Understanding Repetitive Behaviours In Autism And Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder - Info and Reading Options

The Internet Archive:

Autism and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) share similarities in behavioural expressions with both conditions characterised in part by the presence of repetitive behaviours. The objective of this study is to assess how behavioural features, and associated outcomes, differ for people on the autism spectrum, versus those with OCD. In turn, this study aims to inform clearer parameters for differential diagnosis of autism versus OCD via a quantitative comparison of the symptom overlap – and symptom distinction – associated with repetitive behaviours in the form of restrictive and repetitive behaviours amongst individuals on the autism spectrum, and in the form of obsessive-compulsive behaviours amongst individuals with OCD. This study proposes two research questions: (1) How are expressions of repetitive behaviours the same or different in individuals with autism versus OCD; and (2) Are different factors (e.g., OCD symptomology, autistic traits, sensory features, psychological distress, quality of life) associated with the intensity and/or type of repetitive behaviour observed in autism versus OCD. This study will use a quantitative survey design, via an online questionnaire battery. The questionnaire battery will include a multi-dimensional measure for assessing RRBIs (RBQ-2A) (Barrett et al., 2015), and standardised measures assessing (1) autism symptomology (AQ) (Baron-Cohen et al., 2001), (2) obsessive-compulsive behaviours (Y-BOCS-II) (Storch et al., 2010); (3) psychological distress (PHQ-9) (Spitzer et al., 1999), and (4) quality of life (QoL; WHOQOL-BREF and ASQoL) (WHOQOL Group, 1998; McConachie et al., 2017). This study will use an online questionnaire battery administered via REDCap. The survey will be pilot tested with 2-3 individuals on the autism spectrum or with OCD prior to data collection to refine and confirm the appropriateness of the wording. Individuals who participate in pilot-testing will be offered a $25 gift voucher as reimbursement for their time. Participants will access the questionnaire battery online and participate independently on their smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer. Participants will begin by completing a series of eligibility (i.e., age and diagnostic) questions before being permitted to continue to the main questionnaire where they will complete a brief demographic section followed by the five self-report questionnaires. It is estimated that the survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.
