Brief Report – Selective eating: Parental and day care professional perception of ASD symptom severity in toddlers and children over time / Ronit SABAN-BEZALEL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 87 (September 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 87 (September 2021) . - 101830 Titre : Brief Report – Selective eating: Parental and day care professional perception of ASD symptom severity in toddlers and children over time Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ronit SABAN-BEZALEL, Auteur ; Esther BEN-ITZCHAK, Auteur ; Orit STOLAR, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101830 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD symptoms  Selective eating  Toddlers  Parents  Day care professionals Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Food selectivity is a frequent eating problem identified among children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Previous studies identified a positive association between parental reports of atypical eating habits and ASD symptom severity, and a simultaneous absence of this association among the professionals’ reports. However, the professionals in these studies had only short acquaintances with the children. Method We examined parental and day care professional (DCP) assessments of ASD symptom severity among children at school year start and end, in relation to selective eating. We included 62 children aged 19–45 months diagnosed with ASD attending government-funded Early Intervention Day Care Centers (EIDCCs). EIDCCs, designated for children diagnosed with ASD, provide standard comprehensive multidisciplinary ASD-specific treatments. Results Results showed parental reports of children’s ASD symptoms were positively associated with selective eating consistently over time. In contrast, DCP reports were not associated with selective eating, despite long acquaintance with the children. When comparing ASD symptoms of selective eaters vs. non-selective eaters, the gap between parental and DCP assessments was smaller among selective eaters. Generally, parents reported less severe ASD symptoms compared to DCPs, yet, over time, both parents and DCPs reported improvement. A decrease in food diversity was also found associated with age, originating as early as toddlerhood. Conclusion Differences between parents and day care professionals on assessments of ASD symptom severity, in relation to parent reports of selective eating behavior, were maintained over time. Our findings emphasize the importance of early interventions that address atypical eating habits at young ages.

How perceived support relates to child autism symptoms and care-related stress in parents caring for a child with autism / Sonja GOEDEKE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 60 (April 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 60 (April 2019) . - p.36-47 Titre : How perceived support relates to child autism symptoms and care-related stress in parents caring for a child with autism Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sonja GOEDEKE, Auteur ; Daniel SHEPHERD, Auteur ; Jason LANDON, Auteur ; Steve TAYLOR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.36-47 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Perceived support  Care-related stress  ASD symptoms Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Caring for a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be stressful and subsequently affect parents’ ability to manage their child’s symptoms. In this research, we explore the effects of perceived levels of support on parents’ care-related stress and on ASD symptoms. Method Participants (n = 585) completed an online survey which included ratings of support (partner, family, friend, professionals), how they perceived their child’s symptoms, their care-related stress, and ratings of their child’s interventions. Results Results indicate that parents perceive partners and families as providing greater support than friends and professionals. However, perceptions of family support decrease with both parent and child age. Perceived family support did not appear to influence parents’ perceptions of their child’s symptoms, although partner support moderated the relationship between particular symptom subsets and care-related stress. Professional support was related to a decrease in care-related stress levels. Finally, some sources of support were associated with perceived effectiveness and stress reduction in relation to specific interventions. Conclusions Partners and family provide an important support role for parents yet may need education and support to assist them in this role on an ongoing basis. Understanding how professionals can better support parents in their caregiving role is also important.

Overlap Between Autism Spectrum Disorders and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Searching for Distinctive/Common Clinical Features / Francesco CRAIG in Autism Research, 8-3 (June 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 8-3 (June 2015) . - p.328-337 Titre : Overlap Between Autism Spectrum Disorders and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Searching for Distinctive/Common Clinical Features Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Francesco CRAIG, Auteur ; Anna Linda LAMANNA, Auteur ; Francesco MARGARI, Auteur ; Emilia MATERA, Auteur ; Marta SIMONE, Auteur ; Lucia MARGARI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.328-337 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders  attention deficit hyperactivity disorder  overlapping  intelligent quotient  emotional and behavior problems  ADHD symptoms  ASD symptoms  adaptive behaviors Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Recent studies support several overlapping traits between autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), assuming the existence of a combined phenotype. The aim of our study was to evaluate the common or distinctive clinical features between ASD and ADHD in order to identify possible different phenotypes that could have a clinical value. We enrolled 181 subjects divided into four diagnostic groups: ADHD group, ASD group, ASD+ADHD group (that met diagnostic criteria for both ASD and ADHD), and control group. Intelligent quotient (IQ), emotional and behavior problems, ADHD symptoms, ASD symptoms, and adaptive behaviors were investigated through the following test: Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence or Leiter International Performances Scale Revised, Child Behavior Checklist, Conners' Rating Scales-Revised, SNAP-IV Rating Scale, the Social Communication Questionnaire, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales. The ASD+ADHD group differs from ADHD or ASD in some domains such as lower IQ mean level and a higher autistic symptoms severity. However, the ASD+ADHD group shares inattention and hyperactivity deficit and some emotional and behavior problems with the ADHD group, while it shares adaptive behavior impairment with ASD group. These findings provide a new understanding of clinical manifestation of ASD+ADHD phenotype, they may also inform a novel treatment target.

Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: There is substantial variability in adaptive skills among individuals with Down syndrome. Few studies, however, have focused on the early developmental period or on the potential sources of variability in adaptive skills. This study characterizes adaptive skills in young children with Down syndrome and investigates child characteristics associated with adaptive skills. METHODS: Participants were 44 children with Down syndrome ranging in age from 2.50 to 7.99 years (M = 4.66 years, SD = 1.46). The Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-3 (VABS-3) Comprehensive Interview Form was used to assess adaptive behavior in the three core domains: socialization, daily living, and communication skills. Caregivers also reported on motor skills and autism spectrum disorder symptoms. Child cognitive abilities were assessed. RESULTS: Analyses comparing mean standard score performance across the three VABS-3 core domains demonstrated significant differences between all pairs of domains, resulting in a group-level pattern of socialization > daily living > communication skills. At the individual level, 10 different patterns of relative strength and weakness were identified, with only 18% of participants evidencing significant differences between adaptive skill domain standard scores corresponding to the group-level pattern of significant differences. Child characteristics (cognitive abilities, motor skills, and autism spectrum disorder symptoms) were significantly associated with VABS-3 adaptive domain standard scores. CONCLUSION: These findings underscore the importance of individualizing intervention programs focused on improving the adaptive skills of young children with Down syndrome based on consideration of the child's relative adaptive strengths and weaknesses.
