First, a significant correlation was found between SPF and total depressive symptom scores. Second, different aspects of SPF significantly predicted different depressive symptom factors, with Low Registration (or sensory hyposensitivity) being the most powerful predictor of depressive symptoms. There were also differences in these associations according to whether parents’ ratings or the boys’ self-reports were used to assess SPF and depressive symptoms. Implications for assessment and treatment of SPF-related depressive symptoms are discussed.

Associations between sensory processing and depression in autistic girls / Vicki BITSIKA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 89 (November 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 89 (November 2021) . - 101881 Titre : Associations between sensory processing and depression in autistic girls Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Vicki BITSIKA, Auteur ; Christopher F. SHARPLEY, Auteur ; Richard MILLS, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101881 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Girls  Sensory features  Depression  Depressed mood Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autistic youth often experience depression, which can confound their social interactions as well as contribute to decreased quality of life. One of the possible correlates of depression in these youth is their sensitivity to sensory stimuli, which can be of several kinds, and is often referred to as Sensory Features (SF). Methods The association between SF (using the Sensory Profile (SPr)) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) (as measured by the Child and Adolescent Symptom Inventory MDD subscale (CASI-D)) was investigated in 53 autistic girls and adolescents aged 6–17 yr, using total MDD scores and also the underlying components of MDD identified via Factor Analysis. Data were collected from the autistic females as well as one of their parents to compare these sources for their association between SF and MDD. Results Data from the SPr and the CASI-D revealed a significant correlation between SP and total scores from the CASI-D, although that association was not uniform across all four Quadrants of the SPr. Examination of the factor structure of the CASI-D revealed two major components, only one of which (Depressed Mood) was significantly associated with aspects of SPr. The data fitted a model of depression as a behavioural withdrawal from chronic stress as an attempted adaptation to that stress. Only the girls’ own evaluations of their SF made significant contributions to their Depressed Mood. Conclusions The link between SF and MDD in these girls may need to be based upon their own evaluations of their SF-related behaviour. Implications for assessment and treatment of SP-related MDD are discussed.

Disagreement between mothers’ and their sons’ with an ASD on ratings of Sensory Features / Vicki BITSIKA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 22 (February 2016)

SHARPLEY, Auteur ; Richard MILLS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.10-19 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD  Sensory Features  Children  Adolescents Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : To test for the presence of any significant differences in the assessment of Sensory Features (SF) given by the two sources, 135 boys with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) were self-assessed and also assessed by their mothers using versions of the Sensory Profile (Dunn, 1999) to measure four sensory quadrants and six sensory domains. MANOVA indicated that mothers rated their sons’ SF significantly less severely than the boys did themselves and that younger boys received more severe ratings from their mothers than older boys did. There was a significant interaction between source of assessment and age of the boys, due to the mothers assessing their older sons’ SF less severely than their younger sons but the sons showing the opposite trend in self-ratings. These findings challenge the validity of clinical assessments of SF that are based solely upon parents’ ratings and argue for a more comprehensive approach to diagnosing the presence and severity of SF in boys with an ASD.

Results are reported for a sample of males and females matched on age and IQ (n = 51 pairs) and a smaller sample matched on age, IQ and ADOS-2 severity (n = 32 pairs). ASD-related behaviours from the SRS-2 that were significantly and meaningfully different across sexes were identified for both samples. ADOS-2 diagnostic severity was associated with different sets of sex-based differences in SRS-2 item scores.

Girls’ cortisol concentrations, mothers’ anxiety, and self- versus parent-ratings of autistic girls’ anxiety / Vicki BITSIKA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 81 (March 2021)

Methods Thirty-three autistic girls (6?yr to 10?yr, M?=?8.21?yr, SD?=?1.29?yr) and 19 autistic adolescent females (11?yr to 15?yr, M?=?12.74?yr, SD?=?1.52?yr) completed anxiety inventories about themselves and provided saliva samples in the morning and afternoon. Their mothers also rated their daughters’ anxiety and their own anxiety. Results There were no significant differences between mothers’ and daughters’ ratings of the latter’s GAD. The autistic girls’ self-ratings of their anxiety were more strongly influenced by their mothers’ anxiety in the younger girls, but more responsive to their own chronic stress state (i.e., cortisol) in the adolescent girls. Conclusions Mothers’ evaluations of their autistic daughters’ anxiety appear to be strongly influenced by their own anxiety. There was also some indication that autistic girls may disguise their anxiety.
