Titre : Orientation to and processing of social stimuli under normal and competitive conditions in children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Xueke WANG, Auteur ; Lu CHEN, Auteur ; Peiwei LIU, Auteur ; Rebecca J. POLK, Auteur ; Tingyong FENG, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101614 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Social attention Orientation ability Processing ability Circumscribed interests Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopment disorder characterized by early specific impairments in social attention. However, the abnormality of orientation and processing ability in social attention is still unclear in children with ASD. Method To address this question, we designed two viewing tasks including a background search task (normal social attention condition) and a paired preference task (competitive social attention condition) to explore the social attention in children with ASD. Eye-tracking technology was applied to measure the ability of ASD children to orient towards and process social stimuli under normal and competitive task conditions. Results The results indicated that the initial orientation ability of social attention in children with ASD was normal, but the subsequent processing ability was impaired under both normal and competitive conditions. Specifically as follows: ASD groups, compared with controls groups, had similar time to first fixation to social stimuli but less fixation duration to social stimuli. More importantly, severity of symptoms in ASD children was negatively correlated with the fixation duration to social stimuli. Furthermore, both ASD and TD children preferred to orient and process stimuli related to circumscribed interests (CI), but ASD children had difficulty distinguishing between social and non-CI stimuli under competitive condition. Conclusion These findings suggest that the abnormality in subsequent processing of social stimuli could serve as a key role in social attention impairments, which may provide a new perspective for early identification and intervention training.

Titre : A scoping review of the barriers and facilitators to the implementation of interventions in autism education Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lorna BARRY, Auteur ; Jennifer HOLLOWAY, Auteur ; Jennifer MCMAHON, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101617 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Education Evidence-based practices Barriers Facilitators Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Evidence-based practices (EBPs) have been associated with improved outcomes for individuals with Autism (Eldevik et al., 2009). However, school personnel have been found to implement classroom practices that have little scientific support (Hess et al., 2008). Factors that may affect implementation of EBPs have been theorised to include staff training and buy-in (Forman et al., 2009), however, these factors have not yet been delineated in the autism education setting. This study aims to synthesise and analyse the extant literature related to the barriers and facilitators of implementing EBPs in autism education using a multi-level framework (Domitrovich et al., 2008) examining macro, school and individual factors of implementation. Methods The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Scoping review guidelines were followed to complete the current scoping review. Papers were extracted from the following databases: PsycInfo, Academic Search Complete, ERIC and Education Source. A total of 4,682 papers were returned and screened by abstract and title. Forty-nine papers were included for full text review. From these, six qualitative studies and one mixed-methods study were included for data synthesis and analysis. Results Included studies found evidence for barriers and facilitators at the macro, school, and individual level (Domitrovich et al., 2008). Key barriers included resources, time, and intervention characteristics. Conclusions The barriers and facilitators in the implementation of autism EBPs by school personnel remain poorly understood. This review provides an overview of the extant literature; however, further rigorous research is needed in this area.

Here we describe (1) the process of linguistic and cultural adaptation of the PEERS® social skills program to the Dutch language and culture, and (2) the results from a preliminary adaptation test among 32 adolescents (12–18 years old) with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Although some important cultural adaptations were made, the similarities in effective social behaviors across cultures were most striking. At post-test, autistic adolescents significantly improved their social skills knowledge. In addition, parent-reported and self-reported social engagement (hosted get-togethers) increased. Also, social skill impairment decreased according to parent-reports. Of the 32 adolescents who completed the program, 31% (n = 10) achieved a clinically significant change on the SRS-2 (?SRS-2 > 11.12). Future research examining the effectiveness of the Dutch version of PEERS® should include a larger randomized controlled trial, for which we provide several methodological considerations.

These skills are a crucial but often an overlooked part of the development process, especially in populations with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In view of this, the present review was undertaken with the purpose of determining the extent of FMS impairments in children with ASD compared to typically developing children and those with other developmental disorders. Method A total of 24 studies that measured FMS in children with ASD using product- and process-oriented standardized movement assessment batteries were included in the review. Results The results showed that impairments in FMS are highly prevalent across the ASD spectrum and that children with ASD exhibited greater impairments in FMS competencies especially object control and locomotor skills compared to typically developing children and those with other developmental disorders. Moreover, these impairments in FMS appear to emerge early in life and persist throughout late childhood years in the majority of children with ASD. Conclusion These findings provide preliminary evidence suggesting that FMS has the potential to be an early motor marker in children with ASD, and that practitioners should therefore be encouraged to consider movement skill evaluations as a routine investigation for children with ASD.

