We implemented a multiple-baseline design across target behaviors, whereby the Social Story was implemented first, followed by the pairing of the story and a differential reinforcement of zero behavior (DRO) procedure. Results indicate that while the use of a Social Story was effective in decreasing problem behavior when compared to baseline levels, the pairing of the story with a DRO procedure resulted in lower average levels of the target behaviors across both participants.

Do social attribution skills improve with age in children with high functioning autism spectrum disorders? / Elgiz BAL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-1 (January 2013)

Children with ASDs gave responses that received lower intentionality and appropriateness ratings than did TD children in both the goal-directed and theory of mind (ToM) conditions. Results remained unchanged when the effects of verbal output (i.e., number of clause produced) and verbal IQ were included as covariates in the analyses. Whereas age was highly associated with ToM performance in the TD children, this relationship was not as strong among children with ASDs. These results indicate not only a diminished tendency among high functioning children with ASDs to attribute social meaning and intentionality to ambiguous visual displays of interactive forms but also an aberrant developmental trajectory. That is, children with ASDs may fall further behind their typically developing peers in social attribution abilities as they get older.

At present, several ASD screeners exist for young children, with the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) being one of the most widely researched. While the M-CHAT has good sensitivity and specificity, the presence of false positives and false negatives is inevitable. While false positives are not as disconcerting, since follow-up assessment will reveal the absence of ASD, false negatives can inadvertently delay much needed services to toddlers. The current study examined parental report for 552 toddlers who were referred for early intervention services due to being part of an at-risk population. The groups were divided into four groups based on their M-CHAT scores and actual diagnoses – a true positive group (n = 150), false positive group (n = 150), true negative group (n = 151), and false negative group (n = 101). All four groups were compared with respect to their total M-CHAT score and total critical items score on the M-CHAT. While the true positive and false positive groups significantly differed from the true negative and false negative groups on both of these dimensions, significant differences were also found between the true and false positive groups but not between the true and false negative groups. Furthermore, all 23 M-CHAT items were more commonly endorsed by individuals in the true positive group when compared to the false positive group, while differences in item endorsements between the true and false negative groups were scant. Based on these results, the true and false positive groups tended to be more easily discriminated from one another while the true and false negative groups presented themselves similarly. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Children resided in six states in the United States. Using moderation analysis via multiple regression, verbal communication and challenging behaviors and how they interact with social skills were examined. Children and adolescents exhibiting fewer challenging behaviors and presenting with better verbal communication skills had the greatest strengths in social skills. Furthermore, challenging behaviors adversely affected social skills more than verbal communication skills. Thus, regardless of verbal communication level, children with low levels of challenging behaviors exhibited greater social skills. Clinical implications of these findings and directions for future research are discussed.

Due to the fact that many of the ASD observation measures currently available do not have established psychometric properties and require extensive time and training to administer, the ASD-OC seeks to address these issues. The purpose of this initial study was to investigate the reliability of the ASD-OC. The measure was administered to a sample of 114 children as part of an outpatient evaluation. In a subset of the sample, 26 children were rated by two independent clinicians after the same session. Interrater reliability was calculated using intraclass coefficients (ICC). Five items were removed after this interrater reliability analysis given poor reliability coefficients less than .40. Mean interrater reliability for each of the 49 retained items was good (i.e., .73). Interrater reliability for the scale as a whole was excellent (i.e., ICC = .96). Item analysis and internal consistency were investigated in the total sample (n = 114). Four items were removed from the scale because of little to no variance in scores. Forty-five items remained on the scale. The internal consistency of the ASD-OC as measured by Cronbach's alpha was excellent at .96. The ASD-OC proved to be a promising measure with robust reliability.

Comorbidity is the presence of one or more disorders in addition to a primary disorder. The prevalence of comorbid psychological disorders, behaviours associated with comorbid psychopathology, epilepsy, gastrointestinal symptoms and sleep problems were examined. Age, gender, level of intellectual disability, presence of epilepsy, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) and an anxiety disorder were determined using a self-constructed demographic questionnaire. The Autism Spectrum Disorder-Comorbidity-Child (ASD-CC) was administered to informants to assess symptoms of psychopathology and emotional difficulties. The Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) and Gastrointestinal Symptom Inventory were administered to assess sleep problems and gastrointestinal symptoms respectively. Forty-six percent of participants had a comorbid disorder, with this number increasing to 78.7% if intellectual disability was included. The prevalence of epilepsy was 10.1%, AD/HD was 18% and an anxiety disorder was 15.7%. Prevalence rates of gastrointestinal symptoms and sleep problems are discussed in the study.

