Experiences of dental care and dental anxiety in adults with autism spectrum disorder / My BLOMQVIST in Autism Research and Treatment, 2014 (2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research and Treatment > 2014 (2014) Titre : Experiences of dental care and dental anxiety in adults with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : My BLOMQVIST, Auteur ; G. DAHLLOF, Auteur ; Susanne BEJEROT, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Dental anxiety is associated with previous distressing dental experiences, such as lack of understanding of the dentist intentions, perceptions of uncontrollability and experiences of pain during dental treatment. People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are impaired in building flexible predictions and expectations, which is very much needed during a dental visit. The aims of the study were to investigate if people with ASD have more negative dental experiences and a higher level of dental anxiety compared to a matched control group. Forty-seven adults with ASD and of normal intellectual performance, and 69 age- and sex-matched typically developing controls completed questionnaires on previous dental experiences and dental anxiety, the Dental Anxiety Scale, and the Dental Beliefs Survey. The ASD group experienced pain during dental treatments more often than the controls and 22% had repeatedly experienced being forced to dental treatment they were not prepared for, compared to 3% of the controls. A higher level of dental anxiety was reported by the ASD group. Dental treatment and methods for supporting the communication with patients with ASD need to be developed, in order to reduce the negative dental experiences and dental anxiety in people with ASD.

High self-perceived stress and poor coping in intellectually able adults with autism spectrum disorder / Tatja HIRVIKOSKI in Autism, 19-6 (August 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 19-6 (August 2015) . - p.752-757 Titre : High self-perceived stress and poor coping in intellectually able adults with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Tatja HIRVIKOSKI, Auteur ; My BLOMQVIST, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.752-757 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults  Asperger syndrome  autism spectrum disorder  autistic traits  coping  high-functioning autism  perceived stress  stress Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Despite average intellectual capacity, autistic traits may complicate performance in many everyday situations, thus leading to stress. This study focuses on stress in everyday life in intellectually able adults with autism spectrum disorders. In total, 53 adults (25 with autism spectrum disorder and 28 typical adults from the general population) completed the Perceived Stress Scale. Autistic traits were assessed using the Autism Spectrum Quotient. Adults with autism spectrum disorder reported significantly higher subjective stress and poorer ability to cope with stress in everyday life, as compared to typical adults. Autistic traits were associated with both subjective stress/distress and coping in this cross-sectional series. The long-term consequences of chronic stress in everyday life, as well as treatment intervention focusing on stress and coping, should be addressed in future research as well as in the clinical management of intellectually able adults with autism spectrum disorder.
