Résumé

ContexteLes symptômes d’anxiété sont fréquents chez les enfants autistes ; toutefois, il est difficile d’évaluer avec précision les symptômes d’anxiété dans cette population en raison d’un manque d’outils d’évaluation de l’anxiété spécifiques à l’autisme. L’Anxiety Scale for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASC-ASD) est une mesure récemment développée conçue pour répondre à ce besoin. L’ASC-ASD est conçue spécifiquement pour être utilisée auprès d’enfants autistes et pour évaluer une symptomatologie anxieuse à la fois typique et atypique. Cette étude visait à fournir des données préliminaires concernant la validité de l’ASC-ASD, ainsi que les taux d’accord entre informateurs et la prévalence de la symptomatologie anxieuse mesurée par l’ASC-ASD.MéthodesAfin d’explorer le profil de la symptomatologie anxieuse recueilli par l’ASC-ASD, l’ASC-ASD et la Spence Children's Anxiety Scale (SCAS) ont été administrées à 30 enfants autistes âgés de 10 à 12 ans, ainsi qu’à leurs parents.RésultatsDes taux élevés de symptomatologie anxieuse ont été observés, 46 % des enfants et 80 % de leurs parents rapportant des scores dans la plage clinique à la SCAS. Les scores à la SCAS et à l’ASC-ASD étaient modérément à fortement corrélés. Dans l’ensemble, les enfants tendaient à approuver davantage d’items à l’ASC-ASD, tandis que les parents tendaient à approuver davantage d’items à la SCAS.ConclusionsLes résultats suggèrent que les enfants autistes et leurs parents peuvent avoir des perceptions différentes des symptômes d’anxiété vécus par les enfants autistes. Les résultats ont également indiqué que l’ASC-ASD est prometteuse comme évaluation spécifique à l’autisme de la symptomatologie anxieuse chez les enfants, bien que des recherches supplémentaires soient nécessaires dans ce domaine.

BackgroundAnxiety symptoms are common in autistic children; however, it is difficult to accurately assess the symptoms of anxiety in this population due to a lack of autism‐specific anxiety assessment tools. The Anxiety Scale for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASC‐ASD) is a newly developed measure designed to address this need. The ASC‐ASD is designed specifically for use with autistic children, and is designed to assess both typical and atypical anxiety symptomatology. This study aimed to provide preliminary data regarding the validity of the ASC‐ASD, as well as rates of cross‐informant agreement and prevalence of anxiety symptomatology as measured by the ASC‐ASD.MethodsIn order to explore the profile of anxiety symptomatology captured by the ASC‐ASD, the ASC‐ASD and Spence Children's Anxiety Scale (SCAS) were administered to 30 autistic children, ages 10–12, and their parents.ResultsHigh rates of anxiety symptomatology were found, with 46% of the children and 80% of their parents reporting scores in the clinical range on the SCAS. Scores on the SCAS and ASC‐ASD were moderately to strongly correlated. Overall, children tended to endorse more items on the ASC‐ASD, whereas parents tended to endorse more items on the SCAS.ConclusionsFindings suggest that autistic children and their parents may have different perceptions of the anxiety symptoms experienced by autistic children. Findings also indicated that the ASC‐ASD has promise as an autism‐specific assessment of anxiety symptomatology in children, although further research is required in this area.
