CASE Alex is a 14-year-old Portuguese-American boy with a psychiatric history starting at age 5 who presents to your primary care practice after an insurance change.He was delivered prematurely at 32 weeks and diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism at the age of 6 weeks and growth hormone deficiency at the age of 2 years; he is in active treatment for both. He otherwise met developmental milestones on time yet continues to have significant fatigue despite adequate sleep and vitamin D supplementation.His family history is remarkable for maternal anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and previous attempted suicide, as well as anxiety, alcoholism, depression, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the extended family.Alex has had multiple psychiatric diagnoses by sequential providers. He was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and ADHD by 5 years of age, major depressive disorder by 11 years of age, persistent depressive disorder by 12 years of age, and ultimately disruptive mood dysregulation disorder because of severe and persistent temper outbursts associated with negative mood and behavioral dysregulation, leading to recurrent crisis evaluations. He has been psychiatrically hospitalized twice, in the fifth and seventh grade, for suicidal ideation (SI) and elopement from home, respectively. He recently completed a 2-week acute residential placement, during which no medication changes were made. Current medications include escitalopram 20 mg daily, guanfacine 1 mg 3 times daily, sustained release bupropion 100 mg twice daily, levothyroxine, vitamin D, and a weekly somatropin injection. He has not been able to tolerate psychostimulants or nonstimulant agents because of treatment-emergent SI.Now in the ninth grade, he continues to be easily distracted by peers, with impulsive behaviors and reduced self-regulation. Despite receiving special education services since the fifth grade, his academic performance has been poor, and he has limited motivation. Previous testing indicated average in an intelligence quotient test, with relative deficits in working memory compared with above average strength in fluid reasoning. He dislikes school and has few friends. He has always been noted to be "immature." He displays temper tantrums at home and school around transitions and behavioral expectations and has complained of feeling "different" and misunderstood by peers in addition to having difficulty reading social cues. His interests include acting and playing Fortnite and other video/computer games. His screen time is limited to 1 to 2 hr/d by the family.As the new clinician, you raise the possibility of undiagnosed autism spectrum disorder as a unifying/underlying diagnosis with his mother, who disagrees and does not consent to additional workup despite your recommendations. How would you proceed with next steps to best support your patient and his family in obtaining further clarifying evaluation?

OBJECTIVE Motor vehicle collisions are the leading cause of death among teenagers, accounting for approximately 1 in 3 deaths for this age group. A number of factors increase crash risk for teen drivers, including vulnerability to distraction, poor judgment, propensity to engage in risky driving behaviors, and inexperience. These factors may be of particular concern and exacerbated among teens learning to drive with attention deficits. To our knowledge, our study is among the first to systematically investigate the experiences of novice adolescent drivers with attention deficits during the learner period of a Graduated Drivers Licensing program. METHOD Survey and on-road driving assessment (ODA) data were used to examine parent and teen confidence in the teens' driving ability, driving practice frequency, diversity of driving practice environments, and driving errors among teens with attention deficits as defined by attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis or parent-reported trouble staying focused (TSF). RESULTS When teens' driving skill was evaluated at the conclusion of the learner period, teens with ADHD exhibited more driving errors than their typically developing (TD) counterparts (p = 0.034). Teens with TSF were more likely to have their ODA terminated (p = 0.019), had marginally lower overall driving scores (p = 0.098), and exhibited more critical driving errors (p = 0.01) compared with TD teens. CONCLUSION These findings may have implications on the learning-to-drive period for adolescents with attention deficits. Adjustments may need to be made to the learner period for teens with attention deficits to account for attention impairments and to better instill safe driving behavior.

CASE Kyle is a 10-year-old boy with Down syndrome and intellectual disability who is being followed up by a developmental behavioral pediatrician for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and anxiety. Kyle was initially taking a long-acting liquid formulation of methylphenidate for ADHD and fluoxetine for anxiety. Several months ago, the liquid formulation was on back order, and the methylphenidate formulation was changed to an equal dose of a long-acting capsule. Kyle is not able to swallow pills; therefore, the contents of the capsule were sprinkled onto 1 bite of yogurt each morning. Over the course of the next month, Kyle's behaviors became increasingly difficult. He was not able to tolerate loud or crowded places, and despite a visual schedule and warnings, he would become aggressive toward adults when directed to transition away from preferred activities. Fluoxetine was increased from 0.4 to 0.6 mg/kg/day at that time.One month later, his parents reported that although there may have been slight improvement in Kyle's irritability since the increase in fluoxetine, they felt he was nonetheless more aggressive and less cooperative than his previous baseline. Kyle was returned to the long-acting liquid formulation of methylphenidate at that time, and a follow-up was scheduled 2 weeks later.On return to clinic, his parents reported that Kyle's behaviors had continued to become increasingly difficult. He was described as uncooperative and aggressive at home and school. Kyle was easily upset any time he was not given his way, his behavior was corrected, or he felt that he was not the center of attention. When upset, he would yell, bite, kick, spit, or throw his body to the ground and refuse to move. At 110 pounds, Kyle's parents were no longer able to physically move his body when he dropped to the ground. This was a safety concern for his parents because he had displayed this behavior in the parking lot of a busy shopping area. Because of Kyle's aggressive and unpredictable behavior, parents no longer felt comfortable taking him to public places. Family members who had previously been comfortable staying with Kyle while his parents were out for short periods would no longer stay with him. Overall, the behaviors resulted in parents being unable to go to dinner as a couple or provide individual attention to their other children. The parents described the family as "on edge." How would you approach Kyle's management?

