Autism spectrum disorders associated with chromosomal abnormalities / Adriana LO-CASTRO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 4-3 (July-September 2010)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 4-3 (July-September 2010) . - p.319-327 Titre : Autism spectrum disorders associated with chromosomal abnormalities Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Adriana LO-CASTRO, Auteur ; Paolo CURATOLO, Auteur ; Arianna BENVENUTO, Auteur ; Cinzia GALASSO, Auteur ; Cristina PORFIRIO, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.319-327 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism-spectrum-disorders Chromosomal-abnormalities Mental-retardation Dysmorphic-features Minor-physical-anomalies Genetics Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) constitute a class of severe neurodevelopmental conditions with complex multifactorial and heterogeneous etiology. Despite high estimates of heritability, genetic causes of ASDs remain elusive, due to a high degree of genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. So far, several “monogenic” forms of autism have been identified, including Rett syndrome, Fragile-X syndrome, and Tuberous Sclerosis, accounting only for a small part of ASDs cases. Further evidences for rare mutations in the etiology of ASDs come from cytogenetic studies. Traditional cytogenetic approaches have highlighted the high frequency of large chromosomal abnormalities (about 7% of patients) and, more recently, the advent of high-resolution oligonucleotide microarrays has made possible to screen genome-wide for structural changes. In this review, we describe less known chromosomal abnormalities reported in association with ASDs and provide some clues to neuropediatricians for a more specific diagnostic evaluation of patients with ASDs.

Database, hand, and ancestry searches identified 15 articles for review. Each study was analyzed and summarized in terms of (a) participants, (b) specifics of the intervention, (c) dependent variables, (d) results, and (e) certainty of evidence. Critical analysis of each study's methodological rigor and results reveal that the current corpus of research does not support the use of GFCF diets in the treatment of ASD. Given the lack of empirical support, and the adverse consequences often associated with GFCF diets (e.g., stigmatization, diversion of treatment resources, reduced bone cortical thickness), such diets should only be implemented in the event a child with ASD experiences acute behavioral changes, seemingly associated with changes in diet, and/or medical professionals confirm through testing the child has allergies or food intolerances to gluten and/or casein.

What studies of family home movies can teach us about autistic infants: A literature review / Catherine SAINT-GEORGES in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 4-3 (July-September 2010)

Out of 41 original reports found since 1975, we retained 18 studies (317 films, maximum), sorted according to their methodological design using a quality grid. In the first 2 years of life, signs that differentiated children with ASD from children with developmental delays were as follows: less of a response to their name, less looking at others, lower eye contact quality and quantity, less positive facial expression and intersubjective behaviors (e.g., showing shared attention). Studies focusing on regression confirmed the clinical validity of the phenomena. We conclude that findings from home movies studies along with prospective studies have created the bases for identification of infants and toddlers at risk of developing ASD before the 18–24-month period, despite early diagnosis of autism remains a complex challenge.

Four individuals with developmental disabilities and problem behavior maintained by automatic reinforcement were recruited for the study. Single-item stimulus preference assessments were conducted to identify a variety of preferred items associated with low levels of problem behavior. During the treatment analysis, a multielement design embedded within a reversal design was utilized, and the following NCR conditions were compared: (a) presenting preferred items one at a time, (b) presenting multiple items simultaneously, and (c) rotating single items after a predetermined time period. Results indicate that all three NCR presentations methods were effective in decreasing problem behavior, but the single-item condition resulted in the lowest levels of problem behavior for three of the four participants.

Stress and self-perceived parenting behaviors of parents of children with autistic spectrum conditions / Lisa A. OSBORNE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 4-3 (July-September 2010)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 4-3 (July-September 2010) . - p.405-414 Titre : Stress and self-perceived parenting behaviors of parents of children with autistic spectrum conditions Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lisa A. OSBORNE, Auteur ; Phil REED, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.405-414 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Parenting-stress Self-perceived-parenting-behaviors Child-behavior-problems Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The relationships between parenting stress and self-perceived parenting behaviors in 138 parents of children with autistic spectrum conditions were studied over 9–10 months. Apart from perceived communication being attenuated, there were no major areas of self-perceived parenting weakness. Parenting stress closely interacted with self-perceived involvement, communication, and limit setting over time. In parents of young children (below 4), high initial levels of parenting stress resulted in less subsequent self-perceived involvement, and poorer communication, with the child.

