Health-related quality of life and its determinants among adults with autism / Rahul KHANNA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-3 (March 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 8-3 (March 2014) . - p.157-167 Titre : Health-related quality of life and its determinants among adults with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rahul KHANNA, Auteur ; Krutika JARIWALA-PARIKH, Auteur ; Donna WEST-STRUM, Auteur ; Rohan MAHABALESHWARKAR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.157-167 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Adults  Health-related quality of life  Social support  Coping Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among adults with autism, and compare it to the HRQOL of the general adult population in the United States (US). Factors predicting HRQOL of adults with autism were also identified. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted to gather study information. From adults with autism registered with the Interactive Autism Network (IAN), those aged 18 years and above and having the capacity to self-report were identified and approached for study participation. The final sample included 291 adults with autism. One-way t-test revealed adults with autism to have significantly lower physical and mental HRQOL than their counterparts in the US population. Using linear regression analysis, modifiable factors including social support and coping along with other socio-demographic and medial characteristics were identified as significant predictors of physical and mental HRQOL. Greater perceived adequacy of social support from friends and family was associated with better HRQOL, while greater use of maladaptive coping was associated with lower HRQOL. Clinicians and other health interventionist should consider assessing these factors among adults with autism, and provide necessary capabilities to these adults with the aim of improving their HRQOL.

Early language learning profiles of young children with autism: Hyperlexia and its subtypes / Chu-Sui LIN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-3 (March 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 8-3 (March 2014) . - p.168-177 Titre : Early language learning profiles of young children with autism: Hyperlexia and its subtypes Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Chu-Sui LIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.168-177 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Computer-assisted assessment  Hyperlexia  Subtypes Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract This study utilized a standardized and comprehensive computer-aided language assessment tool to identify the early learning characteristics (e.g., hyperlexia) of young children with autism. The tool consisted of six subtests: decoding, homographs, auditory vocabulary comprehension, visual vocabulary comprehension, auditory sentence comprehension, and visual sentence comprehension. Thirty-five children with ASD between the ages of 4 and 6 from Tao-Yuan County in Taiwan participated in the study. Fifteen children with ASD whose decoding performance was 1 standard deviation above the norm of age-matched typically developing children were identified as hyperlexic and selected for further analysis. Five potential hyperlexic subtypes of language learning profiles emerged from this group of children with ASD. This study revealed the heterogeneous nature of language learning characteristics of young children with autism. Such findings have important implications for preschool teachers and other early interventionists who seek to develop specific strategies that capitalize on the learning strengths of young children with ASD.

This disorder can be identified within the first two years of life, thus spurring the popularity of Early Intensive Behavioral Interventions (EIBI). Since 1987, the number of studies has been increasing as efficacy has been established. There has been a broad and inconsistent set of methods and procedures to establish experimental groups, evaluate treatment outcome, and assessing family reactions to treatment. In 2007, Matson noted that most EIBI studies failed to address many important dependent variables include the measurement of core symptoms of ASD. This study evaluates dependent variables used to assess the factors noted above, separated into studies published before 2008 compared to 2008 and later. Results are an indication that improvements are occurring, especially on the measurement of core symptoms of ASD; however, considerably more improvement is needed.

Comorbid symptoms in toddlers diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder with the DSM-IV-TR and the DSM-5 criteria / Lindsey W. WILLIAMS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-3 (March 2014)

ADAMS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.186-192 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Comorbidity  DSM-5  BISCUIT Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is correlated with a high probability of comorbid psychopathology. Comorbid symptoms are often equally impairing and deserving of intervention. With publication of the DSM-5, it is likely that many children who would have met the previous DSM-IV-TR criteria for ASD will not be diagnosed under the current criteria. The aim of this study is to examine common comorbid symptom categories (i.e., tantrum/conduct, inattention/impulsivity, avoidance, anxiety/repetitive behavior, and eating/sleep problems) of children who exhibit significant ASD symptoms but do not meet DSM-5 criteria. The study included toddlers who meet DSM-5 criteria for ASD; 320 who meet DSM-IV-TR criteria only, and a comparison group of 1951 atypically developing toddlers referred for evaluation but who did not meet either set of ASD criteria. Unsurprisingly, toddlers meeting the more stringent DSM-5 ASD criteria also exhibited greater comorbid symptoms, especially anxiety/repetitive behavior. Those who met only DSM-IV-TR criteria exhibited more comorbid symptoms than the atypically developing group in all categories, most notably inattention/impulsivity and tantrum/conduct. As the new DSM-5 criteria are adopted, researchers and clinicians should consider those who do not meet criteria for ASD may still have symptoms warranting assessment or intervention.

