Titre : Using common interests to increase socialization between children with autism and their peers Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Maithri SIVARAMAN, Auteur ; Tara A. FAHMIE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1-8 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders Preference Social initiations Social engagement Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The social deficits associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are considered important targets for intervention due to their influence on long-term outcomes. In the present study, we assessed whether identifying and incorporating common interests of children with ASD and their typically developing peers would result in increases in social engagement and initiations. Method Three children diagnosed with ASD were paired with three typically developing peers for the study. A separate multiple stimulus without replacement (MSWO) preference assessment was conducted for the child with ASD and the peer during the treatment to match interests. Data were collected on social engagement and initiations. A concurrent multiple probe design across participants was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment. Results Results showed that the intervention produced rapid increases in social engagement and initiations for all participants, without any direct social skill training. These results were also maintained during the follow-up session. Two out of the three participants showed generalization of skills to the natural environment wherein common interests were not incorporated. Conclusions Our findings suggest that environmental manipulations in the form of incorporating choices of stimuli can increase socialization and generalization of skills. The treatment was effective at increasing social engagement without any intensive prompting for the participants of the study.

However, it is unclear whether unsteady surfaces may exacerbate postural stability difficulties in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Understanding balance on unsteady surfaces is important because uneven surfaces are commonly encountered in daily life. Methods Twenty-one youth on the autism spectrum and 16 youth with typical development (ages 6–16 years, IQ???79) stood on both a fixed and unsteady (tiltable) platform, and center of pressure was measured. Results The group with ASD exhibited differentially more postural sway on the unsteady surface compared to the group with typical development. However, there was substantial variability within the ASD group. Follow-up analyses suggested that much of the variability in postural sway in the ASD group was accounted for by IQ. Conclusions Clinically, these findings suggest that not all individuals with ASD struggle more with postural stability on unsteady surfaces. Instead children and adolescents with ASD and below-average IQ may have particular difficulty on unsteady surfaces and may require accommodations. Further, these findings lay the groundwork for future research to investigate the underlying mechanisms of poorer balance across the autism spectrum.

They are widely used with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), they are highly effective, and are the most-widely studied types of interventions for children with ASD. Nevertheless, findings are not consistent regarding the degree of its effectiveness. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to provide an up-to-date and thorough evaluation of ABA programs for children with ASD using state of the art meta-analytic methodology. Method For the purposes of the present analysis, 29 studies met the inclusion criteria and were consequently analyzed. Effectiveness was evaluated in terms of three domains pertaining to child-related variables: a) IQ scores provided by verbal and non-verbal standardized tests, b) receptive and expressive language, and c) adaptive behavior. This evaluation included comparisons of pre- and post-intervention outcomes rather than comparisons between experimental and control groups. Results and conclusions The findings indicated that ABA programs are moderately to highly effective bringing significant benefits for children with ASD in the aforementioned areas. Specifically, they were very effective in improving intellectual abilities (g?=?0.740); moderately to very effective in improving communication skills (g?=?0.650), expressive-language skills (g?=?0.742) and receptive- language skills (g?=?0.597); moderately effective in improving IQ provided by non-verbal tests (g?=?0.463), adaptive behavior (in total) (g?=?0.422), socialization (g?=?0.444); and had low effectiveness in improving daily living skills (g?=?0.138).

The present study investigated whether treatment utilization differs between adults with and without ASD who have anxiety or depression. Method Using Pennsylvania Medicaid claims data, adults aged 18–65 years diagnosed with ASD and depression or anxiety (n?=?268) were matched 1:4 to adults with depression or anxiety disorder without ASD (n?=?1072). Chi-square tests and generalized linear models were used to estimate differences in diagnoses and psychiatric treatment between groups. Results While the proportion of people prescribed benzodiazepine and antidepressants did not differ between groups, the ASD group had more days per month prescribed for all medications. Adults with ASD also were more likely to be prescribed multiple medications concurrently and to use case management. Adults without ASD were more likely to receive talk therapy for anxiety/depression. Among those receiving talk therapy, adults with ASD averaged more individual visits per month. Conclusions Findings suggest that therapists may need more session time for adults with ASD, although it is unclear if this time is dedicated to anxiety or depression treatment. The greater use of psychotropic medications among adults with ASD may suggest unresponsiveness to the talk therapy they receive or greater clinical complexity.

