Titre : Changes in clinical presentation of children with autistic disorder, at an autism clinic in Taiwan from 1987 to 1995 Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Wen-Che TSAI, Auteur ; Wei-Tsuen SOONG, Auteur ; Wei-Chu CHIE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1501-1508 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic disorder Child mental health Taiwan Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Autistic disorder was originally viewed as a distinct, rare, and severe childhood mental disorder that caused life-long disability. However, since the late 1990s autistic disorder was found to have a high prevalence rate and to affect children on a spectrum from mild to severe dysfunction. The purpose of this retrospective, descriptive study was to examine changes in the characteristics of patients with autistic disorder in Taiwan from 1987 to 1995. To that end, we examined the characteristics, age at diagnosis, symptoms, and developmental condition of affected children and the educational background of their parents who visited an autism clinic at the children's mental health center of a medical center in Taipei. This clinic was the first, largest, and for many years the only autistic disorder clinic in Taiwan. Across the 9-year study period, we observed trends in decreasing age at first visit, increasing age at assessment, rising maternal educational level, lessening autistic disorder symptomatology, and increasing developmental quotients. These changes may have been due to improved diagnostic criteria, government policy, and healthcare professionals’ and parents’ increased awareness of autistic disorder. Clinical implications and related policy making toward these changes are proposed.

Titre : Development of T-STAT for Early Autism Screening Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Chung-Hsin CHIANG, Auteur ; Chin-Chin WU, Auteur ; Yuh-Ming HOU, Auteur ; Ching-Lin CHU, Auteur ; Jiun-Horng LIU, Auteur ; Wei-Tsuen SOONG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1028-1037 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Screening Young children with Autism Taiwan Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study’s purpose was to modify the Screening Tool for Autism in Two-Year-Olds (STAT) into a Taiwanese version called T-STAT. Study 1 included 15 children with Autism and 15 children with Developmental Delay (DD) or language impairment (LI) aged between 24 and 35 months. Study 2 had 77 young children with Autism, PDD-NOS, or DD/LI as a clinical-based validation sample. In Study 1, the signal detection procedure found that a cutoff score of 2 would yield high sensitivity and specificity in T-STAT. In Study 2, using a score of 2 as a cutoff, the agreement between T-STAT risk and ADOS classification was highly acceptable. Results were promising as a Level 2 screening tool for Autism for ages two to three.

Titre : Nonverbal Communication Skills in Young Children with Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Chung-Hsin CHIANG, Auteur ; Wei-Tsuen SOONG, Auteur ; Tzu-Ling LIN, Auteur ; Sally J ROGERS, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.1898-1906 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Nonverbal-communication Young-autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Objective The study was to examine nonverbal communication in young children with autism. Methods The participants were 23 young children with autism (mean CA = 32.79 months), 23 CA and MA-matched children with developmental delay and 22 18–20-month-old, and 22 13–15-month-old typically developing toddlers and infants. The abbreviated Early Social Communication Scales [Mundy et al. 1996, Early social communication scales (ESCS)] were used to test three types of nonverbal communicative skills, i.e., joint attention, requesting, and social interaction. Both frequency and proportion analyses were done in group comparisons. Results (1) Two- to three-year-old children with autism displayed deficits in joint attention ability, especially high-level skills. (2) The deficit in terms of frequency of communication was marked even compared with typically developing infants with younger mental age. (3) Young children with autism had different nonverbal communication profile compared with all three comparison groups. Conclusion Early social-communicative difficulties in autism involve early triadic communications involving joint attention and possibly dyadic turn-taking skills, which has implications for both early screening and early intervention.

Titre : A preliminary randomized controlled study of the PEERS® program for Taiwanese autistic adolescents: The effectiveness on reducing school bullying and enhancing social function Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yi-Ling CHIEN, Auteur ; Yueh-Ming TAI, Auteur ; Heng-Man CHEN, Auteur ; Hsien-Hsueh SHIH, Auteur ; Li-Wei CHEN, Auteur ; Yu-Ying CHEN, Auteur ; Wei-Tsuen SOONG, Auteur ; Yen-Nan CHIU, Auteur ; Wen-Che TSAI, Auteur ; Elizabeth LAUGESON, Auteur ; Mei-Hui TSENG, Auteur ; Susan Shur-Fen GAU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1705-1720 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often experience lifelong social communication challenges and are more vulnerable to school bullying. Addressing their social difficulties and school bullying requires evidence-based interventions. PEERS® (Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills) was adapted and translated for Taiwanese adolescents. This randomized controlled study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Taiwanese version of PEERS® in reducing school bullying and enhancing social function among autistic adolescents. Twenty-one autistic adolescents (mean age 14.29?+?1.67?years; female n = 733.33%) were randomized to a treatment group (TG, n = 10) or a delayed treatment control group (DTG, n = 11). The outcome measures (school bullying, social challenges, social skills knowledge, and social skills performance) were assessed at baseline, post-treatment, and follow-up. The group and time interaction analyses revealed greater magnitudes of reduction in general school bullying (p < 0.001), victimization (p < 0.001), perpetration (p = 0.012), social challenges (p = 0.001), and peer conflicts (p < 0.001), and improvement in social knowledge (p < 0.001) in the TG group than the DTG group. The findings suggest that the PEERS® program tailored for Taiwanese adolescents is effective in reducing school bullying, decreasing social challenges, and enhancing social skills among autistic adolescents, with very large effect sizes (Cohen's d ranging from 1.19 to 2.88). Consequently, participation in the PEERS® program is recommended for adolescents with social difficulties to improve their social communication and interactions to offset school bullying and other social challenges related to adverse outcomes.

The existing instruments may not be appropriate for use in Taiwan due to different health care systems and child-rearing cultures. The purpose of this study was to develop and test a screening questionnaire for generic autism. The initial 18-item screening questionnaire was developed by a child psychiatrist using face-to-face interviews with 10 families of children with autism and then tested on a sample of families of 18 children with autism and of 59 typically developing children. Of these 18 items, 15 had fair or better item discrimination (kappa >0.20) and were selected for the revised screening questionnaire. In the revised questionnaire, cutoff scores of 5 and 6 offered 100% sensitivity and 96.5% specificity, with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.983. The revised screening instrument has high sensitivity and specificity, making it potentially useful for screening Taiwanese children at risk for autism. This instrument should be further tested in a population-based study.
