ASD thinking, which has been reported to often show lower flexibility, has been previously associated with lower scores in creative tasks aimed at measuring the ability to generate a large number of diverse ideas. However, enhanced originality of responses was observed in ASD, mostly in younger individuals. This study investigates the creative profile of a group of adults with ASD using both linguistic and figural tasks and compares it with a control group of matched neurotypical individuals. Ninety-four participants aged 19?69 years completed a battery of linguistic and figural creative tasks administered online. In addition, beliefs and attitudes about creativity were measured using a self-report questionnaire. Consistently with previous evidence, our results revealed a significant creative advantage of adults with ASD in linguistic originality compared to neurotypical controls. Furthermore, a significantly better performance in executing the creative assignment of varying their drawing output was recorded in the figural task. Finally, focusing on individual conceptions about creativity, individuals with ASD rated themselves as significantly more creative, to believe more in a genetic predisposition towards creativity, and to conceptualize being creative as doing things differently. These findings add further evidence to the specific creative strengths of the ASD cognitive profile and confirm that exceptional originality tends to persist into adulthood.

Methods This study enrolled 1321 children with ASD and 1200 typically developing (TD) children under 7 years old in China. Maternal vitamin supplements were classified for vitamin D, multivitamin (with or without vitamin D), and none (no use of vitamin D or multivitamin). For children with ASD, symptoms were assessed with the Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC), Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) and Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS), and neurodevelopmental levels were evaluated with the Children Neuropsychological and Behavior Scale-Revision 2016 (CNBS-R2016). Results Maternal vitamin D and multivitamin supplementation during pregnancy were both significantly associated with a decreased risk of ASD in offspring (P = 0.024 and P < 0.001). The ASD children born to mothers with gestational multivitamin supplementation had lower CARS [? = ?1.342 (?2.275, ?0.409), P = 0.005] and communication warning behavior [? = ?6.631 (?9.899, ?3.363), P < 0.001] scores and higher personal-social quotient [? = 3.347 (0.190, 6.504), P = 0.038] than children born to mothers without supplementation. Maternal vitamin D supplementation was not associated with symptoms and development quotients in ASD children (P > 0.05). Conclusions This study supports a protective association between maternal vitamin D and multivitamin supplementation during pregnancy and the risk of ASD in offspring. Maternal multivitamin supplementation may potentially moderate the symptoms and personal-social ability in ASD children. Further studies are needed on the role of maternal nutrition in the etiology and autistic symptoms and the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Relationship between perceived discrimination and social anxiety among parents of children with autism spectrum disorders in China: The mediating roles of affiliate stigma and perceived social support / Tianhao WU ; Jingjing LIU ; Wenjun GUAN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 111 (March 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 111 (March 2024) . - p.102310 Titre : Relationship between perceived discrimination and social anxiety among parents of children with autism spectrum disorders in China: The mediating roles of affiliate stigma and perceived social support Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Tianhao WU, Auteur ; Jingjing LIU, Auteur ; Wenjun GUAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102310 Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Perceived discrimination  Social anxiety  Affiliate stigma  Perceived social support  Parents Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Social anxiety among parents of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is a critical issue because it could lead to adverse consequences for psychological and social functioning. Research shows that there is a positive correlation between perceived discrimination and social anxiety. Affiliate stigma and low levels of perceived social support, which may stem from experiences of discrimination, can produce negative emotions, such as social anxiety. Additionally, the negative effects of affiliate stigma on perceived social support have also been documented. Therefore, this study explored the mediating role of affiliate stigma and perceived social support between perceived discrimination and social anxiety among parents of children with ASD in China. Method 396 parents of children with ASD participated in a cross-sectional online survey that included measures of perceived discrimination, affiliate stigma, perceived social support, and social anxiety. The results were analyzed by SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 26.0. Results (1) Perceived discrimination, affiliate stigma, and perceived social support were significantly correlated with the social anxiety of parents of children with ASD; (2) Affiliate stigma and perceived social support may mediate the association between perceived discrimination and social anxiety, respectively; (3) Affiliate stigma and perceived social support may mediate the relationship between perceived discrimination and social anxiety. Conclusions The findings suggest that experiences of discrimination by parents of children with ASD are associated with relatively high affiliate stigma and lower perceived social support, which may contribute to social anxiety. Although there are limitations in the analyses of cross-sectional data, the findings show preliminary implications for the prevention and intervention of social anxiety among parents of children with ASD.