The relationship between autism symptom severity and sleep problems: Should bidirectionality be considered? / Hilary L. ADAMS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-3 (March 2014)

Specifically, extant research literature on this topic indicates that sleep problems exacerbate ASD symptom severity. The present study provides an investigation of this topic in a bidirectional manner. Primary results corroborated the compounding effect of sleep problems on ASD symptom severity. Furthermore, the results of a multinomial linear regression provided preliminary evidence that increased ASD symptom severity may predict an increased likelihood of the presence of sleep problems. As such, the authors conclude that the relationship between ASD symptom severity and sleep problems should be considered bidirectionally in future research. Implications for a relationship in each direction are discussed.

Aside from the impact the diagnostic rates, these changes also have implications for the study of comorbid symptoms in the ASD population. As we refine the criteria for the ASD category we must also seek to improve our understanding of the manifestation of comorbid psychopathology within ASD populations. The current study sought to examine diagnostic and temporal influences on the expression of comorbid psychopathology symptoms in 205 infants and toddlers ranging in age from 17 to 37 months. Participants were separated into two groups based on their diagnoses (i.e., Autism Spectrum Disorder [ASD] and atypical development without an ASD). The BISCUIT-Part 2 was administered on two separate occasions, with the initial and follow up assessment occurring within one of two time intervals (4–8 months, or 9–13 months). Results from the current study indicate that the time between initial and follow up assessments is a significant factor influencing symptom expression. In addition to the temporal influence, it was observed that children diagnosed with ASD exhibit significantly less stable symptoms of comorbid psychopathology. Implications of these findings are discussed.

A computerized database search followed by hand searching was conducted to locate empirical studies published after 1995 in peer-reviewed journals that described social participation or social support for adults with ASD. 14 studies were identified, evaluated for strength of evidence, and organized into topical themes. These studies focused on support for social participation from two perspectives: social functioning and quality of life (QoL). Supporting social functioning and social participation is important, as this is one route through which individuals with ASD may be able to form relationships and establish natural support networks, which can in turn contribute to QoL. In addition, working to improve social skills is of key importance as social functioning heavily impacts outcomes in a variety of areas. Social participation, social functioning, and QoL for adults with ASD appear to be facilitated through informal social support from social networks, participation in social skills groups, and membership in support groups.

Profiles of response on the STT suggest enhanced hedonic responses to sweet tastes in psychiatric disorders characterized by dysfunctional reward processing systems, including binge-eating disorders and substance use disorders, and a putative mechanism governing STT responses is the brain opioid system. The present study examined STT responses in 20 adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 38 healthy control adults. There were no differences in sweet taste sensitivity or hedonic response to sweet tastes between the ASD and control groups. Within the ASD sample, ASD symptom severity was associated with sweet taste sensitivity, but not hedonic response to sweet taste. Results may ultimately shed light on brain opioid system functioning in ASD.

There were no differences in sweet taste sensitivity or hedonic response to sweet tastes between the ASD and control groups. Within the ASD sample, ASD symptom severity was associated with sweet taste sensitivity, but not hedonic response to sweet taste. Results may ultimately shed light on brain opioid system functioning in ASD.

A lack of self-consciousness in Asperger's disorder but not in PDDNOS: Implication for the clinical importance of ASD subtypes / Sayaka YOSHIMURA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-3 (March 2014)

Assuming that self-consciousness is a key to understanding social impairments in high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD), we examined self-consciousness in individuals with Asperger's disorder, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDDNOS) and their controls using an episodic memory task. The PDDNOS group consisted of individuals in a milder subgroup of PDDNOS, with less autistic features than Asperger's disorder. In the learning phase, one of three types of questions (phonological, semantic, self-referential) was asked about each following target word. The target words were all personality trait adjectives. Next, a recognition test was conducted. The PDDNOS group, like the control, showed the most superior performance in self-referential processing (i.e. the self-reference effect) while the Asperger's group did not; however, both the ASD groups revealed an atypical pattern of relationship between memory performance and IQ. Individuals with PDDNOS, unlike those with Asperger's disorder, may be self-conscious to the same degree as typically developing individuals, but the cognitive process leading them to self-consciousness seems atypical, causing social impairments similar to those seen in individuals with Asperger's disorder who lack self-consciousness.

Controlling for age and bullying others, regression analyses revealed EF as measured by the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functioning (Gioia et al., 2000) to be a significant predictor across all types of peer victimization (physical, social, and verbal) regardless of group membership. It is concluded that EF may play a pivotal role in explaining why some SN adolescents with and without ASD are at-risk for peer victimization.

