Titre : Similar overall expression, but different profiles, of autistic traits, sensory processing, and mental health between young adult males and females Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Miranda MCQUARRIE, Auteur ; Savanah CALTON, Auteur ; Terisa P. GABRIELSEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102263 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Autistic traits Sensory processing Camouflaging Intolerance of uncertainty Anxiety Female Dimensional Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Recent trends suggest that autism is more common in females than traditionally held. Additionally, some argue that females express autistic traits differently than males. Dimensional views of autism could shed light on these issues, especially with regards to understudied behavioral areas, such as sensory processing. We examined autistic traits, sensory processing, anxiety, and related behaviors in a large sample of neurotypical young adult males and females (n = 1122; 556 female; ages 19-26). Participants completed an online survey containing questionnaires related to the above. Between groups statistical analyses, as well as within groups correlations and mediation analyses containing these constructs were then computed. We also carried out a cluster analysis to establish groups with behavioral similarities and estimate within-cluster male/female ratios. Results showed modest differences in the overall expression of autistic traits and sensory processing, if any, between males and females. Conversely, more detailed examination of survey subtests and mediation analyses revealed differing profiles between these groups. Cluster analysis uncovered a group comprised of both males (69.8%) and females (30.2%) who exhibited elevated degrees of autism-related behaviors, suggesting a higher proportion of females than would be predicted by traditional ratios. Taken together, these findings suggest that males and females may not differ as much as previously thought in their general levels of autistic traits or sensory processing, but may present with distinct profiles of such behaviors. These novel results add to our understanding of autistic traits in females and have the potential to positively influence diagnostic and support practices.