Irene Malaty, MD,* Diana Shineman, PhD,† Michael Himle, PhD‡ It was with great interest that we read the study by Wolicki et al., “Children with Tourette Syndrome in the United States: Parent-Reported Diagnosis, Co-Occurring Disorders, Severity, and Influence of Activities on Tics.” The Tourette Association of America (TAA) recently embarked upon a similar project, the 2018 TAA Impact Survey, which involved an online survey of their constituents. Similar to the study of Wolicki, the purpose of the TAA Impact Survey was to better understand the diagnostic and treatment experiences of individuals living with Tourette Syndrome (TS) and other tic disorders (TDs) as well as to understand the broad impact of tics on health and functioning. Despite key methodological and sample differences, the TAA Impact Survey corroborates a number of findings in the study of Wolicki and when examined in conjunction, provides for the complimentary and comprehensive characterization of the longitudinal impact of TS across the life span. One key methodological difference between the studies was how participants were recruited. Although the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) used cold calls to identify households where currently residing children had been diagnosed with TS, the TAA created a webbased survey disseminated to its constituents through the TAA website, email lists, and social media, as well as through the TAA Centers of Excellence program. Both methods allowed for geographic diversity, but the webbased technique allowed for acquisition of a large number of respondents (N 5 944, including 281 adults with TS/TD and 623 parents of children with TS/TD). The cold call method may have offered the advantage of less bias toward individuals associated with a TS society or comfortable with internet-based communication, whereas there may be other bias toward willing participants in phone surveys. Furthermore, the TAA Impact Survey expands upon the CDC survey by including both children with TS/TD, for whom parents completed the survey, and additionally adults with TS/TD, who selfreported about their experiences. Importantly, although the CDC survey asks only about the diagnosis of TS, the TAA Impact Survey included the broader range of TD diagnoses in addition to TS. Despite their methodological differences, the 2 studies found some consistent noteworthy findings. Encouragingly, both studies suggest that diagnosis is being made earlier. Among adults in our study, the modal time between tic onset and diagnosis was 61 years (reported by 53% of the sample), with only 32.4% being diagnosed within 2 years of tic onset. By contrast, the modal time between symptom onset and diagnosis for children was ,2 years (reported by 70.9% of the sample), which is consistent with the study of Wolicki, who reported an average time to diagnosis of 1.7 years.

Ellen C. Perrin, MD This article provides encouraging data regarding routine systematic developmental screening in busy pediatric primary care practices. First, it demonstrates excellent use of quality improvement principles and methods to study the implementation of an innovative system for routine screening. Second, it shows that routine screening for emotional/behavioral symptoms and social determinants of health can be performed indeed complement each other. Third, it highlights some areas that will benefit from further innovation and research. The instruments used for emotional/behavioral symptom screening were the Pediatric Symptom Checklist for children 6 to 10 years old, the Preschool Pediatric Symptom Checklist for children 18 months to 5 years old, and the Baby Pediatric Symptom Checklist for infants (the latter 2 are components of the Survey of Wellbeing of Young Children, or SWYC: www.theswyc.org). Questions about social determinants of health and about the parent’s concerns are also components of the SWYC. Although the SWYC also includes components assessing the development of cognitive, language, and motor tasks, this realm was not included in the study.

Autism, Communication English MS, Tenenbaum EJ, Levine TP, et al. Perception of cry characteristics in 1-month-old infants later diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. J Autism Dev Disord. 2019;49:834–844. Evidence suggests that the preverbal vocalizations of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) differ from children without ASD, but the extent to which parents of children with and without ASD perceive these differences is unknown. This study recruited mothers of children with ASD (n 5 22) or typically developing controls (TD; n 5 20) to rate their perceptions of the cries of 1-month-old infants, some of whom would later be diagnosed with ASD. Audio recordings of cries were standardized 15-second samples obtained from a previous study and matched on developmental level and prenatal exposures. Mothers of children with ASD and TD children both rated the cries of children later diagnosed with ASD to be more distressing [F(1, 36) 5 45.62, p , 0.01], atypical [F(1, 37) 5 18.57, p , 0.01], and more reflective of pain [F(1, 39) 5 32.20, p , 0.01]. Parents of children with ASD had higher scores on a measure of broader autism phenotype (BAP) [t(40) 5 22.16, p 5 0.04], but BAP scores were not significantly correlated with parent perceptions of infant cries. While based on a small sample size, these results support the hypothesis that biomarkers associated with later ASD diagnosis are present in early infancy; moreover, the results do not support that exposure to a child with ASD or elevated BAP is associated with atypical perception of infant cries. Studies with more parent raters, more samples of infant cries, and acoustic analyses to characterize differences in infant cries in ASD are needed. C.B.N.

