This book was released on 2017 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience comorbid emotional and behavioral difficulties that have a significant impact on their functioning (Kanne, Abbacchi, & Constantino, 2009). Parents and teachers are valuable informants in piecing together a better picture of these difficulties in the assessment process. However, parents and teachers often exhibit significant divergence on reports of the same behaviors on the same child. Research into parent-teacher discrepancies have aided in identifying how these discrepancies occur and how to extract useful information regarding contextual variation in behavior from these discrepant reports (e.g. De Los Reyes, 2011). However, research in this area is rather limited in terms of comorbid psychiatric symptomatology in youth with ASD and does not explain how discrepancies in this area may be related to core symptoms of ASD. This study examined whether the relation between behavioral and emotional symptoms and ASD symptoms, IQ, and adaptive skills was different for parent and teacher reports in 141 youth referred for ASD assessment. Overall, while results replicated findings that significant discrepancies exist between parent and teacher reports of comorbid behavioral and emotional symptoms, parent and teacher reports were not differentially related to ASD symptoms, IQ scores, or adaptive skills. Results of this study highlight that parent-teacher discrepancy of comorbid symptoms may not vary across different levels of functioning in youth with ASD, and that the measure used in this study to assess comorbid behavioral and emotional symptoms may functioning similarly across different youth with ASD.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Autism and Co Occurring Psychiatric Conditions written by Susan W. White and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-03 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-occurring psychiatric conditions are extremely common among people who have autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The Oxford Handbook of Autism and Co-Occurring Psychiatric Conditions presents a compilation of the latest research in this area, summarized by internationally renowned experts. Each chapter presents an overview of the problem or disorder including information on prevalence in ASD and in the general public and a synthesis of the research on etiology, diagnostic best practices, and evidence-based intervention approaches. Case studies bring these concepts to life, and each chapter concludes with suggestions for future research directions in order to further develop our scientific and clinical understanding of the particular comorbidity. Given the fact that comorbidity is often a chronic and pervasive concern, this Handbook takes a lifespan approach, with each chapter touching on developmental aspects of the targeted problem, from early childhood through adulthood. The concluding section of the Handbook is comprised of content on clinical considerations and research approaches, including chapters on medications commonly used to treat co-occurring conditions, strategies for managing crisis situations in this clinical population, and community partnerships within an implementation science framework.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Ample evidence suggests that young people with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) present with a wide range of maladaptive behaviors beyond the core symptoms that define the disorder. Such maladaptive behaviors represent additional handicaps for these individuals and are associated with negative outcomes including poor social competency, academic and vocational under-achievement, among others. In spite of the prevalence and significance of maladaptive behaviors, the natural course and predictors of such behaviors are not delineated in the ASD literature. This study was conducted to add to the scant body of knowledge on this topic. Participants were recruited using patient records at Nisonger Center clinics, where potential participants were given an ASD diagnosis two-to-eight years previously. All individuals seen at the clinics had a measure of maladaptive behavior on file, assessed using the Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form (NCBRF; Aman, Tassé, Rojahn, & Hammer, 1996). I conducted follow-ups on 342 potential participants and collected follow-up data from 143 (41.8%) of these individuals. Follow-up data included current parent-rated NCBRF and supplementary demographic information (about the individual with an ASD) from families via a structured phone interview. This information included (a) comorbid psychiatric diagnoses, (b) current educational placement, (c) current psychotropic medications, and (d) interventions received. Results indicated substantial presence of maladaptive behaviors both at initial visit (T1) and follow-up (T2). Scores differed significantly between T1 and T2 assessments on all six NCBRF subscales indicating that maladaptive behaviors changed considerably with age. Scores on three of the six NCBRF subscales (Conduct, Hyperactivity, and Self-injury/Stereotypic) showed significant decline (improvement) over time, while scores on the remaining three subscales (Insecure/Anxious, Self-isolated/Ritualistic, and Overly Sensitive) increased (deteriorated) at follow-up. Levels of maladaptive behaviors were found to vary considerably based on gender, ASD subtype, and language abilities of participants. As far as predictors of maladaptive behavior change, the tested models accounted for 39% to 50% of the variance in T2 NCBRF subscale scores. The T1 scores on the respective NCBRF subscales were the most consistent predictors of all six NCBRF subscale scores at follow-up. This indicates that a child's individual levels of maladaptive behavior at T1 were the best predictor of maladaptive behavior over time. Other variables that significantly predicted T2 scores on one or more NCBRF subscales included T1 age, ASD subtype, and T1 language ability. Parents reported high rates (68.5%) of comorbid psychiatric conditions in this community sample unselected for psychiatric disorders and also a high rate of psychotropic medication use (52.4%). The most common comorbid disorders were anxiety disorders (37.8%) and ADHD (31.5%). At follow-up, the highest proportion of participants were placed in developmentally handicapped classes (22.7%), followed by regular classes with minimum accommodations (17.9%). The vast majority (79.7%) received at least one of the following interventions: speech and language therapy, occupational/physical therapy, or applied behavioral analytic therapy. Findings from this study add to the limited data on the natural course of maladaptive behavior in ASDs and have implications for clinicians, parents, and service providers in anticipating change over time and planning interventions.

