dc.description.abstract | Children with autism often struggle with emotional and behavioral problems (EBP). This
study investigated whether level of autism symptoms, attention problems or verbal IQ at
baseline can predict EBP 2 years later in children with High-Functioning Autism (HFA).
Thirty-four participants with HFA and 45 typically developing children (TD) (ages 9–16)
were assessed with parent ratings of EBP, autism symptoms, attention problems, and a
test of verbal IQ. The amount of autism symptoms and degree of attention problems
at baseline significantly predicted EBP at follow-up, whereas verbal IQ did not. The
findings from this study emphasize the importance of assessing and understanding
the consequences of autism symptoms and attention problems when treating EBP in
children with HFA. Furthermore, interventions aimed at improving ASD symptoms may
positively affect the prevalence of EBP in children with HFA. | nb_NO |