Whilst certain characteristics of autism may make individuals vulnerable to increased involvement with the police, either as a victim or person of interest, evidence regarding this is scant. The present study used a population-based dataset to describe the characteristics of domestic violence events involving autistic and non-autistic adults. Methods Text mining and descriptive statistics were applied to police-recorded data for 1,601 domestic violence events involving autism and 414,840 events not involving autism in the state of New South Wales, Australia from January 2005 to December 2016. Results The relationship between autistic victims and perpetrators was predominantly familial or carer whereas events not involving autism were predominantly involved intimate partners. Abuse types and injuries sustained were similar for both autistic and non-autistic events. The most common mental conditions present in autistic perpetrators were developmental conditions and intellectual disability, whilst non-autistic perpetrators most commonly reported psychoactive substance use or schizophrenia. Conclusions These results highlight the need to further understand the risk factors for strain and violence in relationships between autistic adults and their family members or carers, especially for those with comorbid behavioural developmental conditions. Given the uniqueness of domestic violence involving autism found in this study and the potentially unique nature of the circumstances surrounding these events, appropriate police awareness and training in relation to autism is needed.

A better understanding of positive contributions among this population can inform clinicians and policymakers and lead to improved outcomes for families. This review aimed to systematically examine studies measuring positive contributions among parents of children with ASD (<18 years) and to subsequently summarise the conceptualisations and measurements of positive contributions within the literature and investigate associated child, parental, family and contextual factors. Method An electronic database search was conducted using Medline, Psycinfo, CINAHL, ERIC and Embase: 94 articles were identified for full text review and 26 studies were selected. The quality of studies were appraised and data were synthesised according to the review aims. Results Positive contributions were conceptualised in nine different ways across selected studies. Ten standardised self-report questionnaires, one unstandardised questionnaire and one closed question were used to measure these constructs. Variables associated with higher positive contributions within this group included older age of child, being of an ethnic minority group, being a mother, higher psychological wellbeing and personal resources, relationship satisfaction, social support and narrative writing. Conclusions This review verified previous reports of positive contributions among parents of children with ASD and highlighted potential areas of support. Strengths and limitations of the studies are highlighted and implications for future research and clinical practice are discussed.

Titre : Family adaptation among parents of children on the autism spectrum without a comorbid intellectual disability: A test of the Double ABCX model Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jane MELEADY, Auteur ; Finiki NEARCHOU, Auteur ; Jessica BRAMHAM, Auteur ; Alan CARR, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101637 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) Parent Positive contributions Family quality of life Double ABCX Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background This study examined family adaptation among parents of school age children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who do not have a comorbid diagnosis of intellectual disability (ID). Family adaptation was measured by parents’ perceived family quality of life and satisfaction with life. Associated factors were derived from the Double ABCX model of family adaptation (i.e. autism symptom severity, problem behaviours, pile-up life demands, social support, cognitive appraisals and coping strategies). In particular, we were interested in the potential association between positive contributions directly associated with this caregiving experience and outcomes. Method Participants (N = 104) were parents of school age children who had a diagnosis of ASD and no comorbid ID. Parents completed a battery of self-report questionnaires via online survey. Results All variables within the model were associated with one or both of the outcomes, with the exception of problem focused coping. Social support, positive contributions and passive-avoidance coping remained significant unique predictors of both outcomes within multiple regression analyses. Passive avoidance coping was found to moderate the relationship between symptom severity and parents’ satisfaction with life. Conclusions The Double ABCX Model provides a useful framework in identifying risk and protective factors for parents.

Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) Parent Positive contributions Family quality of life Double ABCX Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background This study examined family adaptation among parents of school age children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who do not have a comorbid diagnosis of intellectual disability (ID). Family adaptation was measured by parents’ perceived family quality of life and satisfaction with life. Associated factors were derived from the Double ABCX model of family adaptation (i.e. autism symptom severity, problem behaviours, pile-up life demands, social support, cognitive appraisals and coping strategies). In particular, we were interested in the potential association between positive contributions directly associated with this caregiving experience and outcomes. Method Participants (N = 104) were parents of school age children who had a diagnosis of ASD and no comorbid ID. Parents completed a battery of self-report questionnaires via online survey. Results All variables within the model were associated with one or both of the outcomes, with the exception of problem focused coping. Social support, positive contributions and passive-avoidance coping remained significant unique predictors of both outcomes within multiple regression analyses. Passive avoidance coping was found to moderate the relationship between symptom severity and parents’ satisfaction with life. Conclusions The Double ABCX Model provides a useful framework in identifying risk and protective factors for parents. Support was provided for inclusion of both positive predictor and outcome variables, at the individual and family level. Proximal variables, such as maladaptive coping strategies, may explain associations between stressors and wellbeing. Methodological considerations and implications for clinical practice are discussed.

