Titre : Parent-identified strengths of autistic youth Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Nick WARREN, Auteur ; Bridges EATCHEL, Auteur ; Anne V. KIRBY, Auteur ; Marissa L. DIENER, Auteur ; Cheryl WRIGHT, Auteur ; Valerie D'ASTOUS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.79-89 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescents autism spectrum disorders autistic advantage neurodiversity parents strengths thematic analysis transition Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism is a condition frequently characterized by social and communication challenges. Because most research focuses on understanding and reducing challenges, less is known about the strengths of autistic individuals. This is especially true of those who are transitioning into adulthood. We designed this research study to provide information about how parents perceive the strengths of their autistic adolescent children prior to the transition. We reviewed 39 parent interviews from previous research about how they prepare their autistic sons and daughters for adulthood. Without prompting, parents identified many strengths of their autistic children. Diverse strengths and skills they identified included intelligence, creativity, physical abilities, and self-care skills. These strengths are interesting, as they cover traits that are often thought of as areas of difficulty for autistic youth. However, parents also talked about strengths alongside challenges, and how specific supports would be needed to help their sons and daughters fully realize their strengths. These findings are important, as they help us know more about the strengths of autistic youth and how strengths can be supported when preparing for adulthood. Our findings also help reveal strengths that are particularly apparent during the transition to adulthood.

Titre : Transition preparation activities and expectations for the transition to adulthood among parents of autistic youth Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anne V. KIRBY, Auteur ; Kristina J. Cottle FELDMAN, Auteur ; Jenna M. HOFFMAN, Auteur ; Marissa L. DIENER, Auteur ; Michael B. HIMLE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101640 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Transition Adulthood Parent expectations Family Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Parents of autistic youth are highly involved in the transition preparation process, yet the role and influence of parental factors and perceptions is underexplored. In the current study, we aimed to expand understanding of transition preparation and the role and influence of parental factors for autistic youth including perceptions of the likelihood (i.e., parent expectations), importance, and parental influence over postsecondary outcomes as well as parental self-efficacy, parent stress, and parent concerns for the future. Method We surveyed 269 parents of autistic youth (ages 14–21, 78.2 % male) who did not have co-occurring intellectual disability. We used linear regression analyses to examine youth and parent predictors of the frequency of transition preparation activities, parents’ overall sense of preparation, and parental worry about the future. We also qualitatively analyzed open-ended responses about parent concerns. Results The most frequently endorsed transition preparation activities were discussions about the future and chores. Parental factors were associated with greater frequency of transition preparation activities, greater overall sense of preparation for the transition, and less overall worry. Key areas of parent concern were related to youth independence, social life, employment/finances, autism features, safety, happiness, and health. Conclusions The results of this study have implications for education and interventions focused on supporting autistic youth and their parents for the transition to adulthood. There is a need for transition-related interventions that focus on parents and on particular instruction for raising expectations, enhancing parent self-efficacy, and increasing parental sense of control over outcomes.
