Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 132 (April 2026) . - 202842 Titre : Brief report: A policy Delphi study of expectations on resource groups in autism mental healthcare Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rinske M. VAN DEN HEUVEL, Auteur ; Michel WENSING, Auteur ; Suzan EENINK, Auteur ; Hilde M. GEURTS, Auteur ; Jan-Pieter TEUNISSE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202842 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Mental healthcare  Network involvement  Integrated care  Recovery Résumé : Background There is a growing emphasis on what autistic individuals need to flourish. A similar trend is observed in general mental health services through personal recovery approaches, which aim for a meaningful life and increasing well-being rather than merely a remission of symptoms of psychological conditions. One practical application of this recovery-focused approach is the Resource Group (RG) method, which emphasizes empowerment with a focus on client chosen goals, integrated care, and involving close persons. The RG method has been shown to increase quality of life and empowerment in clients of not-autism specific mental healthcare settings and can potentially improve mental healthcare services which are currently insufficiently tailored to the needs of autistic people. Stakeholder views regarding this method need to be determined before implementation. This brief report aimed to investigate expectations regarding potential effects and barriers for implementation from the perspectives of autistic clients, healthcare professionals, and network members of clients. Methods Autistic clients (n = 9), network members chosen by the clients (n = 7), and mental healthcare professionals (n = 10), participated in three separate policy Delphi procedures, which aimed to identify and elaborate on the various perspectives on RGs. Results Expected benefits and barriers differed between stakeholder groups, with healthcare professionals anticipating most benefits compared to autistic clients and network members. Most expected benefits were increased interprofessional coordination, and increased client empowerment, although the latter was not strongly expected by clients. Barriers that were most expected were related to the long-term continuation of the RG, difficulties in scheduling RG meetings and the energy- and time demands. Conclusion The results highlight which aspects of the RG methodology need to be adjusted to make it feasible and beneficial for autistic individuals in mental health settings before testing its efficacy.

Brief Report: Relationship Between Self-Awareness of Real-World Behavior and Treatment Outcome in Autism Spectrum Disorders / Elisabeth W.M. VERHOEVEN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-5 (May 2012)

For this purpose we followed 28 adolescents with ASD during their first year of specialized treatment. Results showed that better self-awareness at start of treatment was related with an increase in clinician-reported social functioning after 1 year of treatment. Additionally, an increase in self-awareness during treatment was related with a decrease of parent-reported problems in daily functioning. However, an increase in self-awareness was also related to an increase of self-reported daily and psychological problems. It is discussed that lowered self-awareness may result in an overestimation of personal real-world functioning and consequently may influence treatment course.

Clinical assessment of ASD in adults using self- and other-report: Psychometric properties and validity of the Adult Social Behavior Questionnaire (ASBQ) / E.H. HORWITZ in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 24 (April 2016)

Psychometric qualities, convergence between self report and other report ratings, and scores in a group diagnosed with ASD and multiple comparison groups were examined. Principal Component Analyses yielded a structure with six dimensions (reduced contact, reduced empathy, reduced interpersonal insight, violation of social conventions, insistence on sameness, and sensory stimulation/motor stereotypies) for both self- and other-report versions. Reliability estimates and correlations between self- and other-ratings were good and the score profile on the 44-item ASBQ differentiated a group with ASD from a non-clinical group and patients with depression, schizophrenia and ADHD. We conclude that the ASBQ is a short and easy to apply questionnaire that captures the heterogeneous nature of ASD. It yields a score profile among six ASD problem domains both from the perspective of the patient and from a significant other.

Data were gathered from 105 young adults living independently in the community. The social networks of people with ID and ASD are more restricted than those of the reference group. Compared with the other groups, people with ASD are less often satisfied with their networks. Each group has its own characteristics, issues and wishes with respect to their social network. Practical measures to enable professionals to adapt to these issues are discussed.

Pragmatic Inferences in High-Functioning Adults with Autism and Asperger Syndrome / Judith PIJNACKER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 39-4 (April 2009)

We carried out a behavioral study on high-functioning adults with autistic disorder (n = 11) and Asperger syndrome (n = 17) and matched controls (n = 28) to investigate whether they are capable of deriving scalar implicatures, which are generally considered to be pragmatic inferences. Participants were presented with underinformative sentences like “Some sparrows are birds”. This sentence is logically true, but pragmatically inappropriate if the scalar implicature “Not all sparrows are birds” is derived. The present findings indicate that the combined ASD group was just as likely as controls to derive scalar implicatures, yet there was a difference between participants with autistic disorder and Asperger syndrome, suggesting a potential differentiation between these disorders in pragmatic reasoning. Moreover, our results suggest that verbal intelligence is a constraint for task performance in autistic disorder but not in Asperger syndrome.