Data were analyzed using governmental reported general population by administrative area, population of persons with disabilities, and the profile of disability service institutions in Taiwan-Fuchien Area from 2002 to 2009. Results revealed that there were averagely 956,549 persons with disabilities and 15,172 institutional service beds (15.86 beds per 1000 persons with disabilities; range = 0–33‰) and the mean occupancy rate was 79% (area range: 36.26–92.09%). during the past 8 years. Many rural countries and off-shore islands have poorer disability service beds than other urban cities. The results also showed that the disability population (R2 = 0.093, p < 0.001), institutional service beds (R2 = 0.885, p = 0.001) and occupied service beds (R2 = 0.917, p < 0.001) were significantly increased in curve tests during 2002–2009. However, the service beds per 1000 persons with disabilities and occupancy rate were not statistical change during the past 8 years. The study highlights the service authorities should focus on the uneven distribution problem of disability institutional care, particularly in rural countries and off-shore islands in Taiwan.

It has been hypothesized that mercury poisoning may be a factor in autism and data suggest that perhaps 7% of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have received chelation treatment. It would therefore seem timely to review studies investigating the effects of chelation treatment for individuals with ASD. To this end, we conducted a systematic search to identify studies that have evaluated the effects of chelation on autism symptomatology. Our search identified five studies, which were analyzed in terms of (a) participant characteristics, (b) dependent variables, (c) study outcomes, and (d) certainty of evidence. Four of the five studies found mixed results and only one study reported positive results. However, given the significant methodological limitations of these studies, the research reviewed here does not support the use of chelation as a treatment for ASD.

Multi-method assessment of feeding problems among children with autism spectrum disorders / William G. SHARP in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-1 (January 2013)

SHARP, Auteur ; David L. JAQUESS, Auteur ; Colleen TAYLOR LUKENS, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : p.56-65 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Assessment  Autism  Children  Diet  Feeding  Food selectivity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Estimates suggest that atypical eating is pervasive among children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD); however, much remains unknown regarding the nature and prevalence of feeding problems in this population due to methodological limitations, including lack of adequate assessment methods and empirical evaluation of existing measures. In the current study, a sample of 30 children ages 3–8 years completed a multi-method assessment battery involving a standardized mealtime observation, a food preference inventory, and the Brief Autism Mealtime Behavior Inventory (BAMBI), which represents the first attempt to assess the correspondence between direct observation and parent-report measures of feeding concerns and dietary intake in ASD. During the mealtime observation, fourteen participants either rejected (n = 8) or accepted (n = 6) all bites, while the remaining 16 participants demonstrated selective patterns of acceptance by type and/or texture. Among this subgroup, vegetables were the most frequently rejected food type during the behavioral observation. Vegetables were also the most frequently rejected food based on parent report for the sample. Increased food selectivity was positively correlated with problem behaviors during the observation, while ASD symptom severity and growth parameters were unrelated to feeding data. We discuss findings in relation to clinical and research activities and recommend strategies to achieve more systematic research in this area.

A comparison of experimental functional analysis and the Questions About Behavioral Function (QABF) in the assessment of challenging behavior of individuals with autism / Olive HEALY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-1 (January 2013)

Both assessments found that self injurious behavior (SIB) was mostly maintained by automatic reinforcement and escape from task demands. Aggressive/destructive behavior was found to be maintained by escape and access to tangibles, whereas stereotypy was mostly maintained by automatic reinforcement. There was exact agreement on function(s) between the two assessments for 24 participants and partial agreement for six participants. Results suggest that the QABF has clinical utility and is an effective tool for ascribing behavioral function. Implications of the present findings for future assessment of behavioral function are discussed.

Motor stereotypies and volumetric brain alterations in children with Autistic Disorder / Sylvie GOLDMAN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-1 (January 2013)

These stigmatizing motor behaviors represent one manifestation of the third core criterion for an Autistic Disorder (AD) diagnosis, and are becoming viewed as potential early markers of autism. Moreover, motor stereotypies might be a tangible expression of the underlying neurobiology of this neurodevelopmental disorder. In this study, we videoscored stereotypies recorded during semi-structured play sessions from school age children with AD. We examined the effect of severity and persistence over time of stereotypies on brain volumetric changes. Our findings confirmed that the brain volume of school age children with AD is, on average, larger than that of age-matched typically developing children. However, we have failed to detect any sign of volumetric differences in brain regions thought to be particularly linked to the pathophysiology of stereotypies. This negative finding may suggest that, at least with respect to motor stereotypies, functional rather than structural alterations might be the underpinning of these disruptive motor manifestations of autism.

