Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder Show a Circumspect Reasoning Bias Rather than ‘Jumping-to-Conclusions’ / Mark BROSNAN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-3 (March 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 44-3 (March 2014) . - p.513-520 Titre : Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder Show a Circumspect Reasoning Bias Rather than ‘Jumping-to-Conclusions’ Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mark BROSNAN, Auteur ; Emma CHAPMAN, Auteur ; Chris ASHWIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.513-520 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Jumping-to-conclusions  Reasoning bias  Decision-making Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : People with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) often take longer to make decisions. The Autism-Psychosis Model proposes that people with autism and psychosis show the opposite pattern of results on cognitive tasks. As those with psychosis show a jump-to-conclusions reasoning bias, those with ASD should show a circumspect reasoning bias. Jumping-to-conclusions was assessed in a sample of 20 adolescents with ASD and 23 age-matched controls using the jumping-to-conclusions beads task. Both groups demonstrated equivalent levels of confidence in decision-making, however the ASD group required more beads than controls before making their decision. Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between the beads required and degree of autism symptoms. Consistent with the Autism-Psychosis Model, a more circumspect reasoning bias was evident in ASD.

Atypical integration of social cues for orienting to gaze direction in adults with autism / Chris ASHWIN in Molecular Autism, (January 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inMolecular Autism > (January 2015) . - p.1-10 Titre : Atypical integration of social cues for orienting to gaze direction in adults with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Chris ASHWIN, Auteur ; Jari K. HIETANEN, Auteur ; Simon BARON-COHEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1-10 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Gaze direction provides important information about social attention, and people tend to reflexively orient in the direction others are gazing. Perceiving the gaze of others relies on the integration of multiple social cues, which include perceptual information related to the eyes, gaze direction, head position, and body orientation of others. Autism spectrum conditions (ASC) are characterised by social and emotional deficits, including atypical gaze behaviour. The social-emotional deficits may emerge from a reliance on perceptual information involving details and features, at the expense of more holistic processing, which includes the integration of features. While people with ASC are often able to physically compute gaze direction and show intact reflexive orienting to others’ gaze, they show deficits in reading mental states from the eyes.

Autism and the transition to university from the student perspective / S. LAMBE in Autism, 23-6 (August 2019)

Despite a high proportion of autistic individuals aspiring to attend university, many either do not seek or gain entry or drop out prematurely. Although some steps have been taken to develop effective support, a recent review highlighted the scarcity of research into programmes designed to support autistic students transitioning to university. In addition, few studies have examined the views of autistic students themselves. This study investigated the perspectives of autistic students transitioning to university. Three focus groups were conducted with 25 autistic students preparing to start university. Participants were asked about their hopes for starting university, as well as their worries and concerns. Data were analysed using thematic analysis, from which five main themes were identified: The Social World, Academic Demands, Practicalities of University Living, Leaving the Scaffolding of Home and Transition to Adulthood. The results provide an important account of the challenges autistic students face when transitioning to university, as well as their aspirations. These findings have a number of practical implications.

Autonomic dysfunction in autism: The roles of anxiety, depression, and stress / Emily C. TAYLOR in Autism, 25-3 (April 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 25-3 (April 2021) . - p.744-752 Titre : Autonomic dysfunction in autism: The roles of anxiety, depression, and stress Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Emily C. TAYLOR, Auteur ; Lucy A. LIVINGSTON, Auteur ; Mitchell J. CALLAN, Auteur ; Chris ASHWIN, Auteur ; Punit SHAH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.744-752 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : anxiety  autism spectrum disorder  autonomic nervous system  heart rate variability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is responsible for the functioning of the heart, bladder, pupils and several other bodily functions. Therefore, when the ANS functions abnormally, individuals can experience a number of physical symptoms, including dizziness, abnormal sweating and digestive difficulties. Currently, it is unclear if autistic adults experience ANS dysfunction. Therefore, in this study, we investigated whether autistic adults report more ANS-related physical symptoms, indicating greater ANS dysfunction, and whether this may be related to autism, or rather anxiety, depression, or stress. The findings suggest that ANS dysfunction, where found in autism, is due to co-occurring stress and anxiety. We therefore propose that treating stress and anxiety may be an effective way to ameliorate ANS-related health problems in autistic adults.

Barriers and facilitators towards an autism diagnosis for females within healthcare: A thematic analysis of interviews with UK healthcare professionals / Chris ASHWIN in Research in Autism, 121-122 (March-April 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 121-122 (March-April 2025) . - 202547 Titre : Barriers and facilitators towards an autism diagnosis for females within healthcare: A thematic analysis of interviews with UK healthcare professionals Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Chris ASHWIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202547 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Females  Healthcare  Barriers  Facilitators  Diagnosis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There has been growing recognition that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presents differently in females than in males, and our current understanding of autism is male-centric. This may produce barriers towards appropriate recognition of autistic characteristics in key social areas, such as healthcare, which could affect referral for assessments and accurate autism diagnosis for females. While there are many studies reporting about patient perspectives on the autism diagnostic process, there is a dearth of research investigating the perspectives of healthcare professionals about the female presentation of autism. The present study aimed to explore the perspectives of NHS healthcare professionals (HCPs) on the recognition, referral, and diagnosis of autism in female patients across the lifespan. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eleven NHS HCPs and a reflexive thematic analysis was carried out to identify the key themes. The results revealed themes about gender biases and diagnostic overshadowing as important general barriers towards autism recognition and diagnosis for females within the NHS healthcare system. Themes involving systemic barriers were also identified as limiting the recognition of female autistic presentation, which included issues about time constraints and a lack of training. Several facilitators towards better diagnosis of autism in females were identified, which emphasised changes to current practice and diagnostic criteria to better account for the heterogeneity of female autism, and a more integrated approach to referrals with the education sector. Together, these findings have implications for healthcare service development and implementation for the classification of autism, suggesting targeted training and diagnostic adaptions to improve the experience and accuracy of the pathway of females for a diagnosis of autism.
