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)

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.

A Distance-Delivered Social Skills Program for Young Adults with Williams Syndrome: Evaluating Feasibility and Preliminary Efficacy / Marisa H. FISHER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-12 (December 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 52-12 (December 2022) . - p.5162-5176 Titre : A Distance-Delivered Social Skills Program for Young Adults with Williams Syndrome: Evaluating Feasibility and Preliminary Efficacy Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Marisa H.

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.

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 et/ou numérique Auteurs : Emma LOUGH, Auteur ; Marisa H. FISHER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3424-3433 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Social vulnerability  Victimisation  Williams syndrome  Intellectual disability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The current study took a multi-informant approach to compare parent to self-report ratings of social vulnerability of adults with Williams syndrome (WS). 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.
