Informant reports were collected for participants with ASC (n = 39), a non-clinical comparison group (n = 29) and a clinical comparison group (n = 20) who had non-autistic mental health conditions. Mean administration time was 38 min (50 min for ASC). Internal consistency (alphas >/= 0.93) and inter-rater agreement (ICCs >/= 0.99) were high. When discriminating ASC from non-ASC, the 3Di-Adult showed excellent sensitivity (95%) and specificity (92%). The 3Di-Adult shows promise as a psychometrically sound and time-efficient interview for collecting standardised informant reports for DSM-5 assessments of ASC in adults, in research and clinical practice.

Community mental health professionals’ knowledge and understanding of Asperger Syndrome and the needs of this client group / Jason CRABTREE in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 12-2 (October 2011)

Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 12-2 (October 2011) . - p.56-61 Titre : Community mental health professionals’ knowledge and understanding of Asperger Syndrome and the needs of this client group Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jason CRABTREE, Auteur ; Andre STRYDOM, Auteur ; David KIRKPATRICK, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.56-61 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : With the publication of the statutory guidance of the Autism Act (2009), the needs and service requirements of adults with Asperger syndrome have never been under closer scrutiny. This article written by a Clinical Psychologist (JC) and his two colleagues, a Consultant Psychiatrist (AS) and an Assistant Psychologist (DK), describes the findings of a survey conducted in one London Borough to examine the understanding of Asperger syndrome amongst health and social care professionals working in Adult Mental Health Teams and to highlight the implications on the provision of mental health and social care to this population. Whilst the results of the survey are predictable, they act as a timely reminder of the reality for people with Asperger syndrome in trying to access services if professionals have not had sufficient training to understand their specific needs.

Comparing Intellectual and Memory Abilities of Older Autistic Adults with Typically Developing Older Adults Using WAIS-IV and WMS-IV / Venus W.S. TSE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-10 (October 2019)

Twenty-eight individuals with autism and 29 typically developing (TD) older adults took part in the current study. Participants' cognitive and memory abilities were assessed by WAIS-IV and WMS-IV. Older autistic adults were found to have poorer performance in processing speed and visual working memory, but they performed at a similar level as TD controls in all other domains. Poorer processing speed and visual working memory are also often found to be associated with age-related decline in neurotypical adults. Longitudinal studies are warranted to explore how the combination of ageing and autism affects cognitive functioning in older adults.

'Suddenly the first fifty years of my life made sense': Experiences of older people with autism / Aoife HICKEY in Autism, 22-3 (April 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 22-3 (April 2018) . - p.357-367 Titre : 'Suddenly the first fifty years of my life made sense': Experiences of older people with autism Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Aoife HICKEY, Auteur ; Jason CRABTREE, Auteur ; Joshua STOTT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.357-367 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults  ageing  autism spectrum disorders  diagnosis  qualitative research Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research on the experience of growing older with autism is very limited. In this study, 13 people with autism aged over 50 years participated in semi-structured interviews about their experiences of diagnosis, social support and getting older. Interviews were analysed using thematic analysis. Three overarching themes were generated: difference, life review and longing for connection. Prior to diagnosis, individuals had awareness of their difficulties, attributed these to intrinsic difference and engaged in a deliberate process of reducing the visibility of this difference. Diagnosis prompted a process of life review and externalisation, whereby past negative experiences were reattributed to autism as opposed to the self. Loneliness, isolation and yearning for interpersonal connection were ubiquitous and longstanding. Autism support and social groups were highly valued, offering opportunities for belonging, acceptance and social comparison. Results highlight the similarity to younger age groups in terms of lived experience and need for greater support, particularly with respect to reducing isolation and improving access to diagnosis.

The effects of residential setting on the quality of life of adults with autism spectrum conditions / Jenny ALVAREZ in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 9-2 (October 2008)

Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 9-2 (October 2008) . - p.3-8 Titre : The effects of residential setting on the quality of life of adults with autism spectrum conditions Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jenny ALVAREZ, Auteur ; Jason CRABTREE, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.3-8 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Government paper ‘Better Services for People with Autism Spectrum Disorders’ (D0H, 2006) outlines the legal obligation of services to provide appropriate support for this group of individuals. It does not, however, give information on how best to provide these services and this is reflected in the general dearth of research in this area. The aim of the current research was to redress this through investigating the impact of different living environments — from large residential settings to small community-based houses — on the quality of life (Q0L) of adults on the autism spectrum. It was found that the QoL, as measured by life experiences, adaptive behaviour skills and level of challenging behaviour, was higher in those living in smaller community-based houses when compared to those living in large residential settings. Implications of the results are considered in terms of good practice for specialist residential provision for adults on the autism spectrum. Discussion needs to continue in order to develop effective measures for Q0L for this population. Additionally, studies that are able to match groups more closely across settings are required to provide stronger evidence of the effects of type of residential setting on different outcomes.