Like ?illness identity,? the degree to which a person integrates chronic illness into their self-identity, autism identity entails unique issues following diagnosis. Accepting the diagnosis allows better coping with its challenges and psychological, social, and physical functioning. However, knowledge of autism identity?s relationship with social participation in environments such as home, school, and community, quality of life (QoL), and personal well-being is limited. This study aimed to present an autism-identity profile of young adults and assess those relationships. Method This cross-sectional study included 42 autistic adults (18?25 years; M = 19.62, SD = 1.1) recruited from a postsecondary training program. All completed an Illness Identity Questionnaire adapted for autism, Child and Adolescent Scale of Participation, QoL Questionnaire, and Personal Well-Being Index. We calculated autism-identity profiles using descriptive statistics and examined relationships between self-reported autism-identity perceptions and participation, QoL, and well-being using Pearson?s correlations and stepwise linear regressions. Results The participants reported significantly higher positive than negative autism-identity feelings, t(41) = 6.17, p < .001, d = .95. Higher positive autism-identity perception significantly correlated with higher reported participation (r = .44, p < .01) and QoL (r = .36, p < .05). Higher engulfment feelings (i.e., feeling that autism overwhelms the individual?s identity) significantly predicted lower social participation and well-being. Conclusions Although natural development and social and educational environments affect identity and self-perception, caregivers, educators, and support services should help autistic young adults adopt more positive and reduce negative feelings about their autism.

Individual, social, and life course risk factors for experiencing interpersonal violence among autistic people of varying gender identities: A mixed methods systematic review / Kathryn RIDGWAY ; Laura PECORA ; Elizabeth WESTRUPP ; Darren HEDLEY ; Merrilyn HOOLEY ; Mark A. STOKES in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 111 (March 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 111 (March 2024) . - p.102313 Titre : Individual, social, and life course risk factors for experiencing interpersonal violence among autistic people of varying gender identities: A mixed methods systematic review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kathryn RIDGWAY, Auteur ; Laura PECORA, Auteur ; Elizabeth WESTRUPP, Auteur ; Darren HEDLEY, Auteur ; Merrilyn HOOLEY, Auteur ; Mark A. STOKES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102313 Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Violence  Minority stress  Intersectionality  Risk factors  Systematic review Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Interpersonal violence is a widespread yet understudied issue in autism spectrum disorder (henceforth, ?autism?). Characteristic of autism are high rates of gender diversity, and so increased multiple minority group membership. Under minority stress and intersectionality models, minority identity presents greater risk of violence, while demographic variables (e.g., gender, sexuality, race) add to marginalisation and intersect to further enhance risk. However, research investigating risk and contextual predictors has been limited. This review examined individual, social, and life course risk factors associated with experiences of interpersonal violence among autistic people of varying gender identities. Methods A systematic database search identified 59 studies examining violence: (1) combined physical, sexual, and/or psychological; (2) physical; (3) sexual; (4) psychological; (5) traditional bullying; (6) cyberbullying; and (7) homicide among autistic people of any age and support needs, varying by gender. Final included studies comprised 42,251 autistic (65.79% males, 32.91% females, 0.14% transgender, 0.69% non-binary/gender queer, 0.002% intersex, 0.46% gender n/s), and 269,433 non-autistic participants (32.57% males, 64.45% females, 0.006% non-binary/gender queer, 2.98% gender n/s), aged 2?81 years. Results Narrative synthesis of the 59 studies showed a consistent pattern of increased rates of overall and repeated violence across the life course among autistic compared to non-autistic people. Intersectional risk was identified across all socio-ecological levels: individual (e.g., autism-related factors, age, mental health, gender, demographic diversity); proximal social (e.g., parents, peers, partners), community (e.g., home, school, healthcare, police interaction), and broader social (e.g., safety education, violence prevention/support services, specialised care/training, public stigma). Conclusions Our review indicates that interpersonal violence is a common issue for autistic people, who experience enhanced risk victimisation across the life course, particularly among multiply marginalised people (i.e., gender, race, sexuality, mental health). Our review underscores the importance of examining violence from an intersectionality and minority stress perspective and across socio-ecological contexts, and provides important empirical, legal, and policy implications.

