Atypical communication characteristics among clinic-referred youth with and without autism spectrum disorder: Stability and associations with clinical correlates / Erin KANG in Development and Psychopathology, 32-4 (October 2020)

Using a simple retrospective method, this study aimed to better understand the relation and stability of ACCs with a broad range of psychiatric symptoms among large, well-characterized samples of clinic-referred children and adolescents with and without ASD. Youth with ASD had higher rates and a more variable pattern of developmental change in ACCs than the non-ASD diagnostic group. Latent class analysis yielded three ACC stability subgroups within ASD: Stable ACCs, Mostly Current-Only ACCs, and Little Professors. Subgroups exhibited differences in severity of ASD symptomatology, co-occurring psychiatric symptoms, and other correlates. Our findings provide support for the clinical utility of characterizing caregiver-perceived changes in ACCs in identifying children at risk for co-occurring psychopathology and other clinically relevant variables.

Trajectories and correlates of special education supports for youth with autism spectrum disorder and psychiatric comparisons / Christine J SPAULDING in Autism, 21-4 (May 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 21-4 (May 2017) . - p.423-435 Titre : Trajectories and correlates of special education supports for youth with autism spectrum disorder and psychiatric comparisons Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Christine J SPAULDING, Auteur ; Matthew D LERNER, Auteur ; Kenneth D GADOW, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.423-435 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders  education services  school-aged children  special education Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Relatively little is known about patterns of school-based supportive services for youth with autism spectrum disorder. This study describes these supportive services and their correlates, both cross-sectionally and retrospectively, in a large sample (N?=?283) of 6- to 18-?year-old youth. To assess whether special education designation and classroom placement patterns were peculiar to autism spectrum disorder, we also conducted analyses comparing youth with autism spectrum disorder to those with other psychiatric diagnoses (N?=?1088). In higher grades, the relative quantity of three common supportive services received by youth with autism spectrum disorder decreased, while total supportive service quantity remained stable over time. Youth with autism spectrum disorder were more likely to receive a special education designation and were placed in less inclusive classroom settings than youth with other psychiatric diagnoses. These findings suggest that as youth with autism spectrum disorder reach higher grades, changes in service provision occur in terms of both time and quantity.

A transdiagnostic model of psychiatric symptom co-occurrence and autism spectrum disorder / Craig RODRIGUEZ-SEIJAS in Autism Research, 13-4 (April 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 13-4 (April 2020) . - p.579-590 Titre : A transdiagnostic model of psychiatric symptom co-occurrence and autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Craig RODRIGUEZ-SEIJAS, Auteur ; Kenneth D GADOW, Auteur ; Tamara E. ROSEN, Auteur ; Hyunsik KIM, Auteur ; Matthew D LERNER, Auteur ; Nicholas R. EATON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.579-590 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  comorbidity  factorial invariance  transdiagnostic factors Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Understanding whether the co-occurrence of psychiatric symptoms within autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are specific to the ASD diagnosis or reflect similar higher-order patterns observed in both ASD and non-ASD samples, or a confluence of the two, is of critical importance. If similar, it would suggest that comorbid psychiatric conditions among individuals with ASD are not symptoms of specific, non-ASD psychiatric disorders per se, but reflect a general liability to psychopathology associated with ASD. To this end, the current study examined whether the higher-order structure of co-occurring psychiatric symptoms was the same within ASD and non-ASD youth. Parents of clinic-referred youth with (n = 280) and without (n = 943) ASD completed a DSM-IV-referenced psychiatric symptom rating scale. A confirmatory factor analytic framework was used to examine four levels of measurement invariance across groups to determine the extent to which transdiagnostic factors were comparable. Transdiagnostic factors were characterized by symptoms of the same disorders (configural invariance) and the same factor loadings across groups (metric invariance). Furthermore, both groups evidenced equivalent numbers of symptoms of most psychiatric conditions with the notable exceptions of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and social anxiety (partial strong invariance), which were higher in the ASD sample. It was concluded that disparities in the co-occurrence of psychiatric symptoms between youth with and without ASD may be largely reflective of transdiagnostic factor level differences associated with ASD and not indicative of the ASD diagnosis per se. However, for ADHD and social anxiety, there appears to be some specific associations with the ASD diagnosis. Autism Res 2020, 13: 579-590. (c) 2019 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: Few transdiagnostic dimensions relate common mental disorder diagnoses with one another. These dimensions explain psychiatric comorbidity (i.e., the finding that many persons possess several disorder diagnoses simultaneously). However, it is unclear if these dimensions differ among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), compared with their non-ASD counterparts. The results of this study demonstrate that underlying transdiagnostic dimensions are similar in both ASD and non-ASD children. However, there appear to be ASD-specific differences when it comes to social anxiety and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