Apart from perceived communication being attenuated, there were no major areas of self-perceived parenting weakness. Parenting stress closely interacted with self-perceived involvement, communication, and limit setting over time. In parents of young children (below 4), high initial levels of parenting stress resulted in less subsequent self-perceived involvement, and poorer communication, with the child. Good self-perceived initial skills for limit setting resulted in lower levels of parenting stress. These relationships help to explain the impact of parenting stress on child behavior problems, and may be consistent with development of parental adaptive behavioral strategies to deal with extreme stress levels.

Autistic traits in the general population: What mediates the link with depressive and anxious symptomatology? / Ainslie ROSBROOK in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 4-3 (July-September 2010)

This study examined the role of three potential mediating variables in the relationship between autistic traits and depressive/anxious symptomatology in the general population. Participants included 231 university students (114 males, 117 females) ranging in age from 17 to 35 (M = 18.9, SD = 2.77). Participants completed five standardised questionnaires which measured: autistic traits, depressive/anxious symptomatology, social competence, social problem-solving ability, and teasing history. Two multiple mediation analyses were conducted using the bootstrapping method. Results revealed that social problem-solving ability and past teasing experiences were significant partial mediators in the relationship between autistic traits and depressive symptoms. However, contrary to expectations, social competence was not a significant mediator in the relationship between autistic traits and depressive symptoms. In addition, social problem-solving ability and past teasing experiences were significant partial mediators in the relationship between autistic traits and anxiety symptoms. This suggests that interventions to reduce anxious and depressive symptomatology in the ASD population should focus upon improving social problem-solving ability and reducing bullying experiences at school. These initial findings should be confirmed in the ASD population in future research.

Seventy-eight children with ASD, aged 15–35 months (M = 25.4, SD = 4.2), received either applied behavioral analysis (ABA) or integration of several intervention approaches (Eclectic) in community center-based programs. Outcome was measured after 1 year of intervention using standardized autism diagnostic tests, and cognitive and adaptive skills evaluations. ASD diagnosis was highly stable (99%). Both intervention groups improved significantly in verbal cognitive abilities and in socialization and communication adaptive skills, but no significant difference between the intervention groups was documented. Less severe autism symptoms at baseline were associated with better progress in adaptive skills and in cognitive abilities. Within the group with less severe autism symptoms, those who received Eclectic intervention had a better outcome than those who received ABA in communication and socialization adaptive skills as reported by the parents, but not in the standardized cognitive test results. The child's baseline social abilities and deficits appear to be crucial variables for intervention outcomes and should be considered in treatment approach decision-making.

The present study aims to examine teachers’ perceptions of sexual behaviors of 56 children with low functioning autism (LFA) and 20 children with high functioning autism (HFA) or Asperger Syndrome (AS). Teachers perceived children with LFA as exhibiting less socially acceptable behaviors, as possessing lessened awareness of privacy related rules, and as having more limited knowledge of typical sexual responses and behaviors in comparison to children with HFA or AS. However, teachers expressed more concerns for children with HFA or AS. These findings should be taken into consideration when designing intervention programs targeting sexuality of individuals with ASD.

This study examined whether imitation abilities are related to autism severity and to motor skills. Furthermore, the performance of children with ASD in four imitation situations (body movements and ‘action on objects’, using meaningful and non-meaningful tasks) was compared. Twenty-five children aged 32–51 months diagnosed with autism (23) and ASD (2) were evaluated for autism severity using the Autism Diagnosis Observation Schedule and for gross and fine motor skills using the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales. Controlling for cognitive level, imitation abilities in all four situations correlated significantly only with autism severity measures and mostly with socio-communication deficits. Motor abilities were below average and did not correlate with imitation abilities nor with autism severity. Comparison of the four imitation situations revealed that performances of meaningful actions were better than non-meaningful actions and imitation of ‘action on objects’ was better than imitation of body movements. The current research supports the fact that socio-communication deficits and not motor abilities are linked to imitation abilities in young children with autism.

We found a trend of superior nonverbal performance in Raven's Test in our HFA/AS participants compared to controls, and this “superiority” achieved statistical significance in the HFA/AS subgroup with a FIQ ≥ 90. Superior fluid intelligence seemed to exist in individuals both with HFA and with AS.

The groups were matched on chronological age and the participants were within the normal range of intelligence. The questionnaire, symptoms of autism before the age of 2 (SAB-2) comprised seven areas: contact and social activity, responses to sensory perceptions, communication and language/speech, food/feeding and sleep, play and fixations/rituals, movements and motor skills, and development and behavior. An eighth area of possible early suspicions was also part of the questionnaire. There were significant differences between the groups in all the areas and that the parents in many cases were well aware of anomalies in their children's behavior at an early age. Food/feeding and sleep and contact and social activity were found to be the areas that caused most concern. The SAB-2 was also judged to be a valid and reliable instrument for retrospective assessment of infants.