PITCHFORD, Auteur ; Chandler F. WENTZ, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101638 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Motor impairment Functional skills Early intervention Core deficits Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is now the highest among the developmental disabilities in the United States, with recent statistics estimates of 1 in every 54 children. While growing attention on the early intervention services is warranted, what is not well understood is the relationship between the core deficits of ASD and the early functional skills in young children with ASD. Objectives The primary objective of this study was to determine the relationship between early developmental functional skills and behavioral outcomes in the core deficits of ASD. The secondary objective was to determine if the onset of early developmental functional milestones were related to age of diagnosis. Methods The current study is a secondary data analysis of the Simons Foundation Powering Autism Research for Knowledge cohort from the Simons Foundation Research Initiative (SFARI). Study objectives were examined using multiple linear regression analyses. To address the first objective, independent analyses were conducted for each behavioral subscale (Communication, Repetitive Behavior, Atypical Behavior, Social Reciprocity, and Peer Interaction). For the second objective a linear regression analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between core deficits and age of diagnosis. Results Multiple early functional milestones were significantly associated with current communication deficits, including the month of first independent walking (b = 0.11, p = .03), using words (b = -0.05, p = .02), and using combined phrases (b = 0.20, p < .001). However, the child's current age was the strongest predictor of current communication deficits (b = -0.53, p <. 001). The other core ASD deficit domains (i.e., Repetitive Behavior, Atypical Behavior, Social Reciprocity, and Peer Interaction) also had multiple significant associations with early functional milestones, but variance explained was negligible (R2 = 0.02?0.05). In terms of the second objective, significant predictors of the age of ASD diagnosis (in order of average attainment) included: month of first reported smiling (b = - 0.17, p = .007), walking (b = 0.24, p = .002), use of combined words (b = -0.10, p = .02), combined phrases (b = -0.40, p < .001), bladder-trained (b = -0.07, p = .03), and bowel-trained (b = -0.17, p <.001). Conclusion This study represents one of the first attempts at examining relationships among the acquisition of early functional milestones and outcomes in children with ASD. The current study may provide critical information related to the screening, diagnosis and intervention prescription for young children with ASD.

This study aimed to systematically examine the efficacy of psychosocial and pharmacological treatments for depression in youth and adults with ASD to inform clinical practice. Method PsycINFO, PubMed, and CINAHL online databases were searched for peer-reviewed journal articles containing any combination of the following terms in the abstract: (1) autism, autistic, Asperger, or “pervasive developmental disorder,” (2) depression or depressive and (3) treatment, intervention, trial, therapy, medication, drug, or antidepressant. Evidence from studies meeting the predetermined criteria of inclusion was assessed for its strength to inform clinical decision-making. Results Twenty psychosocial treatment studies and five pharmacological treatment studies met the criteria of inclusion. Psychosocial interventions studied the effectiveness of cognitive remediation therapy, behavioral therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), combined psychosocial intervention, mindfulness-based therapy (MBT), and social, academic, and/or vocational skills training. Pharmacological interventions studied the effectiveness of anti-epileptic drug, norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, stimulant, atypical antipsychotic, and NMDA receptor antagonist treatment. Conclusions Although much recent research has investigated potentially effective treatments for depression in individuals with ASD, the strength of the evidence remains generally poor. However, studies indicate preliminary efficacy for MBT. A number of investigations have examined the effect of CBT on depression in persons with ASD; however, the results are inconsistent. Further research is needed to advance clinical practice for individuals with ASD and comorbid depression.

