“…The data reported in this study were obtained in the scope of a larger study on neuroendocrine production, regulation and several other aspects of the emotional and behavioural profile of younger and older children with William syndrome, such as social and emotional indicators of Autism Spectrum in individuals with Williams syndrome (Osório et al, 2017; Teixeira et al, 2016). The parents attended a meeting for the Brazilian Association of Williams Syndrome and were invited to participate in various studies for the University research groups present at the meeting.…”

“…Around 200 caregivers were present in person at the meeting, and 35 parents accepted the invitation to participate in the present study. For more details on the other studies that had data collection with the same sample, please see Teixeira et al (2016) and Osório et al (2017). The selection criteria were: (a) Williams syndrome diagnosis confirmed by genetic deletions on 7q11.23 detected by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH); and (b) parents had to live with their child with Williams syndrome in the same house and spend at least 6 h per day with them.…”

BackgroundThe affective expression of sexual behaviour in individuals with Williams syndrome can lead to risky behaviours, especially if parents do not have information on how to provide sex education or support from specialised professionals.MethodThe Attitudes to Sexuality Questionnaire for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities was used to identify parental beliefs, attitudes and concerns about the sexuality and sex education of individuals with intellectual disabilities. The sample comprised 35 parents of individuals with Williams syndrome (mean age 12.8 years (SD = 4.5), 57.1% male).ResultsParents believe in the possibility of marriage and sexual relationships for individuals with intellectual disability when they are older and agree with sexual reproduction in adulthood. Parents consider that sex education, in addition to parental guidance, should be provided by professionals.ConclusionsThis data highlights the need for parents to have clear guidelines on interventions in respect of the sexuality of individuals with intellectual disability.

This study aimed to validate a French adaptation of the Griffith Empathy Measure (GEM-vf). Belgian mothers of 516 children from 3 to 12 years old completed the French versions of the GEM, the Empathy Questionnaire (EmQue-vf), the Theory of Mind Inventory-1 (ToMI-1-vf) and the Emotion Regulation Checklist (ERC-vf). The Theory of Mind Task Battery was administered to the children. A principal component analysis showed a two-factor structure in GEM-vf: affective and cognitive empathy. Internal consistency was good. The GEM-vf scores varied depending on age. Affective empathy was higher in girls. In terms of convergent validity, positive and significant correlations were obtained between total, affective and cognitive empathy scores in GEM-vf and scores in ToM skills and in emotion regulation. The three scores in GEM-vf were negatively and significantly correlated with emotion dysregulation. In a subsample of 299 children from 3 to 6 years old, positive and significant correlations were found between scores for total and affective empathy in GEM-vf and for attention to others’ feelings and prosocial actions in EmQue-vf. Cognitive empathy scores in GEM-vf were significantly related to those for prosocial actions in EmQue-vf. The GEM-vf presents good reliability and validity and could be useful to assess typically and atypically developing children in research and clinical practice.
