Se analizaron los dominios de afecto social (AS) y conducta restringida y repetitiva (CRR) del Programa de Observación de Diagnóstico de Autismo (PODA) en relación con las habilidades adaptativas. Los puntajes de PODA aportaron una variación única a las puntuaciones en cada dominio de la escala de Vineland, aunque la capacidad cognitiva y la edad explicaron considerablemente más varianza entre los dominios. Los resultados indican que existe una asociación significativa, pero pequeña, entre los déficits de afecto social y las habilidades adaptativas, desafiando a los clı́nicos, educadores y cuidadores a centrarse en las habilidades adaptativas además de las caracterı́sticas más especı́ficas del TEA.","PeriodicalId":51508,"journal":{"name":"Ajidd-American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities","volume":"53 1","pages":"95-96"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87143053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though anxiety has been identified as a frequently present characteristic in AS, there are limited studies examining anxiety in this population. Studies of anxiety in other neurodevelopmental disorders have found disorder specific symptoms of anxiety and age specific displays of anxiety symptoms. However, there is a consistent challenge in identifying anxiety in people with neurodevelopmental disorders given the lack of measurement instruments specifically designed for this population. Given the limited information about AS and anxiety, the aims of the current project were to (a) examine symptoms of anxiety in children with AS and (b) determine the correlates of anxiety in children with AS. Participants included 42 adult caregivers of youth with AS in the AS Natural History study who completed the Developmental Behavior Checklist (DBC). The results found that 26% of the sample demonstrated elevated symptoms of anxiety and established a relationship between elevated anxiety in youth with AS and higher levels of irritability, hyperactivity, self-absorbed behaviors, and disruptive/antisocial behaviors.