In the current study, we aimed to expand understanding of transition preparation and the role and influence of parental factors for autistic youth including perceptions of the likelihood (i.e., parent expectations), importance, and parental influence over postsecondary outcomes as well as parental self-efficacy, parent stress, and parent concerns for the future. Method We surveyed 269 parents of autistic youth (ages 14–21, 78.2 % male) who did not have co-occurring intellectual disability. We used linear regression analyses to examine youth and parent predictors of the frequency of transition preparation activities, parents’ overall sense of preparation, and parental worry about the future. We also qualitatively analyzed open-ended responses about parent concerns. Results The most frequently endorsed transition preparation activities were discussions about the future and chores. Parental factors were associated with greater frequency of transition preparation activities, greater overall sense of preparation for the transition, and less overall worry. Key areas of parent concern were related to youth independence, social life, employment/finances, autism features, safety, happiness, and health. Conclusions The results of this study have implications for education and interventions focused on supporting autistic youth and their parents for the transition to adulthood. There is a need for transition-related interventions that focus on parents and on particular instruction for raising expectations, enhancing parent self-efficacy, and increasing parental sense of control over outcomes.

LENSE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101641 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD Music Parental responsiveness Parent-Child interaction Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Parent-child play interactions offer an important avenue for supporting social development in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Musical play is a natural and ubiquitous form of parent-child play. As a familiar, reinforcing, and predictable activity, musical play may support parent-child interactions by scaffolding children’s attention to the play activities, while also providing parents with a familiar and accessible context to promote parental responsiveness. However, musical play may also impede interactions due to its sensory and repetitive components. Method 12 parent-child dyads of preschoolers with ASD were video-recorded during a ten-minute play session that included musical and non-musical toys. Interactions were coded for parent and child musical engagement, as well as parental responsiveness. Results Parent-child dyads varied in their amount of musical engagement during play, which was not related to children’s language level. Overall, parents showed similar levels of responsiveness to children’s play across musical and non-musical activities, but type of parental responsiveness differed depending on the play context. Parents provided significantly more physical play responses and significantly fewer verbal responses during musical vs. non-musical engagement with their child. Conclusions There are substantial individual differences in children with ASD’s musical engagement during a parent-child free play. Children’s musical engagement impacted type of parental responsiveness, which may relate to the familiarity, accessibility, and sensory nature of musical play/toys. Results suggest that musical play/toys can both support and hinder different types of parental responsiveness with implications for incorporation of musical activities into interventions.

National administrative datasets such as the New Zealand Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI) may offer a cost-effective and sustainable way to monitor prescribing trends in the context of clinical and systemic change. Method Medication dispensing for New Zealand children and young people with ASD was explored using the IDI. Psychotropic and non-psychotropic medication dispensing rates, and rates of polypharmacy within a one-year period were examined. Comparisons of medication use were made to children and young people with another neurodevelopmental condition, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and the general population. Results The vast majority (83 %) of children and young people with ASD were prescribed medication within a one-year period and they received a mean of four unique medications. High dispensing of antihistamine, asthma, gastrointestinal, and psychotropic medications was observed. Just over half (57 %) of those with ASD experienced polypharmacy of three or more medications, and 11 % of 10 or more. Medication dispensing rates were significantly higher among the ASD group compared to those with ADHD and the general population. Polypharmacy rates were higher among both the ASD and ADHD group compared to the general population. Conclusions It is clear that New Zealand children and young people with ASD experience a significant and disproportionate medication burden. Although further investigation is needed to fully understand underlying reasons and clinical implications, the IDI appears to be a valuable means of monitoring prescribing trends over time.

Method Growth mixture modelling was used to explore classes of autistic and typically-developing participants based on caregiver-reported total sensory behaviours on the Short Sensory Profile (SSP) at two time points, when children were aged 2-5 and 4-10 years of age, respectively. Results Three classes are described: a mixed class of autistic and typically-developing participants with few problematic sensory behaviours (“Stable Mild”), a mostly-autistic class with more problematic sensory features (“Stable Intense”), and a small class of autistic participants whose sensory features reportedly worsened (“Increasingly Intense”). Autistic participants in the Stable Intense class exhibited high anxiety, while autistic participants in the Increasingly Intense class appeared to obtain high scores on cognitive assessments. Conclusions The heterogeneity of sensory features and challenges found in the present study may suggest that practitioners should conduct individualized assessments of sensory features in ASD. Furthermore, practitioners should be aware of links between sensory features and anxiety in ASD, which may imply that sensory accommodations and supports could protect against anxiety. Finally, the worsening of sensory features over time in the Increasingly Intense subgroup may indicate a need for continued monitoring of changes in sensory features, perhaps especially as sensory environments change during periods of transition.