This study aimed to examine (1) variation in beliefs about ASD among English language proficient White (EP-W) mothers, English language proficient Latino (EPL) mothers, and limited English language proficient Latino (LEP-L) mothers of children with ASD; (2) variation in beliefs about ASD in the context of the child's ASD severity, among EP White mothers, EP Latino others, and LEP Latino mothers; and (3) potential links between maternal beliefs about ASD and children's current ASD treatment. This multi-site study included 305 English or Spanish-speaking parents of children with ASD, ages 2–10 years, who completed a survey about their beliefs about their child's ASD, their child's ASD severity, and treatments used by their children. Results showed that mothers in the EP-W, EP-L, and LEP-L groups differed in their beliefs about viewing ASD as a mystery. Only maternal views of ASD severity in the EP-W group were linked to their beliefs about ASD. Finally, maternal beliefs about ASD having major consequences on their child's life, and ASD being a mystery were strongly associated with a child's use of ASD intervention services. These findings provide new knowledge of how maternal beliefs about ASD vary in linguistically diverse groups, how a child's ASD severity may influence such beliefs, and how maternal beliefs correlate with the amount of therapy children with ASD receive. Future research should address how these beliefs or views are formed, what factors influence them, or whether they are malleable. Understanding parents' beliefs or views of having a child with ASD can potentially help us increase use of ASD intervention services in families of children with ASD.

One of those key diagnostic criteria is Restricted and Repetitive Behaviours, a subset of which is Sensory Features (SF). The current study aimed to investigate the presence of detailed sex-based differences in SF in samples of boys and girls with ASD. Methods The comparative SF profiles of an age- and IQ-matched sample of 51 boys and 51 girls aged from 6 years to 18 years with a formal diagnosis of ASD were investigated via the four Quadrants and the 14 subscale scores obtained from the Sensory Profile (SP) completed by the parents of these children. Results There was a trend for significant sex-based difference on only one of the 18 SP subscales (Sensory Processing Related to Endurance/Tone), and boys had significantly higher scores than girls on only one of the nine items comprising that subscale, which was about upon movement flexibility. Conclusions These findings suggest that sex-based differences in SF for boys and girls with ASD are yet to be determined and appear to be restricted to a relatively small section of SF behaviours related to movement. Possible explanations for these differences and implications for clinical practice are discussed.

The aim of the current study was to map microanalytic changes in social communication during dyadic child-therapist interactions following a 16-week trial of PRT. We proposed that a microanalytic approach would allow us to meticulously outline the dynamics of the “building blocks” of children’s discourse, stressing certain aspect that might go unnoticed in global methods of coding. We hypothesized that PRT would improve measures of linguistic social communication in children. Method We utilized continuous microanalysis of behavior to explore changes in social communication during PRT sessions in 20 high-functioning children with ASD (ages 4–7 years). For each child, two videotaped PRT sessions – at the beginning and end of these 16 weeks – were coded for vocalizations and verbalizations. This allowed us to compare the amount, fluency, adequacy and reciprocity of social communication between child and therapist at the early versus final stages of PRT. Results Compared to baseline, at endpoint, children increased their overall use of vocalizations as well as the congruency of their responses to those of the therapist. The amount of non-congruent responses also dropped significantly. Additionally, children improved in measures of conversational fluency and use of self-referential pronouns. Conclusions These results provide a mapping of microanalytic changes in social and linguistic communication that occur during PRT and point to children’s improvement in social communication behavior leading to greater social reciprocity and conversational synchrony following treatment.

A multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used to evaluate 3- to 12-year-old children from the general population who were in kindergarten and primary school in Shanghai. DNA samples were obtained from 133 ASD cases from preparatory ASD screening. An Affymetrix Cytoscan 750k array was used for copy number variant detection. Among the 711 children who had positive results on a survey completed by both their parents and teachers, a total of 663 (93.2%) children underwent diagnostic evaluation. Of these, 203 children were confirmed to have ASD, including 163 (80.3%) children from special education schools, 29 (14.3%) children from general kindergartens, and 11 (5.4%) children from general primary schools. Final consent had been given for blood collection, and 15 CNVs that may contribute to ASD in 133 cases were identified. The mean ages at which the ASD children with and without pathogenic CNVs (pCNVs) began to speak were 45.6 months and 29.2 months, respectively (t?=?2.452, P?=?0.016), and the ages of walking alone were 33.9 months and 17.5 months, respectively (t?=?5.376, P?0.001). ASD patients with pCNVs showed more abnormal facial features and signs of ASD (long faces, large noses, irregular teeth, dental caries, excessive joint extension) than those without pCNVs. The differences in tooth irregularity and dental caries between children with and without pCNVs were statistically significant (P?0.01). These CNVs included a total of 993 genes. Pathway analysis was performed, and five statistically significant pathways were identified in online databases. This was the first population-based, pilot pathway analysis of CNVs in children with ASD under the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM)-5 diagnostic criteria in China. Results indicate that ASD may be related to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA),dopamine, glycine and synaptic proteins. These findings are consistent with those of previous studies and provide new evidence for the role of regulation of proteolysis and endopeptidase activity in ASD.

Titre : Utility of three N-Item scales of the child behavior checklist 6–18 in autism diagnosis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Amy CAMODECA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.75-85 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Child behavior checklist ASD ADOS Diagnosis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background There is a need for well-validated questionnaire measures as an adjuvant to autism diagnosis. Three past research studies have each delineated a subsample of questions (5-, 9-, and 10-items) from the Child Behavior Checklist 6–18 (CBCL-6-18) that differentiate children with autism from those without (Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001; Duarte, Bordin, Oliveira, & Bird, 2003; Ooi, Rescorla, Ang, Woo, & Fung, 2011; So et al., 2012). Despite the potential of these subscales, no research aside from the initial investigations has been published, and the initial studies had methodological limitations. Method This study investigated the criterion validity of the 5-, 9-, and 10-item autism subscales in a well-characterized sample of 483 community-referred children (X?age?=?10.11, SDage?=?2.99, Autism n?=?127; Not-Autism n?=?356). Autism diagnosis was made using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2 and children were diagnosed according to DSM-5 criteria. Results Receiver Operating Characteristic analyses indicated Area Under the Curve in the poor range (0.633–.684 [95%CIs?=?0.578–.734], ps?0.001) for the three subscales. Sensitivity and specificity could not be optimized to acceptable levels with any cutoff value on any subscale. Conclusion These n-item subscales are not suitable for identification of autism symptomatology. While the difference between current and past research may be related to sample differences, it is also likely that these differences are the result of methodological improvements. These results underscore the need for use of gold-standard measures, not parent report questionnaires, for autism diagnosis and additional well-designed research into the psychometric properties of autism questionnaires.

Titre : Positive and negative cognitive appraisal of the impact of children with autism spectrum disorder on the family Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Liezl SCHLEBUSCH, Auteur ; Shakila DADA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.86-93 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder Cognitive appraisal Families Middle-income country Positive impact Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background This paper investigates the measurement of cognitive appraisal in the context of childhood disability in a middle-income country, and describes how South African families positively and negatively appraise the impact on the family of raising a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Method We used the responses of 180 parents who completed the Family Impact of Childhood Disability (FICD) Scale, which was part of the survey data gathered in a larger study that examined the perspectives of families of young children with ASD in South Africa. Participating families were recruited from 35 disability-related service providers in the Gauteng province. Results Our findings provided preliminary evidence about the suitability of using the FICD Scale in the South African context. The results indicate that the participating families perceived the impact of their child with ASD as both positive and negative. Conclusions The results of this study supported the universal properties of positive and negative appraisal when raising a child with a disability. Like other families in other countries, the participating families perceived the impact of a child with ASD as both positive and negative and revealed that parents are able to re-create positive meanings about the impact of their child diagnosed with ASD.