Book excerpt: Anxiety in Children and Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Evidence-Based Assessment and Treatment begins with a general overview of the history of research on anxiety in ASD and the path towards evidence-based assessment and treatment methods. Thereafter, chapters focus on the nature of ASD and anxiety comorbidity, the assessment of anxiety in ASD, and its treatment. Later chapters are devoted to future directions for research on this topic, including a discussion of anxiety assessment and treatment for adults and minimally verbal individuals. Anxiety disorders in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can cause substantial distress and impairment over and above that caused by ASD alone. Emerging research on genetic, psychological, psychophysiological, and psychometric aspects of ASD establish anxiety as a valid and necessary treatment target in this population. This book is designed to help a broad array of providers who work with children with ASD understand cutting-edge, empirically supported treatments for anxiety, including specific treatment plans and strategies. Presents a balanced discussion of the scientific literature on anxiety in ASD Provides a pragmatic, clinically applied focus that gives readers a ‘how-to’ guide for the treatment of anxiety in ASD Considers the distinct ways in which anxiety presents in children and adolescents with ASD and the challenges this presents to assessment and treatment Examines emerging areas of anxiety assessment and treatment research in ASD

Download or read book A Contextual Approach to Understanding Psychiatric Comorbidities in Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder written by Jessica Lynn Greenlee and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychiatric comorbidities are common in youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and can have a negative impact on adaptive functioning and quality of life. Research has primarily focused on individual characteristics associated with internalizing problems such as age, intelligence, and social functioning. However, developmental theory supports the notion that individual level factors are necessary but not sufficient to understand the mental health of youth with ASD. Using the Family Ecology Framework as a guide, the purpose of this study was to examine how peer and family contexts are associated with anxiety and depression symptoms of adolescents with ASD. Using data from adolescents with ASD (13-17 years old) and their primary caregivers (N = 166), this study tested a conditional process model in which youths' social-communication skills were associated with their mental health symptoms indirectly via experiences of peer victimization, with family competence acting as a buffer against the negative impact of peer victimization on anxiety and depression symptoms. Results suggest that the peer context is important when considering the mental health of adolescents with ASD. Specifically, deficits in social-communication skills were associated with higher levels of parent-reported anxiety and depression symptoms through increased adolescent-reports of peer victimization; however, the hypothesized buffering effect of family competence was not statistically significant. Findings from this study suggest the benefits of utilizing developmentally sensitive, contextual approaches when examining psychiatric comorbidities in adolescents with ASD.

Download or read book Inter rater Agreement in Autism Spectrum Disorder for Anxiety Depression and Broad Internalizing Symptoms written by Janelle Youngdahl and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are at elevated risk for internalizing symptoms such as anxiety and depression (Bellini, 2004; Kim et al., 2000; Matson & Williams, 2014). These internalizing problems can affect self-esteem, social competence, academic performance, and physical health; thus, it is critical to accurately identify internalizing symptoms in order to provide appropriate intervention to those in need (Michael & Merrell, 1998). One of the most common ways to screen for internalizing symptoms is through use of rating scales completed by youth, parent, and/or teacher informants. However, inconsistent inter-rater agreement findings across studies of youth with ASD have rendered the literature difficult to summarize and in need of more systematic investigation. No prior meta-analysis has examined inter-rater or cross-informant ratings agreement concerning different internalizing constructs in youth with ASD specifically-despite its relevance to a multi-method and multi-informant approach to assessment typically recommended as best practice (Taylor et al., 2018). The present meta-analysis (a) closely examined the level of agreement across different rater-pairs (i.e., parent vs. youth, teacher vs. youth, and parent vs. teacher) assessing internalizing problems (i.e., anxiety, depression, and broad internalizing) in youth with ASD, (b) investigated both inter-rater correlations and cross-rater mean differences, (c) assessed potential moderator variables that could impact the magnitude or direction of correlations or mean differences, and (d) systematically summarized findings and trends.Results indicated that across the three constructs (i.e., anxiety, depression, and broad internalizing), the mean r ranged from 0.399 to 0.430 (moderate range) for parent vs. youth self-report ratings and 0.256 to 0.296 (small range) for parent vs. teacher ratings. In the case