However, studies investigating this attentional bias in individuals with ASD vary in paradigms and results. Methods We conducted a meta-analysis across different reaction time tasks, including dot-probe, spatial cuing, visual search and emotional Stroop tasks, to examine the attentional bias toward threatening emotional faces in individuals with ASD. Narrative synthesis further summarized possible moderators affecting attentional bias. Results We used systematic searches to identify 21 empirical studies with 1,805 participants in total (ASD n = 909). Individuals with ASD showed a small but significant attentional bias toward threatening emotional faces over other faces (g = 0.162), which was similar to individuals with typical development (g = 0.203). Moderator analysis showed that adults with ASD showed a larger attentional bias than children with ASD. For the dot-probe and spatial cuing paradigms, attentional bias toward threatening emotional faces was observed when stimuli were presented for less than 500 ms, and bias away from threatening emotional faces was shown when stimuli were presented for over 500 ms. For the visual search paradigm, attentional bias was significant in button-press tasks, but not in touch-screen tasks. Furthermore, attentional bias was only observed when the stimuli were schematic faces and reference materials were happy faces. Conclusions Individuals with ASD showed a small but significant attentional bias toward threatening emotional faces. Furthermore, significant moderators included stimulus presentation, response type, reference face type, stimulus type, and age. Thus, more research is needed to further explore attentional bias toward threatening emotional faces in individuals with ASD.

Interventions that address VS in individuals with ASD have been examined for a few decades. However, there are no current reviews that evaluate the methodological rigor of the empirical literature and provide a synthesis of the evidence based on high-quality research. Therefore, the present review aimed to evaluate the quality of VS interventions for individuals with ASD, summarize the characteristics of studies that demonstrate quality, and determine the strength of evidence. Method Systematic search procedures were implemented and articles were identified based on predetermined inclusion criteria. Sixty studies were included for quality evaluation against the What Works Clearinghouse single-case research design standards, of which 39 studies were further synthesized. Results Findings indicate response interruption and redirection, auditory stimulus-based and consequence based interventions to be promising with moderate to strong effects, whereas sensory integration interventions have no empirical support. However, majority of the interventions were implemented by researchers rather than practitioners and few studies addressed social validity. Conclusions While much of the VS literature demonstrates strong internal validity, we encourage future researchers to investigate the efficacy and feasibility of these interventions when implemented by practitioners and parents. Additionally, assessment of social validity of the interventions is strongly encouraged. We also recommend that practitioners consider the strength of intervention effect when making treatment selection decisions.

This case-control study investigates the association between breastfeeding and ASD. Methods Children below 36 months recently diagnosed with ASD were matched to healthy controls by gender and gestational age. The association between ASD and breastfeeding was investigated in univariate and multivariate conditional logistic regression analyses, adjusting for the confounding effects of socio-demographic, pregnancy, and birth variables; parental characteristics, and family history. Results Cases (n?=?46) were older than controls (n?=?184), mean (SD) 31.6 (4.9) versus 25.5 (5.6) months, (p?0.001). ASD was associated with lack of exclusive breastfeeding in univariate (OR?=?0.37, 95% CI: 0.19 to 0.72) and multivariate regression analyses (OR?=?0.37, 95% CI: 0.16 to 0.88). There were no significant associations between ASD and the durations of exclusive breastfeeding or any breastfeeding. Other independent predictors of ASD in the adjusted analysis were the lack of intake of prenatal vitamins, advanced paternal age, lower paternal education, higher intake of drugs prenatally, and family history of ASD. Conclusions This study provides further evidence on the protective effect of exclusive breastfeeding against ASD. Future studies may help determine whether advising pregnant women to exclusively breastfeed their infants would reduce ASD, especially those at high risk for ASD such as those with a family history of ASD. Further research to understand the physiological basis of the protective effects of breastfeeding is essential, as well as studies that target the optimal duration of exclusive breastfeeding that can protect from ASD.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of Arabic versions of the Home and Preschool- Home versions of the Sensory Processing Measure(SPM), an instrument widely used for clinical and research purposes. Method The overall study sample included 276 children (mean age?=?6.7 years; range: 2 to 12), with 192 children (151 males) with a clinical diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 84 typically developing (TD; 48 males) children. The SPM-Home sub-sample consisted of 117 children and the SPM-Preschool-Home sample consisted of 159 children. Results Mean scores of the total SPM-Home and of the subscale scores were significantly (p?.001) higher in the ASD group compared to the TD group, with large effect sizes. Similar results were obtained in the SPM-P-Home for the total score and five of the eight subscales. With one exception, the total scale and the subscales of each measure had good to excellent reliability estimates (median Cronbach's alpha: .86). The factor structure in this sample was consistent with that established in previous studies. The measures also demonstrated good evidence of discriminant validity in ROC analyses. Conclusions The findings of this study establish the reliability and validity of the Arabic versions of both the SPM-Home and the SPM-P-Home.

