VASA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2481-2492 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic youth are at significant risk of experiencing a mental health crisis. Unfortunately, most clinical approaches to crisis management, such as referral to the emergency department, can be traumatic. At present, no crisis prevention programs have been developed for or rigorously tested among autistic youth. The goals of this study were to develop a parent-mediated mental health crisis prevention program, delivered virtually by a licensed clinician over three 1-h sessions, and test its efficacy via a randomized controlled trial. The trial included 49 autistic youth, ages 3 to 12 years, and their parents, who were recruited from an outpatient autism center. All children had behavioral concerns but were not at acute risk of crisis. Parents in the crisis prevention program (n = 25) reported that the strategies were safe and feasible; they were also very satisfied with the program. Compared to active controls (n = 24), who received the Autism Speaks Challenging Behavior Toolkit, the crisis prevention program was found to have greater improvements in caregiver-reported knowledge, confidence, and preparedness regarding management of crisis behaviors (p < .05). However, effects on caregiver-reported child irritability and behavioral acuity did not differ (p > .05). The brief crisis prevention program is safe, feasible, and acceptable to parents. While it improves mental health crisis preparedness, further research on its efficacy in reducing crisis risk is needed.

Therefore, the goal of this study was to address this gap hypothesizing that higher classroom quality would be associated with higher child social competence both in and outside the classroom. The quality of the classrooms of 43 autistic preschooler boys was assessed by observation, and children’s social competence in preschool was assessed by observation and teacher-report, and outside preschool by observing children’s interactions with an unfamiliar adult. Controlling for the severity of the boys’ symptoms, results revealed that higher classroom emotional support and organization was associated with higher child social competence as observed and reported by teachers in preschool, and with the boys’ involvement with of an unfamiliar adult during play. The quality of the classroom environment was associated with the social skills of autistic boys.

Using Artificial Intelligence to Improve Empathetic Statements in Autistic Adolescents and Adults: A Randomized Clinical Trial / Lynn Kern KOEGEL in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-7 (July 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-7 (July 2026) . - p.2513-2529 Titre : Using Artificial Intelligence to Improve Empathetic Statements in Autistic Adolescents and Adults: A Randomized Clinical Trial Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lynn Kern KOEGEL, Auteur ; Elizabeth PONDER, Auteur ; Tommy BRUZZESE, Auteur ; Mason WANG, Auteur ; Sina J.

LAM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2513-2529 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Challenges with social communication and social interaction are a defining characteristic of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These challenges frequently interfere with making friendships, securing and maintaining employment, and can lead to co-occurring conditions. While face-to-face clinical interventions with trained professionals can be helpful in improving social conversation, they can be costly and are unavailable to many, particularly given the high prevalence of ASD and lack of professional training. The purpose of this study was to assess whether an AI program using a Large Language Model (LLM) would improve verbal empathetic responses during social conversation. Autistic adolescents and adults, 11–35 years of age, who were able to engage in conversation but demonstrated challenges with empathetic responses participated in this study. A randomized clinical trial design was used to assess the effects of the AI program (Noora) compared to a waitlist control group. Noora asks participants to respond to leading statements and provides feedback on their answers. In this study, participants were asked to respond to 10 statements per day 5 days per week for 4 weeks for an expected total of 200 trials. Pre- and post-intervention conversation samples were collected to assess generalization during natural conversation. Additionally pre- and post-intervention questionnaires regarding each participant’s comfort during social conversation and participants’ satisfaction with the AI program were collected. The results of this study demonstrated that empathetic responses could be greatly improved by using an AI program for a short period of time. Participants in the experimental group showed statistically significant improvements in empathetic responses, which generalized to social conversation, compared to the waitlist control group. Some participants in the experimental group reported improved confidence in targeted areas and most reported high levels of satisfaction with the program. These findings suggest that AI using LLMs can be used to improve empathetic responses, thereby providing a time- and cost-efficient support program for improving social conversation in autistic adolescents and adults.

