Titre : Acceptability and feasibility of a parent-mediated social-communication therapy for young autistic children in Brazil: A qualitative implementation study of Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lorna MCWILLIAMS, Auteur ; Leticia RODRIGUES DA SILVEIRA, Auteur ; Mirian DE CESARO REVERS BIASÃO, Auteur ; Fernanda SPEGGIORIN PEREIRA ALARCÃO, Auteur ; Leonardo SEDA, Auteur ; Renata GENEROSO CAMPOLI, Auteur ; Holan LIANG, Auteur ; Gauri DIVAN, Auteur ; Kathy LEADBITTER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.123?137 Mots-clés : autism Brazil implementation study Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy qualitative study Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Effective support for autistic individuals is lacking in Brazil. Few centres offer services and those that do are limited in therapeutic options and geographical location. Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy is a low-intensity, evidence-based parent-mediated social-communication intervention that may be useful for this scenario. This implementation study aimed to assess the acceptability and feasibility of Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy for young autistic children (aged 2?10?years) in Brazil. Parents (n?=?18) of 2- to 10-year-old autistic children and clinicians (n?=?20) who work with autistic children in Brazil were interviewed and the data analysed using thematic analysis to explore their perceptions concerning the acceptability and feasibility of Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy. In addition, Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy was delivered to a case series of 15 further parent?child dyads; these parents were interviewed at the end of the therapy, and the data were analysed using thematic analysis. All parents and clinicians had favourable opinions about the acceptability, feasibility and perceived effectiveness of a parent-mediated intervention conducted mainly in the home. However, they also highlighted obstacles concerning the implementation of Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy in Brazil, especially related to engaging Brazilian parents in a parent-mediated model of therapy. Based on these data, minor adaptations were made to the original Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy protocol to facilitate the implementation of the intervention in Brazil. Lay abstract Parents of autistic children and health professionals who work with autistic children in Brazil had positive views about introducing Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy as a therapy for autistic children in Brazil. The parents and clinicians also mentioned some difficulties about using Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy in Brazil. We made adaptations to Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy to address these difficulties. Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy is a therapy to support the development of social and communication skills for autistic children aged 2?10 years. The therapy is conducted with the autistic child?s parent. Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy has not been used in Brazil before. There are few therapy options available for autistic children in Brazil and we believed that Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy may be useful. We asked three groups of people in Brazil about their views of Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy, after explaining how the therapy works. Group 1 included 18 parents of autistic children aged 2?10 years. Group 2 included 20 health professionals such as psychologists who work with autistic children. Group 3 included 15 parents of autistic children aged 2?7 years who received the Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy. We learned that parents and clinicians felt that Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy would be a beneficial therapy for autistic children in Brazil. We also found out about the challenges of using Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy in Brazil. We used these findings to make small cultural adaptations to Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy to make it more suitable for Brazil.

Titre : An international qualitative study of functioning in autism spectrum disorder using the World Health Organization international classification of functioning, disability and health framework Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : S.

DE VRIES, Auteur ; Lonnie ZWAIGENBAUM, Auteur ; Sven BÖLTE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.463-475 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Icf assessment autism spectrum disorder clinical practice functioning qualitative study strength Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This is the third in a series of four empirical studies designed to develop International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Sets for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The present study aimed to describe functioning in ASD (as operationalized by the ICF) derived from the perspectives of diagnosed individuals, family members, and professionals. A qualitative study using focus groups and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 stakeholder groups (N = 90) from Canada, India, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Sweden. Meaningful concepts from the focus groups and individual interviews were linked to ICF categories using a deductive qualitative approach with standardized linking procedures. The deductive qualitative content analysis yielded meaningful functioning concepts that were linked to 110 ICF categories across all four ICF components. Broad variation of environmental factors and activities and participation categories were identified in this study, while body functions consisted mainly of mental functions. Body structures were sparsely mentioned by the participants. Positive aspects of ASD included honesty, attention to detail, and memory. The experiences provided by international stakeholders support the need to understand individuals with ASD in a broader perspective, extending beyond diagnostic criteria into many areas of functioning and environmental domains. This study is part of a larger systematic effort that will provide the basis to define ICF Core Sets for ASD, from which assessment tools can be generated for use in clinical practice, research, and health care policy making. Autism Res 2018, 11: 463-475. (c) 2017 The Authors Autism Research published by International Society for Autism Research and Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: The study findings support the need to understand the living experiences of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) from a broader perspective, taking into account many areas of an individual's functioning and environment. The ICF can serve as foundation for exploring these living experiences more extensively by offering tools that enable wide variety of individual difficulties and strengths to be captured along with important environmental influences. As such, these tools can facilitate interventions that meet the needs and goals of the individual.

