Autistic Traits and Sensitivity to Interference With Flavour Identification / Andrea Irene CLARK in Autism Research, 6-5 (October 2013)
[article]
Titre : Autistic Traits and Sensitivity to Interference With Flavour Identification Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Andrea Irene CLARK, Auteur ; Paul Shane HUGHES, Auteur ; Manon GRUBE, Auteur ; Mary Elizabeth STEWART, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.332-336 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder autistic traits personality multisensory perception flavour perception Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We assessed whether autistic traits are related to the ability to identify flavour. In general, the colour of the food or drink facilitates identification of its flavour. In the current study, the colour of drinks either provided congruent, incongruent or ambiguous (colourless) information about the flavour. Participants identified the flavours of 12 drinks from a list and completed a measure of autistic traits, the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ). In line with previous studies, flavour identification was impaired in incongruent conditions, while identification in congruent conditions was not improved when compared with that in ambiguous conditions. AQ scores were related to flavour identification in incongruent conditions, in that as the AQ score increased, accuracy of flavour identification decreased. There were no relationships found in the congruent or ambiguous conditions. This finding is in line with the idea that conflicting sensory information may be more disruptive for individuals on the autism spectrum.

[article]
Titre : Social self-efficacy and mental well-being in autistic adults: Exploring the role of social identity Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lorna CAMUS, Auteur ; Gnanathusharan RAJENDRAN, Auteur ; Mary Elizabeth STEWART, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1258-1267 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults autism double empathy homophily mental well-being social identity social self-efficacy Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The double empathy problem proposes a lack of shared understanding between autistic and non-autistic people leads to interaction difficulties between them. Social self-efficacy (confidence in one?s social abilities) makes an important contribution to social interactions. Research has shown that autistic people show a social identity (one?s sense of self based on membership of social groups) with other autistic people, and this impacts positively on well-being. In addition, research shows that autistic people have a number of social identities. This study aims to understand whether social self-efficacy relates to mental well-being in autistic adults, and whether social identity plays a role in this relationship. A total of 512 autistic adults completed measures of social self-efficacy, social identity, mental well-being and autistic traits. In-group social self-efficacy was found to be higher than out-group social self-efficacy. Second, in-group social self-efficacy was positively associated with well-being. Finally, social identity did not mediate the relationships between social self-efficacy and mental well-being. These findings suggest social self-efficacy may relate to the nature of the group one interacts with. The findings support further research into the relationship between social self-efficacy and well-being, as well as using the double empathy problem as a framework for further investigations in other social groups. Lay abstract In the past, research has suggested that autistic people are not able to communicate well with non-autistic people because of autistic people?s communication difficulties. However, newer theories question this conclusion. It is now thought that the communication difficulties may be because autistic and non-autistic people both struggle to understand each other. This study explores how these differences in shared understanding relate to autistic people?s mental well-being, confidence in social situations and social identities (groups that we belong to and that influence how we see ourselves). We created an online survey taken by 512 autistic adults, which included questions about their confidence being social with people from different groups (such as other autistic people or people they share a hobby with), about the social groups they felt they belong to and about their mental well-being. First, participants reported higher social confidence when interacting with members of a social group they belonged to. Second, being confident during these interactions was linked to higher mental well-being. Finally, the groups participants belonged to did not influence the link between social confidence and mental well-being. These findings are important as they help us better understand autistic people?s experiences of social interactions and what contributes to good and poor mental well-being in autistic people. They also help us to think further about how to improve autistic people?s well-being.
