Titre : Consolidating a framework of autistic camouflaging strategies: An integrative systematic review Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Maxine SPEDDING, Auteur ; Susan MALCOLM-SMITH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2379-2394 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum camouflaging framework masking systematic review thematic meta-synthesis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic 'social camouflaging' research is proliferating. However, the term is multi-definitional. Our integrative systematic review (CRD42022324957) pursued a single-framework, qualitative meta-synthesis of camouflaging in autistic adults. We report specifically on different types of camouflaging strategies and the contextual factors that moderate them. A total of 2346 articles were extracted from online databases, 'Connected Papers' and citation searching - reflecting qualitative data from diagnostically confirmed, or self-identifying, autistic individuals. The results of 28 studies were coded and thematically synthesised, and included 2669 men, women and non-binary individuals above the age of 16. We noted six types of strategies and four contextual factors that modulate them. 'Imitation' played a notable role in facilitating further learning and development of camouflaging strategies, thus shifting one from behavioural suppression to sophisticated compensations. The results encourage researchers to place camouflaging data within this (or other) frameworks. Limitations include data reflecting only a subset of the autistic community, skewed towards women and the United Kingdom, raising questions about the impact that gender and UK culture has on our current understanding of camouflaging.Lay abstract Research into autistic 'social camouflaging' is gaining momentum. However, with so many different definitions, the term needs better clarification. We thus reviewed existing articles that discuss camouflaging, in order to bring all of the different understandings of adult autistic camouflaging together into a single framework. This article focuses on findings related to different types of camouflaging strategies, and the types of situations that help or hinder individuals when they use such strategies. After screening 2346 articles (which were listed on online research databases) - we arrived at 28 articles that were included in this study. Data were based on the personal reports of 2669 adults (over the age of 16 years) with confirmed, or self-identified, autism. These reports were in English, qualitative, published papers. We noted six types of camouflaging strategies, and four situational factors that influence them. 'Imitation' was noted as a key means by which strategies develop. The results encourage researchers to build on frameworks such as ours. We also found that much of the sample consisted of women from the United Kingdom, and thus, there is a question of how much influence UK culture has on our current picture of camouflaging.

Titre : Externalizing behavior in preschool children in a South African birth cohort: Predictive pathways in a high-risk context Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Susan MALCOLM-SMITH, Auteur ; Marilyn T. LAKE, Auteur ; Akhona KRWECE, Auteur ; Christopher P. DU PLOOY, Auteur ; Nadia HOFFMAN, Auteur ; Kirsten A. DONALD, Auteur ; Heather J. ZAR, Auteur ; Dan J. STEIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.982-999 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : preschool mental health externalizing behavior LMIC South Africa birth cohort Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Mental health problems often begin in early childhood. However, the associations of various individual and contextual risk factors with mental health in the preschool period are incompletely understood, particularly in low- to middle-income countries (LMICs) where multiple risk factors co-exist. To address this gap, we prospectively followed 981 children in a South African birth cohort, the Drakenstein Child Health Study, assessing pre-and postnatal exposures and risk factors. The predictive value of these factors for child mental health (assessed by the Child Behavior Checklist) was modeled using structural equation modeling. We identified two key pathways to greater externalizing behavior: (1) prenatal exposure to substances (alcohol and smoking) directly predicted increased externalizing behavior (? = 0.24, p < 0.001); this relationship was partially mediated by an aspect of infant temperament (negative emotionality; ? = 0.05, p = 0.016); (2) lower socioeconomic status and associated maternal prenatal depression predicted more coercive parenting, which in turn predicted increased externalizing behavior (? = 0.18, p = 0.001). Findings in this high-risk LMIC cohort cohere with research from higher income contexts, and indicate the need to introduce integrated screening and intervention strategies for maternal prenatal substance use and depression, and promoting positive parenting across the preschool period.

RINGSHAW, Auteur ; Katie HAMILTON, Auteur ; Susan MALCOLM-SMITH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1693-1711 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder/psychology Child Empathy Humans Male Morals Theory of Mind Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Moral decision-making Social impairment Theory of Mind (ToM) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Social impairment in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been linked to Theory of Mind (ToM) deficits. However, little research has investigated the relationship between ToM and moral decision-making in children with ASD. This study compared moral decision-making and ToM between aggregate-matched ASD and neurotypical boys (n=38 per group; aged 6-12). In a third-party resource allocation task manipulating recipient merit, wealth, and health, neurotypical children allocated significantly more resources to the morally deserving recipient, suggesting equitable allocation. A comparatively larger portion of the ASD group allocated equally. ToM emerged as a predictor of moral decision-making. We suggest that ToM (cognitive empathy) deficits may underly atypical moral decision-making in ASD by limiting the integration of empathic arousal (affective empathy) with moral information.

Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Michelle HOOGENHOUT, Auteur ; Susan MALCOLM-SMITH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.597-607 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Theory of mind Development Autism spectrum disorder Asperger's syndrome Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified DSM Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : It is unclear how theory of mind (ToM; understanding mental states and their influence on behaviour) develops in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). At least two possibilities exist: development is delayed or developmental patterns deviate from normal. We used a cross-sectional design to examine ToM skills in 4–16 year-old children. First, participants were classified in terms of the DSM-IV categories low-functioning autism (n = 21), high-functioning autism (n = 24), Asperger's syndrome (n = 21), and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS; n = 20). The high-functioning autism, Asperger's syndrome and PDD-NOS groups displayed delayed ToM onset compared to a typically developing group (n = 30), but normal ToM developmental rates and sequences; supporting delayed development. ToM in low-functioning ASD fit the deviant development model: Age did not predict ToM. A second ToM model using DSM-5 ASD and verbal IQ supported ToM development differences: Greater verbal ability was associated with increased ToM in ASD but not in typical development. As a single explanation for ToM development in ASD is insufficient, it is imperative to report specifiers such as intellectual functioning when using DSM-5 classification. DSM-IV classification contributed little to the prediction of ToM development beyond the influence of intellectual functioning.
