Characteristics of social skills for adults with intellectual disability, autism and PDD-NOS / Johnny L. MATSON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 3-1 (January 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 3-1 (January 2009) . - p.207-213 Titre : Characteristics of social skills for adults with intellectual disability, autism and PDD-NOS Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Johnny L. MATSON, Auteur ; Timothy DEMPSEY, Auteur ; Santino V. LOVULLO, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.207-213 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : MESSIER Social-skills Intellectual-disability Adults ASD Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Social skills deficits and excesses are defining characteristics of intellectual disability (ID). Despite this, there is an unfortunate lack of research on the patterns and profiles of social behavior, particularly with adults who are severely intellectually disabled. This paper provides an analysis of social skill patterns for adults living in residential programs in the southeastern United States using the Matson Evaluation of Social Skills for Individuals with sEvere Retardation (MESSIER) as the dependent variable. A diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was associated with more serious social disability. Items that were most commonly noted as problematic for individuals with ASD included preferring to be alone, avoiding eye contact, and exhibiting peculiar or odd mannerisms. Additionally, the presence of blindness and motoric impairment was associated with a higher degree of social skills impairment. The implications of these data for assessment, treatment, and future research are discussed.

Development of a critical item algorithm for the Baby and Infant Screen for Children with aUtIsm Traits / Santino V. LOVULLO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-1 (January-March 2012) . - p.378-384 Titre : Development of a critical item algorithm for the Baby and Infant Screen for Children with aUtIsm Traits Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Santino V. LOVULLO, Auteur ; Johnny L. MATSON, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.378-384 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  BISCUIT  Scoring algorithm  Screening  Assessment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism is defined by impairments in socialization, communication, with the presence of stereotyped behavior. It is also associated with various medical conditions, intellectual disability, comorbid psychopathology, and problem behavior. This is a concerning finding in that there may be a true increase in the disorder's prevalence and that it is associated with poor long-term outcomes. Fortunately, effective treatments exist that can alter the course of the disorder if administered early in a child's life. A method to facilitate early intervention is through the early screening of autism with instruments such as the Baby and Infant Screen for Children with aUtIsm Traits (BISCUIT). The primary purpose of the current investigation was to further develop the utility of the BISCUIT by creating an abbreviated scoring algorithm. Participants included 2168 children ages 17–37 with an autism spectrum disorder or atypical development enrolled in an early intervention program. Discriminant function analysis (DFA) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were conducted resulting in a 5 item scoring algorithm with comparable diagnostic accuracy to the existing scoring procedure. Implications for these data and directions for further research are discussed.

New topics for study are forming and journals are emerging rapidly to handle the ever-increasing volume of publications. This study was undertaken to provide an overview of past and current research trends. Representative studies were evaluated for type of content for each study, frequency of publications on given topics, journals that publish ASD research, and trends in publications over time. Autism was by far the most frequently studied of the ASD, followed by Rett and Asperger's Syndromes. The number of studies published on ASD continues to increase and the most frequently studied topics include genetics, perception and cognition, neurobiology, physiology and nosology. Some observations relative to the status of the field are presented and implications for the future are described.

Validity of the Autism Spectrum Disorder-Comorbid for Children (ASD-CC) / Johnny L. MATSON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 3-2 (April-june 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 3-2 (April-june 2009) . - p.345-357 Titre : Validity of the Autism Spectrum Disorder-Comorbid for Children (ASD-CC) Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Johnny L. MATSON, Auteur ; Jessica A. BOISJOLI, Auteur ; Tessa T. RIVET, Auteur ; Santino V. LOVULLO, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.345-357 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD Autism Comorbid Assessment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A limited number of studies currently exist focusing on comorbid psychopathology of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Due to the heterogeneity of ASD symptoms, communication deficits, and impairments in intellectual functioning, assessing symptoms of psychopathology is complicated. The Autism Spectrum Disorders-Comorbidity for Children (ASD-CC) is a new measure, incorporated in an extensive assessment battery, designed to assess children with ASD for comorbid psychopathology. Reliability analyses of the ASD-CC have been conducted [Matson, J. L., & Wilkins, J. (2008). Reliability of the Autism Spectrum Disorders-Comorbidity for Children (ASD-CC). Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 20, 155–165]. The aim of this study was to identify the factor structure of the ASD-CC and evaluate construct validity of the measure by correlating the empirically derived factors with subscales of the Behavioral Assessment System for Children, Version 2 (BASC-2). Results of the analyses included a seven-factor solution. The factors were composed of items consistent with Tantrum Behavior, Repetitive Behavior, Worry/Depressed, Avoidant Behavior, Under-Eating, Over-Eating, and Conduct. Convergence between some factors of the ASD-CC and related subscales was observed as was discrimination between unrelated factors of the two measures. The ASD-CC appears to be a valid measure of comorbid psychopathology in the ASD population.
