Functioning and quality of life in transition-aged youth on the autism spectrum - associations with autism symptom severity and mental health problems / Anna BACKMAN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 104 (June 2023)
[article]
Titre : Functioning and quality of life in transition-aged youth on the autism spectrum - associations with autism symptom severity and mental health problems Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anna BACKMAN, Auteur ; Eric ZANDER, Auteur ; Lise ROLL-PETTERSSON, Auteur ; Sarah VIGERLAND, Auteur ; Tatja HIRVIKOSKI, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102168 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Functioning Co-occurrence Self-report Autism spectrum disorder Transition-age Quality of life Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Previous research notes difficulties in functioning and low quality of life (QoL) among transition-age youth on the autism spectrum, and poor mental health may contribute to these difficulties. This study examined the role of autism symptom severity and mental health problems on self-reported functioning and QoL in treatment-seeking transition-age autistic youth. The study included 140 autistic youth (16-25 years, M = 20.44 (SD = 2.95); n = 91 females [65%], n = 42 males [30%], n = 7 non-binary [5%]). We assessed functioning using a structured interview and QoL through a self-report questionnaire. Factors potentially associated with functioning and QoL were assessed using standardized self-report questionnaires of autism symptom severity, symptoms of anxiety and depression, and information from medical records. Participants reported functioning on the 90th percentile compared to general population norms, indicating significant disability, and also rated low overall QoL. Regression analysis showed that autism symptom severity and anxiety symptoms, and to some extent gender and having an ADHD diagnosis, explained 46% of the variance in overall functioning. Symptoms of anxiety and depression, and to a lesser extent, active friendship, explained 43% of the variance in QoL. Sampling limitations of the study include the overrepresentation of women and newly diagnosed participants. We highlight that functioning and QoL are multifactorial, necessitating a comprehensive assessment of transition-aged autistic youth, including mental health problems, to plan tangible interventions.

Titre : Internet-delivered psychoeducation for older adolescents and young adults with autism spectrum disorder (SCOPE): An open feasibility study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anna BACKMAN, Auteur ; Are MELLBLOM, Auteur ; Elisabet NORMAN-CLAESSON, Auteur ; Gunilla KEITH-BODROS, Auteur ; Maj FROSTVITTRA, Auteur ; Sven BÖLTE, Auteur ; Tatja HIRVIKOSKI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.51-64 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Neurodevelopmental disorders Internet-mediated intervention e-services Young adults Digitally mediated interaction Digital communication Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background There is a paucity regarding interventions in general, and especially internet-delivered treatment options, for adolescents and young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), despite the group´s capacity and willingness to utilize computer-mediated communication. This open feasibility study evaluated the new internet-delivered, psychoeducational intervention, SCOPE (Spectrum COmputerized PsychoEducation), for adolescents and young adults aged 16–25 years with ASD in the normative IQ range. Method The participation in SCOPE was facilitated by weekly contacts with disability service professionals (trained coaches) and the intervention consisted of eight ASD-themed modules. In an open feasibility study we evaluated treatment completion, treatment credibility and satisfaction, as well as preliminary efficacy. We assessed feasibility in an outpatient disability services context, regarding both participants’ and coaches’ experiences. Results Twenty-three out of the 29 included participants (79%) completed the intervention. The participants’ experience of treatment credibility was increased during the SCOPE web course and the overall satisfaction with the treatment was high. The coaches reported high treatment credibility and good clinical feasibility of the internet-based delivered intervention. The participants’ knowledge of ASD increased significantly from pre-intervention to post-intervention. The increased knowledge of ASD was not associated with negative effects on psychological well-being. Conclusions Our results suggest that the internet-delivered psychoeducational intervention SCOPE is a feasible intervention and could contribute to youth’s sense of empowerment through increased knowledge of ASD and themselves. An ongoing randomized controlled study will generate further evidence concerning the SCOPE intervention.

Titre : Mindfulness-based stress reduction for autistic adults: A feasibility study in an outpatient context Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anne-Kristina LUOTO, Auteur ; Anna BACKMAN, Auteur ; Carina ERIKSDOTTER, Auteur ; Nitya JAYARAM-LINDSTRÖM, Auteur ; Sven BÖLTE, Auteur ; Tatja HIRVIKOSKI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.403?414 Mots-clés : adults autism intervention mindfulness stress Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic adults report high stress and impaired ability to cope with stressors. Mindfulness-based stress reduction targets individual?s own resources to regulate stress responses. An open feasibility study was conducted in an outpatient context, recruiting autistic adults without intellectual disability. The intervention, guided by trained mindfulness-based stress reduction teachers, followed the contents of the standard manual while adapting the delivery to autistic adults? needs. The total sample comprised of N?=?50 participants; N?=?43 (86%) attended at least one session, and N?=?34 of these (79%) completed the intervention. Participants found mindfulness-based stress reduction logical, likely to lead to improvement and recommendable to autistic peers. No serious adverse events were reported. Measures of preliminary effectiveness indicated reduced symptoms of stress (p?0.001; d?=?0.51) and improved stress-coping skills (p?=?0.017; d?=?0.43) from pre- to post-intervention, as well as a reduction in symptoms of anxiety and depression. No changes were observed in mindful attention awareness, life satisfaction, or acceptance of the autism diagnosis. The data suggest that mindfulness-based stress reduction is a feasible and acceptable intervention for autistic adults in an outpatient setting. Further investigation in randomized clinical trials is warranted (Clinical Trials, clinicaltrials.gov, registration no. NCT05244265). Lay abstract Autistic adults report high stress levels and difficulties dealing with everyday stressors. Mindfulness-based stress reduction groups aim to help regulate stress responses. We asked 50 autistic adults, without intellectual disability, to participate in a study of mindfulness-based stress reduction. The group program was made accessible through clear group leader communication and good program predictability, as well as reduced exposure to disturbing sensory stimuli. The mindfulness and yoga based exercises from the original mindfulness-based stress reduction program were included. The participants were positive and would even recommend an autistic friend to participate in a mindfulness-based stress reduction group. They reported that mindfulness-based stress reduction could lower symptoms of stress and improved stress coping. We still need to investigate these effects further in larger studies. The findings of this work show that mindfulness-based stress reduction groups can be adapted for autistic adults and that the participants overall were positive to the intervention and the group format.
