Title: | The Association Between Social Responsivity and Depression in High-Functioning Boys with an Autism Spectrum Disorder | Contributor(s): | Bitsika, Vicki (author) ; Sharpley, Christopher (author) | Publication Date: | 2016 | DOI: | 10.1007/s10882-015-9470-0 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/20273 | Abstract: | The links between behaviours related to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and depression were investigated in a sample of 90 pre-adolescents (M age = 8.8 yr) and 60 adolescent males (M age = 14.6 yr). Parents completed the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) and the Depression subscale from the Child and Adolescent Symptom Inventory (CASI-D). Pre-adolescents had significantly higher SRS scores than adolescents, and there were also differences in the associations between SRS subscales and depression across the two age groups. Pre-adolescents' feelings of depression, worthlessness/guilt and fatigue were associated with their lack of self-confidence in social interactions; their anhedonia and fatigue were associated with feeling tense in social situations. Adolescents' feelings of depression and worthlessness/guilt were associated with touching others unusually. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 28(2), p. 317-331 | Publisher: | Springer New York LLC | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1573-3580 1056-263X |
