Adaptive Behavior in Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder: The Role of Flexibility / Jennifer R. BERTOLLO in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-1 (January 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-1 (January 2020) . - p.42-50 Titre : Adaptive Behavior in Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder: The Role of Flexibility Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jennifer R. BERTOLLO, Auteur ; John F. STRANG, Auteur ; Laura G. ANTHONY, Auteur ; Lauren KENWORTHY, Auteur ; Gregory L. WALLACE, Auteur ; Benjamin E YERYS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.42-50 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adaptive behavior  Autism spectrum disorder  Executive function  Flexibility Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Cognitive and behavioral flexibility are important predictors of adaptive behavior in school-age autistic youth. While prior research has utilized broad measures of flexibility, the current study uses the multi-dimensional Flexibility Scale-Revised to examine which specific flexibility skills relate to adaptive functioning. Through parent-report measures on 216 autistic youth, flexibility explained 22.2% of variance in adaptive socialization skills (p < 0.001). Specifically, Social Flexibility accounted for significant variance in adaptive socialization skills, while Transitions/Change approached significance. In exploratory analyses, flexibility explained 11.5% of variance in Communication skills (p < 0.001). This pattern remained after controlling for co-occurring ADHD symptoms. The current study helps to refine the relationship between flexibility and adaptive behavior, which may ultimately help to inform more targeted interventions.

Assessment of Sesame Street online autism resources: Impacts on parental implicit and explicit attitudes toward children with autism / Cheryl L. DICKTER in Autism, 25-1 (January 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 25-1 (January 2021) . - p.114-124 Titre : Assessment of Sesame Street online autism resources: Impacts on parental implicit and explicit attitudes toward children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Cheryl L.

ANTHONY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.114-124 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders  social cognition and social behavior Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The current study sought to characterize implicit bias toward children with autism and examine whether viewing educational materials about autism would change attitudes toward children with autism. A website developed by Sesame Street containing information about autism and resources for families was distributed to parents of children with autism (n?=?473) and parents of children without autism (n?=?707). Pre- and post-test measures of implicit bias toward children with autism; explicit attitudes and knowledge about autism; and parenting confidence, strain, and stigma were completed before and after the website was presented. Results indicated that parents of children with autism showed less implicit bias compared with those of non-autistic children during the pre-test, but the groups did not differ at the post-test. Parents without autistic children and those with more negative explicit attitudes showed a greater reduction in implicit bias from the pre- to the post-test. In addition, for parents of children with autism, a more positive change in explicit attitudes and increased knowledge from the pre- to the post-test was associated with more empowerment at the post-test. Together, our findings suggest that the online educational resources can reduce implicit bias against children with autism and help mitigate some of the psychological issues associated with parenting children with autism.

Disparities in autism spectrum disorder diagnoses among 8-year-old children in Colorado: Who are we missing? / Trenesha L. HILL in Autism, 25-1 (January 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 25-1 (January 2021) . - p.102-113 Titre : Disparities in autism spectrum disorder diagnoses among 8-year-old children in Colorado: Who are we missing?

ANTHONY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102-113 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  early diagnosis  health disparities  missed diagnosis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although autism can be reliably diagnosed as early as 2 years of age, many children are not diagnosed with autism until much later. We analyzed data to determine why many of the 8-year-old children who resided in Colorado and were identified as having autism through a review of their health and/or educational records did not have a documented clinical diagnosis of autism and were not eligible for special education services under an autism eligibility. We found that children who did not have a documented clinical diagnosis of autism and were not eligible for special education services under an autism eligibility were more likely to be female, aggressive, and argumentative. They had a poorer quality of information in their records and were less likely to have had a developmental regression, sleep problems, or an autism screener or diagnostic measure in their records. These results suggest that the symptoms characteristic of autism among this group of children may have been attributed to another disorder and that clinicians may be able to recognize autism more readily in children with more functional impairment and those who experience a developmental regression. We also discovered that differences in symptom presentations among children who had a documented clinical diagnosis of autism and/or were eligible for special education services under an autism eligibility were associated with different ages at autism diagnosis.

Divergence of Age-Related Differences in Social-Communication: Improvements for Typically Developing Youth but Declines for Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Gregory L. WALLACE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-2 (February 2017)

We examined this issue using SRS-2 (Social Responsiveness Scale-Second Edition) measures of social-communicative functioning and repetitive behaviors in a stratified cross-sectional sample of 324 youth with ASD in the absence of intellectual disability, and 438 TD youth (aged 4–29 years). An age-by-group interaction emerged indicating that TD youth exhibited age-related improvements in social-communication scores while the ASD group demonstrated age-related declines in these scores. This suggests that adolescents/adults with ASD may fall increasingly behind their same-age peers in social-communicative skills.

The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the Supporting Teens with Autism on Relationships program. In total, 84 youth with autism spectrum disorder aged 9 to 18 and their parents participated in this study; two groups received the Supporting Teens with Autism on Relationships program (interventionist-led parent group vs parent self-guided), while an attentional control group received a substance abuse prevention program that included instruction in problem-solving and social skills. Feasibility and acceptability of the Supporting Teens with Autism on Relationships program was high overall. The Supporting Teens with Autism on Relationships program was effective in increasing parent and youth knowledge of sexuality, while the attentional control was not. There was preliminary support for improvement in parenting efficacy related to discussing sexuality with their children. Gains were seen among completers regardless of whether the parent received support from a facilitator. Implications and future directions are discussed.
