VIVANTI, Auteur ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE, Auteur ; E. DUNCAN, Auteur ; J. FEARY, Auteur ; Kristy CAPES, Auteur ; S. UPSON, Auteur ; Catherine A BENT, Auteur ; Sally J ROGERS, Auteur ; K. HUDRY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1165-1175 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Early Start Denver Model autism community participatory research early intervention pilot randomized controlled trial social inclusion Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A major topic of debate is whether children with autism spectrum disorder should be educated in inclusive or specialized settings. We examined the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of delivering the Group-Early Start Denver Model to children with autism spectrum disorder in inclusive versus specialized classrooms. We randomly assigned 44 preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder to receive the Group-Early Start Denver Model across one school calendar year in classrooms that included only children with autism spectrum disorder or mostly children who were typically developing. Blind-rated indicators of teaching quality showed similar results across settings, which were above the local benchmark. Children showed improvements across blinded proximal measures of spontaneous vocalization, social interaction, and imitation and across distal measures of verbal cognition, adaptive behavior, and autism symptoms irrespective of intervention setting. Mothers of participants experienced a reduction in stress irrespective of child intervention setting. Across both settings, age at intervention start was negatively associated with gains in verbal cognition. Delivery of Group-Early Start Denver Model in an inclusive setting appeared to be feasible, with no significant differences in teaching quality and child improvements when the program was implemented in inclusive versus specialized classrooms.

Titre : Parent resolution of diagnosis and intervention fidelity in a parent-delivered intervention for pre-school children with autism: A mixed methods study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Paula GROGAN, Auteur ; Maya YAARI, Auteur ; Rachel JELLETT, Auteur ; Katy UNWIN, Auteur ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102102 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism ASD Early intervention Intervention fidelity Resolution of diagnosis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background There is growing interest in parent-delivered interventions (PDI) for children with autism. Treatment fidelity has been associated with child outcomes in PDI but little is known about what impacts fidelity. One factor not previously examined is parents’ resolution to the autism diagnosis which involves adjusting expectations about the child and sensitively responding to their cues, strengths and needs. Relatively little is known about resolution in the context of autism but there is evidence of an association between resolution and parent wellbeing. Method The study adopted a mixed methods approach to examine whether there is an association between PDI fidelity and parent resolution to diagnosis, and whether resolution is associated with parent wellbeing. Parents of 31 preschool children diagnosed with autism who attended up to 12 Parent-delivered Early Start Denver Model (P-ESDM) coaching sessions participated in the study. A thematic analysis of parent interviews was also undertaken to identify themes raised by resolved and unresolved parents in interviews. Results There was no difference in overall mean fidelity scores between resolved and unresolved parents. Those classified as resolved had lower depression scores and parenting stress scores than parents classified as unresolved. The qualitative analysis revealed that parents’ perceptions of their child’s progress and their hopes for the future appeared to distinguish resolved and unresolved parents. Conclusions Findings suggest that parent wellbeing and child progress may predict resolution which was not related to parent treatment fidelity in this study. Parent wellbeing and resolution status should be assessed at entry to PDI.

Titre : Parenting stress and autism: The role of age, autism severity, quality of life and problem behaviour of children and adolescents with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rebecca L. MCSTAY, Auteur ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE, Auteur ; Anke M. SCHEEREN, Auteur ; Hans M. KOOT, Auteur ; Sander BEGEER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.502-510 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : age autism autism severity parenting stress problem behaviour Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : While stress is a common experience for parents caring for a child with a developmental disability, current measures fail to distinguish between general stress in parents and the demands of parenting and perceptions of parenting skills (parenting stress). This study examined differences in ‘parenting stress’ reported by parents of children with autism and typically developing children. This study examined the role of child characteristics (age, autism severity, child quality of life and problem behaviour) on parenting stress in 150 parents of cognitively able children and adolescents with autism. The results revealed that child hyperactivity was the only factor significantly related to parenting stress in parents of children with autism, overruling measures of autism severity and child quality of life. This finding indicates the significant influence of problematic behaviours on parenting demands and perceptions of parenting skills in parents of children with autism, over other child characteristics conceived as within the parent’s control. Study implications for future research are discussed.

Method The experiences and support needs of 13 mothers and fathers who had a young child diagnosed (<36 months) were explored via a series of semi-structured interviews and a focus group. Results Thematic analysis identified four key themes: emotional response to diagnosis, ability to manage the uncertainty post-diagnosis, resourcefulness, and experiences of sharing the diagnosis. Conclusions Parents highlighted that receipt of an early diagnosis triggered an array of emotions, which influenced their coping. Charting parents’ lived experiences following an early diagnosis provides valuable insights that have important implications for the development of resources and supports for families at this time.

Titre : Perinatal testosterone exposure and autistic-like traits in the general population: a longitudinal pregnancy-cohort study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Andrew J. O. WHITEHOUSE, Auteur ; E. MATTES, Auteur ; M. T. MAYBERY, Auteur ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE, Auteur ; M. SAWYER, Auteur ; R. M. JONES, Auteur ; C. E. PENNELL, Auteur ; J. A. KEELAN, Auteur ; M. HICKEY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.25 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : UNLABELLED: BACKGROUND: Increased prenatal testosterone exposure has been hypothesized as a mechanism underlying autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, no studies have prospectively measured prenatal testosterone exposure and ASD. The current study sought to determine whether testosterone concentrations in umbilical cord blood are associated with a clinical diagnosis of ASD in a small number of children and with autistic-like traits in the general population. METHODS: Umbilical cord blood was collected from 707 children. Samples were analyzed for total (TT) and bioavailable (BioT) testosterone concentrations. Parent report indicated that five individuals had a clinical diagnosis of ASD. Those participants without a diagnosis were approached in early adulthood to complete the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ), a self-report measure of autistic-like traits, with 184 males (M = 20.10 years; SD= 0.65 years) and 190 females (M = 19.92 years; SD=0.68 years) providing data. RESULTS: The BioT and TT concentrations of the five children diagnosed with ASD were within one standard-deviation of the sex-specific means. Spearman's rank-order coefficients revealed no significant correlations between TT levels and scores on any AQ scale among males (rho range: -.01 to .06) or females (rho value range: -.07 to .01). There was also no significant association between BioT or TT concentrations and AQ scores among males (rho value range: -.07 to .08) or females (rho value range: -.06 to .12). Males were more likely than females to have 'high' scores (upper decile) on the AQ scale relating pattern and detail processing. However, the likelihood of a high score on this scale was unrelated to BioT and TT concentrations in both males and females. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that testosterone concentrations from umbilical cord blood are unrelated to autistic-like traits in the general population. However, the findings do not exclude an association between testosterone exposure in early intrauterine life and ASD.
