparity in diagnosis and treatment for under-resourced children with developmental delays, such as autism spectrum disorder, have led to increased interest in developing programs in community settings. One potential setting that has already demonstrated feasibility in conducting universal screening is the childcare setting. The current study conducted developmental screening in a total of 116 children ages 16-80 months of age in an urban low-income community childcare center. Parents of 20 children who screened positive were enrolled in the intervention phase of the study, where children received a staff-delivered targeted early intervention or a waitlist control condition. Given the small and imbalanced sample sizes, confidence intervals from mixed effect models were used to measure changes across time for each group. Of the children who received treatment, there was an average increase in child initiated joint engagement, symbolic play, and language use. This study provides initial feasibility data for the implementation of a screening and early intervention program to service a predominantly low-resource and ethnically diverse population within the childcare system in a large metropolitan city. Autism Res 2019, 12: 1423-1433. (c) 2019 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: Identifying and delivering treatment services for young children with developmental delays, such as autism spectrum disorder, may be most successful in community settings, especially for those children from under-resourced areas. This study found preliminary evidence that the childcare setting is a good place to conduct screening and deliver early interventions for children at risk for autism and other developmental delays.

Discrimination and Harassment Experiences of Autistic College Students and Their Neurotypical Peers: Risk and Protective Factors / Lauren BACZEWSKI ; Maria PIZZANO ; Connie KASARI ; Alexandra STURM in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-12 (December 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 53-12 (December 2023) . - p.4521-4534 Titre : Discrimination and Harassment Experiences of Autistic College Students and Their Neurotypical Peers: Risk and Protective Factors Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lauren BACZEWSKI, Auteur ; Maria PIZZANO, Auteur ; Connie KASARI, Auteur ; Alexandra STURM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4521-4534 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examines autistic and non-autistic college students' experiences of discrimination and harassment and identifies protective and risk factors. A nationwide survey was used to match autistic students (N=290) and non-autistic students (N=290) on co-occurring diagnoses and demographic characteristics. Multiple regression and interaction analysis revealed that faculty support was protective against discrimination and harassment regardless of autism status. Habits of mind was particularly protective for autistic students against harassment. Any student who engaged in school-facilitated events was more likely to experience discrimination and harassment, but the risk was heightened for autistic students. Findings highlight the importance of faculty support in fostering positive interpersonal experiences on campus, and demonstrate the need to address deeper college campus issues with respect to neurodiversity.

Does Gender Influence Core Deficits in ASD? An Investigation into Social-Communication and Play of Girls and Boys with ASD / Clare HARROP in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-3 (March 2015)

Research specifically focusing on play and social-communication in girls with ASD is extremely varied. We were interested in whether girls with ASD demonstrated equivalent social-communication and play skills in early childhood relative to boys, using two measures focused on the specific quantification of these variables. We also examined whether the associations between developmental variables and social-communication and play differed by gender. Forty girls with ASD were individually matched to 40 boys based on ASD severity. Our results suggest that girls and boys were more similar than different, however they also raise questions about the potential differential associations between development and requesting ability in girls and boys with ASD.

Does Gender Moderate Core Deficits in ASD? An Investigation into Restricted and Repetitive Behaviors in Girls and Boys with ASD / Clare HARROP in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-11 (November 2015)

Research focusing on restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs) indicates that above the age of six girls have fewer and/or different RRBs than boys with ASD. In this study we investigated whether girls and boys with ASD demonstrated similar rates and types of RRBs in early childhood, using discrete observational coding from a video-taped play interaction. Twenty-nine girls with ASD were matched to 29 boys based on ASD severity. While boys in our sample demonstrated a greater frequency of RRBs, this was not significant and our findings indicate that girls and boys under five are more similar than dissimilar on this core deficit. However our data also revealed a trend toward gender-differential growth trajectories—a finding worthy of further investigation in larger samples.
