Social competence as a predictor of adult outcomes in autism spectrum disorder / Elaine B. CLARKE in Development and Psychopathology, 36-3 (August 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 36-3 (August 2024) . - p.1442-1457 Titre : Social competence as a predictor of adult outcomes in autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Elaine B. CLARKE, Auteur ; Catherine LORD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1442-1457 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescence  adult outcomes  autism spectrum disorder  early adulthood  social competence Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is a wealth of literature characterizing social difficulties in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, little work has replicated longitudinal findings from typical development that adolescent social competence predicts positive adult outcomes in ASD. The current study examined social competence trajectories from 2 to 26 and the utility of three social competence measures collected in adolescence in predicting work, residential status, friendship, and romantic outcomes in a longitudinal cohort (n = 253) of ASD. Using group-based trajectory modeling, we identified two patterns of social competence development: a low trajectory characterized by slow linear gains throughout childhood and plateauing in adulthood, and a high trajectory characterized by steeper linear gains in childhood followed by decline in adulthood. Regression models indicated one social competence measure, Vineland Social-AE scores, significantly predicted employment, residential status, and friendships in adulthood. One other social competence measure, SSQ total scores, also significantly predicted friendship in adulthood. Only nonverbal IQ at 9 predicted the likelihood of having ever had a romantic relationship. These findings highlight the role of social competence in both atypical and typical development and suggest the social impairments associated with ASD do not necessarily impact all realms of social functioning equally.

Social Competence Intervention for Elementary Students with Aspergers Syndrome and High Functioning Autism / Janine P. STICHTER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-3 (March 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 42-3 (March 2012) . - p.354-366 Titre : Social Competence Intervention for Elementary Students with Aspergers Syndrome and High Functioning Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Janine P.

These deficits can lead to daily difficulties, and negative long-term outcomes. Deficits in social competency are evident in this population from an early age, as children with HFA/AS present unique challenges relating to peers, interpreting complex contextual cues, and transitioning across settings. A paucity of social interventions exist that target elementary-age children with HFA/AS and their combination of core social competence deficit areas: theory of mind (ToM), emotional recognition, and executive functioning. The current study expanded on the Social Competence Intervention (for adolescents; SCI-A), as detailed in Stichter et al. (J Autism Dev Disorders 40:1067–1079, 2010), by adjusting the curriculum to meet the needs of an elementary population. Results indicate significant improvements on direct assessments measuring theory of mind and problem solving, and parent perceptions of overall social abilities and executive functioning for 20 students, aged 6-10, with HFA/AS. The elementary SCI program appears promising, however, additional replications are necessary including expansion to school settings.

Social competence with an unfamiliar peer in children and adolescents with high functioning autism: Measurement and individual differences / Lauren V. USHER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 17 (September 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 17 (September 2015) . - p.25-39 Titre : Social competence with an unfamiliar peer in children and adolescents with high functioning autism: Measurement and individual differences Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lauren V. USHER, Auteur ; Catherine A. BURROWS, Auteur ; Caley B. SCHWARTZ, Auteur ; Heather A. HENDERSON, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.25-39 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : High functioning autism  Social competence  Peer interaction  Initiative  Reciprocity  Self-monitoring Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Children and adolescents with high functioning autism (HFA) display heterogeneity in social competence, which may be particularly evident during interactions with unfamiliar peers. The goal of this study was to examine predictors of social competence variability during an unfamiliar peer interaction. Thirty-nine participants with HFA and 39 age-, gender- and IQ-matched comparison participants were observed during dyadic laboratory interactions and detailed behavioral coding revealed three social competence dimensions: social initiative, social reciprocity, and social self-monitoring. Participants with HFA displayed higher social initiative but lower reciprocity than comparison participants. For participants with HFA, theory of mind was positively associated with observed initiative. For COM participants, social anxiety was negatively associated with reciprocity. However, for HFA participants, there was a quadratic relation between parent-reported social anxiety and observed reciprocity, demonstrating that low and high levels of anxiety were associated with low reciprocity. Results demonstrated the utility of our behavioral coding scheme as a valid assessment of social competence for children and adolescents with and without HFA. The curvilinear association between social anxiety and reciprocity highlights the importance of examining nonlinear relations in individuals with HFA, and emphasizes that discrete profiles of social anxiety in individuals with HFA may necessitate different treatment options.

Alexithymia is related to poor social competence in autistic and nonautistic children / N. E. SCHEERER in Autism Research, 14-6 (June 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-6 (June 2021) . - p.1252-1259 Titre : Alexithymia is related to poor social competence in autistic and nonautistic children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : N. E. SCHEERER, Auteur ; Troy Q. BOUCHER, Auteur ; G. IAROCCI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1252-1259 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent  Affective Symptoms/complications  Autism Spectrum Disorder/complications  Autistic Disorder/complications  Child  Emotions  Humans  Social Skills  alexithymia  autism  autism spectrum disorder  emotional processing  social competence Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Alexithymia is characterized by difficulties identifying and describing one's own emotions and the emotions of others. These challenges with understanding emotions in people with alexithymia may give rise to difficulties with social interactions. Given that alexithymia frequently co-occurs with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and that both populations have difficulties with social interactions, it is of interest to determine whether alexithymia can help to parse some of the heterogeneity in social competence in autistic and nonautistic individuals. The caregivers of 241 children (6-14?years old), including 120 autistic, and 121 nonautistic, rated their child's social competence using the Multidimensional Social Competence Scale (MSCS), autism traits using the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ), and alexithymia traits using the Children's Alexithymia Measure (CAM). Regression analyses indicated that age, IQ, sex, AQ, and CAM scores accounted for 40.2% of the variance in autistic children's, and 68.2% of the variance in nonautistic children's, parent-reported social competence. Importantly, after controlling for age, IQ, sex, and AQ scores, CAM scores alone accounted for an additional 16.2% of the variance in autistic children's, and 17.4% of the variance in nonautistic children's social competence. These results indicate that higher alexithymia traits predict lower levels of social competence, suggesting that increased difficulty in identifying and describing one's own emotions and the emotions of others is associated with poorer social competence. Furthermore, CAM scores were found to partially mediate the relationship between autistic traits and social competence, suggesting that comorbid alexithymia traits may be partially responsible for poor social competence in individuals with high autistic traits. This research contributes to the understanding of the factors associated with the development of social competence and highlights alexithymia as a potential target for identification and intervention to improve social competence. LAY SUMMARY: Alexithymia is a condition where people find it hard to think and talk about their (and others') feelings. About 50% of autistic people have alexithymia. This might be why they have social and emotional difficulties. Parents answered questions about alexithymia and social difficulties their children have. Children with more alexithymia problems had poorer social skills. Thus, alexithymia may be related to social problems faced by autistic and nonautistic children.