Comparing the autism service needs and priorities of Indigenous and newcomer families in Canada: Qualitative insights / Janet MCLAUGHLIN ; Margaret SCHNEIDER ; Grant BRUNO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 111 (March 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 111 (March 2024) . - p.102314 Titre : Comparing the autism service needs and priorities of Indigenous and newcomer families in Canada: Qualitative insights Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Janet MCLAUGHLIN, Auteur ; Margaret SCHNEIDER, Auteur ; Grant BRUNO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102314 Mots-clés : Autism  Qualitative  Indigenous peoples  Newcomers  Services Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Indigenous Peoples and newcomers are two of the largest and fastest growing populations in Canada (Statistics Canada, 2022; Zimonjic, 2022). Yet despite this, little is known about their experiences navigating and accessing autism services for their children. Method To address this gap, the current study sought to explore the autism service needs and priorities of Indigenous and newcomer families in Canada. A total of 19 participants (9 Indigenous and 10 newcomer caregivers) were selected using purposive sampling to participate in a semi-structured interview. Results The findings revealed that Indigenous families prioritized the need for services in rural and remote areas, tailored information to their needs, and support preserving their cultural heritage. On the other hand, newcomer families emphasized the importance of peer support, quality standards for services and therapies, and support during transition periods.

Yet despite this, little is known about their experiences navigating and accessing autism services for their children. Method To address this gap, the current study sought to explore the autism service needs and priorities of Indigenous and newcomer families in Canada. A total of 19 participants (9 Indigenous and 10 newcomer caregivers) were selected using purposive sampling to participate in a semi-structured interview. Results The findings revealed that Indigenous families prioritized the need for services in rural and remote areas, tailored information to their needs, and support preserving their cultural heritage. On the other hand, newcomer families emphasized the importance of peer support, quality standards for services and therapies, and support during transition periods. Similarities across both groups indicated the need for addressing the lengthy waitlists for services, which have also been reported in the general population in Canada, having services and professionals place a greater emphasis on the child?s strengths, and culturally safe services and practice. Conclusion The present findings have important implications for the design and implementation of services and supports which reflect the needs and priorities of underserved communities.

The relationships of autistic child characteristics, metacognitive beliefs, and autistic traits with affiliate stigma among parents of children with autism spectrum conditions: A moderated mediation study / Liz Yuanxi LEE ; Yuying WANG ; Xuemin ZHANG in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 111 (March 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 111 (March 2024) . - p.102315 Titre : The relationships of autistic child characteristics, metacognitive beliefs, and autistic traits with affiliate stigma among parents of children with autism spectrum conditions: A moderated mediation study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Liz Yuanxi LEE, Auteur ; Yuying WANG, Auteur ; Xuemin ZHANG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102315 Mots-clés : Autism spectrum conditions  Autistic child characteristics  Autistic traits  Metacognitive beliefs  Affiliate stigma Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Caregivers of children with autism spectrum conditions (ASCs) are typically affected by autism-related stigma, which is internalized to form affiliate stigma. Limited studies have explored the factors potentially associated with affiliate stigma among parents of children with ASC. The present study examined the relationships among autistic child characteristics, parental autistic traits, parental metacognitive beliefs, and parental affiliate stigma. Method We recruited 134 parents of children with ASC in a cross-sectional study. We assessed autistic child characteristics, parental autistic traits, parental metacognitive beliefs, and parental affiliate stigma by using the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS), the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ), the Metacognition Questionnaire 30 (MCQ-30), and the Affiliate Stigma Scale (ASS). Path analysis was performed to examine the relationships between autistic child characteristics, parental autistic traits, parental metacognitive beliefs, and parental affiliate stigma. Results There were correlations among autistic child characteristics, parental metacognitive beliefs, and parental affiliate stigma. Parental metacognitive beliefs mediated the relationship between autistic child characteristics and parental affiliate stigma, whereas parental autistic traits were not a moderating factor. Conclusions This study revealed the factors potentially associated with the affiliate stigma of parents of children with ASC. The findings highlight the importance of considering parental metacognitive beliefs when assessing and managing parental affiliate stigma.

