Anxiety in Asperger’s syndrome: Assessment in real time / Dougal J. HARE in Autism, 19-5 (July 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 19-5 (July 2015) . - p.542-552 Titre : Anxiety in Asperger’s syndrome: Assessment in real time Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Dougal J. HARE, Auteur ; Christopher WOOD, Auteur ; Sarah WASTELL, Auteur ; Paul SKIRROW, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.542-552 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : anxiety  Asperger’s syndrome  cognitive processes  experience sampling methodology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Anxiety is a major problem for many people with Asperger’s syndrome who may have qualitatively different fears from a non-Asperger’s syndrome population. Research has relied on measures developed for non-Asperger’s syndrome populations that require reporting past experiences of anxiety, which may confound assessment in people with Asperger’s syndrome due to problems with autobiographical memory as are often reported in this group.Experience sampling methodology was used to record real-time everyday experiences in 20 adults with Asperger’s syndrome and 20 neurotypical adults. Within-subject analysis was used to explore the phenomenology of thoughts occurring in people with Asperger’s syndrome when they were anxious. Comparisons were made with the group that did not have Asperger’s syndrome. The Asperger’s syndrome group were significantly more anxious than the comparison group. Factors associated with feelings of anxiety in the Asperger’s syndrome group were high levels of self-focus, worries about everyday events and periods of rumination lasting over 10 min. People in the Asperger’s syndrome group also had a tendency to think in the image form, but this was not associated with feelings of anxiety. The results are discussed with reference to psychological models of Asperger’s syndrome, cognitive models of anxiety and implications for psychological therapy for this group.

Anxiety in high-functioning autism: A pilot study of experience sampling using a mobile platform / Dougal Julian HARE in Autism, 20-6 (August 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 20-6 (August 2016) . - p.730-743 Titre : Anxiety in high-functioning autism: A pilot study of experience sampling using a mobile platform Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Dougal Julian HARE, Auteur ; Carolyn GRACEY, Auteur ; Christopher WOOD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.730-743 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : anxiety  autism spectrum disorders  interventions  psychosocial/behavioural technology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Anxiety and stress are everyday issues for many people with high-functioning autism, and while cognitive-behavioural therapy is the treatment of choice for the management of anxiety, there are challenges in using it with people with high-functioning autism. This study used modified experience sampling techniques to examine everyday anxiety and stress in adults with high-functioning autism and to explore the feasibility of delivering real-time stress management techniques using a mobile platform. High levels of anxiety were found to be characterised by worry, confusing thoughts and being alone but was not associated with internal focus, imagery or rumination. Participants reported improved mood and less worry and anxious thinking in the active phase of the study. These results support previous studies indicating that people with high-functioning autism differ in their experience of anxiety and provided preliminary data on the feasibility of real-time stress management. The limitations of this approach are discussed together with considerations for future work in the area of developing clinical interventions on mobile platforms.
