MORE ABOUT ADULT OUTCOMES IN AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER

College, London and James McCauley, Ph.D. from UCLA

Conflict of interest and funding■ I receive royalties from Western Psychological
Services for the ADI-R, ADOS and SCQ. Proceeds from projects and clinics in which I am involved are donated to HAVE DREAMS in a wrap-around program in Chicago.
■ I receive funding from NIMH, NICHD, DoD, HRSA, Autism Speaks and the Simons Foundation.

Can we diagnose autism in 2 year olds?
■Multiple measures
■Two different cohorts: range of income, rural/urban, education levels; white and African American
■Parent reports and direct observations
■192 consecutive referrals for ASD; 21 DD controls (no evid ASD);about 50 “new” recruits
-
Watching “separate groups” become less distinguishable■ In our longitudinal study: face to face at 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 19, 26,
30 (long interview at 14)■ Some kids moved out of the spectrum – out of 192, one at
5, one more at 9, 8 at 19, 5 at 26■ Some moved into the spectrum, 2 at 3, 2 at 9, 2 at 19, 1 at
26■ Many of the outcomes of our “control” participants are not
that different than the ASD participants with similar IQs

Variability in achievement levels at age 9 and 18 for low vs. high IQ groups
* Red boxes indicate the proportions of children in the grade level
PresenterPresentation NotesHuge variability in achievement levels at ages 9 and 18, especially for both low and high IQ groups at age 9, and then for lower IQ group at age 18.

Key messages so far■ Subjective and objective measures of adult outcome are not the same
■ We struggle with how to measure subjective outcome
■ ASD outcomes are not that different than those of children referred at 2 or at 10 for possible autism
■ Can’t deny or underestimate the effects of intellectual disability, which are not that apparent at age 2, but become clearer by 3
■ We can’t underestimate the importance of trajectories of language, adaptive and social development
■ We can measure milestones such as peer connectivity, academic progress, decreases in repetitive behavior but we don’t really no directions of causality
■ Remember role of parents and probably nonspecific aspects of the environment
