Development of the anxiety scale for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASC-ASD) / Jacqui RODGERS in Autism Research, 9-11 (November 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 9-11 (November 2016) . - p.1205-1215 Titre : Development of the anxiety scale for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASC-ASD) Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jacqui RODGERS, Auteur ; Sarah WIGHAM, Auteur ; Helen McCONACHIE, Auteur ; Mark FREESTON, Auteur ; Emma HONEY, Auteur ; Jeremy R. PARR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1205-1215 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : anxiety  measurement  child report  parent report  clinical psychology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Many children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience high levels of anxiety. A widely used measure for typically developing children is the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS). However, such anxiety measures may require adaptation to accommodate characteristics of those with ASD. An adapted version of the RCADS was created based on empirical evidence of anxiety phenomenology in ASD, which included additional items related to sensory anxiety, intolerance of uncertainty, and phobias. Content validity was refined during focus groups with parents. Polychoric factor analysis was undertaken on data from 170 children with ASD, aged 8-16, and their parents. This process resulted in the creation of a new 24 item scale (self and parent report) each with four subscales: Performance Anxiety, Uncertainty, Anxious Arousal, and Separation Anxiety, with evidence of good reliability and validity. The freely available Anxiety Scale for Children - ASD, Parent and Child versions (ASC-ASD) has promising psychometric properties including good internal consistency, validity, and 1 month test–retest reliability.

Child and parent groups were run in parallel, for seven weekly sessions, under the supervision of experienced psychologists. The primary blinded outcome measures addressed change in overall functioning and in severity of the primary anxiety diagnosis after 3 months.Results: Children met diagnostic criteria for 1–6 anxiety disorders (median 3). At end point, both parents and children in the immediate therapy group were more likely to report a reduction in anxiety symptoms. Fidelity of delivery of the group therapy was high, and attendance was 91%.Conclusions: This pilot trial established that children and families were willing to be recruited and randomised, the outcome measures were acceptable, the format and content of the groups were feasible within UK child and adolescent mental health services, the intervention was appreciated by families and attrition was very small.

Intolerance of Uncertainty as a Framework for Understanding Anxiety in Children and Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Christina BOULTER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-6 (June 2014)

There is a paucity of models of the cognitive processes underlying this. Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) has utility in explaining anxiety in neurotypical populations but has only recently received attention in ASD. We modelled the relationship between anxiety and IU in ASD and a typically developing comparison group, using parent and child self-report measures. Results confirmed significant relationships between IU and anxiety in children with ASD which appears to function similarly in children with and without ASD. Results were consistent with a causal model suggesting that IU mediates the relationship between ASD and anxiety. The findings confirm IU as a relevant construct in ASD.

A potentiated startle study of uncertainty and contextual anxiety in adolescents diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder / Paul D. CHAMBERLAIN in Molecular Autism, (September 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inMolecular Autism > (September 2013) Titre : A potentiated startle study of uncertainty and contextual anxiety in adolescents diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Paul D. CHAMBERLAIN, Auteur ; Jacqui RODGERS, Auteur ; Michael J. CROWLEY, Auteur ; Sarah WHITE, Auteur ; Mark FREESTON, Auteur ; Mikle SOUTH, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Beyond the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), associated symptoms of anxiety can cause substantial impairment for individuals affected by ASD and those who care for them. We utilized a potentiated startle paradigm with a puff of air to the neck as the unconditioned stimulus in order to investigate differences between response to cued fear and contextual anxiety among cognitively able adolescents diagnosed with ASD and an age- and IQ-matched typically developing group. In a threat-modulated startle paradigm, response patterns to neutral, predictable, and unpredictable conditions were comparable across typically developing and ASD youth in terms of startle response magnitude and latency. However, the ASD group showed significantly greater absolute startle responsivity at baseline and throughout the experiment, suggesting possibly enhanced general sensitivity to threatening contexts. The ASD group, but not the control group, demonstrated moderate to strong negative correlations between psychophysiological response to unpredictable threats (uncertainty) and questionnaire measures of generalized anxiety, intolerance of uncertainty, and repetitive behavior. Our data suggest enhanced general reactivity among the ASD group, possibly reflecting greater sensitivity to the threatening context of the startle paradigm. Associations with the response to uncertainty may help explain shared neurobehavioral mechanisms in ASD and anxiety. This task can provide useful targets for future neuroimaging and genetics studies as well as specific avenues for intervention. We emphasize the importance of further basic and clinical research into links among these important constructs.

Relations among restricted and repetitive behaviors, anxiety and sensory features in children with autism spectrum disorders / Jane S. M. LIDSTONE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-2 (February 2014)

In Study 1, factor analysis of restricted and repetitive behaviors was carried out using the Repetitive Behavior Questionnaire-2 (RBQ-2), completed by 120 parents of 2- to 17-year-olds with ASD. Two subtypes resulted: repetitive sensory and motor behaviors, and insistence on sameness, accounting for 40% of the variance. This two-factor solution was retained even when the sensory items of the RBQ-2 were removed. In Study 2, 49 of the same parents also completed the Spence Anxiety Scales and the Sensory Profile. The insistence on sameness factor was significantly associated with anxiety while the repetitive motor behaviors factor was not. The relation between anxiety and insistence on sameness was mediated by sensory avoiding and to a lesser extent by sensory sensitivity. Implications for arousal explanations of ASD and for clinical practice are discussed.
