However, there is a dearth of research examining potential disparities in autistic youth with depression. The current study examined disparities in depressive symptoms among a sample of Black and White autistic youth between the ages of 16 and 26 years old. Using analysis of covariance this study found that the Black autistic youth had significantly higher depressive symptoms than White autistic youth (m = 7.3, sd = 4.4 vs. m = 3.8, sd = 3.6; t = 2.6, p = 0.013). This study presents initial evidence of a significant racial disparity between Black and White autistic youth depressive symptoms.

Cardiovascular disease risk factors in autistic adults: The impact of sleep quality and antipsychotic medication use / Lauren BISHOP in Autism Research, 16-3 (March 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 16-3 (March 2023) . - p.569-579 Titre : Cardiovascular disease risk factors in autistic adults: The impact of sleep quality and antipsychotic medication use Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lauren BISHOP, Auteur ; Rebecca A. CHARLTON, Auteur ; Kiley J. MCLEAN, Auteur ; Goldie A. MCQUAID, Auteur ; Nancy Raitano LEE, Auteur ; Gregory L. WALLACE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.569-579 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Approximately 40% of American adults are affected by cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors (e.g., high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and overweight or obesity), and risk among autistic adults may be even higher. Mechanisms underlying the high prevalence of CVD risk factors in autistic people may include known correlates of CVD risk factors in other groups, including high levels of perceived stress, poor sleep quality, and antipsychotic medication use. A sample of 545 autistic adults without intellectual disability aged 18+ were recruited through the Simons Foundation Powering Autism Research, Research Match. Multiple linear regression models examined the association between key independent variables (self-reported perceived stress, sleep quality, and antipsychotic medication use) and CVD risk factors, controlling for demographic variables (age, sex assigned at birth, race, low-income status, autistic traits). Overall, 73.2% of autistic adults in our sample had an overweight/obesity classification, 45.3% had high cholesterol, 39.4% had high blood pressure, and 10.3% had diabetes. Older age, male sex assigned at birth, and poorer sleep quality were associated with a higher number of CVD risk factors. Using antipsychotic medications was associated with an increased likelihood of having diabetes. Poorer sleep quality was associated with an increased likelihood of having an overweight/obesity classification. Self-reported CVD risk factors are highly prevalent among autistic adults. Both improving sleep quality and closely monitoring CVD risk factors among autistic adults who use antipsychotic medications have the potential to reduce risk for CVD.

Cardiovascular risk and emotion regulation contribute to depression symptomatology in middle-aged and older autistic adults / Rebecca A. CHARLTON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 101 (March 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 101 (March 2023) . - 102089 Titre : Cardiovascular risk and emotion regulation contribute to depression symptomatology in middle-aged and older autistic adults Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rebecca A. CHARLTON, Auteur ; Goldie A. MCQUAID, Auteur ; Lauren BISHOP, Auteur ; Gregory L. WALLACE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102089 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ageing  Autism  Cardiovascular risk factors  Depression  Emotion regulation  Later-life  Physical health Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) and executive function difficulties increase during later-life and are associated with depression symptoms among non-autistic older people. These associations, however, have not yet been explored among middle-aged and older autistic people. Methods Using data collected via Simons Foundation Powering Autism Research (SPARK), Research Match, we examined the frequency of CVRF, and associations between CVRF, executive function and depression symptoms in 387 middle-aged and older autistic people (aged 40 “83 years). Results Autistic adults reported high rates of CVRF (two, 28.9%; three or more, 23.2%). Rates of high cholesterol and obesity were greater among middle-aged and older autistic adults compared to the general population. CVRF, age, and emotion regulation (but not inhibitory control), were significantly associated with depression symptoms in middle-aged and older autistic adults. Conclusions CVRF occur at high rates in middle-aged and older autistic adults, and it is important that healthcare providers monitor risk factors in order to implement preventative strategies. CVRF are associated with depressive symptoms among middle-aged and older autistic adults, but may not be as important as difficulties with emotion regulation.

Epilepsy in adulthood: Prevalence, incidence, and associated antiepileptic drug use in autistic adults in a state Medicaid system / Lauren BISHOP in Autism, 25-3 (April 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 25-3 (April 2021) . - p.831-839 Titre : Epilepsy in adulthood: Prevalence, incidence, and associated antiepileptic drug use in autistic adults in a state Medicaid system Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lauren BISHOP, Auteur ; Kiley J.

We used data from a full population of 7513 autistic adults who received Medicaid in Wisconsin to figure out the proportion of autistic adults who have epilepsy, as compared to 18,429 adults with intellectual disability. We also wanted to assess how often epilepsy is first diagnosed in adulthood. Finally, we wanted to see whether antiepileptic drugs are being used to treat epilepsy in autistic adults. We found that 34.6% of autistic adults with intellectual disability and 11.1% of autistic adults without intellectual disability had epilepsy, compared to 27.0% of adults with intellectual disability alone. Autistic women and autistic adults with intellectual disability were more likely than autistic men and autistic adults without intellectual disability to have both previous and new diagnoses of epilepsy. Finally, we found that antiepileptic medications are commonly prescribed to autistic people who do not have epilepsy potentially to treat mental health conditions or behavior problems, and that antiepileptic medications are not always prescribed to autistic people with epilepsy even though they are indicated as a first-line epilepsy treatment. The findings of this study highlight the need to effectively treat and prevent epilepsy in autistic adults.

Is the Autism Boom Headed for Medicaid? Patterns in the Enrollment of Autistic Adults in Wisconsin Medicaid, 2008-2018 / E. RUBENSTEIN in Autism Research, 12-10 (October 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 12-10 (October 2019) . - p.1541-1550 Titre : Is the Autism Boom Headed for Medicaid?

We obtained de-identified Medicaid claims data for adults with a recorded ASD or ID diagnosis aged 21 and older with any Medicaid fee-for-service claims between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2018. We assessed enrollment, age, number of visits, and paid amount per year using generalized linear models with a random intercept for each beneficiary. We identified claims for 4,775 autistic adults without ID, 2,738 autistic adults with ID, 14,945 adults with ID, and 3,484 adults with Down syndrome. The age distribution of the diagnostic group with ASD diagnoses was right skewed with a majority of beneficiaries less than age 30. The ASD without ID diagnostic group had the least visits and paid amount per person per year compared to other groups. In each age category, the ASD with ID diagnostic group had the most paid amount per person per year compared to other groups. It is urgent that we identify the health and health service needs of autistic adults from young adulthood through old age. Our findings have implications for ensuring adequate health coverage across the lifespan and highlight the importance of a strong and accessible health care system for autistic people. Autism Res 2019, 12: 1541-1550. (c) 2019 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: Medicaid provides health insurance to disabled people who meet income requirements. We assessed patterns of enrollment and service use among autistic adults and adults with developmental disabilities in Wisconsin Medicaid. We found a consistent influx of new young autistic adults without intellectual disability into the Medicaid system, with fewer visits and lower paid amounts compared to other developmental disability groups. The changing population of autistic people using Medicaid has implications for providing health care to autistic adults in the future.
