Recent research indicates that autistic adults use TikTok to share insights into their diagnoses. Adding to this line of inquiry, the current study examines the diagnostic journey of autistic women as shared on TikTok. Method Personal narratives of autistic women regarding their diagnostic experiences as shared on TikTok were identified and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis (Braun and Clarke, 2021) to inductively identify shared themes. Results Data related to theme I (i.e., "I have spent my whole life trying to fix myself"), II (i.e., "No one realized I was struggling"), and III (i.e., "This isn?t how it should be") was consistent with other research examining the experiences of autistic women in their diagnostic journey. Theme IV (i.e., "You know yourself better than anyone") provided unique findings with regard to the TikTok community. Specifically, content creators used TikTok as a platform for communal discourse and social empowerment. They provided and sought reciprocal support and direction. Conclusions Autistic women are turning to TikTok to share experiences and express perspectives. The data informs professionals on how to support women in their journey toward understanding themselves within an autistic identity.

Supporting teachers' implementation of the SCERTS model for autistic children in South Korean inclusive preschools / Eui-jung AN ; Sun-Ah YOON ; Soojeoung LEE in Research in Autism, 120 (February 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 120 (February 2025) . - 202530 Titre : Supporting teachers' implementation of the SCERTS model for autistic children in South Korean inclusive preschools Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Eui-jung AN, Auteur ; Sun-Ah YOON, Auteur ; Soojeoung LEE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202530 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : SCERTS  Teacher implementation  Autistic children  Inclusive preschool  South Korea Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The SCERTS (social communication, emotional regulation, and transactional support) is a comprehensive, evidence-based, multidisciplinary educational approach that addresses the core challenges faced by autistic children. For optimal social and developmental outcomes, young autistic children need to participate in general education settings and receive comprehensive intervention. However, few studies have explored the feasibility and effectiveness of integrating the SCERTS approach into the general education curriculum in inclusive preschools. This experimental study examined the effectiveness of the SCERTS approach (Prizant et al., 2006a, b) by developing a support program consisting of teacher education and on-site implementation support for comprehensive SCERTS-based treatment for autistic children in inclusive South Korean preschools. Method A total of 22 pairs of special education teachers and autistic children aged 3-5 were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The teachers completed an efficacy survey, and the children underwent Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ), K-Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales II (K-VABS-II), and Psychoeducational Profile-Revised (PEP-R) assessments before and after the intervention. Results Following the intervention, teachers in the experimental group reported a greater sense of efficacy compared to the control group (t = 2.98, p < .01). For autistic children, a significant group difference was found for the PEP-R (t = 3.50, p < .01), but not in the SCQ and K-VABS-II assessments. Conclusion The support program was effective in enhancing teacher efficacy and autistic children?s development. These findings support the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing SCERTS-based practices in Korean inclusive education settings.

The objectives of this study were to: (1) investigate changes in functional connectivity in children with ASD+DCD after CO-OP; (2) determine whether brain changes are maintained three months post-intervention; and (3) explore the relationship of functional connectivity changes with improved motor function. Method In this study, 24 children with ASD+DCD were randomly assigned to either a treatment or waitlist group and underwent three resting-state MRI scans over six months. The treatment group received intervention between the first and second scan; the waitlist group received intervention between the second and third scan. Results After CO-OP, participants showed increased functional connectivity in the left precentral gyrus and right middle frontal gyrus (Cohen?s d=0.76 and 0.79, respectively). Brain changes were maintained three months post-intervention. Regression analysis revealed increased connectivity between the sensorimotor network and left insular cortex, correlating with motor outcomes.

Heart rate variability responses to different affective inputs (affective touch and affective pictures) in autistic children and typically developing peers / José Antonio MINGORANCE ; Álvaro SABATER-GÁRRIZ ; Pedro MONTOYA in Research in Autism, 120 (February 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 120 (February 2025) . - 202532 Titre : Heart rate variability responses to different affective inputs (affective touch and affective pictures) in autistic children and typically developing peers Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : José Antonio MINGORANCE, Auteur ; Álvaro SABATER-GÁRRIZ, Auteur ; Pedro MONTOYA, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202532 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Heart rate variability  Affective touch  Affective pictures  Behavior  Children Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Purpose Heart rate variability (HRV) expresses autonomic responses to emotion perception. Although HRV has been examined during affective stimuli in autistic children, no evidence exists about differences in HRV produced by different stimulus modalities. This cross-sectional study aimed at comparing HRV during two modalities (affective touch and affective pictures) in autistic children and typically developing peers (TDP), and at exploring the factors influencing emotion-related HRV. Methods HRV time, frequency and non-linear indexes from 20 autistic children and 20 TDP were measured during resting state and different affective stimuli: affective/non-affective touch and pleasant/unpleasant/neutral pictures. Children rated stimulus valence and arousal and performed a task of emotion knowledge, and parents completed questionnaires on emotion regulation, behavior and sensory reactivity. Results Affective touch produced greater HRV responses in autistic children, whereas affective pictures modulated HRV in their TDP. Age, but not cognition, correlated with HRV in autistic children; scores of emotion knowledge, emotion regulation and behavior problems were associated with HRV indexes during affective stimulation in autistic children and TDP. Conclusion Different modalities of affective stimulation produce specific ANS regulation in autistic children. This must be considered for the design of experimental procedures and in the development and application of intervention protocols.

