Titre : An exploration of the judgement of sexual situations by adolescents with autism spectrum disorders versus typically developing adolescents Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kirsten VISSER, Auteur ; Kirstin GREAVES-LORD, Auteur ; Nouchka T. TICK, Auteur ; Frank C. VERHULST, Auteur ; Athanasios MARAS, Auteur ; Esther J. M. VAN DER VEGT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.35-43 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD Psychosexual development Adolescence Inappropriate sexual behaviour Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Inappropriate sexual behaviour, sexual problems and sexual victimization in adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is regularly reported in previous research, but little is known about factors associated with these problems, nor about factors associated with a healthy sexuality development in adolescents with ASD. Investigating the judgement of sexual behaviour can be a first step in acquiring insight into inappropriate sexual behaviour in adolescents with ASD. Methods We assessed how 94 cognitively-able adolescents with ASD and 94 typically developing (TD) adolescents judged the appropriateness of different illustrations of sexual situations and we investigated the differences between the two groups. Results The highest level of agreement between the judgements of adolescents with ASD and the judgements of an expert panel was found for severely inappropriate sexual behaviours (89.2%) and the lowest agreement was found for appropriate (31.7%) and slightly inappropriate sexual behaviours (26.1%). No significant differences were found between the judgements of the adolescents with ASD and the TD adolescents. Regarding the divergent judgements, adolescents with and without ASD were mostly more strict (i.e., more conservative) than the expert panel in their judgement of sexual situations. Finally, a small percentage of adolescents with and without ASD showed milder (i.e., less conservative) judgements of sexual situations portraying behaviour that was considered severely inappropriate by an expert panel. Conclusions Our findings showed that, overall, judgement of illustrations of sexual situations does not seem to be hampered in adolescents with ASD. More research is needed to clarify whether this also holds true for their judgements of – and actions in – more complex real life situations.

BAKERMANS-KRANENBURG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1075-1087 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract This study assessed attachment representation and attachment-related autonomic regulation in a sample of 38 maltreating and 35 nonmaltreating mothers. Mothers’ state of mind regarding attachment was measured using the Adult Attachment Interview. They further watched an attachment-based comfort paradigm, during which we measured skin conductance and vagal tone. More maltreating mothers (42%) than nonmaltreating mothers (17%) had an unresolved/disoriented attachment classification. Attachment representation was related to physiology during the comfort paradigm: an unresolved state of mind and a nonautonomous classification were associated with a decrease in skin conductance during the comfort paradigm, specifically during the responsive caregiver scenario. However, physiology did not differ between maltreating and nonmaltreating mothers. The decrease in skin conductance of unresolved mothers during the comfort paradigm might be indicative of a deactivating response, which is congruent with the dissociative nature of the unresolved state of mind. The results point to the potential utility of interventions focused on attachment representations for maltreating mothers.

Based on information from the short version of the Developmental, Dimensional and Diagnostic Interview and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, 130 children (106 boys and 24 girls) received a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed., text rev.) criteria and 101 children (61 boys and 40 girls) did not. Higher overall levels of parent-reported repetitive and restricted behavior symptoms were less predictive of an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis in girls than in boys (odds ratio interaction=0.41, 95% confidence interval=0.18?0.92, p=0.03). In contrast, higher overall levels of parent-reported emotional and behavioral problems increased the probability of an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis more in girls than in boys (odds ratio interaction=2.44, 95% confidence interval=1.13?5.29, p=0.02). No differences were found between girls and boys in the prediction of an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis by overall autistic impairment, sensory symptoms, and cognitive functioning. These findings provide insight into possible explanations for the assumed underidentification of autism spectrum disorder in girls in the clinic.

Therefore, an individual training program was developed; the Tackling Teenage Training (TTT) program. The current pilot study systematically evaluated whether psychosexual knowledge increased after taking part in the TTT program, using a pre- and post-training design in 30 adolescents with ASD (77 % male, mean age = 14.80 years, mean intelligence = 96.96). Psychosexual knowledge increased significantly (pre-training total score: M = 25.74, SD = 6.20; post-training total score: M = 33.52 (SD = 2.78); F(1,29) = 65.20, p < .001). The TTT program may be useful to improve psychosexual knowledge and functioning in adolescents with ASD, yet these findings are preliminary, and a more elaborate controlled trial is needed.

This study describes (1) the development of a new measure of psychosexual functioning in both parent- and self-reports (Teen Transition Inventory; TTI) covering all three domains of psychosexual functioning (i.e. psychosexual socialization, psychosexual selfhood, and sexual/intimate behavior). And (2) the initial testing of this instrument, comparing adolescents with ASD (n?=?79 parent-report; n?=?58 self-report) to Typically Developing (TD) adolescents (n?=?131 parent-report; n?=?91 self-report) while taking into account gender as a covariate. Results from both informants indicate more difficulties regarding psychosexual socialization and psychosexual selfhood in the ASD group. With regard to sexual/intimate behavior, only parents reported significantly more problems in adolescents with ASD.
