Agreement in multi-informant assessment of behaviour and emotional problems and social functioning in adolescents with Autistic and Asperger's Disorder / Matthew I. JEPSEN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-3 (July-September 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-3 (July-September 2012) . - p.1091-1098 Titre : Agreement in multi-informant assessment of behaviour and emotional problems and social functioning in adolescents with Autistic and Asperger's Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Matthew I. JEPSEN, Auteur ; Kylie M. GRAY, Auteur ; John R. TAFFE, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.1091-1098 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic Disorder  Asperger's Disorder  Multi-informant  Assessment  Psychopathology  Social functioning Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is a paucity of evidence concerning the patterns of multi-informant agreement in populations with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). This study compared ratings of behaviour and emotional problems and social functioning provided by 45 adolescents aged 12–18 years, with Autistic or Asperger's Disorder with ratings by their parents and teachers. Behaviour and emotional problems were measured using the Child Behaviour Checklist and social functioning was measured with the Social Skills Rating System. Moderate agreement was found between adolescent and parent ratings of psychopathology and social functioning. In general, parent and teacher ratings and adolescent and teacher ratings differed significantly. These findings suggest that behaviour varies across environmental contexts. Patterns of agreement between multiple informants observed in the current study frequently differed from those previously found in non-ASD populations. Clinicians and researchers need to consider a multi-informant approach to obtain a detailed picture of behaviour and emotional problems in adolescents with autism and Asperger's Disorder.

An investigation of upper limb motor function in high functioning autism and Asperger's disorder using a repetitive Fitts’ aiming task / Nicole PAPADOPOULOS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-1 (January-March 2012) . - p.286-292 Titre : An investigation of upper limb motor function in high functioning autism and Asperger's disorder using a repetitive Fitts’ aiming task Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Nicole PAPADOPOULOS, Auteur ; Jennifer L.

Despite this, few studies have investigated the kinematic components of movement that may be disrupted in children diagnosed with these disorders. The current study investigated rapid aiming movements in 19 individuals diagnosed with HFA, 20 individuals diagnosed with AD and 18 typically developing (TD) controls. A novel touchscreen version of a Fitts’ aiming task was administered that required participants to make 10 reciprocal aiming movements between targets. Task difficulty was manipulated by varying the size and distance between targets. Movement time in the HFA and AD groups was comparable to TD controls. Children with HFA displayed more constant and variable error across repeated aiming attempts compared to the TD group that may be attributed to deficits in feedforward online refinement of movement. These findings are in accordance with previous gait, ocular motor, upper limb and neuroimaging studies that suggest that the cerebellum may underlie movement disturbance in individuals diagnosed with HFA. Additionally, differences in the nature of upper limb motor disturbance in HFA may serve as a useful future adjunct to clinical measures.

Atypical Interference of Local Detail on Global Processing in High-functioning Autism and Asperger's Disorder / Nicole J. RINEHART in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 41-6 (September 2000)

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 41-6 (September 2000) . - p.769-778 Titre : Atypical Interference of Local Detail on Global Processing in High-functioning Autism and Asperger's Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Nicole J.

Participants observed a large or “global” number composed of smaller or “local” numbers. The response was contingent upon the identification of either the large stimulus or the small stimuli. Relative to age, sex, and IQ matched controls, global processing in children and adolescents with autism (N= 12) and Asperger's disorder (N= 12) was more vulnerable when the local stimuli were incongruent. The autism group made more global errors than their matched control group, regardless of whether there was local incongruence. In contrast, the Asperger's disorder group made a similar number of global errors as their respective control group. These results were discussed in relation to an “absence of global precedence” notion, “weak central coherence” theory, and right-hemisphere dysfunction. The neurobiological significance of these findings were discussed in the context of a fronto-striatal model of dysfunction.

Common and unique impairments in facial-expression recognition in pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified and Asperger's disorder / Shota UONO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-2 (February 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-2 (February 2013) . - p.361-368 Titre : Common and unique impairments in facial-expression recognition in pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified and Asperger's disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Shota UONO, Auteur ; Wataru SATO, Auteur ; Motomi TOICHI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.361-368 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asperger's disorder  Facial expression recognition  Pervasive developmental disorder  Pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study was designed to identify specific difficulties and associated features related to the problems with social interaction experienced by individuals with pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) using an emotion-recognition task. We compared individuals with PDD-NOS or Asperger's disorder (ASP) and typically developing individuals in terms of their ability to recognize facial expressions conveying the six basic emotions. Individuals with PDD-NOS and ASP were worse at recognizing fearful faces than were controls. Individuals with PDD-NOS were less accurate in recognizing disgusted faces than were those with ASP. The results suggest that PDD subtypes are characterized by shared and unique impairments in the ability to recognize facial expressions. Furthermore, the ability to recognize fearful but not disgusted expressions was negatively correlated with the severity of social dysfunction in PDD-NOS and ASP. The results suggest that impaired recognition of fearful and disgusted faces may reflect the severity of social dysfunction across PDD subtypes and the specific problems associated with PDD-NOS, respectively. Characteristics associated with different levels of symptom severity in PDD-NOS are discussed in terms of similarities with brain damage and other psychiatric disorders.

Impaired sustained attention, focused attention, and vigilance in youths with autistic disorder and Asperger's disorder / Yi-Ling CHIEN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-7 (July 2014)

The diagnosis of autism and AD were made based on the clinical assessments according to the DSM-IV criteria and confirmed by the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised. All the participants were assessed with the Conners’ Continuous Performance Test (CCPT) and the questionnaires about ADHD, oppositional, and autistic symptoms. All indices of the CCPT were analyzed based on a recently developed factor structure, including focused attention, cognitive impulsivity, sustained attention, and vigilance. We found that compared with typically-developing youths, youths with autism and AD showed more inattentive, hyperactive/impulsive, and oppositional symptoms, and performed worse in focused attention and sustained attention as assessed by the CCPT. Youths with AD also showed more oppositional symptoms than youths with autism. Moreover, youths with autism had poorer focused attention than youths with AD; but, youths with AD had more impaired sustained attention. Our results validate different manifestations of ADHD-related symptoms and attention performance between youths with autism and youths with AD and suggest intervention for youths with autism spectrum disorders should consider these specific measures.
