Are tantrums in autism distinct from those of other childhood conditions? A comparative prevalence and naturalistic study / Alexis BEAUCHAMP-CHÂTEL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 62 (June 2019)

A comparative prevalence and naturalistic study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Alexis BEAUCHAMP-CHÂTEL, Auteur ; Valérie COURCHESNE, Auteur ; Baudouin FORGEOT D'ARC, Auteur ; Laurent MOTTRON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.66-74 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Tantrums  Temper tantrums  Behavioral problems  Emotional problems  Preschoolers Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background While autistic temper tantrums during preschool age are a common challenging behavior, it is unknown whether they are qualitatively and quantitatively different from those arising in other neurodevelopmental conditions. Method Tantrum frequency, duration, triggering factors, behavioral components, parental responses and parental perception of their impact on functioning were collected in 48 autistic spectrum (AS) preschoolers and in 47 preschoolers with other neurodevelopmental conditions, aged from 2 to 5 years. Results The AS group had more frequent tantrums with no identifiable triggers, a higher proportion of tantrums triggered by communication problems and in the context of demands, and their parents were more likely to give in to their demands in response to tantrums. No other group differences in terms of frequency, duration, perceived impact, triggers, modulators and behaviors were found. Conclusion This study did not find an increased frequency of tantrums at a preschool age in youth with and without an AS diagnosis. Further research should now consider if autistic tantrums differ from that of typically developing peers.

Autism voices: Perspectives of the needs, challenges, and hopes for the future of autistic youth / Rackeb TESFAYE in Autism, 27-4 (May 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 27-4 (May 2023) . - p.1142-1156 Titre : Autism voices: Perspectives of the needs, challenges, and hopes for the future of autistic youth Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rackeb TESFAYE, Auteur ; Valérie COURCHESNE, Auteur ; Pat MIRENDA, Auteur ; Wendy MITCHELL, Auteur ; David NICHOLAS, Auteur ; Ilina SINGH, Auteur ; Lonnie ZWAIGENBAUM, Auteur ; Mayada ELSABBAGH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1142-1156 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescence,first-person perspective,inclusive methods,qualitative research,strength-based Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Autism Voices study draws on novel inclusive methods to obtain the first-person experiences of autistic youth with a range of cognitive and verbal abilities. Thirty-one autistic youth were interviewed with a strength-based protocol, enabling them to provide responses in the modality of their choice. Dynamics between youth and their environments such as home, school, and community were explored. Youth were questioned about their interests, plans for the future, experiences with various emotions, and experience of autism. Based on a thematic analysis, six themes emerged: (1) autistic identities, (2) thinking about the future, (3) seeking social connection on their own terms, (4) seeking autonomy, (5) school as both a stressor and social facilitator, and (6) experiences of stress and anxiety. The experiences described by autistic youth parallel many of the aspirations and challenges of typically developing adolescents, while being uniquely shaped by their autism. We discuss how these insights shared by autistic youth can facilitate active involvement in their communities, promote well-being, and promote optimal transition into adulthood. Autism Voices demonstrates that partnering with multiple stakeholders and the use of inclusive methodologies are pivotal steps toward capturing the voices of all autistic youth.Lay abstractCurrently, our understanding of the adolescent period for autistic youth has relied on the expertise of researchers, clinicians, parents, and teachers, yet rarely involves their unique first-person experiences. Our study attempted to understand the experiences and perspectives of autistic adolescents in their home, school, and community environments using the Autism Voices protocol, a semi-structured interview specifically designed and tailored to engage with autistic youth with various language and intellectual levels. The analysis of the 31 interviews conducted with autistic adolescents aged 11-18?years highlighted six themes: (1) autistic identities, (2) thinking about the future, (3) seeking social connection on their own terms, (4) seeking autonomy, (5) school as both a stressor and social facilitator, and (6) experiences of stress and anxiety. These results highlight similarities and differences in the adolescent experiences of autistic youth compared to their typically developing peers. Our findings suggest that by removing assumptions about the experiences of autistic individuals and investing in inclusive interview methods, we can faithfully capture the experiences of autistic youth regardless of their communication and cognitive abilities. Being able to capture and amplify these diverse voices will facilitate the active involvement of autistic communities in research and clinical and policy decisions that impact them.

Autistic children at risk of being underestimated: school-based pilot study of a strength-informed assessment / Valérie COURCHESNE in Molecular Autism, (March 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inMolecular Autism > (March 2015) . - p.1-10 Titre : Autistic children at risk of being underestimated: school-based pilot study of a strength-informed assessment Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Valérie COURCHESNE, Auteur ; Andrée-Anne S. MEILLEUR, Auteur ; Marie-Pier POULIN-LORD, Auteur ; Michelle DAWSON, Auteur ; Isabelle SOULIERES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1-10 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : An important minority of school-aged autistic children, often characterized as ‘nonverbal’ or ‘minimally verbal,’ displays little or no spoken language. These children are at risk of being judged ‘low-functioning’ or ‘untestable’ via conventional cognitive testing practices. One neglected avenue for assessing autistic children so situated is to engage current knowledge of autistic cognitive strengths. Our aim was thus to pilot a strength-informed assessment of autistic children whose poor performance on conventional instruments suggests their cognitive potential is very limited.

Does WISC-IV Underestimate the Intelligence of Autistic Children? / Anne-Marie NADER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-5 (May 2016)

Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2011; Goldstein et al. in Assessment of autism spectrum disorders. Guilford Press, New York, 2008; Mottron in J Autism Dev Disord 34(1):19–27, 2004). However, previous studies suggest that while WISC-III and Raven’s Progressive Matrices (RPM) provide similar estimates of non-autistic intelligence, autistic children perform significantly better on RPM (Dawson et al. in Psychol Sci 18(8):657–662, doi: 10.1111/j.1467-9280.2007.01954.x , 2007). The latest WISC version introduces substantial changes in subtests and index scores; thus, we asked whether WISC-IV still underestimates autistic intelligence. Twenty-five autistic and 22 typical children completed WISC-IV and RPM. Autistic children’s RPM scores were significantly higher than their WISC-IV FSIQ, but there was no significant difference in typical children. Further, autistic children showed a distinctively uneven WISC-IV index profile, with a “peak” in the new Perceptual Reasoning Index. In spite of major changes, WISC-IV FSIQ continues to underestimate autistic intelligence.
