Experiences of diagnosing autism spectrum disorder: A survey of professionals in the United Kingdom / Claire L ROGERS in Autism, 20-7 (October 2016)
[article]
Titre : Experiences of diagnosing autism spectrum disorder: A survey of professionals in the United Kingdom Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Claire L ROGERS, Auteur ; Lorna GODDARD, Auteur ; Elisabeth L HILL, Auteur ; Lucy A HENRY, Auteur ; Laura CRANE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.820-831 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders diagnosis health services professional development Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : To date, research exploring experiences of diagnosing autism spectrum disorder has largely focused on parental perspectives. In order to obtain a more complete account of the autism spectrum disorder diagnostic process, it is essential that the views and experiences of professionals are heard. In this study, 116 multidisciplinary professionals involved in diagnosing autism spectrum disorder in the United Kingdom completed an online questionnaire exploring their experiences and opinions of three key areas of service: accessibility, the diagnostic process and post-diagnostic support. Although professionals were largely satisfied with service accessibility, around 40% of services were failing to provide timely assessments. Standardised diagnostic tools were perceived as helpful and were used consistently, but concerns were raised about their validity in detecting atypical autism spectrum disorder presentations (e.g. females). Several challenges regarding giving autism spectrum disorder diagnoses were reported; these included making sure caregivers understood the diagnosis, pitching information at the correct level and managing distress. Furthermore, the practice of ‘upgrading’ to a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder in uncertain or complex cases was reported by many, albeit infrequently, and reasons for this varied widely. Professionals expressed dissatisfaction with post-diagnostic provision, especially onward and long-term support options. They also felt that service improvements were required across populations and across the three key areas of service.

Titre : Supporting Newly Identified or Diagnosed Autistic Adults: An Initial Evaluation of an Autistic-Led Programme Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Laura CRANE, Auteur ; Caroline HEARST, Auteur ; Maria ASHWORTH, Auteur ; Jade DAVIES, Auteur ; Elisabeth L HILL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.892-905 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adults Autism Autistic-led Diagnosis Peer support Post-diagnostic support Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Sixteen adults (diagnosed or self-identified as autistic) participated in one of two iterations of a ten-week autistic-led programme, aimed at helping autistic adults learn more about autism within a peer group context. Motivations for taking part in the programme included a desire for: (1) exploration of autism; (2) empowerment; and (3) the development of practical strategies and coping mechanisms. Interviews were conducted upon completion of the programme and again 6 months later. Using thematic analysis, three themes were identified: (1) appreciation of the autistic-led nature of the programme; (2) unity in diversity; and (3) developing a positive, practical outlook on autism. These promising initial results highlight the value of autistic-led peer support for those recently diagnosed/identified as autistic.