This study examines visual local-global processing approaches in older autistic adults. Method The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (RCFT) is a popular measure of visual-constructional ability, organisational strategy and memory. In this matched-control study, we explore if the qualitative and quantitative performance on the RCFT can be used as an operationalisation of central coherence in autistic older adults (n = 36; ages 50?84 years), and whether RCFT performance associates with autism-symptoms. WAIS-IV scores were also obtained to test for local-global differences in performance. Results No evidence was found for deviating processing approaches on the RCFT (both quantitative and qualitative) in the ASD group, although copying the RCFT was significantly slower. The WAIS-IV showed no differences between participant-groups, except for a significantly better performance on Visual Puzzles by autistic participants. Conclusions Using visual local-global processing tests common to clinical practice, this study provides no evidence for a weak central coherence but some support for enhanced perceptual functioning in late-diagnosed high functioning older autistic adults. There was no evidence for altered strategic approaches during the completion of a complex visual information processing task (RCFT). Combining a quantitative and a qualitative scoring system of visual information processing tasks (such as RCFT) can elucidate the preferred visual information processing style in autistic individuals.

Method The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (RCFT) is a popular measure of visual-constructional ability, organisational strategy and memory. In this matched-control study, we explore if the qualitative and quantitative performance on the RCFT can be used as an operationalisation of central coherence in autistic older adults (n = 36; ages 50?84 years), and whether RCFT performance associates with autism-symptoms. WAIS-IV scores were also obtained to test for local-global differences in performance. Results No evidence was found for deviating processing approaches on the RCFT (both quantitative and qualitative) in the ASD group, although copying the RCFT was significantly slower. The WAIS-IV showed no differences between participant-groups, except for a significantly better performance on Visual Puzzles by autistic participants. Conclusions Using visual local-global processing tests common to clinical practice, this study provides no evidence for a weak central coherence but some support for enhanced perceptual functioning in late-diagnosed high functioning older autistic adults. There was no evidence for altered strategic approaches during the completion of a complex visual information processing task (RCFT). Combining a quantitative and a qualitative scoring system of visual information processing tasks (such as RCFT) can elucidate the preferred visual information processing style in autistic individuals.

However, evidence lacks on the effect of cognitive abilities. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the moderating effect of cognitive abilities on both associations. Method We studied 241 individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) with varying cognitive abilities (mean age: 15.1 years, range: 5.1 to 54.1; IQ?40 to > 130), using standardized questionnaires on sensory, emotional and behavioural functioning and social participation. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to investigate the moderation effects. Results Individuals with higher cognitive abilities showed relatively more emotional and behavioural problems when reporting more sensory processing problems compared to autistic individuals having lower cognitive abilities (beta = -.29, p = .004). No significant effect occurred for social participation. Conclusions Cognitive abilities moderated the association of atypical sensory processing with emotional and behavioural problems, but not with social participation. In particular, higher cognitive abilities were associated with more problems. This may imply that cognitive abilities should be accounted for in the provision of care to autistic individuals.

Methods We recruited 340 subjects via an outpatient psychiatric service in Italy. Forty-eight had a diagnosis of ASD, confirmed after a comprehensive clinical assessment and the administration of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2 (ADOS-2). The remaining 292 participants had other diagnoses, confirmed after a careful psychiatric evaluation and the administration of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5). The ASDASQ was administered to contact clinicians of each subject. Results The ASDASQ showed outstanding accuracy (AUC = 0.96) in discriminating between ASD and non-ASD patients, with good sensitivity (0.85) and specificity (0.92). Agreement with clinical diagnosis was substantial (k = 0.68). Internal consistency of the tool was good (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.82), while intra- (ICC = 0.97) and inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.92) were excellent. We found also a moderate correlation between ASDASQ and ADOS-2 scores in the ASD sample (r = 0.56). Conclusion Our findings suggest that the ASDASQ, in the Italian adaptation, may be considered a quick, simple, and effective tool to screen for ASD among psychiatric outpatients. Further studies are needed to evaluate its utility in other clinical settings.
