Perceptions of autism in the Australian community: Changes over time / Linda GILMORE in Research in Autism, 132 (April 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 132 (April 2026) . - 202845 Titre : Perceptions of autism in the Australian community: Changes over time Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Linda GILMORE, Auteur ; Brenda HUGHES, Auteur ; Edward SPILSBURY, Auteur ; Rion ADSETT, Auteur ; Balqis EL HANANDEH, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202845 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Community  Public  Perceptions  Attitudes  Longitudinal study Résumé : Background The prevalence and visibility of autism have increased in recent years. This study investigated community perceptions of autism over time. Method A cross-sectional study was conducted with separate samples in the Australian community in 2004-2005 (n = 1229) and 2016–2020 (n = 1263). Participants were asked to report the first thing that came to mind when they thought about autism. Responses were coded using thematic analysis and compared using independent samples proportions group statistics. Chi-square tests identified differences according to demographics. Results Responses revealed an increase in knowledge about autism at the second time point, more indications of concern, greater understanding of the implications of autism for social functioning, more references to the uniqueness or quirkiness of autistic people, and greater awareness of the autistic spectrum. By contrast, responses in the earlier sample included more inaccurate facts, stereotyped features such as splinter skills, and media portrayals of autism. There were relatively few differences in perceptions according to participant gender, education, age and personal contact. Females were more likely to comment on communication difficulties. Participants with higher levels of education mentioned the autistic spectrum and social difficulties while those with lower education reported difficulties with learning or attention. Females and respondents who had personal contact with autistic people referred to quirky autistic characteristics. Conclusion Although the Australian community appears to have become more knowledgeable about autism and more supportive of autistic people over time, the persistence of some misconceptions highlights the ongoing need for targeted public education initiatives.

Post-school needs of young people with high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder / Philippa NEARY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 18 (October 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 18 (October 2015) . - p.1-11 Titre : Post-school needs of young people with high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Philippa NEARY, Auteur ; Linda GILMORE, Auteur ; Jill ASHBURNER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1-11 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder  High-functioning ASD  Post-school outcomes  Adults  Service needs Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract This study describes the post-school circumstances and service needs of older teenagers and adults with high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder, living in Queensland, Australia. The respondents were 95 parents. Results indicated that the majority of the young people lived in the family home and were unemployed. Of those who worked, 56% had unskilled jobs. They were estimated to spend a significant proportion of their time engaged in solitary, technology-based activities, and comparatively little time in employment or socialising. Parents rated employment support as the greatest service priority for their sons and daughters, followed by specialised support to assist with completing post-school education and training, assistance to support the transition from high school to adulthood, and social skills training.

The Autistic Behavioural Indicators Instrument (ABII): Development and instrument utility in discriminating Autistic Disorder from speech and language impairment and typical development / Samantha L. WARD in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 4-1 (January-March 2010)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 4-1 (January-March 2010) . - p.28-42 Titre : The Autistic Behavioural Indicators Instrument (ABII): Development and instrument utility in discriminating Autistic Disorder from speech and language impairment and typical development Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Samantha L. WARD, Auteur ; Linda GILMORE, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.28-42 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism ASD Early-detection Diagnosis Unique-Indicators Screening ABII Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Autistic Behavioural Indicators Instrument (ABII) is an 18-item instrument developed to identify children with Autistic Disorder (AD) based on the presence of unique autistic behavioural indicators. The ABII was administered to 20 children with AD, 20 children with speech and language impairment (SLI) and 20 typically developing (TD) children aged 2–6 years. The ABII discriminated children diagnosed with AD from those diagnosed with SLI and those who were TD, based on the presence of specific social attention, sensory, and behavioural symptoms. A combination of symptomology across these domains correctly classified 100% of children with and without AD. The paper concludes that the ABII shows considerable promise as an instrument for the early identification of AD.

Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales: II Profile of Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Sabrina YANG in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-1 (January 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 46-1 (January 2016) . - p.64-73 Titre : Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales: II Profile of Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sabrina YANG, Auteur ; Jessica PAYNTER, Auteur ; Linda GILMORE, Auteur Année de publication : 2016 Article en page(s) : p.64-73 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adaptive behaviour  Autism Vineland Vineland-II  Young children Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Adaptive behaviour is a crucial area of assessment for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This study examined the adaptive behaviour profile of 77 young children with ASD using the Vineland-II, and analysed factors associated with adaptive functioning. Consistent with previous research with the original Vineland a distinct autism profile of Vineland-II age equivalent scores, but not standard scores, was found. Highest scores were in motor skills and lowest scores were in socialisation. The addition of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule calibrated severity score did not contribute significant variance to Vineland-II scores beyond that accounted for by age and nonverbal ability. Limitations, future directions, and implications are discussed.
