Early Screening

The aim of this systematic review is to identify recent digital technologies used to detect early signs of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in preschool children (i.e., up to six years of age). A systematic literature search was performed for English language articles and conference papers indexed in Pubmed, PsycInfo, ERIC, CINAHL, WoS, IEEE, and ACM digital libraries up until January 2020. A follow-up search was conducted to cover the literature published until December 2020 for the usefulness and interest in this area of research during the Covid-19 emergency. In total, 2427 articles were initially retrieved from databases search. Additional 481 articles were retrieved from follow-up search. Finally, 28 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. The studies included involved four main interface modalities: Natural User Interface (e.g., eye trackers), PC or mobile, Wearable, and Robotics. Most of the papers included (n = 20) involved the use of Level 1 screening tools. Notwithstanding the variability of the solutions identified, psychometric information points to considering available technologies as promising supports in clinical practice to detect early sign of ASD in young children. Further research is needed to understand the acceptability and increase use rates of technology-based screenings in clinical settings.

Outcomes For Children

Screening for autism spectrum disorder is the first step toward early detection and diagnosis, thereby impacting the likelihood of children accessing early intervention and, importantly, improving long-term outcomes. This systematic review aimed to (a) establish a clear baseline of autism spectrum disorder screening tools currently used throughout mainland China and surrounding regions, (b) identify the strengths and limitations of these instruments, and (c) develop specific recommendations regarding screening for autism spectrum disorder throughout Chinese-speaking countries. Databases were searched for recent (2015–2018) articles published in Chinese or English languages. Twenty-two studies (13 Chinese, 9 English) met inclusion criteria; two from Taiwan and the remainder from mainland China. Studies varied greatly in the extent of psychometric analyses and reported autism spectrum disorder prevalence. The majority of diagnoses were based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed. (DSM-IV) or 5th ed. (DSM-5)) criteria, although a small number of studies utilized gold-standard diagnostic assessment instruments. It is recommended that a systematic, multi-tiered, screening network be established to improve the identification of autism spectrum disorder in China and surrounding regions. Assessment and diagnosis need to be culturally appropriate, and amenable to low-resource settings. In addition, increased public awareness programs to reduce stigma will be important in improving outcomes for children with autism spectrum disorder.

Teaching Interventions

The present study records and evaluates science-teaching interventions for students with intellectual disability (ID) or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) at all education levels, for better access to the general curriculum. We conducted a systematic review of the primary research literature published from 2008 to 2018. A total of 24 single-case designs were identified through determined inclusion criteria. The articles were coded based on specific variables, and they were analyzed as a descriptive synthesis. A synthesis was then approached and the PND effect size was calculated. The study concludes that using systematic instruction with supplemental practices and technology support in teaching science to students with ID or ASD will allow them to make more meaningful natural-world connections through their learning. In addition, designing postsecondary programs for this population will contribute to building a society with equal participation and progress. The necessity for continuous research in teaching science to students with ID or ASD is also emphasized.

The Impact

AimsThe aims of this systematic review are to summarise data on the prevalence of suicidal behaviours and self-harm in under 18s with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and consider the impact of Intellectual Disability (ID). It was hypothesised that the prevalence of these behaviours may be higher in under 18s with ASD than in the general population.BackgroundIn the general population, rates of self-harm and suicide in under 18s are of increasing concern. Whilst there is an emerging evidence base considering suicidality in autistic adults, less in known about the experience of under 18s. There has been very little research focused on how self-harm seen within the general population presents in the context of ASD and whether it continues to be a predictor of future suicidal behaviour. This may be partly due to self-harm being considered alongside Self-Injurious Behaviours (SIB), which have long been recognised as part of the clinical presentation of ASD and may have other functions (e.g. fulfilling sensory stimulation needs).MethodA systematic literature search was conducted in line with PRISMA guidelines. For this review, all papers that included data on prevalence of self-harm and/or suicidal behaviours in under 18s with ASD were included. Studies that only reported on the prevalence of the broader entity of SIB (characterised as stereotypic or habitual) were excluded.Result338 papers were initially identified and 9 met eligibility criteria. There was considerable variation in how different aspects of self-harm and suicidal behaviours were addressed between groups and also between population samples, making it difficult to generalise the findings. The prevalence of self-harming and suicidal behaviours ranged from 7% to 73%, indicating that this is a clinically significant problem for this patient group. The only study that considered the impact of co-existing ID did not identify significant differences between groups (ID vs no ID).ConclusionThere was variation in the reported prevalence rates but results suggested that rates of both self-harm and suicidal behaviour may be elevated in under 18s with ASD compared to the general population. This is in keeping with literature relating to autistic adults but in contrast to conclusions of a previous systematic review. This review highlights the need for further research to explore the experience of self-harm and suicidal behaviour in autistic children and young people.