of teacher vs. parent ratings, the observed mean inter-rater correlations ranged from 0.229 to 0.342 (small to moderate range) but were non-significant for all three constructs. Moderator analyses within the parent vs. youth self-report inter-rater correlations indicated that method of youth self-report administration moderated correlations for anxiety, while mean age of the youth moderated correlations for depression. No significant moderators were noted for other inter-rater correlations across the three rater-pairs. For parent vs. youth self-report standardized mean differences, mean effect size g was 0.220 for anxiety, 0.788 for depression, and 0.090 for broad internalizing. However, evidence of possible publication bias and associated re-estimation yielded non-significant bias-adjusted mean g estimates in the small to negligible range for both constructs. For parent vs. teacher ratings, mean g values ranged from 0.015 to 0.176, but all were deemed negligible. In the case of teacher vs. youth self-report ratings, mean g varied considerably, ranging from −0.033 to 0.670-but all mean g values were non-significant and based on only a small number of studies. No significant moderators were found for any of the standardized mean differences across all rater-pairs and constructs.These results suggest that covariation across informants regarding internalizing symptoms in youth with ASD tends to be small to moderate, depending on the rater-pairs, and typically involves negligible mean differences between rater types. Additional inter-rater studies are needed, in general, to improve precision of effect size estimates and provide additional power for moderator analyses, but are needed, in particular, for teacher vs. youth self-report ratings-where overall estimates are based on too few studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. ​This handbook synthesizes and analyzes the growing knowledge base on life course health development (LCHD) from the prenatal period through emerging adulthood, with implications for clinical practice and public health. It presents LCHD as an innovative field with a sound theoretical framework for understanding wellness and disease from a lifespan perspective, replacing previous medical, biopsychosocial, and early genomic models of health. Interdisciplinary chapters discuss major health concerns (diabetes, obesity), important less-studied conditions (hearing, kidney health), and large-scale issues (nutrition, adversity) from a lifespan viewpoint. In addition, chapters address methodological approaches and challenges by analyzing existing measures, studies, and surveys. The book concludes with the editors’ research agenda that proposes priorities for future LCHD research and its application to health care practice and health policy. Topics featured in the Handbook include: The prenatal period and its effect on child obesity and metabolic outcomes. Pregnancy complications and their effect on women’s cardiovascular health. A multi-level approach for obesity prevention in children. Application of the LCHD framework to autism spectrum disorder. Socioeconomic disadvantage and its influence on health development across the lifespan. The importance of nutrition to optimal health development across the lifespan. The Handbook of Life Course Health Development is a must-have resource for researchers, clinicians/professionals, and graduate students in developmental psychology/science; maternal and child health; social work; health economics; educational policy and politics; and medical law as well as many interrelated subdisciplines in psychology, medicine, public health, mental health, education, social welfare, economics, sociology, and law.

Download or read book Autism Spectrum Disorders written by Andreas M. Grabrucker and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autism spectrum disorders are developmental disorders. Individuals with autism spectrum disorders develop differently. These differences are usually present in social interaction, communication, and sensory processing, and become visible through a wide variety of behavioral responses that differ from individuals without autism spectrum disorders. Despite significant research efforts, the exact causes of autism spectrum disorders remain poorly understood; however, researchers have gained extensive insights into possible pathomechanisms, even at the molecular level of cells. Many diagnostic criteria have been developed, adapted, and improved. The eight chapters in this book highlight the current state-of-the-art in many areas of autism spectrum disorders. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the epidemiology of autism spectrum disorders and the current knowledge of the underlying pathogenic mechanisms. Chapter 2 summarizes the diagnostic criteria and procedures and highlights present and upcoming therapeutic strategies. Chapter 3 reviews the adverse events and trauma in people with autism spectrum disorders. Chapters 4 and 5 focus on atypical sensory processing, and Chapter 6 discusses the genetic overlap of autism spectrum disorders with other neuropsychiatric disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, and schizophrenia. Chapter 7 focuses on the contribution of abnormalities in mitochondria, and chapter 8 discusses gut-brain interactions and a potential role for microbiota in autism spectrum disorders. This book is aimed primarily at clinicians and scientists, but many areas will also be of interest to the layperson.

