Little is known about use of early interventions for autism spectrum disorder in Europe. Parents children with aged 7 years or younger ( N = 1680) were recruited through parent organisations 18 European countries and completed an online survey the their child received. There was considerable variation interventions, some more than 20% received no intervention at all. The most frequently reported speech language therapy (64%) behavioural, developmental relationship-based (55%). In parts...
Research on sex-related differences in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been impeded by small samples. We pooled 28 datasets from 18 sites across nine European countries to examine sex the ASD phenotype ADI-R (376 females, 1763 males) and ADOS (233 1187 males). On ADI-R, early childhood restricted repetitive behaviours were lower females than males, alongside comparable levels of social interaction communication difficulties males. Current scores showed no for severity. There...
Investigation into the earliest signs of autism in infants has become a significant sub-field research. This work invokes specific ethical concerns such as use ‘at-risk’ language, communicating study findings to parents and future perspective enrolled when they reach adulthood. aimed ground this research field an understanding perspectives members community. Following focus groups identify topics, online survey was distributed autistic adults, children with practitioners health education...
This study investigates early development and language acquisition in moderate-to-late preterm (MLPT) infants, focusing on social communication as a key factor. Using longitudinal design, communicative, cognitive outcomes were assessed at 12, 18, 24 months 106 including 49 MLPT 57 full-term (FT) infants. Standardized tools, the Bayley Scales of Infant Toddler Development (Bayley-III), Vineland Adaptive Behavior (Vineland-3), Social Attention Communication Surveillance-Revised (SACS-R), used...
The current study aimed to investigate the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) algorithms for toddlers and young preschoolers (Kim Lord, J Dev Disord 42(1):82–93, 2012) in a non-US sample from ten sites nine countries (n = 1,104). construct validity indicated good fit of algorithms. diagnostic was lower, with satisfactorily high specificities but moderate sensitivities. Young children clinical ASD lower language ability were largely mild-to-moderate or moderate-to-severe concern...
Over the last several years there has been an increasing focus on early detection of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), not only from scientific field but also professional associations and public health systems all across Europe. Not surprisingly, in order to offer better services quality life for both children with ASD their families, different screening procedures tools have developed assessment intervention. However, current evidence is needed healthcare providers policy makers be able...
Abstract Research providing an evidence-base for autistic adult services is sparse. The Autism Spectrum Disorders in the European Union (ASDEU) network implemented on-line survey to determine gaps diagnostic evaluation and post-diagnostic support services. More than 55% all groups experienced most of recommended features adults. In contrast, < 2% adults or carers, 21% professionals each support. contrast 61% professionals, only about 30% carers had knowledge good local models autism...
Due to the inexistence of an aetiology-based intervention for autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) families and professionals are exposed diverse sometimes conflictive recommendations when they have decide most adequate alternative treatment.To elaborate treatment guidelines agreed by consensus at ASD Study Group (National) Institute Health Carlos III.Information about was searched gathered through available evidence based medical (EBM) databases. The data generated complemented with practice...
In advance of the 2019 INSAR Conference in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, I asked members Autism Research Editorial Board and Associate Editors to write short (approximately 300 word) mini-commentaries on what they considered be current gaps research autism spectrum disorder.The responses styles were diverse reflect ranging from basic biology treatment trials services for transition adulthood.They thoughts countries around world.While each contributions was done entirely independently, it is...
Adults with autism and adults schizophrenia show difficulties in adaptive skills, especially those related to daily functioning. Some studies suggest that skills are associated deficits executive functions (EF), while others indicate intelligence quotient (IQ) might also play a role. Literature suggests autistic symptoms further affect skills. The interest of the current study, therefore, was explore what extent IQ, EFs as well core predict skills.To do this, 25 controls, 24 autism, 12 were...
Delivering and receiving a postnatal diagnosis of Down syndrome is not an easy experience for most physicians or parents. In this study, 467 mothers children with in Spain completed survey about the support services they received immediately following their child. Mothers reported feeling anxious, frightened, guilty, angry, and, rare cases, suicidal. According to mothers, did give adequate amounts information rarely enough printed materials make referrals parent groups. Little seems have...
Autism is a lifelong complex neurodevelopmental condition that affects brain development and behaviour with significant consequences for everyday life. Despite its personal, familial, societal impact, Europe-wide harmonised guidelines are still lacking early detection, diagnosis, intervention, leading to an overall unsatisfactory autistic person carer journey.The care pathway children adolescents was analysed in Italy, Spain the UK from perspective of carers (using survey aimed at caregivers...
