Group social skills interventions for adults with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders: A systematic review / Debbie SPAIN in Autism, 19-7 (October 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 19-7 (October 2015) . - p.874-886 Titre : Group social skills interventions for adults with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders: A systematic review Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Debbie SPAIN, Auteur ; Sarah H. BLAINEY, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.874-886 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults  Asperger’s syndrome  autism spectrum  group therapy  interventions  social skills Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorders are characterised by impairments in communication and social interaction. Social skills interventions have been found to ameliorate socio-communication deficits in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders. Little is known about the effectiveness of social skills interventions for adults with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders (hf-ASD) – a clinical population who can present with more subtle core deficits, but comparable levels of impairment and secondary difficulties. A systematic review was undertaken to investigate the effectiveness of social skills interventions for adults with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders. Five studies met the pre-specified review inclusion criteria: two quasi-experimental comparative trials and three single-arm interventions. There was a degree of variation in the structure, duration and content of the social skills interventions delivered, as well as several methodological limitations associated with included studies. Nevertheless, narrative analysis tentatively indicates that group social skills interventions may be effective for enhancing social knowledge and understanding, improving social functioning, reducing loneliness and potentially alleviating co-morbid psychiatric symptoms.

Does a high threshold of sensory responsiveness affect the development of pretend play in children on the autism spectrum? / Karolina KRZYSZTOFIK in Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 16 (2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders > 16 (2024) Titre : Does a high threshold of sensory responsiveness affect the development of pretend play in children on the autism spectrum? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Karolina KRZYSZTOFIK, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Humans  Autism Spectrum Disorder/physiopathology  Male  Female  Child, Preschool  Play and Playthings  Child  Child Development/physiology  Theory of Mind/physiology  Autism spectrum  Level of sensory responsiveness  Pretend play  relationships with other people or organizations within three years of beginning  the submitted work that could inappropriately influence, or be perceived to  influence, their work. The author declares that they have no competing interests. Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Among the current avenues of research into the origins and development of the autism spectrum, those concerning atypical levels of sensory responsiveness are gaining increasing relevance. Researchers note the relationship of sensory responsiveness in children on the autism spectrum to their motor, cognitive and social development. Current research reports combines the responsiveness to sensory stimuli also with the development of pretend play. Aim of this study was to verify the relationship between the level of development of pretend play and the level of sensory responsiveness in children on the autism spectrum. METHODS: A study was conducted in a group of 63 children with a diagnosis of autism spectrum aged from 3 years and 7 months to 9 years and 3 months using: Pretend Play subscale from the Theory of Mind Mechanism Scale and Sensory Experiences Questionnaire version 2.1. RESULTS: The results revealed that elevated sensory hyporesponsiveness predicted low pretend play skills in the group of participating children. CONCLUSION: The study verified the contribution of the level of sensory hyporesponsiveness to explaining the atypical development of pretend play in children on the autism spectrum.

This study examined scores on the Social Responsiveness Scale, Second Edition (SRS-2) over time in a group of clinic referred, gender diverse adolescents accessing gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRHa) to supress puberty. Primary caregivers of 95 adolescents presenting to the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) completed the SRS-2 prior to receiving endocrine input (mean age: 13.6 ± SEM: 0.11) and after approximately one year of accessing GnRHa (mean age: 14.6 ± SEM: 0.13). No significant differences in SRS-2 scores over time and between birth assigned sex were found. No interactions between time and birth assigned sex were established for SRS-2 subscales or total scores.

No evidence of atypical attentional disengagement in autism: A study across the spectrum / C. Ellie WILSON in Autism, 23-3 (April 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 23-3 (April 2019) . - p.677-688 Titre : No evidence of atypical attentional disengagement in autism: A study across the spectrum Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : C.

SALDANA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.677-688 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : attention  autism spectrum  autism spectrum disorders  disengaging  minimally verbal autism spectrum disorder  sensory behaviors Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The ability to disengage attention and reengage elsewhere has been proposed as a fundamental deficit in the autism spectrum, potentially disrupting development of higher cognitive domains. Eye-movements were recorded while 16 autism spectrum children of mixed ability, and 18 typically developing age-matched controls, completed the Gap-Overlap paradigm. A significant difference in latency to fixate target was found between Gap and Overlap conditions. A significant interaction with group was due to autism spectrum participants' shorter latencies to fixate target in the Gap condition, but similar group responses in the Overlap condition. Considerable within-group variability emerged. We predicted that attentional disengaging would be related to specific features of the phenotype; however, there was no evidence of an association with receptive language, non-verbal IQ, sensory behaviors, or autistic severity in autism spectrum or typically developing groups. In conclusion, while atypical visual attention mechanisms may be a feature of autism spectrum, this is not explained by impaired visual disengaging but is more likely due to increased susceptibility of visual fixation offset cueing. Despite best efforts, nine additional autism spectrum children could not complete testing, and data from a further six were unusable; more work is needed to develop research methods that enable individuals across the spectrum to participate.

Testing a theory-driven factor structure of the autism-spectrum quotient / Yiqin ZHU in Autism Research, 15-9 (September 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 15-9 (September 2022) . - p.1710-1718 Titre : Testing a theory-driven factor structure of the autism-spectrum quotient Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Yiqin ZHU, Auteur ; Wenting MU, Auteur ; Marianne G. CHIRICA, Auteur ; Howard BERENBAUM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1710-1718 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Anhedonia  Autism Spectrum Disorder/diagnosis  Autistic Disorder  Factor Analysis, Statistical  Humans  Surveys and Questionnaires  autism  autism quotient  autism spectrum  autistic traits  factor analysis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) is a popular instrument used to assess the degree to which individuals exhibit features of autism spectrum conditions (ASC). The current study aimed to develop a theory-driven factor structure of the AQ that would fit as well across samples as the 12 previously proposed factor structures, all of which, except for the original Baron-Cohen model, had been developed on the basis of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) or principal component analysis. We first proposed a six-factor solution: (1) social anhedonia; (2) interest in details/patterns; (3) imagination ability; (4) desire for predictability/routine; (5) social cognition; and (6) social discourse convention. We tested the six-factor structure and made final item selections (27 items) with EFA using data from college students (n = 503). Then, we empirically tested alternative factor structure models in three other independent samples (ns = 503; 1263; 1641) using confirmatory factor analysis. Results indicated that our model fit as well, if not better, than all of the other models across samples, regardless of parameter estimation methods and software packages. Overall, the theory-driven replicable six-factor structure that we report holds the potential to be used to measure the six domains of features that we identified in the AQ. LAY SUMMARY: Questionnaire measures of autism spectrum conditions have typically been used to measure approximately four broad dimensions. Our study suggests that the Autism-Spectrum Quotient can be used to measure six more narrowly defined dimensions: social anhedonia, interest in details/patterns, imagination ability, desire for predictability/routine, social cognition, and social discourse convention. Additional work is needed to develop measures of a much wider variety of autism spectrum features.
