    Variables related to the presence of challenging behaviors in adults with intellectual disability with and without autism spectrum disorder: a comparative, predictive and transdiagnostic study
    (Journal of mental health research in intellectual disabilities, 2024) Álvarez Couto, María; García Villamisar, Domingo Antonio; Pozo Armentia, Araceli Del
    Background: Adults with intellectual disability (ID) are at high risk of exhibiting challenging behaviors, especially those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There are clinical and transdiagnostic variables that are largely related to the existence of these behaviors, and it is necessary to know the particularities of their role in people with ASD and ID relative to those without ASD. Method: Eighty adults with ID and 83 with an additional ASD diagnosis participated in the study. We analyzed answers provided by their therapists to different measures of challenging behavior. Results: For the ASD population, emotional reactivity stood out as a predictor of self-injury, aggression and stereotypy. In the non-ASD group, the role of executive functioning and working memory were significant predictors of aggression and stereotypy was significant. Conclusions: Interventions aimed at the reduction of challenging behaviors in adults with ID should consider these variables to adjust to the needs of these individuals, mainly from a preventive perspective.

    Challenging behaviors in adults with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability: a differential analysis from a transdiagnostic approach
    (Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, 2023) Álvarez Couto, María; García Villamisar, Domingo Antonio; Pozo Armentia, Araceli Del
    This study aimed at analyzing the differences in challenging behaviors between adults with intellectual disability and ASD and those who only had intellectual disability, as well as to explore associations between transdiagnostic and clinical variables to these differences. Therapists and educators of 163 adults with intellectual disability (83 with additional ASD diagnosis) completed the test battery. Mean difference analysis and univariate analyses of covariance were performed to determine the impact of clinical variables and transdiagnostic variables on the frequency and severity of challenging behaviors. Results showed that adults with ASD and intellectual disability presented higher frequency and severity of these behaviors. A significant effect of the diagnosis of ASD on the frequency and severity of self-injuries and stereotypies was found. Also, some transdiagnostic variables influencing the presence of these behaviors were highlighted. These factors should be considered when planning and designing interventions for behavioral problems in this population
