SHIVERS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3649-3660 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Friendship  Loneliness  Social skills  Williams Syndrome Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Individuals with Williams Syndrome (WS) are hypersocial, overfriendly, and experience social skills deficits that may adversely impact their social outcomes. This study examined the relation between social skills, friendship quality, and feelings of loneliness for adults with WS as reported by 114 parent-adult with WS dyads. Results indicate that although most friends do not live close-by, adults with WS have good quality friendships and do not report high feelings of loneliness. Positive friendship qualities were found to partially mediate the relationship between social skills impairments and social feelings of loneliness. Findings indicate that although adults with WS experience social skills deficits and struggle to maintain friendships in their immediate community, they still report positive friendship qualities and low feelings of loneliness.

Differences in social vulnerability among individuals with autism spectrum disorder, Williams syndrome, and Down syndrome / Marisa H. FISHER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-8 (August 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-8 (August 2013) . - p.931-937 Titre : Differences in social vulnerability among individuals with autism spectrum disorder, Williams syndrome, and Down syndrome Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Marisa H. FISHER, Auteur ; Andrew L. MOSKOWITZ, Auteur ; Robert M. HODAPP, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : p.931-937 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Victimization  Social vulnerability  Autism spectrum disorder  Williams syndrome  Down syndrome Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Although individuals with disabilities are at increased risk of victimization, few studies examine persons with different disability conditions to determine whether distinctive cognitive–behavioral profiles are associated with different levels of social vulnerability. To determine the differences in social vulnerability and experiences of victimization, caregiver responses to a Social Vulnerability Questionnaire were examined for 103 caregivers of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Williams syndrome (WS), and Down syndrome (DS). Although all three groups experienced similar rates and types of victimization, the specific correlates of social vulnerability differed by disability. Individuals with ASD displayed less risk awareness and had less social protection; those with WS were rated higher on risk factors related to perceived vulnerability and parental independence; and those with DS had less risk awareness and were perceived to be more vulnerable. Safety interventions should be tailored to address each group's specific correlates of social vulnerability.

To improve social outcomes, we evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an 8-week distance-delivered social skills program for adults with WS. Sessions were offered twice a week for 90 min. Twenty-four adults with WS were assigned to an intervention or waitlist control group. Outcomes were assessed through interviews and surveys with adults with WS, parents, and facilitators. The intervention was rated as acceptable and feasible by all. Parents rated adults with WS as displaying significant improvements in social skills; yet ratings by adults with WS did not change. Adults also displayed increased social skills knowledge following participation. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.

Let’s talk about it: Peer victimization experiences as reported by adolescents with autism spectrum disorder / Marisa H. FISHER in Autism, 20-4 (May 2016)

In this qualitative investigation, responses to questions about bullying and teasing were examined to gain insight into the perception of peer victimization as reported by adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. While the majority of participants provided examples of peer victimization, their situations differed from items typically assessed on bullying questionnaires. Participants were also able to provide explanations for why they believe they are targets and descriptions of their reactions to bullying. Findings from the interviews are used to provide suggestions for the development of more informative bullying assessments and prevention programs for students with autism spectrum disorder.

Parent and Self-Report Ratings on the Perceived Levels of Social Vulnerability of Adults with Williams Syndrome / Emma LOUGH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-11 (November 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 46-11 (November 2016) . - p.3424-3433 Titre : Parent and Self-Report Ratings on the Perceived Levels of Social Vulnerability of Adults with Williams Syndrome Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Emma LOUGH, Auteur ; Marisa H.

Participants included 102 pairs of adults with WS and their parents. Parents completed the Social Vulnerability Questionnaire and adults with WS completed an adapted version of the questionnaire. Parents consistently reported higher levels of social vulnerability for their son/daughter than the individual with WS reported, with the exception of emotional abuse. The lower ratings of social vulnerability by adults with WS, compared to their parents, offer new information about their insight into their own vulnerability. These findings highlight the importance of teaching self-awareness as a part of a multi-informant approach to interventions designed to target social vulnerability.