However, these skills often lag behind typical development for autistic people regardless of their cognitive abilities. Autistic adolescents and their caregivers have indicated a desire for more DLS supports. While there are evidence-based practices (EBPs) to teach DLS, autistic adolescents without intellectual disabilities are unlikely to receive DLS instruction in their general education coursework, and caregivers report lacking resources and strategies to teach these skills at home. To address these concerns, we developed an eLearning module series to support caregivers of autistic adolescents without intellectual disabilities in promoting DLS at home. The current single case design study measured the impact of the modules on caregiver fidelity to the EBPs and adolescent independence with self-selected DLS. The study also assessed the social validity of the modules. The results of this study reveal functional relationships between the module series and caregiver fidelity to the EBPs and to adolescent independence with targeted DLS. The caregivers and the adolescents both rated the acceptability, feasibility, and significance of the intervention favorably. These results indicate that the novel eLearning series is a successful and practical way to support autistic adolescents and their families to target and enhance DLS at home.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can help to analyze the aberrant neurological functioning in ASD. However, due to their limited cognitive abilities, ASD individuals with low IQ may face challenges in cooperating during fMRI scanning. Consequently, sedation becomes necessary for them. To analyze and evaluate the sedative efficacy and safety of a single intravenous propofol sedation regimen for ASD individuals with low IQ undergoing fMRI examination. Seventy-seven ASD individuals with low IQ, aged 4 to 23 years, who underwent fMRI examination under propofol sedation, were included. Details of the sedation protocol, evaluation indices for effectiveness such as framewise displacement (FD) and temporal signal-to-noise ratio (tSNR), as well as safety assessment measures including pulse oxygen saturation (SPO2) and blood pressure were collected. Adverse events were also recorded. Data analysis was conducted upon completion of the study. Body movement was observed in 12 patients. The median and quartiles (25th percentile, 75th percentile) of FD was 0.065 (0.057, 0.086) mm, while the tSNR averaged at 89.6 ± 11.4. The image data from sixty-two cases (80.5%) were classified as high quality based on their tSNR surpassing 80. No serious adverse events, such as oxygen desaturation, hypotension, nausea, or vomiting, occurred that necessitated hospitalization. The exclusive propofol intravenous sedation protocol employed in this study demonstrates efficacy and safety for administering fMRI examinations to ASD individuals with low IQ, thereby warranting further investigation and validation towards its adoption in clinical practice.

However, the exact nature of these differences across development compared to non-autistic individuals and their relationship to autism-related social cognition, remains unclear. This study first aimed to identify EEG resting-state network characteristics in autistic versus non-autistic children, adolescents, and adults. Second, we investigated associations with social cognition measures. Analyzing resting-state EEG data from the EU-AIMS Longitudinal European Autism Project, we compared network metrics (global efficiency, clustering coefficient, and small-worldness) between 344 autistic and non-autistic individuals within and across age groups in four frequency bands (delta, theta, alpha, and beta). If significant, we explored their relationships to measures of empathy (empathy quotient), complex emotion recognition [reading the mind in the eyes task (RMET)], and theory of mind (animated shapes task). Compared to their non-autistic peers, autistic adolescents showed lower alpha global efficiency, while autistic adults showed lower alpha clustering and small-worldness. No network differences were observed among children. In adolescents, higher long-range integration was tentatively associated with higher RMET scores; in those with high autistic traits, higher long-range integration related to fewer parent-reported empathic behaviors. No brain-behavior relationships were observed in adults. Our findings suggest subtle differences in network topology between autistic and non-autistic individuals, with less efficient long-range efficiency during adolescence, and less local and overall network efficiency in adulthood. Furthermore, long-range integration may play a role in complex emotion recognition and empathy difficulties associated with autism in adolescence.

Structural Equation Modelling tested a theoretical model of the relationships between these variables, and whether these relationships were moderated by autism diagnosis. Autistic adults self-reported higher ED pathology than non-autistic adults. The proposed model and the strength of the relationship between body image and ED pathology did not differ between the autistic and non-autistic groups. Atypical eating (not related to over-evaluation of weight/shape), however, was only associated with ED pathology in the autistic group. Both traditional and additional factors, including eating disturbances not driven by weight/shape concern, appear to contribute to ED pathology in autism.

