Abstract

Three subtypes of autism based on social style have been proposed by Wing: active-but-odd, passive, or aloof. Previous research has shown evidence of an association between IQ and Wing subtype in untreated children and adults. Because IQ changes can accompany behavioral treatment, but often only for a subset of children, social subtype may be related to treatment responsiveness. We administered a social subtyping measure, the Wing Subgroups Questionnaire (WSQ), at various points in treatment to younger children than previously studied with autism in early, intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI). Thirty-seven children in EIBI (aged 39-71 months, amount of EIBI 0-44 months) were assessed to determine whether Wing's three proposed subtypes were found in this sample and whether subtypes were associated with current IQ and change in IQ after a period of EIBI. Results confirmed that all three subtypes were present and correlated with IQ after a period of intervention, as well as with change in IQ. Participants classified as aloof had significantly lower IQ scores and changes in IQ after EIBI than other children. Future studies should extend these findings by examining whether social subtype at pretreatment predicts EIBI outcome.

  • Language skills and IQ (nonverbal at early ages; verbal at later ages) are the strongest predictors of outcome both in naturalistic studies and in response to treatment.

    “Nevertheless, language skills and IQ (nonverbal at early ages; verbal at later ages) are the strongest predictors of outcome both in naturalistic studies (Anderson et al. 2014) and in response to treatment (Beglinger & Smith 2005, Howlin et al. 2004, Sallows & Graupner 2005).”

  • Young children with ASD who display stronger social approach ('wanting') and fewer avoidance behaviors at treatment onset are more responsive to early intensive behavioral interventions than are passive and avoidant children.

    “Young children with ASD who display stronger social approach (‘wanting’) and fewer avoidance behaviors at treatment onset are more responsive to early intensive behavioral interventions than are passive and avoidant children [198-202].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
