Missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis? Girls and women on the autism spectrum / Judith GOULD in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 12-1 (May 2011)

Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 12-1 (May 2011) . - p.34-41 Titre : Missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis? Girls and women on the autism spectrum Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Judith GOULD, Auteur ; Jacqui ASHTON-SMITH, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.34-41 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is increasing awareness that we are missing girls and women on the autism spectrum and the assumption that many more boys and men have autism or Asperger syndrome is being challenged. There is a need to consider the extent to which females on the autism spectrum present differently from males and to explore whether they have different needs. This would then have implications for the systems, instruments and processes used for diagnosis and for the types of interventions offered. This paper makes a start at investigating this whole area and gives some evidence on the potential differences between males and females with autism. Suggestions are made on how diagnostic questions might be altered to identify some females on the autism spectrum who might otherwise be missed. The Editors of GAP welcome other papers on this topic.

Mutual attraction? How do we identify and attract the right people to work in the field of autism? / Jacqui ASHTON-SMITH in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 12-2 (October 2011)

Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 12-2 (October 2011) . - p.43-50 Titre : Mutual attraction? How do we identify and attract the right people to work in the field of autism? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jacqui ASHTON-SMITH, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.43-50 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study explored the characteristics of staff thought to be effective in working with children and young people with autism in residential specialist schools. Data were collected from 38 staff involved in leadership or management within six residential schools. This paper summarises the qualities and skills that these staff thought were most important in working with this group of students. Some of these ideas might usefully be built into and explored within the recruitment systems and staff development processes or could be discussed as a whole school issue. An interesting point is made that some of the traits required often create a staff group that is challenging for leaders to manage and lead! Although the sample was limited to those working in specialist schools, the data can also be considered in relation to mainstream and generic special settings.