The current study outlines the development and evaluation of AutInsight through a pilot randomised controlled trial. Parents (N = 41) of autistic children (10 years and younger) were randomly allocated to AutInsight (n = 20) or care-as-usual (n = 21) and completed online questionnaires across three timepoints (baseline, post-program and 3-month follow-up). Measures include parental sensitivity, parental acceptance and understanding, psychological flexibility, mindful parenting, parental mental health, overall family experience, quality of life, and child behaviours. Intent-to-treat analyses indicated greater rates of improvement for parents allocated to the AutInsight program, with small- to medium-sized effects for parent-reported parental sensitivity (EA-SR mutual attunement d = 0.84, EA-SR child involvement d = 0.50), as well as overall autism family experience (AFEQtotal d = 0.38, AFEQfamily life d = 0.29). Greater rates of improvement were also found in parent-reported child conduct problems (SDQ d = 0.62) and prosocial behaviours (SDQ d = 0.48). No significant results were found in observed parental sensitivity or any other measure. Results suggest preliminary evidence of effectiveness, feasibility and acceptability of the AutInsight program. A larger, fully powered trial is warranted. This trial was prospectively registered with the Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (Trial ID: ACTRN12623000806662).

Teacher-Student Interactions of Autistic Adolescents: Relationships between Teacher Autonomy Support, Structure, Involvement and Student Engagement / Fernanda ESQUEDA VILLEGAS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-7 (July 2026)

Few studies have focused on autistic secondary school students and even fewer have used observations to analyze their interactions. In this research, we aimed to understand the interaction dynamics between autistic students and their teachers in the Netherlands and Mexico; two countries committed to inclusive education. Six teacher-student dyads from five mainstream secondary schools in the Netherlands and seven teacher-student dyads from one school in Mexico participated. We used a fine-grained observational method to describe the classroom interactions, systematically coded from the lens of Self-Determination Theory. To study the interaction as a whole and co-occurring teacher and student behaviors (rather than breaking it down into separate parts), we used State Space Grids. Teacher-student interactions varied widely. In general, Dutch and Mexican teachers provided much structure in the classroom, which (in many cases) coincided with the active engagement of autistic students. At the same time, autistic students in both countries received little autonomy-support. However, when these students received autonomy-support, they responded with more engagement. In contrast, both engaged and disengaged student behaviors occurred when the teacher showed involvement. The desired patterns of interaction were not observed in all teacher-student pairs. Our findings indicate that teachers in both countries are missing opportunities to be autonomy-supportive. This contextual factor was minimally observed in the teacher-student interactions, particularly when compared to the levels of structure and involvement provided during lessons.

This study examined longitudinal trajectories of maternal stress for mothers with ID and borderline intellectual functioning (IF) compared to their peers without ID, over their children’s ages. Additionally, it aimed to identify the impact of various individual, socioeconomic, and contextual factors on maternal stress. We used public data from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS) between Years 1–15. Using mixed-effects multilevel modeling, we analyzed changes in, and predictors of maternal stress over time for mothers with ID (n = 89), borderline IF (n = 346), and without ID (n = 1,898). Maternal stress was especially high for mothers with ID and borderline IF when their children were ages 1–3. Across Years 1–15, mothers with ID and borderline IF reported higher levels of maternal stress compared to mothers without ID. Mothers who reported receipt of Social Security Income (SSI), greater levels of material hardship, and more children in the household reported higher maternal stress, whereas those who identified as Hispanic, were employed, married/partnered, and had greater social support reported lower maternal stress. Mothers with ID and borderline IF may experience elevated levels of chronic maternal stress when compared to their peers without ID. Effective early interventions, supportive programs, and policies that are tailored for mothers with ID and borderline IF who have younger children may be especially needed.

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness, implementation, and acceptability of a program to support self-determination for young adults with autism in Spain. A multicenter, mixed methods randomized controlled trial (RCT) study was conducted (2020–2022). Young adults with autism between 17 and 30 years of age were recruited, and 40 were randomly assigned to the intervention or waiting-list group. Quantitative and qualitative data on outcomes relating to self-determination, program implementation and acceptability were collected at baseline, during, and after the intervention using several tools, including the SDI: SR and focus groups. Joint displays were used to integrate the quantitative and qualitative results for a comprehensive evaluation of the program. The quantitative results revealed no significant differences between the intervention and waiting list groups but indicated positive impacts on agentic actions and overall self-determination as reported by participants and caregivers. The qualitative results expanded the quantitative results by identifying personal and contextual barriers and facilitators of self-determination while offering deeper insights into the quantitative outcomes. Implementation fidelity was high, and the qualitative data provided areas for improvement and identified challenges and best practices. Program acceptability was high, and the group format proved useful. Our study provides the first empirical evidence of an intervention designed to promote self-determination in individuals with autism in Spain, but further research is needed. This trial was retrospectively registered at www.clinicaltrial.org(NCT05938751) on January 1st, 2023.