In this sense, the present work aims to investigate whether individuals with ASD are associated with increased risk of COVID-19 related in-hospital mortality. This is a retrospective cohort study. Data of individuals who were polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positive for SARS-CoV-2 were gathered from a nationwide database concerning hospitalization due to severe acute respiratory syndrome in Brazil. Individuals with and without ASD were the comparison groups. Mortality was the outcome and was measured by adjusted hazard ratio. A similar analysis yet with a mediation analysis was conducted as sensitivity analysis. A total of 1,181,114 individuals, including 250 (0.02 %) with ASD, met inclusion criteria and were included in the study. After adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, region, and underlying comorbid conditions, patients with ASD had 45 % higher hazard of COVID-19 related death compared to those without diagnosed ASD (hazard ratio 1.455, 95 % CI 1.149-1.842). The sensitivity analysis showed similar results. Individuals with ASD are associated with increased risk of COVID-19 related in-hospital mortality. More research is needed to improve patient outcomes and risk stratification in this population.

Effect of different nutritional interventions in children with autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review / Liang RU ; Rena MAIMAITI in Research in Autism, 120 (February 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 120 (February 2025) . - 202535 Titre : Effect of different nutritional interventions in children with autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Liang RU, Auteur ; Rena MAIMAITI, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202535 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder  Nutrition  Vitamin D  Gluten  Casein  Omega-3 supplements  Nutritional interventions Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Objective The systematic review aims to investigate the impact of nutritional interventions on the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among children. Method The study was registered in Prospero, with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines guiding the formulation of the manuscript. The search strategy involved querying databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar using specific search terms. The inclusion criteria focused on studies published from 2013 to 2024, in English, and appearing in peer-reviewed journals to capture the most current research in the field. Quality assessment was conducetd using Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) with two investigators managing duplicates and finalizing articles. Following data extraction using a specified form, a narrative analysis approach was employed to synthesise the findings of the studies, given the heterogeneity and insufficient data for quantitative analysis. Results The systematic review included 21 studies that investigated the effects of various dietary interventions on children with ASD. The studies covered a range of interventions, including probiotics, commercial dietary supplementation, and specific diets. A commercially available dietary supplementation Novara also showed significant outcomes in imporoving cognitive health. In addition, the use of vitamins, gluten-free diets, and ketogenic diets also demonstrated in some studies with improvements in autistic indexes and better outcomes regarding cognition and sociability. These interventions were also associated with an extent of enhancement in gastrointestinal symptoms, sensory processing, core symptoms, social communication, and behavioral activities in individuals with ASD. Conclusion This systematic review indicates that nutritional interventions, including probiotics, supplements, and specialised diets, show potential benefits in managing ASD symptoms in children. However, larger systematic studies are needed to confirm these effects before definitive conclusions can be drawn and recommendations made for clinical practice.

CHEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202537 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Tertiary education  Employment  School services  Career development Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Secure employment is a key transition goal for autistic young adults, especially for college students and graduates with requisite professional competencies. Autistic young adults are often the primary service receivers of school-based career services for SEN students, especially in Taiwan. Here, we aimed to identify the roles of school support services in career development for autistic young adults and to investigate which services best predicted positive employment outcomes. Methods We employed an online survey targeting autistic young adults. Descriptive analysis, inference statistics, and multiple logistic regression analyses were used to identify the factors that predicted the employment status of participants. Results Our participants included 112 autistic college students and graduates, of whom 35 were employed and 77 were unemployed at the time of the study. Most participants (97.3 %) had received at least one basic school service as required by the law. However, over a third (37.5 %) of participants were unaware of additional career services at their university. Among the services, internships that were arranged by the school for the students stood out as the only significant predictor of positive employment status, controlling for age, education level, and student status. Furthermore, the ability to commute independently increased the likelihood of being employed. Conclusion The results highlight the importance of practical work opportunities and independent commuting for autistic young adults to enter the workforce. Further research is warranted to understand the impact alongside other potential contributors. Schools may promote disability employment by arranging internships and helping students achieve independence in transportation.
