Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders using psychiatric hospitals in Ontario: Clinical profile and service needs / Yona LUNSKY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 3-4 (October-December 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 3-4 (October-December 2009) . - p.1006-1013 Titre : Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders using psychiatric hospitals in Ontario: Clinical profile and service needs Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yona LUNSKY, Auteur ; Carolyn GRACEY, Auteur ; Elspeth BRADLEY, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.1006-1013 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Psychiatric-services Intellectual-disability Hospitalization Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) represent a small, but challenging sub-group of patients within Ontario's mental health care system. However, few studies have documented the clinical characteristics of this population and examined how such individuals differ from other psychiatric patients, with or without intellectual disabilities (ID). Method A secondary analysis of data from the 2003 Comprehensive Assessment Projects from three psychiatric hospitals in Ontario was conducted to describe patients with ASD and ID and to determine how their profile compared to other hospital users. Results Twenty-three patients with ASD and ID were matched on gender and patient status (inpatient/outpatient) to individuals with and without ID. Individuals with ASD and ID were similar in terms of demographics to patients with and without ID. However, individuals with ASD and ID were younger, spent more days in hospital and were less likely to have a psychotic disorder diagnosis than both patients with and without ID. Inpatients with ASD and ID were recommended for a higher level of care than hospital service users without ID. Conclusions Clearly, this small sub-group of individuals within the hospital population has high clinical needs that are not always well met.

Anxiety in high-functioning autism: A pilot study of experience sampling using a mobile platform / Dougal Julian HARE in Autism, 20-6 (August 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 20-6 (August 2016) . - p.730-743 Titre : Anxiety in high-functioning autism: A pilot study of experience sampling using a mobile platform Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Dougal Julian HARE, Auteur ; Carolyn GRACEY, Auteur ; Christopher WOOD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.730-743 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : anxiety  autism spectrum disorders  interventions  psychosocial/behavioural technology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Anxiety and stress are everyday issues for many people with high-functioning autism, and while cognitive-behavioural therapy is the treatment of choice for the management of anxiety, there are challenges in using it with people with high-functioning autism. This study used modified experience sampling techniques to examine everyday anxiety and stress in adults with high-functioning autism and to explore the feasibility of delivering real-time stress management techniques using a mobile platform. High levels of anxiety were found to be characterised by worry, confusing thoughts and being alone but was not associated with internal focus, imagery or rumination. Participants reported improved mood and less worry and anxious thinking in the active phase of the study. These results support previous studies indicating that people with high-functioning autism differ in their experience of anxiety and provided preliminary data on the feasibility of real-time stress management. The limitations of this approach are discussed together with considerations for future work in the area of developing clinical interventions on mobile platforms.