Percent of children with autism for whom suicide ideation or attempts was rated as sometimes to very often a problem by mothers (14%) was 28 times greater than that for typical children (0.5%) but less than for depressed children (43%). For children with autism, four demographic variables (age 10 or older, Black or Hispanic, lower SES, and male) were significant risk factors of suicide ideation or attempts. The majority of children (71%) who had all four demographic risk factors had ideation or attempts. Comorbid psychological problems most highly predictive of ideation or attempts were depression, behavior problems, and teased. Almost half of children with these problems had suicide ideation or attempts. All children with autism should be screened for suicide ideation or attempts because ideation and attempts in autism are significantly higher than the norm and are present across the spectrum. This is especially important for children who have the demographic and comorbid risk factors, many of which can be targeted for intervention to reduce and prevent suicide ideation and attempts.

In this study, therefore, we attempted to clarify the association of environmental factors with autism and allergy using a population-based epidemiological study and to propose a newly developed screening method with improved validity by determining the relationship between ASD (autism spectrum disorders) subscales. We examined the association among autistic score from the Autism Screening Questionnaire (ASQ Japanese version), living environment factors, and allergic disease in 1407 children aged 3–5 years old. We recognized that children with higher ASD score have significantly higher prevalence of nasal allergy and associated with significantly factors of boy and first in terms of birth order and maternal smoking. In addition, nasal allergy were observed to be associated with “reciprocal social interaction”, “language and communication”, and “repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behaviors” as subscales of ASD. These results suggest that autism in children were closely related to allergy and environmental factors. Investigation of allergy symptoms in addition to subscale of ASD seem to enable more efficient screening of autism tendency at an earlier stage.

We assessed the effects of age on cortical thickness in individuals with ASD, between the ages of 7 and 39 years in comparison to typically developing controls. Additionally, we examined differences in cortical thickness in relation to symptomatology in the ASD group, and their association with age. Analyses were conducted using a general linear model, controlling for sex. Social and communication scores from the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) were correlated with the thickness of regions implicated in those functions. Controls showed widespread cortical thinning relative to the ASD group. Within regions-of-interest, increased thickness in the rostral anterior cingulate cortex was associated with poorer social scores. Additionally, a significant interaction between age and social impairment was found in the orbitofrontal cortex, with more impaired younger children having decreased thickness in this region. These results suggest that differential neurodevelopmental trajectories are present in individuals with ASD and some differences are associated with diagnostic behaviours.

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-1 (January 2013) . - p.151-8 Titre : Unusual fears in children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Susan DICKERSON MAYES, Auteur ; Susan L. CALHOUN, Auteur ; Richa AGGARWAL, Auteur ; Courtney N. BAKER, Auteur ; Santoshkumar MATHAPATI, Auteur ; Sarah MOLITORIS, Auteur ; Rebecca D. MAYES, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : p.151-8 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Fears  Phobias Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Unusual fears have long been recognized as common in autism, but little research exists. In our sample of 1033 children with autism, unusual fears were reported by parents of 421 (41%) of the children, representing 92 different fears. Many additional children had common childhood fears (e.g., dogs, bugs, and the dark). More than half of children with unusual fears had fears of mechanical things, heights, and/or weather. The most common unusual fear was fear of toilets, and the most common category was fear of mechanical things. Amazingly, many of the fears reported in our sample were described in children with autism 70 years ago by Kanner, including fear of vacuum cleaners, elevators, mechanical toys, swings, and the wind. Children with autism perceive, experience, and react to the world differently than children without autism. What is tolerable for most children (e.g., clouds in the sky, a change in activity or routine, sensory input, or a performance request) might be terrifying, distressing, or infuriating for a child with autism. It is critical to assess for unusual and common fears in children with autism because they are present in the majority of these children, they further impair functioning, and effective treatment is available.

L-Carnitine supplementation improves the behavioral symptoms in autistic children / Sarah Farid FAHMY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-1 (January 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-1 (January 2013) . - p.159-66 Titre : L-Carnitine supplementation improves the behavioral symptoms in autistic children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sarah Farid FAHMY, Auteur ; Manal H.

BADARY, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : p.159-66 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  l-Carnitine  CARS Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : l-Carnitine was proposed as a potential treatment for patients diagnosed with autism to ameliorate the behavioral symptoms associated with the disease. Thirty children diagnosed with autism were randomly assigned to receive (100 mg/kg bodyweight/day) of liquid l-carnitine (n = 16) or placebo (n = 14) for 6 months. Measurements included changes in childhood autism rating scale (CARS) form and free and total carnitine levels using tandem mass spectrometry. Results showed significant improvement in CARS scores (P-groups <0.001) and (P-overtime = 0.006), with statistically significant differences in free carnitine levels (P = 0.027) and total carnitine levels (P = 0.036). There was no correlation between baseline free and total carnitine levels with changes in CARS scores from zero to 6 months (r > 0.5, P > 0.05) and generally l-carnitine therapy was well tolerated. In conclusion, l-carnitine therapy (100 mg/kg bodyweight/day) administered for 6 months significantly improved the autism severity, but subsequent studies are recommended.

