Anxiety in Asperger’s syndrome: Assessment in real time / Dougal J. HARE in Autism, 19-5 (July 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 19-5 (July 2015) . - p.542-552 Titre : Anxiety in Asperger’s syndrome: Assessment in real time Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Dougal J. HARE, Auteur ; Christopher WOOD, Auteur ; Sarah WASTELL, Auteur ; Paul SKIRROW, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.542-552 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : anxiety  Asperger’s syndrome  cognitive processes  experience sampling methodology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Anxiety is a major problem for many people with Asperger’s syndrome who may have qualitatively different fears from a non-Asperger’s syndrome population. Research has relied on measures developed for non-Asperger’s syndrome populations that require reporting past experiences of anxiety, which may confound assessment in people with Asperger’s syndrome due to problems with autobiographical memory as are often reported in this group.Experience sampling methodology was used to record real-time everyday experiences in 20 adults with Asperger’s syndrome and 20 neurotypical adults. Within-subject analysis was used to explore the phenomenology of thoughts occurring in people with Asperger’s syndrome when they were anxious. Comparisons were made with the group that did not have Asperger’s syndrome. The Asperger’s syndrome group were significantly more anxious than the comparison group. Factors associated with feelings of anxiety in the Asperger’s syndrome group were high levels of self-focus, worries about everyday events and periods of rumination lasting over 10 min. People in the Asperger’s syndrome group also had a tendency to think in the image form, but this was not associated with feelings of anxiety. The results are discussed with reference to psychological models of Asperger’s syndrome, cognitive models of anxiety and implications for psychological therapy for this group.

Asperger Through the Looking Glass: An Exploratory Study of Self-Understanding in People with Asperger’s Syndrome / Paul JACKSON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-5 (May 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 42-5 (May 2012) . - p.697-706 Titre : Asperger Through the Looking Glass: An Exploratory Study of Self-Understanding in People with Asperger’s Syndrome Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Paul JACKSON, Auteur ; Paul SKIRROW, Auteur ; Dougal Julian HARE, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.697-706 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asperger’s syndrome  Self-concept  Development  Self-awareness Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Hobson (Autism and the development of mind. Lawrence Erlbaum, Hove, UK 1993) has proposed that the cognitive and linguistic disabilities that characterise autism result from abnormalities in inter-subjective engagement during infancy, which in turn results in impaired reflective self-awareness. The aim of the present study was to test Hobson’s hypothesis by examining self-understanding in Asperger’s syndrome (AS) using Damon and Hart’s (Self-understanding in childhood and adolescence. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1988) model of self-concept. Ten participants with Asperger’s syndrome were compared with ten non AS controls using the Self-understanding Interview (Damon and Hart in Self-understanding in Childhood and Adolescence. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1988). The study found that the Asperger’s group demonstrated impairment in the “self-as-object” and “self-as-subject” domains of the Self-understanding Interview, which supported Hobson’s concept of an impaired capacity for self-awareness and self-reflection in people with ASD. The results are discussed with reference to previous research regarding the development of self-understanding in people with ASD.

The `not guilty verdict': Psychological reactions to a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome in adulthood / C. PUNSHON in Autism, 13-3 (May 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 13-3 (May 2009) . - p.265-283 Titre : The `not guilty verdict': Psychological reactions to a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome in adulthood Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : C. PUNSHON, Auteur ; G. MURPHY, Auteur ; Paul SKIRROW, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.265-283 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults Asperger-syndrome diagnosis experience identity formation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Asperger syndrome is a relatively new diagnostic classification. A number of factors make receiving a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome in adulthood a unique experience. This study used a phenomenological approach to examine the experiences of 10 adults receiving such a diagnosis. Results suggested that six major themes were associated with receiving a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome. Individuals discussed their negative life experiences and their experience of services prior to diagnosis, which led to individuals holding certain beliefs about the symptoms of Asperger syndrome. These beliefs had an effect on the formation of each individual's perceived self-identity. Participants made links between how they felt when they received the diagnosis and their current beliefs about both their `symptoms' and themselves. Finally, participants highlighted the importance of the societal view of Asperger syndrome. The implications of these findings are reappraised in the context of previous research and the wider literature on identity formation.