Glutamatergic agents in Autism Spectrum Disorders: Current trends / Roberto CANITANO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-3 (March 2014)

This report reviews current treatments for glutamate dysfunction in ASD models and clinical trials. Antagonists of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5) have been tested in preclinical models of autism. Black and Tan Bachyuric (BTBR) mice model behavioral phenotypes of the three core diagnostic domains of autism, e.g. social deficits, impaired language and communication, and repetitive behaviors. A significant reduction in repetitive self-grooming was observed after mGluR5 antagonist administration in BTBR mice. SHANK 3 deficient mice which have altered synaptic transmission and plasticity, were administered IGF-1 treatment to reverse these deficits based on the hypothesis that reduced AMPA receptor levels reflect less mature synapses. Clinical trials have been carried out in ASD with glutamate NMDA receptors, but current findings are not sufficient for conclusions on safety and efficacy. Memantine is an NMDA antagonist under investigation in controlled trials that hopefully will provide new insight on its use in autism. Studies using novel treatments with other glutamatergic agents are also underway and encouraging results have been observed with N-acetylcysteine in treating irritability in ASD.

The present study examined associations between IQ and autistic features in a sample of school aged boys and girls selected from a population-based cohort. The study included detailed examinations of 325 children aged 8–12 years, selected from the sample of the Bergen Child Study. IQ was assessed using the third version of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III) and autistic features by parent reports on the Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ). Boys obtained higher ASSQ scores than girls. Gender and FSIQ had main effects on ASSQ scores, with the ASSQ scores showing a gradual decline with higher FSIQ for both genders. Discrepancies between verbal and performance IQ were relatively unrelated to ASSQ scores. The findings emphasize the importance of conducting careful assessments of children before reaching conclusions about cognitive function and autistic features.

To plan services for people with an intellectual disability who might experience the consequences of aging, an important first step is to obtain epidemiological data on the prevalence of dementia in this vulnerable population. This study aimed to investigate the dementia prevalence rate and its associated demographical factors in adults with an intellectual disability in Taiwan. A national survey was conducted to recruit 460 community residents of at least 45 years of age with an intellectual disability. The Dementia Screening Questionnaire for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (DSQIID) was administered to caregivers to determine the symptoms of dementia in adults with an intellectual disability. The results indicated that 16.5% of the adults with an intellectual disability might have dementia conditions (DSQIID score ? 20). After controlling for other factors in a multiple logistic regression analysis, the older adults with intellectual disability (?55 vs. 45–54, OR = 2.594, 95% CI = 1.438–4.679) and those individuals with a comorbid diagnosis of mental illness or neurological disease (with vs. without, OR = 2.826, 95% CI = 1.593–5.012) had a higher risk of dementia than their counterparts. This study suggests that further longitudinal studies are needed to examine the specific aspects of the functions of living and morbidity that might be affected by aging and concomitant conditions in adults with an intellectual disability.

Further, little is understood about the HRQoL of children with ASD in general. This study assessed the HRQoL and sleep health of a sample of children with ASD and investigated the relationship between HRQoL and overall sleep problems within the context of key clinical characteristics. Study participants included 86 parents of children with ASD between the ages of 4 and 12 years. Subjects were recruited from 3 autism specialty clinics at large academic medical centers and asked to proxy-report on their children's HRQoL and sleep habits. Adjusted regression models showed a consistent negative relationship between sleep disturbance and HRQoL, with greater overall sleep problems being associated with poorer total, physical, and psychosocial HRQoL. Sleep duration and sleep anxiety were also found to be negatively associated with HRQoL. These findings suggest that treatments that are effective in treating sleep disturbances may improve children's HRQoL.

Are Aberrant Behavioral patterns associated with the adaptive behavior trajectories of teenagers with Autism Spectrum Disorders? / Carolina BAEZA-VELASCO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-3 (March 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 8-3 (March 2014) . - p.304-311 Titre : Are Aberrant Behavioral patterns associated with the adaptive behavior trajectories of teenagers with Autism Spectrum Disorders? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Carolina BAEZA-VELASCO, Auteur ; Cécile MICHELON, Auteur ; Cécile RATTAZ, Auteur ; Amaria BAGHDADLI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.304-311 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Aberrant behaviors  Autism  Adolescence  Adaptive behavior trajectories Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract This study aims to identify Aberrant Behavioral (AB) patterns in adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and to examine if these patterns are associated to their adaptive behavior trajectories. The Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) was used to assess problems behaviors in a sample of 152 adolescents with ASD, whose adaptive behavior trajectories were described based on the Vineland communication and socialization scores. Clustering analyses were performed to identify AB patterns and univariate analyses to evaluate the association between AB patterns and adaptive behavior trajectories. We identified four clusters or AB patterns: (1) low scores in the ABC four domains, (2) high scores in irritability and hyperactivity, (3) medium scores in the four domains, and (4) medium level of irritability and high scores in stereotypy, lethargy and hyperactivity. These patterns were significantly linked to the adolescents’ adaptive behavior trajectories. Most adolescents with a high trajectory (87%) were found in clusters 1 and 3, whereas adolescents with a low trajectory were equally distributed in the four clusters. Results suggest that while a high trajectory seems associated with a low level of AB, low trajectory is not necessarily associated with a high level of AB. Study limitations and clinical implications are discussed.