The purpose of this study wais to investigate whether “mirroring” interaction, which includes being imitated by an adult, can facilitate the social responsiveness of toddlers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Participants were 16 toddlers (2- and 3-year-olds) with ASD. This study consisted of three experimental phases: in the first baseline phase, the experimenter manipulated toys in front of the participant; in the second phase, the experimenter reproduced (mirrored) all of the child's behaviors; and in the third phase, the first baseline phase was repeated. Our results demonstrated that although the mirroring effect differed by age, the effect was observed in both 2- and 3-year-olds with ASD. In addition, the overall magnitude of the mirroring effect differed by IQ, but not by the severity of autistic symptoms. Mirroring interaction is promising as an early intervention for a wide range of children with ASD.

AHEARN, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.479-489 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Video-modeling Response-chains Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Video modeling has been found to be an effective procedure for teaching a variety of skills to persons with autism, however, some individuals do not learn through video instruction. The purpose of the current investigation was to teach children with autism, who initially did not imitate a video model, to construct three toy structures through the use of a segmented video modeling procedure. Four male children, ages 4–6, diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder participated. Children were initially evaluated on a set of prerequisite skills including motor imitation and delayed match-to-sample. Children who were unable to perform delayed matching tasks were also not able to imitate an 8-step video model. A segmented video modeling teaching procedure was introduced. This procedure involved showing an increasing number of steps in the response chain across trials. A changing criterion design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the segmented video modeling procedure. Results showed that the segmented video modeling procedure was effective for teaching children to imitate an 8-step response chain.

How anomalies in 24-h sleep patterns relate to behaviour difficulties in children with different types of ID remains to be elucidated. The purpose of this study was to assess 24-h sleep and behaviour patterns in children with a variety disorders including autism (n = 34), Down syndrome (DS, n = 12), Prader-Willi syndrome (n = 12), and children with intellectual impairments due to unknown etiologies (n = 24). 33 typically developing (TD) children served as a control group. 24-h sleep and behavioural data were accumulated over a 14-day period using diary methodology. Group differences in daytime behaviour and sleep patterns were noted with children with DS being quieter, having higher levels of daytime sleepiness, and being better behaved than children with autism. Daytime napping was significantly more prevalent in children with PWS than children with autism and TD children. At bedtime children with autism were less likely to be sleepy, and were poorly behaved, which was reflected in a longer sleep latency and later time asleep. Poorer night-time sleep quality and reduced 24-h sleep time were also noted in the autism group. These findings are of clinical importance, as they indicate that different interventions may be required to treat sleep and behaviour problems in children with different developmental disabilities.

Forty-one children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) aged 48–73 months were filmed within small-group settings at school. Communication behaviours during a 5-min teacher-led activity and a 10-min free-play session were coded from videotape. Inter-rater reliability was high. Many M-COSMIC codes were significantly associated as predicted with Social and Communication domain scores on the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) and with scores on standardised language assessments. Agreement was more variable, however, at the level of individual M-COSMIC codes and ADOS items. Higher rates of responding, compliance behaviours and following pointing gestures and gaze occurred during the more structured teacher-led activity, compared to the free-play. Results demonstrate preliminary construct validity of the M-COSMIC, showing its potential to describe and evaluate spontaneous social-communication skills in young children with ASD for research and applied purposes.

An in-depth examination of optimal outcome children with a history of autism spectrum disorders / Elizabeth KELLEY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 4-3 (July-September 2010)

We examined multiple aspects of functioning in a group of 13 optimal outcome (OO) children, matched on age, gender, and non-verbal IQ to a group of typically developing children (N = 14) and a group of high-functioning children with ASD who still retained a diagnosis on the autism spectrum (N = 14). These children were tested on average about eight years after they had been diagnosed (OO = 93 months, HFA = 94 months). Unlike their high-functioning peers with ASD, the OO group's adaptive and problem behavior scores fell within the average range. They also showed average language and communication scores on all language measures. The HFA group, however, continued to show pragmatic, linguistic, social, and behavioral difficulties. The OO children tended to have been diagnosed at younger ages and were significantly more likely to have received intensive early intervention. Although the high-functioning children with ASD continued to show difficulties in the behavioral realm, the individuals in the OO group were functioning within the average range on all measures. Future research should address how this optimal outcome is achieved.
