| Abstract | espanolIntroduccion. Los ninos con trastorno del espectro autista (TEA) presentan mas dificultades en el funcionamiento adaptativo que los ninos con desarrollo tipico, debido probablemente a los sintomas propios del trastorno. No obstante, recientes estudios sugieren una implicacion multifactorial en los deficits adaptativos, aunque se requieren mas investigaciones para identificar los factores mas importantes. Objetivos. 1) Examinar las diferencias en el perfil de funcionamiento adaptativo de ninos con TEA y ninos con desarrollo tipico (TD); 2) Estudiar en ninos con TEA la relacion entre las habilidades adaptativas y la sintomatologia nuclear del autismo junto con los problemas comportamentales y emocionales. Metodo. Participaron 87 ninos (52 con diagnostico de TEA de alto funcionamiento y 36 con desarrollo tipico) entre 7 y 11 anos igualados en edad y capacidad cognitiva. Se cumplimento la escala Vineland-II y el cuestionario de Fortalezas y Dificultades (SDQ). Ademas, se utilizaron las puntuaciones dimensionales de los criterios A y B del DSM-5 para valorar la sintomatologia de TEA. Resultados. Se observaron diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos en todos los dominios de la Vineland. Los analisis de regresion revelaron que las dificultades socio-comunicativas tenian mayor impacto en el funcionamiento adaptativo de los ninos con TEA aunque los problemas comportamentales tambien explicaron las disfunciones en el subdominio de habilidades sociales de la Vineland. Conclusiones. Nuestros hallazgos indican que los deficits socio-comunicativos tienen mayor poder predictivo para explicar las dificultades adaptativas que los patrones de conducta repetitivos y estereotipados en ninos con TEA de alto funcionamiento. EnglishIntroduction. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) present more difficulties in adaptive functioning than children with typical development, probably due to the symptoms of the disorder. However, recent studies suggest a multifactorial implication in adaptive deficits, although more research is needed to identify the most important factors. Aims. 1) Examine the differences in the adaptive functioning profile of children with ASD and children with typical development (TD); 2) Study in children with ASD the relationship between adaptive skills and the nuclear symptomatology of autism along with behavioral and emotional problems. Method. Participants were 87 children (52 with a diagnosis of high functioning ASD and 36 with typical development) between 7 and 11 years matched in age and cognitive ability. The Vineland-II scale and the Strengths and Difficulties questionnaire (SDQ) were completed. In addition, the dimensional scores of criteria A and B of the DSM- 5 were used to assess the symptomatology of ASD. Results. Significant differences were observed between both groups in all vineland domains. Regression analyzes revealed that socio-communicative difficulties had a greater impact on the adaptive functioning of children with ASD, although behavioral problems also explained dysfunctions in the Vineland social skills sub-domain. Conclusions. Our findings indicate that socio-communicative deficits have greater predictive power to explain adaptive difficulties than repetitive and stereotyped behavior patterns in children with high-functioning ASD. |
