Anxiety in people diagnosed with autism and intellectual disability: Recognition and phenomenology / Sissel Berge HELVERSCHOU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-1 (January-March 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 5-1 (January-March 2011) . - p.377-387 Titre : Anxiety in people diagnosed with autism and intellectual disability: Recognition and phenomenology Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sissel Berge HELVERSCHOU, Auteur ; Harald MARTINSEN, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.377-387 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Intellectual-disability Anxiety-disorders Psychiatric-disorders Adults Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Anxiety seems to occur frequently in individuals with autism, but varying prevalence estimates indicate uncertainties in identifying anxiety, especially in those with intellectual disability (ID). The present study explores the recognition of anxiety symptoms and aims to provide suggestions for the assessment of anxiety in individuals with autism and ID. Two separate samples, a community sample of 62 individuals and a clinical sample of 9 individuals, were assessed with anxiety items from a screening checklist. Each item's scores were analyzed. In addition, in the clinical sample, checklist results were compared with clinical assessments. The results indicate that anxiety can be recognized by symptoms similar to those in non-autistic individuals, but signs of physiological arousal seem difficult to recognize in this population. The results imply inclusion of general adjustment problems in order to identify individuals with anxiety problems by using a checklist. For diagnostic purposes, the use of an individual anxiety assessment seems indicated.

Exploring the relationship between challenging behaviour and mental health disorder in autistic individuals with intellectual disabilities / Arvid Nikolai KILDAHL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 104 (June 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 104 (June 2023) . - 102147 Titre : Exploring the relationship between challenging behaviour and mental health disorder in autistic individuals with intellectual disabilities Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Arvid Nikolai KILDAHL, Auteur ; Linn Beate LUDVIGSEN, Auteur ; Oddbjørn HOVE, Auteur ; Sissel Berge HELVERSCHOU, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102147 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Intellectual disability  Mental health  Challenging behaviour  Aberrant Behavior Checklist  Psychopathology in Autism Checklist Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Few studies have explored the relationship between challenging behaviour and mental health symptoms in autistic individuals with intellectual disabilities, and findings have been mixed. While the prevalence of mental health disorder in this population is high, recognition and identification of these disorders may be challenging. No previous study of the relationship with challenging behaviour has used mental health measures specifically developed for this population. Method Using a standardised tool for challenging behaviour (Aberrant Behavior Checklist, ABC), differences between participants were explored according to whether they were diagnosed with a mental health disorder, in a clinical sample of 175 autistic individuals with co-occurring intellectual disabilities (ages 14-68) referred for mental health assessment. The relationship between severity of challenging behaviour and severity of mental health symptoms reported on the Psychopathology in Autism Checklist (PAC) was also explored. Results Few group differences were identified for challenging behaviour according to diagnosis, but clear associations were identified between PAC and ABC scales. These included general/non-specific associations and more specific associations that remained significant when controlling for the underlying conditions. Potential interactions were found involving different PAC scales and age, gender, autism-related characteristics, level of intellectual disability, and communication skills, respectively, but these varied for each ABC scale. Conclusions The relationship between challenging behaviour and mental health disorder appears to be complex and multifaceted. The lack of specificity of challenging behaviour indicates that these cannot reliably be used to identify specific mental health disorders, even if these behaviours may constitute atypical expressions of mental health symptoms.

General Measurement Tools for Assessing Mental Health Problems Among Children and Adolescents with an Intellectual Disability: A Systematic Review / Marianne BERG HALVORSEN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-1 (January 2023)

In this study, we systematically reviewed and evaluated the psychometric properties of instruments used to assess general mental health problems in this population. Following PRISMA guidelines, we reviewed empirical research published from 1980 through February 2020 with an updated search in March 2021 in Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, Health and Psychological Instruments, CINAHL, ERIC, and Web of Science databases. Forty-nine empirical articles were included in this review. Overall, the review indicated consistently better documentation of the reliability and validity of instruments designed for the ID population compared to instruments developed for the general child population.