This study examined whether the benefits of neurodiversity training coupled with diagnostic disclosure extend to the general population and persist over time. Participants included undergraduate students and individuals from the general U.S. population recruited through Prolific. They completed neurodiversity training either two weeks or two months before reviewing taped interviews of job candidates with and without ASD. They rated candidates on several social dimensions (e.g., trustworthiness, likeability, awkwardness) and indicated how likely they were to hire each candidate. Although candidates with ASD were rated less favorably on some social characteristics (e.g., awkwardness, similarity) relative to NT candidates, they were rated similarly on other dimensions (e.g., trustworthiness), and at both delays were just as likely to be hired as NT candidates. These findings suggest that evaluators who engage in neurodiversity training and receive diagnostic information about ASD candidates are favorably inclined to hire ASD candidates, and this positive disposition towards ASD candidates persists for several months after neurodiversity training.

KENDALL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2685-2696 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : For Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to best meet the specific needs of autistic youth with co-occurring anxiety and to continue to grow as a sustainable treatment option, it is important to incorporate caregiver perspectives and feedback. Data were drawn from a randomized controlled trial and included 148 caregivers of autistic youth (ages 7–13 years, M = 9.89, SD = 1.79; 23% female; 77.7% White) with co-occurring anxiety disorders randomized to one of two active treatment conditions (Coping Cat, n = 72, or Behavioral Interventions for Anxiety in Children with Autism [BIACA], n = 76). A systematic inductive thematic analysis was used to code open-ended parent responses on the Consumer Satisfaction Questionnaire to identify what caregivers of autistic children with co-occurring anxiety liked most and least about their child’s treatment. Satisfaction with treatment was high (M = 64.98, SD = 5.48). Caregivers’ most-liked treatment features across treatments included (a) tools and coping skills, (b) therapeutic alliance, (c) caregiver support and involvement, (d) personalized treatment, and (e) treatment efficacy. Least-liked features of treatment and family participation included (a) the commute to the clinic, (b) treatment length, (c) commitment required at home, (d) questionnaires, and (e) scheduling.

Data were drawn from a randomized controlled trial and included 148 caregivers of autistic youth (ages 7–13 years, M = 9.89, SD = 1.79; 23% female; 77.7% White) with co-occurring anxiety disorders randomized to one of two active treatment conditions (Coping Cat, n = 72, or Behavioral Interventions for Anxiety in Children with Autism [BIACA], n = 76). A systematic inductive thematic analysis was used to code open-ended parent responses on the Consumer Satisfaction Questionnaire to identify what caregivers of autistic children with co-occurring anxiety liked most and least about their child’s treatment. Satisfaction with treatment was high (M = 64.98, SD = 5.48). Caregivers’ most-liked treatment features across treatments included (a) tools and coping skills, (b) therapeutic alliance, (c) caregiver support and involvement, (d) personalized treatment, and (e) treatment efficacy. Least-liked features of treatment and family participation included (a) the commute to the clinic, (b) treatment length, (c) commitment required at home, (d) questionnaires, and (e) scheduling. Treatment responders endorsed therapeutic alliance more frequently. Caregivers in BIACA endorsed caregiver support and involvement at higher rates, in addition to commitment required at home. Caregiver responses indicated a preference for more sessions and highlighted the importance of balancing need for caregiver involvement in treatment while reducing caregiver burden.

