Patterns of Psychotropic Prescribing Practices in Autistic Children and Adolescents
This study aims to describe the utilisation of psychotropic medications in Australian autistic children and adolescents. All children and adolescents with available Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data who endorsed an autism diagnosis in The Longitudinal Study of Australian Children, including both B (n = 233, age 0-1 years in wave 1) and K cohorts (n = 157, age 4-5 years in wave 1), were included to describe psychotropic prescribing patterns. 212…

Characteristics of adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder consecutively referred to an Australian private psychiatric clinic
Objective Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is internationally well described but little clinical information has emerged from Australia. We explored the demographic and psychiatric characteristics of adults consecutively referred to an Australian private psychiatric clinic.Methods Medical records of 473 adults aged 18–70 with ADHD were reviewed with the Adult Self-Report Scale (ASRS) 1.1, Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale-2…

Problem Behavior in Autism Spectrum Disorder
In addition to the core symptoms that define autism spectrum disorder (ASD), many individuals experience broader problem behavior at a level significant enough for families to seek further clinical assessment and intervention. We define "problem behavior" as any significant emotional or behavioral issue captured by the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) including anxiety, depression, withdrawal, somatic complaints, problems with socialization, thoug…
A Pilot Acceptability Study of an ‘AllPlay Pre-Learn’ Day Program to Facilitate Participation in Organised Physical Activity for Children with Disabilities
In a mixed-methods design, the current study aimed to evaluate the acceptability of a junior Australian rules football program across two 'AllPlay Pre-Learn' days for children aged 5-11 years with disabilities, based on parent and child responses. Three online surveys were created by health professionals based on existing participation models. Surveys were completed by parents immediately before ( n = 23), after the 'Pre-Learn' days ( n = 15) and…
A visual analogue scale companion for the six‐item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale
ObjectiveThe six‐item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD6) is a clinician rated measure which lacks a self‐report companion. We explored whether a six‐item client rated visual analogue scale (VAS6) based on the HAMD6, was a consistent and valid measure of depression and useful for clinical practice.MethodParticipants were N = 117 participants, 88 (75%) female, with major depressive disorder (MDD) who received transcranial magnetic stimulation…
Gender variance in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder from the National Database for Autism Research
Previous studies suggest elevated rates of gender variance (GV), the wish to be of the other gender, in those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study aimed to understand the rate of GV in children and adolescents with ASD and explore differences in sex, age, and emotional-behavioral problems relative to those referred to clinical services for mental health concerns (“referred”) and to the general population (“non-referred”). A secondary a…
A Multidisciplinary Perspective on Motor Impairment as an Early Behavioural Marker in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
ObjectivesThere is no medical test for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a heterogeneous condition currently defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (DSM‐5) by dysfunction in social, communication, and behavioural dimensions. There is agreement in the literature that the motor profile of ASD may hold the key to improving clinical and diagnostic definition, with DSM‐5 now referring to motor deficits, includ…
