Developmental functioning and medical Co-morbidity profile of children with complex and essential autism / Jaimie FLOR in Autism Research, 10-8 (August 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 10-8 (August 2017) . - p.1344-1352 Titre : Developmental functioning and medical Co-morbidity profile of children with complex and essential autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jaimie FLOR, Auteur ; Jayne BELLANDO, Auteur ; Maya LOPEZ, Auteur ; Amy SHUI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1344-1352 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  developmental  children  microcephaly  dysmorphology  essential autism complex autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) may be characterized as “complex” (those with microcephaly and/or dysmorphology) or “essential” (those with neither of these two). Previous studies found subjects in the complex group exhibited lower IQ scores, poorer response to behavioral intervention, more seizures and more abnormal EEGs and brain MRIs compared to the essential group. The objective of this study was to determine if there are differences in complex versus essential subjects based on several developmental/psychological measures as well as certain medical comorbidities. This study utilized data from 1,347 individuals (2–17 years old) well-characterized subjects enrolled in Autism Treatment Network (ATN) Registry. Head circumference measurement and the Autism Dysmorphology Measure (ADM) were used by trained physicians to classify subjects as complex or essential. Significantly lower scores were seen for complex subjects in cognitive level, adaptive behavior and quality of life. Complex subjects showed significantly increased physician-documented GI symptoms and were on a higher number of medications. No significant differences in autism severity scores, behavioral ratings and parent-reported sleep problems were found. After adjusting for multiple comparisons made, adaptive scores remained significantly lower for the complex group, and the complex group used a significantly higher number of medications and had increased GI symptoms. Complex and essential autism subtypes may have distinct developmental and medical correlates and thus underlines the importance of looking for microcephaly and dysmorphology, when evaluating a child with autism. Determining this distinction in autism may have implications in prognosis, identifying medical co-morbidities, directing diagnostic evaluations and treatment interventions.

We conducted a cross-sectional mailed survey study of 435 families with children with autism spectrum disorders residing in the United States. We received 161 surveys for a response rate of 37%. Families reported using the following benefits: 39% paid family leave, 19% unpaid family leave, 91% flexible work arrangements, and 86% telecommuting. Of respondents, 43% reported stopping work, cutting down on hours worked, or changing jobs because of their child’s condition. Having paid family leave was a positive predictor for job satisfaction. Parents of children with autism spectrum disorders have an interest and need for alternative work arrangements.

One-year course and predictors of abdominal pain in children with autism spectrum disorders: The role of anxiety and sensory over-responsivity / Micah O. MAZUREK in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-11 (November 2014)

Methods Participants included 225 children (ages 2–17) with ASD enrolled in the Autism Speaks Autism Treatment Network. Primary measures included the parent-reported GI Symptom Inventory Questionnaire, Child Behavior Checklist, and Short Sensory Profile. Results One-fourth (25.8%) experienced chronic abdominal pain (duration ?3 months) at baseline, persisting at one-year follow-up for 86.7%. New onset pain occurred for 23.8% of those without baseline pain. Anxiety, SOR, and chronic abdominal pain were associated at baseline. SOR significantly predicted new onset pain, but neither anxiety nor SOR were predictors of pain remission. Conclusions Abdominal pain appears to be common and persistent among children with ASD. The relations among SOR, anxiety and abdominal pain offer information about potential underlying mechanisms.

Prevalence and cumulative incidence of autism spectrum disorders and the patterns of co-occurring neurodevelopmental disorders in a total population sample of 5-year-old children / Manabu SAITO in Molecular Autism, 11 (2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inMolecular Autism > 11 (2020) . - 35 p. Titre : Prevalence and cumulative incidence of autism spectrum disorders and the patterns of co-occurring neurodevelopmental disorders in a total population sample of 5-year-old children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Manabu SAITO, Auteur ; Tomoya HIROTA, Auteur ; Yui SAKAMOTO, Auteur ; Masaki ADACHI, Auteur ; Michio TAKAHASHI, Auteur ; Ayako OSATO-KANEDA, Auteur ; Young Shin KIM, Auteur ; Bennett L. LEVENTHAL, Auteur ; Amy SHUI, Auteur ; Sumi KATO, Auteur ; Kazuhiko NAKAMURA, Auteur Article en page(s) : 35 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : A total population study  Autism spectrum disorder  Co-existing neurodevelopmental disorders  Cumulative incidence  Prevalence Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUNDS: Whether there is a true increase in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequency or not remains unclear. Additionally, the rates of co-existing neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) in a total population sample has not been fully examined before. Therefore, using a total population sample in Japan, we aimed to estimate the prevalence and cumulative incidence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) annually, to determine whether there is a true increase in ASD prevalence by estimating the cumulative incidence of ASD annually, and to examine the rates of co-existing neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). METHOD: In this cross-sectional sequential design study, all 5-year-old children in the catchment area underwent the screening annually from the year 2013-2016. Screen-positive children were invited to participate in a comprehensive assessment, including child and parent interview, behavioral observation, and cognitive and motor function testing. All cases were reviewed by a multidisciplinary research team. RESULTS: Caregivers of 3954 children returned the screening, among which 559 children underwent the assessment with 87 children receiving an ASD diagnosis. Adjusted ASD prevalence was 3.22% (95% confidence interval (CI) 2.66-3.76%). The male to female ratio of the crude prevalence was 2.2:1. The cumulative incidence of ASD up to 5?years of age for the total study years was 1.31% (95% CI 1.00-1.62%). A generalized linear model revealed no significant linear trends in 5-year cumulative incidence over the study years. Only 11.5% of children had ASD alone; the remaining 88.5% were found to have at least one co-existing NDD. LIMITATIONS: Modest sample size for a total population study. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings demonstrate the stability of the 5-year cumulative incidence of ASD, implying no true rise in ASD incident cases over the 4-year study period in the study catchment area. High rates of co-existing NDDs reflect the importance of investigating broad developmental challenges in children with ASD.

Relationship Between Subtypes of Restricted and Repetitive Behaviors and Sleep Disturbance in Autism Spectrum Disorder / Rachel J. HUNDLEY in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-11 (November 2016)

Participants included 532 children (aged 2–17) who participated in the Autism Speaks Autism Treatment Network research registry. Confirmatory factor analysis of the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised detected the presence of RSM and IS. RSM behaviors were positively associated with parent-reported sleep problems, and this relationship remained significant after controlling for anxiety symptoms. IS was not significantly associated with sleep problems. Better understanding of the relationship between specific types of repetitive behaviors and sleep problems may allow providers to tailor interventions to the individual presentations of their patients with ASD.
