Autism voices: Perspectives of the needs, challenges, and hopes for the future of autistic youth / Rackeb TESFAYE in Autism, 27-4 (May 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 27-4 (May 2023) . - p.1142-1156 Titre : Autism voices: Perspectives of the needs, challenges, and hopes for the future of autistic youth Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rackeb TESFAYE, Auteur ; Valérie COURCHESNE, Auteur ; Pat MIRENDA, Auteur ; Wendy MITCHELL, Auteur ; David NICHOLAS, Auteur ; Ilina SINGH, Auteur ; Lonnie ZWAIGENBAUM, Auteur ; Mayada ELSABBAGH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1142-1156 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescence,first-person perspective,inclusive methods,qualitative research,strength-based Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Autism Voices study draws on novel inclusive methods to obtain the first-person experiences of autistic youth with a range of cognitive and verbal abilities. Thirty-one autistic youth were interviewed with a strength-based protocol, enabling them to provide responses in the modality of their choice. Dynamics between youth and their environments such as home, school, and community were explored. Youth were questioned about their interests, plans for the future, experiences with various emotions, and experience of autism. Based on a thematic analysis, six themes emerged: (1) autistic identities, (2) thinking about the future, (3) seeking social connection on their own terms, (4) seeking autonomy, (5) school as both a stressor and social facilitator, and (6) experiences of stress and anxiety. The experiences described by autistic youth parallel many of the aspirations and challenges of typically developing adolescents, while being uniquely shaped by their autism. We discuss how these insights shared by autistic youth can facilitate active involvement in their communities, promote well-being, and promote optimal transition into adulthood. Autism Voices demonstrates that partnering with multiple stakeholders and the use of inclusive methodologies are pivotal steps toward capturing the voices of all autistic youth.Lay abstractCurrently, our understanding of the adolescent period for autistic youth has relied on the expertise of researchers, clinicians, parents, and teachers, yet rarely involves their unique first-person experiences. Our study attempted to understand the experiences and perspectives of autistic adolescents in their home, school, and community environments using the Autism Voices protocol, a semi-structured interview specifically designed and tailored to engage with autistic youth with various language and intellectual levels. The analysis of the 31 interviews conducted with autistic adolescents aged 11-18?years highlighted six themes: (1) autistic identities, (2) thinking about the future, (3) seeking social connection on their own terms, (4) seeking autonomy, (5) school as both a stressor and social facilitator, and (6) experiences of stress and anxiety. These results highlight similarities and differences in the adolescent experiences of autistic youth compared to their typically developing peers. Our findings suggest that by removing assumptions about the experiences of autistic individuals and investing in inclusive interview methods, we can faithfully capture the experiences of autistic youth regardless of their communication and cognitive abilities. Being able to capture and amplify these diverse voices will facilitate the active involvement of autistic communities in research and clinical and policy decisions that impact them.

Cadê o Kauê? Co-design and acceptability testing of a chat-story aimed at enhancing youth participation in the promotion of mental health in Brazil / Sheila Giardini MURTA ; Josimar Antônio de Alcântara MENDES ; Felipe Rodrigues SISTON ; Rafa Ribeiro Alves DE SOUZA ; Rafaela DE OLIVEIRA DA CUNHA ; Julyana ALVES FERREIRA ; Victor Hugo de Lima DE SANTOS ; Brenda Thallys Rocha SEABRA ; TALK2U ; Ilina SINGH in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 66-5 (May 2025)

This paper discusses the co-design and acceptability testing of a chat-story intervention to enhance Brazilian adolescents' participation in the promotion of mental health in their peer communities. We specifically highlight the iterative process of co-creating this intervention with community stakeholders. Methods The co-design was led by researchers, a youth collaborative group, and health-tech experts. Part 1 included quantitative (n?=?1,768) and qualitative (n?=?46) studies with Brazilian adolescents aged 15?18 for priority-setting. Part 2 involved co-creation and technical production, with input from youth advisors (n?=?24), school staff (n?=?11), and policy experts (n?=?3). In Part 3, the chat-story was user tested (n?=?32). Parts 4 and 5 assessed acceptability through a qualitative study in schools (n?=?138) and initial efficacy during an online campaign (n?=?795). Results Participants aspired to support their peers' mental health in schools, both one-to-one and collectively, but felt unprepared. This informed the chat-story's goal of enhancing peer support and collective action skills. Themes identified during Part 1, such as prejudice and academic pressure, were woven into the narrative to raise awareness of the social determinants of mental health, drawing from real-life stories. In the final story, players search for their missing best friend at school, uncovering his anxiety struggles and practicing skills such as empathic listening and partnership building. A manual for teachers was collaboratively designed for use within school settings, supplementing direct-to-user online applications. Acceptability testing showed participants found the tool authentic and user-friendly. Online users perceived the tool as preparing and motivating them to offer peer support and engage in collective action. Conclusions The immersive co-creation model, enriched by input from key stakeholders, yielded a relevant and well-received intervention for Brazilian adolescents. Co-designed creative tools like chat-stories hold promise as digital mental health tools, fostering awareness, critical reflection, and inspiring adolescents to drive positive social change.
