An Examination of the Phenomenology and the Reliability of Ratings of Compulsive Behavior in Autism.
Peer reviewedMcBride, Joelle A.; Panksepp, Jaak – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1995
Four staff members completed 3 questionnaires evaluating quantitative and qualitative aspects of compulsive and autistic behaviors of 17 young autistic adults in a farmstead residential facility. Results affirmed the utility and applicability of obsessive-compulsive assessment devices in evaluating behavior of autistic adults. (Author/DB)

This paper presents detailed recommendations for diagnosis of autism established by a multidisciplinary panel of the Child Neurology Society and the American Academy of Neurology. The paper offers dual-level (general development and specific symptoms) guidelines for diagnosis of autistic disorder, Asperger disorder, childhood disintegrative…

Direct linkBaron-Cohen, Simon; Wheelwright, Sally; Robinson, Janine; Woodbury-Smith, Marc – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2005
At the present time there are a large number of adults who have "suspected" Asperger syndrome (AS). In this paper we describe a new instrument, the Adult Asperger Assessment (AAA), developed in our clinic for adults with AS. The need for a new instrument relevant to the diagnosis of AS in adulthood arises because existing instruments are designed…

Peer reviewedCohen, Ira L.; Schmidt-Lackner, Susan; Romanczyk, Raymond; Sudhalter, Vicki – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2003
Two studies evaluated the PDD Behavior Inventory, (PDDBI), a rating scale designed to assess adaptive and maladaptive behaviors of children having a pervasive developmental disorder (PDD). It was concluded that the PDDBI is both reliable and valid and is useful in providing information not typically available in most instruments used to assess…

Peer reviewedAdrien, J. L.; And Others – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1991
Analyses of home movies taken by 12 parents before recognition of their children's autistic disorders confirmed that anomalies could be noted as early as the first few months of life, such as anomalies of eye contact, deficient variability of emotional expression, deficit of attention, and initiation of communication, and motor abnormalities.…

Peer reviewedAman, Michael G.; Turbott, Sarah H. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1991
Twenty-six children (ages 5-12) with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were tested before and after treatment with methylphenidate. Few performance tests predicted clinical response to medication. Chronological age and performance on a memory distraction task and the Graduated Holes Task were moderately correlated with clinical outcome.…

Peer reviewedKoegel, Lynn Kern; Koegel, Robert L.; Smith, Annette – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1997
A study of six children (ages 3-9) with autism assessed whether manipulation of variables related to motivation and attention in children with autism would influence performance on standardized tests. Results found the children showed higher scores when conditions were modified to improve the likelihood of responding to test stimuli. (Author/CR)

Peer reviewedBarthelemy, C.; And Others – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1997
A French study of 136 children (ages 20-139 months) with developmental disabilities investigated the reliability and validity of the Revised Behavior Summarized Evaluation Scale (BSE-R) in evaluating autistic behavior in children with developmental delays. The BSE-R was found to be useful for progressive recording of the evolution of patients…

Peer reviewedBarthelemy, C.; And Others – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1990
The Behavior Summarized Evaluation (BSE) measures changes in behavioral parameters in autistic children over time and treatments. Tests of reliability and validity suggest that the BSE is an acceptable tool for the assessment of autistic behaviors, is easy to handle, and is accessible to both professional and paraprofessional medicoeducative…

Peer reviewedLiss, Miriam; Fein, Deborah; Bullard, Sarah; Robins, Diana – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2000
A study involving 18 individuals with pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) (ages 9-21) and 67 controls found total score on the Biber Cognitive Estimation Test for both individuals with PDD and controls progressed consistently with mental age, development being the most dramatic around the mental age of 8 years. (Contains references.)…

Peer reviewedSchroeder, Stephen R.; And Others – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1997
This study examines the reliability and validity of various behavior rating scales, side effects checklists, and an ecobehavioral observation system used to study self-injurious behavior among persons with mental retardation. Findings from testing with 30 adults suggest that further refinement is necessary to reliably and sensitively assess the…

Peer reviewedBristol, Marie M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1987
The study demonstrated the effectiveness of a modified Double ABCX or FAAR (Family Adjustment and Adaptation Response) model in predicting successful adaptation (good marital adjustment, few maternal depressive symptoms, and an in-home rating of family functioning) in 45 families of autistic and communication impaired children (ages 2-10).…

Peer reviewedMcGee, Gail G.; Feldman, Robert S.; Morrier, Michael J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1997
This study compared the ongoing levels of naturally occurring behavior in 32 typical preschool-aged children and 32 children with autism. Results are discussed in terms of implications for establishing early social intervention goals for children with autism. It concludes that key peer-related behaviors must be assessed across time and activities…

Peer reviewedCrosland, Kimberly A.; Zarcone, Jennifer R.; Lindauer, Steven E.; Valdovinos, Maria G.; Zarcone, Troy J.; Hellings, Jessica A.; Schroeder, Stephen R. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2003
The atypical antipsychotic medication risperidone was evaluated using a double-blind, placebo-controlled design to treat destructive behavior in two males (ages 6 and 24) with autism. Destructive behavior during the demand condition was significantly reduced during the medication phases, whereas it continued to occur to obtain tangible items and…

Seventy-two children (ages 23-148 months) referred to an autism center in the Netherlands were administered the Psychoeducational Profile (PEP) and the Handicaps Behaviour and Skills Schedule (HBS). The correlation between the two instruments was higher than expected, and internal consistency of the subscales of the PEP and the HBS was…