A Systematic Review of Family Accommodation in Autistic Youth: Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Restricted and Repetitive Behaviors / Justine BRENNAN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-7 (July 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-7 (July 2026) . - p.2697-2709 Titre : A Systematic Review of Family Accommodation in Autistic Youth: Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Restricted and Repetitive Behaviors Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Justine BRENNAN, Auteur ; Maria J. VELASQUEZ, Auteur ; Thompson E. DAVIS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2697-2709 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Family accommodation (FA) is a term describing the change in behavior seen in parents and caregivers as they attempt to effect change in their child or adolescent’s anxious behavior—usually by allowing avoidance, attempting distraction, or attempting to manage distress. FA has been well-documented in children and adolescents with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders; however, there has been less summarized on the degree to which autistic youth and families engage in accommodation. This review aims to establish the phenomenology of FA in autistic youth related to comorbid anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs). This review also aims to summarize how FA is currently addressed in treatment within this population. Using PRISMA guidelines, peer-reviewed articles were included if (a) participants included caregivers of autistic youth, (b) there was a clearly delineated autism participant group, and (c) at least one quantitative outcome measure of FA was included. Seventeen articles were included in the review. Several themes emerged including (1) high rates of FA in autistic youth across OCD, anxiety, and RRBs, (2) some form of parental involvement in treatment, and (3) decreased rates of FA post-treatment. Overall, family accommodation appears to be present to at least the same degree, if not more so, in families of anxious autistic children and adolescents as their non-autistic but anxious counterparts. Family accommodation also often appears to be an important consideration with treatments for anxiety and OCD in autistic youth.

Autistic youth may be particularly impacted due to unique service needs and limited services available within the system. To date, there is limited literature specific to treatment attendance in autistic populations receiving behavioral services. This study examines prevalence, predictors of, and reasons for missed appointments in an outpatient clinic specializing in addressing behavioral concerns. This retrospective case review examines missed appointments in a sample of 306 autistic youths from an outpatient clinic from 2019 to 2022. An average of 5.2 appointments were cancelled and 9.0 were completed, resulting in an average individual cancellation rate of 38%. Statistically significant predictors of no shows and patient cancellations were younger age and a post-COVID appointment. The most common reasons for missed appointments was sickness, scheduling conflict, insurance authorization issues, and family emergency. Missed appointments may be common in outpatient behavioral settings for autistic youth. Resolving issues related to cancellations (e.g., sleep concerns), identifying families in need of targeted support strategies (e.g., assistance and flexibility with scheduling, transportation support), and advocating for systemic change may help meet the multifaceted needs of this population.

Online databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane were searched to identify published records that reported a diagnostic yield for children with developmental regression. Random effects meta-analyses were performed using R software with meta package. Our search identified 11,283 published records, of which 347 were assessed for eligibility, and 15 (596 children) were included in the final systematic review and meta-analysis. Subgroup analysis assessed the diagnostic yield for investigating children with different presentations and developmental regression. Diagnostic yield results were 68% for children with neurological symptoms (two records, six children, 95%CI 32–100) and children with epileptic symptoms (two records, 56 children, 95%CI 15–100); 40% for children with neurodevelopmental delay (six records, 294 children, 95%CI 3–78); 9% for autistic children (three records, 138 children, 95%CI 0–26). Pooled analysis could not be completed for metabolic (one record, 29 children) or genetic presentations (one record, 73 children). The diagnostic yield for genetic/genomic investigations (six records, 142 children, 95%CI, 47–92) was 70%, compared with 28% for metabolic (five records, 286 children, 95%CI 0–64), 13% for neurophysiological (two records, 127 children, 95%CI 0–39) and 6% for neuroimaging (two records, 41 children, 95%CI 0–20). Investigations for children with developmental regression and neurological or epileptic symptoms resulted in the highest diagnostic yield. These results are clinically meaningful and will inform future research to advance towards an agreed investigative approach yet lack statistical significance due to small samples.

Following the PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple databases, yielding 2,103 studies, from which 25 met inclusion criteria. The primary outcome measure was caries prevalence, analyzed through clinical assessments. Risk of bias was evaluated using an adapted Newcastle–Ottawa Scale. Statistical analysis was performed with Review Manager, using random-effects models to account for heterogeneity, which was assessed with I2. Meta-analyses revealed no significant differences between groups for most caries indicators, such as DMFT and dmft indices. However, the mean Caries Per Surface (DMFS) index was significantly higher in ASD patients, suggesting greater caries severity. Our study found a significant difference in dental caries severity between children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and those without ASD, through the DMFS index.

