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.

The Psychopathology in Autism Checklist (PAC): A pilot study / Sissel Berge HELVERSCHOU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 3-1 (January 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 3-1 (January 2009) . - p.179-195 Titre : The Psychopathology in Autism Checklist (PAC): A pilot study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sissel Berge HELVERSCHOU, Auteur ; Trine Lise BAKKEN, Auteur ; Harald MARTINSEN, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.179-195 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Assessment Autism Co-morbidity Intellectual-disability Psychopathology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Adults with autism and intellectual disability (ID) are assumed to have high vulnerability for developing psychiatric disorders, but instruments or criteria for identifying those who may be in need of psychiatric services have been lacking. This study presents a new carer-completed screening checklist designed for this purpose. Differentiation between symptoms related to autism and to psychiatric disorders is indicated in order to identify psychiatric disorders in persons with autism. The Psychopathology in Autism Checklist (PAC) contains 30 items representing symptoms previously evaluated as specific to one of four major psychiatric disorders (psychosis, depression, anxiety and OCD) and not related to autism. Twelve items evaluated as indicators of general adjustment problems are also included. All 42 items are based on ICD-10 and DSM-IV criteria. The PAC was piloted on a sample of 35 adults with autism and ID. The score of participants previously identified with co-occurring psychiatric disorders (i.e. psychosis, depression, anxiety disorder, or OCD) were compared with the score of participants without psychiatric disorders. The results indicate acceptable psychometric properties, and that the PAC discriminates between adults with autism and ID with and without psychiatric disorders, and partially between individuals diagnosed with different psychiatric disorders En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.rasd.2008.05.004 Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=648 [article] The Psychopathology in Autism Checklist (PAC): A pilot study [Texte imprimé et/ou numérique] / Sissel Berge HELVERSCHOU, Auteur ; Trine Lise BAKKEN, Auteur ; Harald MARTINSEN, Auteur . - 2009 . - p.179-195.