Despite the importance of the parent–professional partnership, there is a dearth of cultural-specific data on parent–professional partnership in the Chinese context. We conducted 10 in-depth life-history interviews with parents of children with autism spectrum conditions in Hong Kong who were diagnosed during preschool years. Using an interpretative phenomenological analytic method, five themes were constructed to represent the context of parent–professional partnership in Hong Kong along the pathway of seeking a diagnosis: (a) access to the assessment and diagnosis of autism spectrum conditions, (b) multiple procedures of assessment, (c) consultation prior to diagnosis and assessment, (d) communication of diagnosis and assessment result and (e) post-assessment isolation. Parental narratives highlight the important domains of parent–professional partnership and reflect the complexity of diagnosis and the lack of a cohesive system. For many parents, the assessment procedure was marred by a series of obstacles, which were further exacerbated by a poorly developed parent–professional partnership. Suggestions for parent–professional partnership development include establishing an evidence-based best practice guideline for Hong Kong, creating pre-assessment information workshops for parents to attend and equipping professionals with knowledge about autism spectrum conditions and enhanced communication skills.

In the present study we explore the experiences of vaccine-related and alternative treatments of autistic individuals. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with autistic adults (n = 3), parents of autistic children (n = 5) and parents of autistic adults (n = 5). Thematic analysis showed five themes: (1) reasons for choosing alternative treatment, (2) treatment content, (3) experiences with alternative care, (4) outcomes of the vaccine-related treatment and (5) future directions for treating autism. Both positive (holistic approach, time and attention) and negative aspects (false claims about vaccines and curability of autism) were found. Improved support and guidelines could reduce ineffective and harmful alternative treatments for autism.

Titre : Exploring the nature of anxiety in young adults on the autism spectrum: A qualitative study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Andrew T. HALIM, Auteur ; Amanda L. RICHDALE, Auteur ; Mirko ULJAREVIC, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.25-37 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adults ASD Anxiety Thematic analysis Qualitative study Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Research exploring the nature of anxiety symptoms in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has thus far focused on children and adolescents, providing evidence for both typical and atypical anxiety symptom presentations associated with ASD. This study builds on previous research by focusing on young adults, and comparing anxiety presentation between individuals with ASD and non-ASD individuals with anxiety disorders. We anticipated that while the non-ASD group would report only typical anxiety symptoms, and the ASD group would report both typical and atypical presentations of anxiety symptoms. Method Ten individuals with ASD and anxiety (M?=?21.8?years, SD?=?6.76), and 10 individuals with anxiety (M?=?24.4?years, SD?=?4.17) participated in focus groups. Participants responded to semi-structured interview questions specifically developed using the DSM-5 criteria for each of the anxiety disorders, Illness Anxiety Disorder, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. These questions focused on carefully elucidating experiences of anxiety including DSM-5 anxiety symptomatology and ASD-specific anxiety symptomatology. Results Thematic analysis revealed a theme structure for the ASD group composed of both DSM-5-related (e.g., social anxiety themes) and ASD-specific anxiety presentations (i.e., related to core ASD symptomatology). In contrast, the non-ASD group described predominantly DSM-5-related anxiety symptomatology. Conclusions Our findings support the predicted outcome that there are both ASD-specific anxiety and DSM-5-related anxiety symptomatology in young adults with ASD, compared with young adults with anxiety who show only DSM-5 symptomatology. Future research elucidating the relationship between ASD symptomatology and anxiety in ASD, utilising both quantitative and qualitative measures, is crucial to enable a more comprehensive understanding of the nuances of anxiety in ASD. Gaining this knowledge is a crucial step for the development of more accurate and appropriate assessment and treatment tools that can target their specific anxiety experiences.