A gap in knowledge exists regarding the associations between chronic stress and mental and physical health of parents of young children with ASD, in which fathers have been understudied. In 181 parents (98 mothers, 83 fathers) of 99 young children with ASD chronic stress was measured using parental self-report and hair cortisol concentration (HCC) analysis. Parental mental health and eating behavior was measured using questionnaires. Physical health was evaluated by Body Mass Index, waist circumference, blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose.. Parental HCC was related with child HCC (rmothers = 0.51, p <.01; rfathers = 0.40, p <.01). Maternal HCC was associated with lower reported parenting stress (r = −.33, p <.01). Parental mental health problems and reported parenting stress were strongly related (r =.55-0.61, p <.01). Mental health problems were twice as frequent as in the norm-population (41.1–45.8% versus 20%). In both parents, reported parenting stress was associated with emotional eating behavior. HCC was associated with higher glucose levels in mothers. There were no associations between chronic stress and the other physical health measures in mothers and fathers. Parents of young children with ASD are at high risk for chronic stress, with impact for their mental and physical health. Additionally, chronic stress of parents, cannot be perceived isolated from the stress in their children with ASD. We encourage future research to investigate whether these correlations are generalizable to the whole ASD population.

One hundred and seven parents (70 mothers, 37 fathers) of male children with ASD, completed several questionnaires, including a demographic questionnaire; the Childhood Autism Rating Scale, the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, the revised Stress- Related Growth Scale, The Implicit Self-Theories Scale, and the Stress Mindset Scale. Seventy- two parents were randomly assigned to an “intervention group”, and 35 to a comparison group. Members of the intervention group participated in a short synergic growth mindset intervention, created especially for this research. Six months after the intervention, all participants re-completed the same questionnaires. The intervention significantly increased growth mindset and SRG and decreased parental stress. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a short-term intervention in promoting growth mindsets, reducing parental stress, and fostering SRG among parents of children with a chronic disorder. These findings are particularly important since many parents of children with chronic disorders often exhibit fixed mindset patterns due to their children’s slow progress in various developmental domains.

The Vocational and Educational Index: An Update to the Vocational Index to Reflect Contemporary Postsecondary Educational Options for Autistic Adults / Julie Lounds TAYLOR in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-7 (July 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-7 (July 2026) . - p.2780-2789 Titre : The Vocational and Educational Index: An Update to the Vocational Index to Reflect Contemporary Postsecondary Educational Options for Autistic Adults Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Julie Lounds TAYLOR, Auteur ; Sarah Roberts CARLSON, Auteur ; Leann Smith DAWALT, Auteur ; Meghan M. BURKE, Auteur ; Grace A. HERBERT, Auteur ; Marsha R. MAILICK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2780-2789 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Vocational Index, a tool to reliably capture the range of vocational and educational activities in which adults with autism engage, is regularly used in studies of adult outcomes in autism. However, recently it has been noted that there are some activities (primarily postsecondary education options) that were infrequently available when the index was developed and thus are not fully represented in the current categories. The purpose of this report is to describe the process and results of updating the Vocational Index coding categories to reflect this wider range of activities. An iterative process was used to develop updated codes (called the Vocational and Educational Index). The original Vocational Index and updated Vocational and Educational Index codes were applied to a sample of 384 autistic young adults, and differences between original and updated codes were described. The major changes to the codes involved the development of a parallel educational dimension, benchmarked to the vocational dimension in level of integration, supports, and number of hours. Applying original Vocational Index and updated Vocational and Educational Index codes resulted in few differences in the overall distribution of codes but provided additional information about the contribution of vocational versus educational activities to the overall code. Limitations of the Vocational and Educational Index and future directions for research are discussed.

However, recently it has been noted that there are some activities (primarily postsecondary education options) that were infrequently available when the index was developed and thus are not fully represented in the current categories. The purpose of this report is to describe the process and results of updating the Vocational Index coding categories to reflect this wider range of activities. An iterative process was used to develop updated codes (called the Vocational and Educational Index). The original Vocational Index and updated Vocational and Educational Index codes were applied to a sample of 384 autistic young adults, and differences between original and updated codes were described. The major changes to the codes involved the development of a parallel educational dimension, benchmarked to the vocational dimension in level of integration, supports, and number of hours. Applying original Vocational Index and updated Vocational and Educational Index codes resulted in few differences in the overall distribution of codes but provided additional information about the contribution of vocational versus educational activities to the overall code. Limitations of the Vocational and Educational Index and future directions for research are discussed.

