Age of First Walking and Associations with Symptom Severity in Children with Suspected or Diagnosed Autism Spectrum Disorder / Lise REINDAL in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-9 (September 2020)

However, the relationship between AOW and variations in ASD symptoms across different neurodevelopmental disorders is largely unknown. This study investigated AOW and its association with autism symptom severity in a large sample of children (N?=?490, 23% females) clinically evaluated for suspected ASD, differentiated into ASD (n?=?376) and non-ASD (n?=?114) diagnoses. Children with ASD achieved independent walking significantly later than children with non-ASD diagnoses. AOW was significantly associated with ASD symptom severity, and females had a non-significant later AOW. The current findings suggest that in cases with delayed AOW, ASD should be considered as an actual differential diagnosis, perhaps particularly in girls.

Figurative language comprehension in individuals with autism spectrum disorder: A meta-analytic review / Tamara KALANDADZE in Autism, 22-2 (February 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 22-2 (February 2018) . - p.99-117 Titre : Figurative language comprehension in individuals with autism spectrum disorder: A meta-analytic review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Tamara KALANDADZE, Auteur ; Courtenay F. NORBURY, Auteur ; Terje NÆRLAND, Auteur ; Kari-Anne B NÆSS, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : p.99-117 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder,figurative language,meta-analysis,metaphor Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We present a meta-analysis of studies that compare figurative language comprehension in individuals with autism spectrum disorder and in typically developing controls who were matched based on chronological age or/and language ability. A total of 41 studies and 45 independent effect sizes were included based on predetermined inclusion criteria. Group matching strategy, age, types of figurative language, and cross-linguistic differences were examined as predictors that might explain heterogeneity in effect sizes. Overall, individuals with autism spectrum disorder showed poorer comprehension of figurative language than their typically developing peers (Hedges’ g?=?–0.57). A meta-regression analysis showed that group matching strategy and types of figurative language were significantly related to differences in effect sizes, whereas chronological age and cross-linguistic differences were not. Differences between the autism spectrum disorder and typically developing groups were small and nonsignificant when the groups were matched based on the language ability. Metaphors were more difficult to comprehend for individuals with autism spectrum disorder compared with typically developing controls than were irony and sarcasm. Our findings highlight the critical role of core language skills in figurative language comprehension. Interventions and educational programmes designed to improve social communication skills in individuals with autism spectrum disorder may beneficially target core language skills in addition to social skills.

Sex as a Moderator Between Parent Ratings of Executive Dysfunction and Social Difficulties in Children and Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Tonje TORSKE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-10 (October 2023)

ANDREASSEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3847-3859 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Girls and boys might differ in autistic symptoms and associated cognitive difficulties such as executive function (EF). We investigated sex differences in the relationship between parent rated EF and autistic symptoms in 116 children and adolescents (25 girls) aged 5-19 years with an intelligence quotient above 70 and an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis. They were rated with the behavior rating inventory of executive function (BRIEF) and the autism diagnostic interview revised (ADI-R). We found a positive association between EF and the ADI-R domains of reciprocal social interaction (p<0.001) and communication (p=0.001) in girls, while these relationships were small and non-significant in boys. Our results provide a greater understanding of the sex-specific characteristics of children and adolescents with ASD.
