DEBRABANDER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3774-3781 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adult  Autism Spectrum Disorder  Autistic Disorder  Humans  Pilot Projects  Quality of Life  Social Interaction  Surveys and Questionnaires  Asd  Autism  Social functioning  Vocational program Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Quality of life (QoL), social-emotional and occupational functioning are often diminished in young autistic adults. Measuring these constructs as vocational training outcomes may inform future programming and relevancy of measures. METHODS: This pilot study analyzed changes in social-emotional functioning and QoL during the involvement at a vocational program for autistic adults using the WHOQOL-BREF, a modified version of the Birchwood- Social Functioning Scale (SFS-m) and a piloted measure. Participants completed these self-reported questionnaires upon admission and at 3 months. RESULTS: Significant change was found on the SFS-m and two WHOQOL-BREF domains: psychological and environmental. CONCLUSIONS: This pilot study suggests that autistic adults, similar in characterization, can self-report using these QoL and social measures; further, these measures are sensitive to certain changes over time in such group programs.

Brief Report: Insight into Illness and Social Attributional Style in Asperger's Syndrome / Nyaz DIDEHBANI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-12 (December 2012)

However insight into illness has not been empirically investigated in ASP and little research has examined how individuals with ASP view their deficits. This is the first study to assess insight and the relationship between insight and externalizing bias (EB) in ASP. Participants with ASP (n = 21) and healthy controls (n = 24) were recruited. Attributional style was assessed with the internal, personal, and situational attribution questionnaire. Insight was assessed with both a clinician-administered and a self-administered measure. Results revealed that EB was negatively correlated with insight as assessed with the clinician-administered but not the self-administered measure of insight.

Virtual Reality Social Cognition Training for Young Adults with High-Functioning Autism / Michelle R. KANDALAFT in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 43-1 (January 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 43-1 (January 2013) . - p.34-44 Titre : Virtual Reality Social Cognition Training for Young Adults with High-Functioning Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Michelle R.

CHAPMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.34-44 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Virtual reality  Autism  Asperger  Intervention  Treatment  Adult Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Few evidence-based social interventions exist for young adults with high-functioning autism, many of whom encounter significant challenges during the transition into adulthood. The current study investigated the feasibility of an engaging Virtual Reality Social Cognition Training intervention focused on enhancing social skills, social cognition, and social functioning. Eight young adults diagnosed with high-functioning autism completed 10 sessions across 5 weeks. Significant increases on social cognitive measures of theory of mind and emotion recognition, as well as in real life social and occupational functioning were found post-training. These findings suggest that the virtual reality platform is a promising tool for improving social skills, cognition, and functioning in autism.
