Brief Report: Asexuality and Young Women on the Autism Spectrum / Hillary H. BUSH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 51-2 (February 2021)
[article]
Titre : Brief Report: Asexuality and Young Women on the Autism Spectrum Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Hillary H. BUSH, Auteur ; Lindsey W. WILLIAMS, Auteur ; Eva MENDES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.725-733 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asexuality Autism spectrum disorder Human sexuality Internalizing symptoms Women Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Existing research suggests that people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are more likely than those without ASD to self-identify as asexual, or as being on the asexual spectrum. This study contributes to the literature by exploring aspects of sexuality and well-being in a large, community-based sample of young women (18-30 years old) with ASD (N?=?247) and comparing the experiences of those with asexual spectrum identities and those with other sexual orientations (e.g., gay, bisexual, heterosexual). In the present sample, asexual participants reported less sexual desire and fewer sexual behaviors than those with other sexual orientations, but greater sexual satisfaction. Being on the asexual spectrum also was associated with lower generalized anxiety symptoms. Clinical and research implications are discussed.

Titre : Supporting university students with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ashleigh HILLIER, Auteur ; Jody GOLDSTEIN, Auteur ; Deirdra MURPHY, Auteur ; Rhoda TRIETSCH, Auteur ; Jacqueline KEEVES, Auteur ; Eva MENDES, Auteur ; Alexa QUEENAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.20-28 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults,autism spectrum disorders,education services,interventions—psychosocial/behavioral,qualitative research Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Increasing numbers of students with autism spectrum disorder are entering higher education. Their success can be jeopardized by organizational, social/emotional, and academic challenges if appropriate supports are not in place. Our objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of a support group model for university students with autism spectrum disorder in improving psychological and functional outcomes. A curriculum guided the weekly discussions and consisted of topics such as time and stress management, managing group work, and social communication. Efficacy was assessed through pre- and post self-report measures focused on self-esteem, loneliness, anxiety, and depression. Functional changes in academic and social skills were examined through qualitative analysis of focus groups. Findings from the self-report measures indicated significant reductions in feelings of loneliness and general anxiety, and a significant increase in self-esteem at the end of the program compared to the beginning. Five prominent themes were identified in the focus-group analysis and reflected how the program had positively impacted participants’ skills and coping: executive functioning; goal setting; academics and resources; stress and anxiety; and social. Given the cost effectiveness of “in-house” interventions and the potential for improving academic outcomes and retention of students with autism spectrum disorder, further research examining similar program models is warranted.
