The health of college students on the autism spectrum as compared to their neurotypical peers / Jane D. MCLEOD in Autism, 25-3 (April 2021)
[article]
Titre : The health of college students on the autism spectrum as compared to their neurotypical peers Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jane D. MCLEOD, Auteur ; Amelia HAWBAKER, Auteur ; Emily MEANWELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.719-730 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders college students disability comorbidity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Studies have shown that children and older adults on the autism spectrum experience more physical and mental health problems than their neurotypical peers. Less is known about the physical and mental health of college students on the spectrum. Studying college students is important because young adults on the spectrum are enrolling in college at increasing rates and because health problems can be a barrier to succeeding in college. We collected data from 2820 students at 14 colleges and universities using an online survey, some of whom had registered for accommodations based on autism and others of whom had not. We used the data to compare the physical and mental health of students on the spectrum to their neurotypical peers. Because students with autism often report other disabilities that also affect health, we accounted for whether they experienced a learning disability, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, sensory impairment, mobility impairment, mental health disorder, or any other disabilities. We assessed health using self-reports of how healthy they were physically and mentally, and reports of depressive symptoms, symptoms of anxiety, sleep deprivation, and binge drinking. We found that students with autism reported poorer physical and mental health, more depressive symptoms, and more symptoms of anxiety even after taking into account other disabilities they may have experienced. They were also less likely to report sleep deprivation and binge drinking. Our results argue for developing specialized services to address the physical and mental health challenges of college students on the spectrum.
