The Association Between IQ and Its Components and Anxiety in Autistic Girls
Objectives
To explore the effects of specific components of IQ on various forms of anxiety in autistic girls.
Methods
Full-Scale IQ, Block Design, Vocabulary, Matrix Reasoning and Similarities subtests of IQ, and Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety, and Separation Anxiety were assessed in a sample of 53 autistic girls aged 6 to 17 years old. The sample was dichotomised for age and menarche.
Results
Matrix Reasoning was found to be the only meaningful correlate of Social Anxiety for the entire sample, although inversely. Exploratory analyses suggested the possible effect of a developmentally based interaction between aspects of IQ and anxiety in autistic girls.
Conclusions
The role of developmentally linked sex hormone influences upon the social brain and prefrontal cortex function may underlie the associations between Matrix Reasoning and Social Anxiety in autistic girls.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Neurodevelopmental Disorders publishes high-quality research in the broad area of neurodevelopmental disorders across the lifespan. Study participants may include individuals with:Intellectual and developmental disabilitiesGlobal developmental delayCommunication disordersLanguage disordersSpeech sound disordersChildhood-onset fluency disorders (e.g., stuttering)Social (e.g., pragmatic) communication disordersUnspecified communication disordersAutism spectrum disorder (ASD)Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), specified and unspecifiedSpecific learning disordersMotor disordersDevelopmental coordination disordersStereotypic movement disorderTic disorders, specified and unspecifiedOther neurodevelopmental disorders, specified and unspecifiedPapers may also include studies of participants with neurodegenerative disorders that lead to a decline in intellectual functioning, including Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, corticobasal degeneration, Huntington’s disease, and progressive supranuclear palsy. The journal includes empirical, theoretical and review papers on a large variety of issues, populations, and domains, including but not limited to: diagnosis; incidence and prevalence; and educational, pharmacological, behavioral and cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and psychosocial interventions across the life span. Animal models of basic research that inform the understanding and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders are also welcomed. The journal is multidisciplinary and multi-theoretical, and encourages research from multiple specialties in the social sciences using quantitative and mixed-method research methodologies.
