Severity of Autism Spectrum Disorders: Current Conceptualization, and Transition to DSM-5 / Margaret H. MEHLING in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-6 (June 2016)

A review of recent literature indicates that in research stratifying individuals on the basis of autism severity, core ASD symptomology is the primary consideration. This conceptualization is disparate from the conceptualization put forth in DSM-5 in which severity determination is based on level of needed support, which is also impacted by cognitive, language, behavioral, and adaptive functioning. This paper reviews literature in this area and discusses possible instruments that may be useful to inform clinical judgment in determining ASD severity levels.

Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: The prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a common developmental disorder, has surged in recent years. Accordingly, the identification and early management of possible risk factors can diminish ASD incidence. AIM: To determine the prevalence and severity of idiopathic ASD in Egyptian children aged 12 months to 12 years, and to identify the epidemiological, sociodemographic, and environmental risk factors contributing to this disorder. METHODS: This study comprised 41,640 children from the main eight geographic areas in Egypt. It was conducted through four phases: household screening, facility-based screening for high-risk children, diagnosis confirmation, and risk factor assessment. RESULTS: The prevalence of ASD as confirmed by the criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) and the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) was 1.1% (455 out of 41,640), with significant geographic variability. Urban areas had a significantly higher prevalence than rural areas. Children aged 3-6 years showed the highest prevalence at 1.5%. Boys were four times more affected than girls, with prevalence rates of 1.7% and 0.4%, respectively. Significant risk factors included: a history of convulsions (AOR = 4.7; 95% CI: 3.3-6.79), low birth weight (AOR = 2.08; 95% CI: 1.54-2.79), prolonged stays in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) longer than two days (AOR = 1.91; 95% CI: 1.46-2.49) and maternal health problems during pregnancy (AOR = 1.66; 95% CI:1.36-1.95). Regarding severity, 45% of diagnosed children had moderate ASD, 39% had severe ASD, and 16% had mild ASD. Female gender and older age were significant predictors of greater ASD severity. CONCLUSION: ASD prevalence in Egypt is comparable to other Middle Eastern countries. Policymakers should utilize these findings to design targeted public health interventions aimed at early detection, management, and prevention of ASD progression.

ADOS-2 Toddler and Module 1 standardized severity scores as used by community practitioners / Darren HEDLEY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 32 (December 2016)

MULICK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.84-95 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism diagnostic observation schedule  Autism spectrum disorder  Calibrated severity score  Diagnosis  Severity  Toddler Module  Externalizing  Internalizing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractBackground The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, 2nd edition (ADOS-2) is a diagnostic instrument which forms part of the recommended “gold standard” for the assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), however raw scores are affected by age, development and language level. Standardized calibrated severity scores (CSS), unlike raw scores, provide a relative metric of the severity of autism-specific symptoms. A CSS has recently been developed for the ADOS-2 Toddler Module, which can be used in children aged 12–30 months. The utility of this new algorithm has yet to be examined in an independent sample, and few studies have examined the ADOS-2 as used by community practitioners, rather than in a research environment. Method Total and domain standardized CSS for the ADOS-2 Toddler Module and Module 1 were examined in an independent, community based sample of 125 young children aged 20–47 months with a diagnosis of ASD, and in a comparison sample of children with nonspectrum diagnoses. Results The CSS was more uniformly distributed when compared to raw scores across age and language groups, and less influenced by participant characteristics, including verbal DQ. Younger non-verbal participants returned higher CSS, suggestive of overlap with developmental and language level. Increased CSS in younger, nonverbal children may also reflect greater severity, thereby leading to earlier referral. The Child Behavior Checklist externalizing score emerged as an independent predictor of ASD symptom severity. Conclusions These results offer tentative support for the introduction of the Toddler Module CSS into community practice; however caution in the interpretation of the score in younger, nonverbal children is urged.

Brief Report: Concurrent Validity of Autism Symptom Severity Measures / Stephanie S. RESZKA in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-2 (February 2014)

Several screening and/or diagnostic measures, such as the autism diagnostic and observation schedule (ADOS), Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) and social responsiveness scale (SRS) (teacher and parent versions), include an assessment of symptom severity. The purpose of this study was to examine whether symptom severity and/or diagnostic status of preschool-aged children with ASD (N = 201) were similarly categorized on these measures. For half of the sample, children were similarly classified across the four measures, and scores on most measures were correlated, with the exception of the ADOS and SRS-P. While the ADOS, CARS, and SRS are reliable and valid measures, there is some disagreement between measures with regard to child classification and the categorization of autism symptom severity.

Brief Report: DSM-5 “Levels of Support:” A Comment on Discrepant Conceptualizations of Severity in ASD / Amy S. WEITLAUF in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-2 (February 2014)

Although qualitative differences between support levels are described, quantitative methods or practice recommendations for differentiating between levels remain undetermined. This leaves the field vulnerable to potential discrepancies between severity categorizations that may have inadvertent service implications. We examined overlap between mild, moderate, and severe impairment classifications based on autism symptoms, cognitive skills, and adaptive functioning in 726 participants (15 months—17 years) with ASD. Participants with mild, moderate, and severe autism symptoms demonstrated varying levels of adaptive and cognitive impairment. These discrepancies highlight the need for a clearly elucidated method of classifying level of support in ASD diagnosis.
