“…The ITSEA measures social emotional behaviors and competencies for children 12 months–35 months, 30 days and has good internal consistency ( α = 0.85–0.89), acceptable‐to‐excellent test‐retest reliability ( r = 0.76–0.91), and strong inter‐rater reliability ( r = 0.72–0.79). Autistic children were included in the normative sample and this measure has additionally been validated in an autistic sample (Briggs‐Gowan & Carter, 1998 ; First et al., 2013 ; Mottes, 2015 ). Autistic children were not excluded from the ITSEAs norming sample (First et al., 2013 ), the ITSEA has been used to evaluate disruptive behavior in young autistic toddlers (Mottes, 2015 ), and researchers have used the ITSEA to screen young children for autism (Kruizinga et al., 2014 ).…”

ObjectiveEarly measurement of atypical disruptive behavior within autistic children is critical for later referrals to behavioral screenings, diagnoses, and services. Disruptive behavior in autistic toddlers is often measured using a categorical approach and identifies the presence or absence of behavior. In contrast, dimensional approaches evaluate behavior on a spectrum of typical to atypical by measuring the clinical salience of disruptive behavior. We sought to assess the validity of the Infant/Toddler version of the multidimensional assessment profile of disruptive behavior (MAP‐DB‐IT), a dimensional approach measurement tool, in a sample of autistic toddlers.MethodsAutistic toddlers (n = 82, Mage = 33.2 months, SD = 6.28 months) and their mothers received 8 weeks of caregiver‐mediated social communication intervention. Mothers completed the MAP‐DB‐IT and the Infant Toddler Social Emotional Assessment (ITSEA) across three timepoints: before intervention, immediately after intervention, and at 3 months post‐intervention follow‐up. The MAP‐DB‐IT provided scores for three subdomains: temper loss, noncompliance, and aggression (generically or specifically with siblings). Ratings on the MAP‐DB‐IT were compared to the ITSEA using several analytic strategies such as evaluating (a) the internal consistency of the MAP‐DB‐IT domain scores; (b) the convergent validity between the two measures; and (c) its convergent change due to intervention and if this varied by child characteristics.ResultsThe MAP‐DB‐IT demonstrated excellent internal consistency across all four subdomains. We evaluated convergent validity and found positive correlations between the (a) ITSEA externalizing and MAP‐DB‐IT aggression domain, (b) ITSEA externalizing and MAP‐DB‐IT aggression with siblings domain, and (c) ITSEA dysregulation and MAP‐DB‐IT temper loss domain.ConclusionThe MAP‐DB‐IT is a valid measurement tool for disruptive behavior in autistic toddlers. Clinicians should consider the use of the MAP‐DB‐IT for young autistic clients presenting with disruptive behavior to (a) discriminate between early developmentally appropriate tantrums from clinically salient dysregulation, and (b) refer to additional behavioral evaluations and services.

Background Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) affects 50 to 80 per cent of women. The existing literature has examined NVP from the perspective of the mother, and relatively less is known about offspring outcomes. Objectives To study the relationships of NVP with social‐emotional, behavioural, and cognitive outcomes of the offspring in a multi‐ethnic Asian cohort. Methods In the Growing Up in Singapore Towards Healthy Outcomes prospective mother‐offspring cohort study, mothers responded to a structured NVP questionnaire at 26‐28 weeks’ gestation (n = 1172) and participants with severe NVP were confirmed using medical records. Children underwent multiple neurodevelopmental assessments throughout childhood. We conducted multivariable regressions with post‐estimation predictive margins to understand the associations of NVP with offspring neurobehavioural outcomes, which included 1‐year Infant‐Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment, 1.5‐year Quantitative Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, 2‐year Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 2‐ and 4‐year Child Behavior Checklist, and 4.5‐year Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test. Analyses were adjusted for household income, birth variables, maternal mental health, and other relevant medical variables. Cohen's d effect sizes were calculated using standardised mean differences (μd). Results Mothers were categorised into no (n = 296, 25.3%), mild‐moderate (n = 686, 58.5%), and severe NVP (n = 190, 16.2%), of whom 67 (5.7%) required admission. Compared to children of mothers who had no or mild‐moderate NVP, children with exposure to severe NVP exhibited more externalising behaviours (μd 2.0, 95% CI 0.3, 3.6; Cohen's d = 0.33) and social communication difficulties before 2 years (μd 4.1, 95% Cl 0.1, 8.0; Cohen's d = 0.38), both externalising (μd 1.5, 95% CI 0.4, 2.6; Cohen's d = 0.43) and internalising behaviours at 2 years (μd 1.2, 95% CI 0.1, 2.2; Cohen's d = 0.35), and only internalising behaviours after 2 years (μd 1.1, 95% CI 0.4, 2.0; Cohen's d = 0.37). Conclusions Severe NVP is highly prevalent in this Asian cohort and may be adversely associated with multiple offspring neurobehavioural outcomes.