There is limited neuroimaging research on peer victimization (PV). The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between chronic PV and regional brain volumes. Participants (n 5 682, 46% male) were from the IMAGEN project, a multisite, longitudinal study of adolescent brain development and mental health. At 14, 16, and 19 years of age, PV was assessed using a questionnaire, and a brain MRI was performed. At the age of 19 years, psychopathology symptoms were assessed using the computer-administered Developmental and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA) and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Results showed the following PV scores (mean [SD, range]) at 14, 16, and 19 years of age, respectively: (4.0 [1.6, 3–13]); (3.5 [1.2, 3–13]); and (3.3 [1.0, 3–15]), respectively. In the latent profile analysis, there were 2 groups identified with no significant difference in sex: chronically high PV (high peer victimization [HPV], n 5 36, 38% male) and low PV (low peer victimization [LPV], n 5 646, 46% male). Compared with the LPV group, the HPV group had higher SDQ scores (emotional symptoms: U 5 7829.0, r 5 20.13, p 5 0.001; hyperactivity: U 5 8223.0, r 5 20.11, p 5 0.003) and higher DAWBA scores (depression: U 5 6557.0, r 5 20.13, p 5 0.001; generalized anxiety: U 5 9101.5, r 5 20.10, p 5 0.006). Further analysis showed that HPV participants had larger left putamen volume at 14 years (t522.966, p5 0.003, d 5 0.49) but not at 19 years (t 5 21.834, p 5 0.067, d 5 0.30), suggesting greater decreases in putamen volume over time compared with LPV, even after controlling for confounders such as sex and childhood trauma. There was also a negative relationship between generalized anxiety and change in putamen volume (t 5 22.31, p 5 0.021). In the indirect effects analysis, PV was indirectly associated with generalized anxiety by decreases in putamen volume (b 5 0.439, 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.004–0.109) and decreases in caudate volume (b 5 0.036, [95% CI], 0.002–0.099). The authors concluded that adolescent mental health is related to PV mediated by structural brain changes. These have implications for early intervention among HPV adolescents to prevent PVassociated pathological brain changes. J.H.S.

ADOLESCENT COGNITION AND SUBSTANCE USE Morin JG, Afzali MH, Bourque J, Stewart SH, Séguin JR, O’Leary-Barrett M, and Conrod PJ. A population-based analysis of the relationship between substance use and adolescent cognitive development. AJP. Published online October 2018. Studies have shown a relationship between alcohol and cannabis misuse and cognitive functioning, but the results are mixed. The authors aimed at determining the relationship between adolescent cognition and substance use over time. Data from the Co-Venture study (a longitudinal study on the efficacy of a drug and alcohol prevention program) were used. In September 2012 or 2013, participating 7th graders in the Montreal area [n 5 3826; 53% male; mean (SD) age 5 12.7 y (0.5); 58% European] completed an annual web-based testing for 4 years to assess cognition (spatial working memory, delayed recall memory, perceptual reasoning, and inhibitory control) and substance use (Detection of Alcohol and Drug Problems in Adolescents questionnaire). Cannabis use at least 33/week was observed in 0.69%, 0.91%, 2.47%, and 3.81% of participants during 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th grade, respectively, whereas alcohol use at least 33/week was observed in 0.31%, 0.34%, 0.36%, and 0.90% of participants during 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th grade, respectively. After controlling for covariates (socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and family intactness), results showed that cannabis use was associated with poorer working memory (b 5 0.51, SE 5 0.25, p 5 0.04), perceptual reasoning (b 5 20.25, SE 5 0.08, p 5 0.001), and inhibition (b 5 1.19, SE 5 0.48, p , 0.01) during the same period. Further impairment in inhibition a year later was predicted by increases in cannabis use (b5 1.05, SE 5 0.41, p 5 0.01). Alcohol use was associated with lower spatial working memory (b 5 0.09, SE 5 0.05, p , 0.05), lower perceptual reasoning scores (b 5 20.06, SE 5 0.02, p , 0.01), and poorer inhibition (b 5 0.27, SE 5 0.09, p , 0.01) during the same period. Lagged effects were not observed for alcohol. The authors concluded that cannabis use is associated with more significant concurrent and lasting effects than alcohol use in adolescent cognitive functions. The results have implications on making policies that protect youths from substance use. J.H.S.