Autistic Burnout on Reddit: A Sisyphean Struggle with Daily Tasks / Megan M. CLAREY in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-7 (July 2026)

While research to date has chiefly relied on structured interviews and Delphi studies, it has focused on defining and measuring burnout. What is missing from the research is an analysis of the broader experiences of autistic burnout, and the very real implications that autistic people face when impacted by it. This study reviewed the narratives of autistic people discussing their experiences of autistic burnout on the social media platform Reddit. Using data scraped from Reddit, quantitative and qualitative analyses were undertaken to elicit meaning from the online discourse. After analysing 249 Reddit threads using quantitative content analysis, the results supported existing research identifying three core components of autistic burnout, those being: chronic exhaustion; increased sensory sensitivities; and social withdrawal. New insights were found with users reporting physiological ailments as a complicating factor in their burnout experience. The research also found evidence supporting suggested treatment options for autistic burnout including reducing/stopping social obligations, reducing sensory inputs as much as possible, and time spent alone to reset and recharge. Most importantly, users identified that being autonomous in their recovery choices was critical to the success of their recovery.

Studies are inconclusive about whether sibling mental health is best predicted by the specific diagnoses of the child with disorder or by transdiagnostic factors. The aims of the present study were (1) to examine if specific diagnoses predicted sibling mental health, and (2) to examine if disorder severity in the child with the chronic disorder predicted sibling mental health. Baseline data from a randomized controlled trial were used. Siblings (aged 8 – 16 years) of children with chronic disorders and their parents were recruited from eight municipality and hospital clinics (N = 288). The children with chronic disorders were placed in ICD-10 diagnostic categories based on combined parent report and clinical records. Regression analyses with the most frequent primary diagnoses (ADHD, Asperger syndrome, autism, down syndrome, rare disorders) and a measure of disorder severity as predictors of sibling mental health were run. Father-reported disorder severity predicted sibling-reported internalizing problems and father-reported internalizing and externalizing problems in siblings. Mother-reported disorder severity predicted mother-reported sibling internalizing problems. No single primary diagnosis predicted sibling internalizing or externalizing problems. Disorder severity does to an extent predict sibling mental health, whereas single diagnostic categories do not. Disorder severity may be used to identify siblings at risk and/or in need of interventions. Fathers should be included in assessment and health care for siblings as their reports seem to predict sibling mental health better than the mothers.

We interviewed intervention experts (n = 10), community providers (n = 22), and caregivers (n = 12) about their knowledge and experiences with a parent-mediated intervention (Project ImPACT), guided by the Theory of Change Framework. Qualitative interviews were transcribed and coded using the Framework Method and causation coding. We developed a comprehensive causal model which describes how both learning and motivational processes contribute to caregivers’ implementation of the intervention, as well as broader outcomes with regard to sustainment, quality of life, advocacy, and goals and expectations. We also identified aspects of service need and contextual fit which inform the broader context for our theory of change. This study identified two mechanistic processes by which caregiver coaching impacts relevant short- and long-term caregiver and family outcomes, informed by practice-based knowledge. In the future, these findings can be used to guide empirical research that directly tests the mechanistic processes underlying effective parent-mediated interventions for young autistic children.

However, discrepancies within parent-child dyads, specifically comparing parent-reports to child self-reports, can cloud interpretation from assessments and hinder support planning. This study examines discrepancies in parent-youth perceptions of adaptive functioning, focusing on the social domain, and investigates associations among parents, youth, and independent ratings, considering factors like IQ, autism severity, and parental education. The study included 132 individuals (66 autistic, 66 non-autistic) aged 16–24 years. Adaptive functioning was measured using the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System-3 across the conceptual, practical, and social domains. Agreement between reporters was assessed using paired-sample t-tests, intraclass-correlations, and Bland-Altman plots. Spearman’s correlations examined associations between raters, while the effects of IQ, autism severity, and parental education on discrepancies were analyzed using linear regression. Autistic self- and parent-reports showed lower adaptive functioning than non-autistic dyads. Autistic youth reported higher social and less practical adaptive skills compared to parents. Autistic self-reports in the social domain correlated significantly with independent assessment. Increased autistic symptoms were associated with greater parent-child discrepancies. This study underscores the importance of multi-informant assessments to understand the full range of adaptive functioning in autistic individuals. Discrepancies in social and practical domains highlight the need for both perspectives, because parents may not observe all behaviors and may overlook autistic individuals’ perception of support needs in the practical domain. Understanding these differences is crucial for improving supports planning and enhancing quality of life for autistic individuals.