The role of prenatal immune activation in the pathogenesis of autism and schizophrenia: A literature review / Amanda EASSON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-3 (March 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 8-3 (March 2014) . - p.312-316 Titre : The role of prenatal immune activation in the pathogenesis of autism and schizophrenia: A literature review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Amanda EASSON, Auteur ; Marc WOODBURY-SMITH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.312-316 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Schizophrenia  Prenatal  Immune activation  Neurodevelopment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia (SZ) are two neurodevelopmental disorders that, despite having distinct diagnostic criteria, share certain clinical and etiological features. The genetic origin of the two disorders is beyond doubt, with evidence for unique and overlapping genetic risk factors. However, lower estimates of heritability have recently been reported for both disorders, lending support to a significant contribution from non-genetic factors. Notably, there is increasing evidence that immune activation during prenatal life may act as a risk factor for ASD and SZ. In this review, evidence supporting the hypothesis that prenatal immune activation (PIA) influences the onset and progression of ASD and SZ is analyzed. Results show that the detrimental effects of PIA on neurodevelopment include morphological changes in various brain regions, with perhaps the most notable being the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, as well as altered activity of neurotransmitter systems such as the serotonergic system and impairments in working memory and prepulse inhibition. An examination of the risk factor of PIA offers new insight into the pathophysiology of ASD and SZ, and in this way opens up new possibilities for the treatment of these two disorders.

Electroencephalographic studies in children with autism spectrum disorders / Jolanta STRZELECKA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-3 (March 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 8-3 (March 2014) . - p.317-323 Titre : Electroencephalographic studies in children with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jolanta STRZELECKA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.317-323 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  EEG  Gamma rhythm  Mu waves  Phenotype  Epilepsy Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract An important factor in the diagnosis and treatment of Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is prescribed Electroencephalography (EEG). EEG changes may show the following: slowing, asymmetry, sharp waves or spikes, sharp and slow waves, generalized sharp and slow waves, or generalized polyspikes in a distributed or general area, multifocal or focal, unilateral or bilateral, and they may be located in many different areas of the brain. There is a need to look for a EEG phenotype typical of patients with ASD. The importance of gamma waves, rhythm mu, mirror neurons, and their role in patients with ASD was discussed. Epilepsy is reported to occur in one third of ASD patients. In ASD, seizures and EEG paroxysmal abnormalities could represent an epiphenomenon of a cerebral dysfunction independent of apparent lesions. This article reviews ASD and EEG abnormalities and discusses the interaction between epileptiform abnormalities and cognitive dysfunction.

LAUGESON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.324-333 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Student–teacher relationships  Teacher conflict and closeness Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract This study examined relations among behavior problems, social skills, and student–teacher relationships within a sample of children (mean age 8) with autism spectrum disorders or ASD (n = 36) and comparison samples of children with typical development (n = 91) or with intellectual disability (n = 38.) Student–teacher relationships (STRs) for children with ASD appeared to be qualitatively different from those of similarly aged children with ID or typical development. The STRs for children with ASD were considerably poorer, with less closeness and more conflict, than in the two comparison groups. Within the group with ASD, teacher-reported child externalizing behavior and social skills accounted for significant variance in the total score on the Student Teacher Relationship Scale. Conflict was predicted only by externalizing behavior, whereas closeness was predicted by social skills; level of autistic mannerisms negatively related to the teacher's perception of closeness. Findings address the implications for transition to early schooling for children with ASD.

Peer mediation to increase communication and interaction at recess for students with autism spectrum disorders / Rose MASON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-3 (March 2014)

Students with ASD, however, typically fail to achieve even minimal benefit from recess due to social and communication impairments as well as a tendency to withdraw. Implementation of evidence-based interventions such as peer-mediated social skills groups, are necessary to ensure recess is an advantageous learning environment for students with ASD. A multiple-baseline design across participants was used to determine if a functional relationship exists between a social skills instructional program combined with peer networks with school staff as implementers and increases in level of communicative acts for participants with ASD at recess. Results indicate all participants demonstrated an immediate increase in the number of communicative acts with the introduction of the intervention. Implications for practice are discussed.