Risperidone or aripiprazole in children and adolescents with autism and/or intellectual disability: A Bayesian meta-analysis of efficacy and secondary effects / David COHEN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-1 (January 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-1 (January 2013) . - p.167-75 Titre : Risperidone or aripiprazole in children and adolescents with autism and/or intellectual disability: A Bayesian meta-analysis of efficacy and secondary effects Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : David COHEN, Auteur ; Marie RAFFIN, Auteur ; Roberto CANITANO, Auteur ; Nicolas BODEAU, Auteur ; Olivier BONNOT, Auteur ; Didier PERISSE, Auteur ; Angèle CONSOLI, Auteur ; Claudine LAURENT, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : p.167-75 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Second generation antipsychotics  Childhood  Adolescence  AutismIntellectual disability  Adverse effects  Meta-analysis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) induce frequent adverse effects in children and adolescents with each compound appearing to have a specific adverse effect profile. Aripiprazole and risperidone are FDA-approved medications for behavioral disturbances associated with autism and/or intellectual disabilities (ID) in children and adolescents. Using Bayesian meta-analysis of all relevant studies (N = 8; 18 arms; 782 patients), we aimed to calculate odds ratios (OR) or mean average effects to assess efficacy, weight gain, metabolic changes, sedation, and extra-pyramidal syndrome (EPS) of the two compounds. Reporting was incomplete to assess metabolic changes. Compared to placebo, significant treatment-related increases were observed for: CGI response with aripiprazole (OR = 6.09, 95% credible interval [2.3–12.63]) and risperidone (12.8 [5.57–27.33]); weight gain with aripiprazole (OR = 6.28 [1.64–17.12]) and risperidone (7.76 [1.88–25.2]); EPS with risperidone (OR = 3.72 [1.73–7.22]); and somnolence/sedation with aripiprazole (OR = 25.76 [1.29–112.3]) and risperidone (9.63 [3.52–22.79]). There were no significant differences between active compounds. We conclude that short term efficacy of risperidone and aripiprazole are similar for behavioral disturbances associated with autism and/or ID, and that secondary effects are frequent. More research should be conducted on metabolic changes as current literature is lacking compared to other indications in youths.

Minor physical anomalies are slight morphological deviations typically harmless and without cosmetic or medical importance to the individual but indicative of an underlying neurodevelopmental disorder. In genetic autism research the utilization of MPAs has been recommended. In the present study the prevalence of pes planus or flatfoot in adults with ASD compared to age and sex matched neurotypical adults was investigated with two different methods. A photograph of the feet was obtained from underneath while the subjects were standing on a glass table. From this imprint calculations were made. In addition the medial longitudinal foot arch was measured with a Verniper caliper. The ultimate purpose of this study was to evaluate if flatfoot deformity could be utilized as an MPA in ASD. In this cohort of nearly one hundred adults no one fulfilled the predefined criteria of a flatfoot diagnosis but a lower foot arch height was shown in individuals with ASD compared to controls, confirming the clinical impression.

Irony and sarcasm may be especially difficult for children with autism because the meaning of an utterance is the opposite of what is stated. The current study evaluated the effectiveness of a training package, including rules and in vivo multiple exemplar training, to teach three children with autism to detect and respond appropriately to sarcastic statements.

Based on the increasing evidence of immune dysfunction in autism the aim of this study was to measure serum levels of TGF-β 1, IL-23 and IL-17 in relation to the degree of the severity of autism. Serum TGF-β1, IL-23 and IL-17 were measured by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay technique in 50 autistic children aged 6–12 years, in comparison to 50 developmental disabilities and 50 typically developing-matched children. The severity of autism was assessed by using the Childhood Autism Rating Scale. We found that TGF-β1 and IL-23 levels were significantly decreased in the plasma of children with ASD in comparison to control groups (P < 0.0001 for both) with no significant difference in IL-17 levels. There was no correlation between IL-23 and TGF-β1 with IL-17 in children with ASD. There was a negative correlation between TGF-β1, IL-23 and IL-17 with the severity of autism (P < 0.0001, 0.0001, 0.005 respectively). Our results support the findings that immune dysfunction may occur in some children with autism.