This study sought to characterize the online processing of grammatical aspect in a diverse sample of Mandarin-acquiring autistic children. Forty-six 3–6-year-old autistic children, further divided into high (N = 23) and low verbal subgroups (N = 23) based on their expressive vocabulary levels, were assessed via Intermodal Preferential Looking (IPL). Children viewed side-by-side renditions of the same event, one of which was ongoing, while the other was completed, paired with familiar verbs with the perfective aspect le or the durative aspect zhe. Both high and low verbal autistic groups demonstrated robust comprehension of le and zhe. Similar to TD children, autistic children in each group showed processing facilities upon the initial presentation of the zhe test audio, but they may be less efficient at le processing. Moreover, the comprehension degree of grammatical aspect correlated negatively with their autism severity scores for the total autistic group; the processing efficiency correlated positively with the production of grammatical aspect for the total and low verbal autistic groups. The findings confirm the strength of processing grammatical aspect in subsamples of preschoolers with autism spanning a wide range of language functioning, suggesting that young autistic group across languages could surmount at least some challenges of aspect acquisition, such as delayed expressive language skills and pragmatic deficits. Additionally, the influencing factors provided insight into the informing intervention strategies that are optimally, developmentally timed.

Relations Between Social Camouflaging, Life Satisfaction, and Depression Among Polish Women with ADHD / Fryderyka WICHERKIEWICZ in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-7 (July 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-7 (July 2026) . - p.2875-2883 Titre : Relations Between Social Camouflaging, Life Satisfaction, and Depression Among Polish Women with ADHD Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Fryderyka WICHERKIEWICZ, Auteur ; Małgorzata GAMBIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2875-2883 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: This study investigated the relationship between social camouflaging, life satisfaction, and depression symptoms in Polish women with ADHD. It aimed to fill a research gap in understanding ADHD manifestations in women, particularly focusing on social camouflaging—a concept known in autism, referring to strategies used to mask symptoms in social interactions. Methods: A total of 329 women with ADHD took part in an online survey. The survey measured ADHD symptoms using the ADHD Self Report Scale (ASRS-vI.I), life satisfaction with the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), and depressive symptoms using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Additionally, a novel set of questions, inspired by the Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q) but tailored for ADHD, was utilized to assess social camouflaging. Results: Results indicated a significant negative association between social camouflaging and life satisfaction and a positive correlation with depressive symptoms, even after controlling for demographic variables. Additionally, factors like being in a relationship and having a positive subjective financial situation correlated with higher well-being. Limitations: Reliance on self-report measures, the cross-sectional design, and participants’ self-reported ADHD diagnosis are the main limitations of the study. Conclusion: The research underscores the importance of social camouflaging in understanding ADHD in women, suggesting that efforts to mask symptoms and meet societal expectations may link to lower life satisfaction and increased depressive symptoms. These findings advocate for continued research into these dynamics to develop more effective support for women with ADHD.

It aimed to fill a research gap in understanding ADHD manifestations in women, particularly focusing on social camouflaging—a concept known in autism, referring to strategies used to mask symptoms in social interactions. Methods: A total of 329 women with ADHD took part in an online survey. The survey measured ADHD symptoms using the ADHD Self Report Scale (ASRS-vI.I), life satisfaction with the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), and depressive symptoms using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Additionally, a novel set of questions, inspired by the Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q) but tailored for ADHD, was utilized to assess social camouflaging. Results: Results indicated a significant negative association between social camouflaging and life satisfaction and a positive correlation with depressive symptoms, even after controlling for demographic variables. Additionally, factors like being in a relationship and having a positive subjective financial situation correlated with higher well-being. Limitations: Reliance on self-report measures, the cross-sectional design, and participants’ self-reported ADHD diagnosis are the main limitations of the study. Conclusion: The research underscores the importance of social camouflaging in understanding ADHD in women, suggesting that efforts to mask symptoms and meet societal expectations may link to lower life satisfaction and increased depressive symptoms. These findings advocate for continued research into these dynamics to develop more effective support for women with ADHD.