Download or read book The Intersectionality of Sex Race and Ethnicity in Externalizing Internalizing and Adaptive Symptoms in Youth with ASD ADHD and Comorbid ASD ADHD written by Liliana L. Acosta and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are two prominent neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) typically diagnosed in childhood with complex presentations (Ng et al., 2019; Scandurra et al., 2019). There is a large literature base for ASD and ADHD, which informs evaluation, diagnosis, and intervention findings. However, literature is often based on predominately Non-Hispanic White male samples, yet generalized to all children. Additionally, although the DSM-5 now permits diagnosing comorbid ASD and ADHD, very few studies have investigated symptom profiles for children with comorbid ASD/ADHD. This study investigated differences across three groups; ASD, ADHD and comorbid ASD/ADHD for internalizing, externalizing and adaptive behavior composite scores on the BASC-3 by sex, race, and ethnicity. Results indicated significant effect for diagnostic group only but not sex, race or ethnicity variables. Significantly higher Adaptive Skills were noted for the ADHD group as compared to both the ASD and the comorbid ASD/ADHD groups.

Download or read book Predictors of Parent teacher Agreement on Emotional and Behavioral Problems and Autism Symptoms in Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Their Typically Developing Siblings written by Elizabeth Ashley Stratis and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the assessment of psychological functioning in youth, it is considered a gold standard to elicit information from multiple informants. However, agreement between informants is not perfect, typically falling in the moderate range. These discrepancies between informants reflect, in part, contextual variations in children's behavior. However, for typically developing (TD) youth, several variables predict these discrepancies, including child and parent demographic characteristics. Despite being widely studied in TD youth, few consistent predictors have been identified, which may be related to differences in methodology across studies. Additionally, limited information is currently available regarding predictors of informant agreement in youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study utilized data from the Simons Simplex Collection (SSC), which provided a large and well-characterized sample of youth with ASD and their TD siblings. Parent-teacher agreement was investigated on the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA) and the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS). Agreement consistently fell in the moderate range for both scales. While parent-teacher agreement was higher for externalizing problems than internalizing problems for TD siblings, agreement was fairly consistent across these types of behavioral concerns for youth with ASD. Three types of parent-teacher discrepancy scores were investigated; the standardized difference score showed equivalent agreement with both parent and teacher original ratings, while the raw and residual difference scores showed differential agreement. A variety of clinical and demographic variables were considered as predictors of these discrepancy scores, and results varied across youth with ASD and their TD siblings. For children with ASD, child IQ, parent reported emotional and behavioral problems, and parent and teacher reported ASD symptoms predicted parent-teacher agreement on the ASEBA scales. On the SRS, child IQ, child receptive language, clinician rated ASD symptoms, adaptive behavior, and parent and teacher reported emotional and behavioral problems were significant predictors of parent-teacher agreement. For TD siblings, parent and teacher reported ASD symptoms, and parental race and education were the only consistent predictors of parent-teacher agreement on the ASEBA scales. On the SRS, child sex, child race, parent and teacher rated emotional and behavioral problems, parental education, and parental broader autism phenotype characteristics were predictors of parent-teacher agreement. This study highlights that the magnitude of parent-teacher agreement is similar across children with ASD and TD children, although patterns of agreement vary across these populations. Further, the factors that influence parent-teacher agreement on emotional and behavioral problems and ASD symptoms vary across children with ASD and TD children. This implies that past research in TD children cannot be simply extended to children with ASD, and further research is needed to clarify what factors are associated with informant agreement in children with ASD to identify when the use of multiple informants is the most critical. Findings in this study also suggest that rater bias impacts informant ratings for both children with ASD and their TD siblings; further research is warranted to understand how characteristics of the informant impact ratings of emotional and behavioral problems and ASD symptoms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has evolved greatly since Asperger's day. And as our clinical understanding of this spectrum of disorders has grown, so has recognition of the connections between anxiety disorders and ASD—a welcome development, but also a source of confusion for many in the field. The Handbook of Autism and Anxiety brings together leading experts to explain this comorbidity, the diagnostic similarities and differences between the two disorders and the extent to which treatment for each can be coordinated for optimum results. Focusing on repetitive behaviors, social difficulties and fears as core components of anxiety disorders as well as ASD, contributors discuss specific symptoms in depth to aid in diagnosis. Assessment and treatment issues relevant to the autism-anxiety connection are considered in clinical and school contexts. And an especially timely conclusion details how key changes in the DSM-5 affect the diagnosis and conceptualization of each disorder. Key topics addressed in the Handbook include: Phenotypic variability in ASD: clinical considerations. Etiologic factors and transdiagnostic processes. Social worries and difficulties: autism and/or social anxiety disorder? Implementing group CBT interventions for youth with ASD and anxiety in clinical practice. Autism and anxiety in school settings. DSM-5 and autism spectrum disorder. The Handbook of Autism and Anxiety is an essential resource for researchers, clinicians/professionals and graduate students in child and school psychology, psychiatry, social work, education, clinical counseling and behavioral therapy.
