“…The term has also been used for a few years in papers on mental illness in patients with considerably decreased verbal skills, mainly patients with ASD and/ or ID (Baudewijns et al 2018, Painter et al 2018. Observable symptoms, especially problem behaviour, have been associated with mental illness in patients with ASD and/or ID (Hausman et al 2020, Painter et al 2018. For example, in a paper from the1980s, aggression was regarded as a symptom of psychosis in ID (Lund 1985).…”

Assessment of schizophrenia (SCZ) in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is complicated due to confounding symptoms between ASD and SCZ. These confounding factors are aggravated when the patient has sparse verbal skills. A selective review was conducted to identify behavioural equivalents when assessing SCZ in individuals with ASD with sparse verbal skills, from 16 years of age. Only clinical papers were reviewed. Eight relevant articles were analysed for the use of behavioural equivalents in clinical settings. The results showed that especially disorganized speech and behaviour and negative symptoms can be observed in patients with SCZ and ASD who speak sparsely. It is not possible to observe delusions, but they may be reported by the patients when treated adequately for some time, usually months. Hallucinations cannot be observed directly, but 'hallucinatory behaviour' may be interpreted as hallucinations when observed concurrently with other SCZ symptoms. Additionally, age of onset and marked impaired global functioning compared to habitual functioning may constitute a diagnosis of SCZ in ASD. ASD is considered a lifelong condition and may be identified within the first 3-4 years, while SCZ onset is usually in adolescence or early adulthood.

“…This model of functional analysis has been replicated in several hundred studies (Beavers et al, 2013; Hanley et al, 2003). It has been used in assessing the operant function of other topographies of problem behavior besides self‐injury (e.g., aggression, property destruction, inappropriate vocalizations, elopement, food refusal, and stereotypy; e.g., Bachmeyer et al, 2019; Boyle & Adamson, 2017; Fisher et al, 2013; Hausman et al, 2020; Saini et al, 2019; Shawler et al, 2020; Wunderlich et al, 2020). It has also been used to illustrate the flexibility of test conditions for other unique sources of social positive reinforcement (e.g., access to leisure items and food) and social negative reinforcement (e.g., the termination of social interactions, medical routines, and loud noises; Harper et al, 2013; Iwata, Pace et al, 1990; McCord et al, 2001; Schlichenmeyer et al, 2013; Tiger et al, 2009).…”

On the validity of data produced by isolated and synthesized contingencies during the functional analysis of problem behavior

Functional analyses are intended to identify the reinforcers maintaining problem behavior in order to inform clinicians' selection of interventions. Traditionally, these analyses have exposed problem behavior to multiple, isolated reinforcement contingencies and in doing so, have ruled in and ruled out potential sources of reinforcement. Recently, some functional analysis models have forgone testing individual reinforcement contingencies and instead exposed problem behavior to 2 or more reinforcers simultaneously in a single, synthesized reinforcement contingency. The current review applies assessment analytics to these approaches to consider their relative sensitivity, specificity, discriminant validity, and predictive validity to yield practice recommendations and to nominate areas of future research.
