Assessing gender differences in autism spectrum disorder using the Gendered Autism Behavioral Scale (GABS): An exploratory study / Elaine B. CLARKE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 88 (October 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 88 (October 2021) . - 101844 Titre : Assessing gender differences in autism spectrum disorder using the Gendered Autism Behavioral Scale (GABS): An exploratory study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Elaine B.

SHEINKOPF, Auteur ; William MANDY, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101844 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Gender  Sex  Diagnosis  ADOS  Autism spectrum disorder Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Introduction Gendered differences in autism spectrum disorder (hereafter, ‘autism’) symptomatology, may contribute to delayed diagnoses for autistic females. The aim of this study was to develop a coding system, the Gendered Autism Behavioral Scale (GABS), to identify and measure hypothesized components of non-traditional autism phenotypes. Methods Two independent cohorts of autistic individuals completed modules 3 and 4 of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS, 2nd edition). Video-recorded ADOS administrations were coded using the GABS, and separate coding teams analyzed each cohort. Cohort 1 from the United Kingdom consisted of 22 males and 22 females, aged 9–15 years. Cohort 2 from the United States consisted of 40 males and 20 females, aged 4–59 years. Results The coders achieved acceptable inter-rater reliability both within and across coding teams. In exploratory analyses, gender differences between codes were assessed within cohorts. Within Cohort 1, there were significant gender differences, of a moderate size, on several individual items as well as the Managing Emotions subscale and the Total GABS score. Within Cohort 2, significant gender differences were found for two individual items. Conclusions This study demonstrated the feasibility of the GABS across different sites. Validity tests resulted in partial replication of gender differences on the GABS. Preliminary evidence from the GABS suggests that valuable data on hypothesized non-traditional autism phenotypes could be extracted from widely employed assessments such as the ADOS. Future work could capitalize on the GABS’ utility for secondary data analysis to study gender differences in ASD in larger, adequately powered samples.

Attempting to “Increase Intake from the Input”: Attention and Word Learning in Children with Autism / Elena J. TENENBAUM in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-6 (June 2017)

SHEINKOPF, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1791-1805 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Eye-tracking  Word-learning  Attention to faces  Joint attention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Previous work has demonstrated that social attention is related to early language abilities. We explored whether we can facilitate word learning among children with autism by directing attention to areas of the scene that have been demonstrated as relevant for successful word learning. We tracked eye movements to faces and objects while children watched videos of a woman teaching them new words. Test trials measured participants’ recognition of these novel word-object pairings. Results indicate that for children with autism and typically developing children, pointing to the speaker’s mouth while labeling a novel object impaired performance, likely because it distracted participants from the target object. In contrast, for children with autism, holding the object close to the speaker’s mouth improved performance.

Atypical Cry Acoustics in 6-Month-Old Infants at Risk for Autism Spectrum Disorder / Stephen J. SHEINKOPF in Autism Research, 5-5 (October 2012)

Cry samples derived from vocal recordings of 6-month-old infants at risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD; n=21) and low-risk infants (n=18) were subjected to acoustic analyses using analysis software designed for this purpose. Cries were categorized as either pain-related or non-pain-related based on videotape coding. At-risk infants produced pain-related cries with higher and more variable fundamental frequency (F 0) than low-risk infants. At-risk infants later classified with ASD at 36 months had among the highest F 0 values for both types of cries and produced cries that were more poorly phonated than those of nonautistic infants, reflecting cries that were less likely to be produced in a voiced mode. These results provide preliminary evidence that disruptions in cry acoustics may be part of an atypical vocal signature of autism in early life.

Bottom-Up Attention Orienting in Young Children with Autism / Dima AMSO in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-3 (March 2014)

Relative to typically-developing age and sex matched participants, children with ASDs were more influenced by bottom-up visual scene information regardless of whether social stimuli and bottom-up scene properties were congruent or competing. This initial reliance on bottom-up strategies correlated with severity of social impairment as well as receptive language impairments. These data provide support for the idea that there is enhanced reliance on bottom-up attention strategies in ASDs, and that this may have a negative impact on social and language development.

Participants or their caregiver completed a survey about their experiences with primary care and specialty physicians. Respondents reported a high level of satisfaction with their healthcare. The only factor significantly associated with satisfaction was age, with participants under age 26 reporting significantly higher levels of satisfaction than participants above age 26. Participants under age 26 also were significantly more likely to live at home, have private health insurance, and have others making their healthcare decisions than participants above age 26. Results indicate that healthcare satisfaction can be high for adults with ASD that have good family and community support.
