Abstract

Although social competence deficits in children with high-functioning autistic spectrum disorders (HFASD) are well documented, there is little research investigating self-perceptions of social limitations. This study replicated research showing a negative association between self-perceived social competence and intellectual ability and investigated associations between self-perceived social competence and depressive symptomatology. Participants were 22 children with HFASD, aged 7–13 years with intelligence quotient (IQ) scores of 82–141. Parent- (N = 18) and teacher- (N = 17) rated social competence was lower for children with HFASD compared with a normative sample. Higher age and IQ predicted lower levels of self-perceived social competence, and low self-perceived social competence predicted higher levels of depressive symptomatology. Almost a third of children rated themselves for depression; parent ratings suggested even higher levels.

Comparisons between these studies must be treated with caution. First, data from later studies were obtained using more systematic and objective methodology, and larger sample sizes. Second, variability in participant selection, sample characteristics, and assessment procedures makes comparisons difficult.

The sample gender ratio of boys:girls compares with general prevalence ratios of 5:1 for ASD (see Lord & Schopler, 1985; Rutter, 1996; Wing, 1981b). As girls with an ASD tend to be more severely intellectually impaired than boys, the ratio of boys to girls is expected to be even higher among high-functioning individuals (Tsai & Beisler, 1983; Volkmar, Szatmari, & Sparrow, 1993; Wing, 1981b).

Self-perceived social competence was based on the PCSC (Harter, 1982) for Capps et al., (1995) results, and on the SPPC (Harter, 1985) for the present results. Furthermore, Capps et al. (1995) used the socialisation skills domain of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS; Sparrow, Balla, & Cicchetti, 1984) to measure the child’s social competence, whereas this study used the SSRS Parent-version (Gresham & Elliot, 1990).

Capps et al. (1995) found that IQ and parental reports of child’s social competence were significantly positively correlated (r = 0.72, p < 0.001), whereas this correlation was not significant in this study (r = 0.24, p > 0.05).

Similar significant associations were found between child’s self-perceived social competence and IQ in the Capps et al. (1995) study was r = 0.51, p < 0.05, N = 18) and the present study (r = 0.52, p < 0.05, N = 22).

Notably, however, the ratio of females to males in our sample was representative of general prevalence ratios of 5:1 for ASD (Lord & Schopler, 1985; Wing, 1981b).
