Developmental and Psychiatric Conditions Among 5–7 Year Old Children with Non-persistent and Persistent Autism / Elizabeth HARSTAD in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-3 (March 2026)

BREWSTER, Auteur ; William BARBARESI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1017-1026 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : To describe the types and frequency of developmental and psychiatric conditions (DPCs) in early school-age children who were diagnosed with ASD as toddlers and to compare rates of DPCs in children whose ASD persists (“persistent ASD”) versus those in whom it does not (“non-persistent ASD”). Children with a clinical ASD diagnosis at 12–36 months old underwent a research assessment at 5–7 years old. Research assessments included measures of ASD symptoms and cognitive and adaptive functioning. A research psychologist assigned an ASD diagnosis (yes or no) based on the child’s current functioning. Information about DPCs was obtained from parent and/or research psychologist report. Intellectual disability was defined as cognitive standard score < 70. Of the 213 children diagnosed with ASD at initial clinical assessment, at the research assessment 134 (62.6%) had persistent ASD and 79 (37%) had non-persistent ASD. Overall, the most common DPCs were ADHD (n = 58; 27.2%); speech disorder (n = 46; 21.6%); and intellectual disability (n = 46; 21.6%). Of children with non-persistent ASD, 29.1% had ≥ 1 DPC, and 19% had ADHD. Children with persistent ASD were over 5 times more likely (OR = 5.72) to have an additional DPC, compared to those with non-persistent ASD. Children with non-persistent ASD may manifest several different DPCs, with an increased rate of ADHD compared to population norms. Children with persistent ASD have higher rates of DPCs than those with non-persistent ASD. Follow-up care for children diagnosed with ASD at a young age should include assessment for other DPCs.

The Impact of Face Mask Use on Research Evaluations of 5–7 Year-Old Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder / Virginia PEISCH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-4 (April 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-4 (April 2026) . - p.1354-1361 Titre : The Impact of Face Mask Use on Research Evaluations of 5–7 Year-Old Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Virginia PEISCH, Auteur ; Rafael DEPILLIS, Auteur ; Ellen HANSON, Auteur ; Stephanie J. BREWSTER, Auteur ; Georgios SIDERIDIS, Auteur ; William J. BARBARESI, Auteur ; Elizabeth HARSTAD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1354-1361 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The COVID-19 pandemic changed the nature of clinical research assessments. Little is known about the impact of face mask use on research assessments for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study reports on tolerability of face mask use, child characteristics associated with tolerability, and the impact of face mask use on researcher ASD diagnostic certainty ratings. This paper describes results from a larger study of children who were clinically diagnosed with ASD in early childhood and were re-evaluated at age 5–7 years. Research diagnostic evaluations were conducted from 2018 to 2022 and included cognitive, language, and social-communication assessment. A research psychologist completed a rating scale on the potential impact of face mask use on research assessment diagnostic certainty for a subset of participants (n = 60) who were evaluated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The mean age of study participants was 6.2 years. Face masks were tolerated throughout the assessment for 40 children (66.7%); part-time for 13 (21.6%); and not tolerated for 7 (11.6%). Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) suggested that children who did not tolerate a face mask had significantly lower cognitive [F(2, 59) = 13.241, p < 0.001] and communication [F(2, 59) = 13.639, p < 0.001] scores compared to children who wore their mask for all or part of the visit. For 88% of research assessments, research staff indicated that face mask use had “no impact” on overall assessment results. Face mask use during clinical research assessment was not reported by research staff to significantly impact their ability to complete ASD evaluations.