Higher autism trait severity in children associates with diminished integration of angry prosody in semantic processing / Ming LUI ; Andrea HILDEBRANDT ; Werner SOMMER ; Changsong ZHOU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 111 (March 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 111 (March 2024) . - p.102325 Titre : Higher autism trait severity in children associates with diminished integration of angry prosody in semantic processing Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ming LUI, Auteur ; Andrea HILDEBRANDT, Auteur ; Werner SOMMER, Auteur ; Changsong ZHOU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102325 Mots-clés : Autism traits  Emotional prosody  Semantic processing  Speech  Communication  Event-related potentials Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Previous studies examined group differences of individuals with and without autism. This study investigated individual differences in automatic integration of emotional prosody during semantic processing at the behavioral and neural levels among children using a continuous measure of autism trait severity. Method Event-related potentials (ERPs) of 46 children, 21 of them diagnosed with ASD, were measured. Children determined the semantic valence of spoken words, and ignored the emotional prosody, which was either congruent or incongruent with the semantic valence. Results Independent of congruency, higher autism trait severity and Intelligence Quotient (IQ) were associated with faster reaction times (RTs), while higher IQ and language ability were associated with higher accuracy. The difference between congruent and incongruent conditions (congruency effect) indicates automatic integration of emotional prosody in semantic processing. In ERPs, higher autism trait severity and higher IQ were associated with smaller congruency effects on P2 amplitudes for angry (but not happy) prosodic stimuli. Conclusion The findings suggest a stronger tendency to ignore angry prosodies among children with higher autism trait severity. This has implications for educational practices and parent counseling regarding communication with children with high autism trait severity.

In this study, we hypothesize an association between Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and regression. We conducted a two-part analysis using data from the Simon Simplex Collection consisting of 2564 ASD probands. Independent sample t-tests or chi-squared tests were utilized comparing regression against no-regression groups, and regression in children with and without early onset of GI symptoms. The presence of GI symptoms of any kind is associated with regression (odds ratio= 1.51; 95% CI 1.25 - 2.82; p < 0.001). Early GI effects on subsequent development of regression demonstrate no association (OR=0.81; 95% CI 0.649?1.01; p < 0.062). Although a clear relationship between GI symptoms and regression is demonstrated in this study, the lack of temporal relationship between the two highlight the need for a better understanding of the underlying mechanism behind this phenomenon.

Nonetheless, there is an evident dearth of data originating from low- and middle-income countries. Our study sought to comprehensively evaluate the usage of psychopharmacological treatments and the effectiveness of those treatments as perceived by the parents of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Macedonia, a middle-income country in South-Eastern Europe. Methods We conducted a survey involving 103 parents of individuals with ASD and analyzed the questionnaire responses using descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests. Results Our research uncovered that 62% of individuals diagnosed with ASD were prescribed psychopharmacological treatments, yet only 48% actually utilized them. Among the medications prescribed, antipsychotics (55%) and antiepileptics (44%) were the most common, with risperidone and valproate being the preferred options. Psychopharmacological treatments were found to be more commonly used among individuals aged 15 years and above, with children under 8 years closely following suit at a rate of 56%. Furthermore, we discovered a noteworthy association between the severity of ASD symptoms and the utilization of these interventions. Intriguingly, the majority of parents (73%) regarded the effectiveness of psychopharmacological treatments as only partially effective. Conclusion Our study emphasizes the prevalent utilization of psychotropic medication, especially among young individuals, and underscores the necessity for enhanced dissemination of information to parents regarding prescribed medications. By integrating our research findings, medical professionals and policymakers can enhance the strategies and initiatives used to improve the quality of care and support for individuals on the autism spectrum.

Understanding the determinants of physical activity is essential in order to support intervention development. Methods The current research applied the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and Capability Opportunity Motivation, Behaviour (COM-B) model of behaviour to identify determinants of physical activity behaviour, mechanisms of action, and potentially efficacious behaviour change techniques. Fifteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with autistic adults (N = 4) and children (N = 2), parents of autistic children (N = 4), and stakeholders in autism care and support (N = 5). A deductive approach was taken to map themes onto TDF and COM-B. Results Participants identified three overarching themes: Discordance between autistic and non-autistic perspectives; physically active environments; and autonomy and choice. Eight subthemes were identified and mapped onto COM-B and TDF. Recommendations for intervention development are made and potential behaviour change techniques are identified. Conclusions Given the important role of care providers, future research should focus on the attitudes and behaviours of individuals who care for and support autistic individuals to identify barriers and drivers of physical activity promotion, particularly for individuals with high support needs. An argument is made for co-design in future intervention development.
