clinical sample of (n = 65) preschool children attending a paediatric hospitaln Ireland were diagnosed with ASD during 2003–2006 (Time 1; mean age

years) and were seen for review assessments in 2008 (Time 2; mean ageyears) as part of a multidisciplinary research project. The aim of the studyas to determine the stability and/or change in diagnosis of Autism/ASD, I.Q,daptive behaviour, Receptive and Expressive language functioning overtime in

his cohort of children. Standardized instruments were used at Time 2, includingISCO, ADOS, I.Q, Vineland-II and a range of formal Language tests. At Time, diagnostic stability for an ASD diagnosis (autism or autism spectrum disorder)as 98% using either the Disco or ADOS. Ninety-seven percent scored on

he DISCO and 85% scored on the ADOS. For this clinical group there was atatistically significant increase in I.Q., Adaptive Behaviour and Receptive andxpressive Language from Time 1 to Time 2. The results add to the current bodyf research indicating both stability and change in functioning among preschoolhildren with ASD overtime.

everal studies have found impaired recognition of emotional facial expres-ions in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, the question of whether theatterns of impaired facial expression recognition are common across ASD sub-ypes remains unanswered. The present study examined the recognition of facialxpressions conveying the six basic emotions by individuals with ASD. Indivi-uals with Asperger’s disorder (ASP) and pervasive developmental disorder-nottherwise specified (PDD-NOS) were worse at recognizing fearful faces thanere typically developing individuals. Individuals with PDD-NOS were less

ccurate in recognizing disgusted faces than were those with ASP. The resultsuggest that the subtypes of ASD are characterized by both shared and uniquempairments in the ability to recognize facial expressions. Furthermore, impair-

ent of fearful but not disgusted expression recognition was related to socialysfunction in those with ASP and PDD-NOS. The results suggest that impair-ent in the ability to recognize fearful and disgusted faces may reflect the

everity of the social dysfunction across ASD subtypes and concomitant pro-lems associated with PDD-NOS, respectively.

sing a populational claims data from 1997 to 2009 National Health Insuranceesearch Database (NIHRD) in Taiwan, this study longitudinally investigated

he secular trends in the annual prevalence of developmental disabilities (DDs)n Taiwanese youngsters aged up to 18 across a 12-year span. We used trajectorynalysis to categorize standardized prevalence rates of various diseases into fourategories. The results showed that almost all prevalence rates of DDs raisedonstantly, except blindness’s and spina bifida’s decreased after their climaxes in000. There were steep rising trend of cerebral palsy and seizure reaching theirlateaus before year 2000. Most importantly, the increasing trends of ADHD,utism and learning disability raised dramatically in the past few years. Thencreasing trends of ADHD and autism seem not to result from the compen-ation or diagnostic shifting from other relevant diseases. Improving socialwareness and advancing healthcare providing systems may be the most likelyeasons.

he Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) is commonly used by clini-ians to screen for Autism Spectrum Disorders. As there is limited research onts utility in the Asian population, this study seeks to examine the concurrentalidity of the SCQ with diagnostic assessments such as the Autism Diagnosticnterview – Revised (ADI-R) and the Autism Diagnostic Observation ScheduleADOS). Correlation analyses revealed positive correlations between SCQ andDI-R total scores (r = 0.49, P < 0.05). SCQ total score also correlated positi-ely with the reciprocal social interaction (r = 0.44, P < 0.05) and communicationomains (r = 0.49, P < 0.05) of the ADI-R. Although ADI-R total score corre-ated positively with ADOS total score (r = 0.65, P < 0.01) and the stereotypedehaviors and restricted interests domain of the ADOS (r = 0.64, P < 0.01), cor-elations between SCQ total score and the total and domain scores of the ADOSere not found to be significant. Implications of the findings are discussed.
