Associations between compulsive internet use and the autism spectrum / Christina SHANE-SIMPSON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 23 (March 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 23 (March 2016) . - p.152-165 Titre : Associations between compulsive internet use and the autism spectrum Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Christina SHANE-SIMPSON, Auteur ; Patricia J. BROOKS, Auteur ; Rita OBEID, Auteur ; Ellen-ge DENTON, Auteur ; Kristen GILLESPIE-LYNCH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.152-165 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Facebook  Social networking site  Autism  Compulsive Internet use  Restricted interests Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract The increasingly complex relationship between individuals and online environments has prompted research exploring the potential for compulsive Internet use (CIU) in varying populations. Identification of the determinants of CIU, such as offline social difficulties associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), could clarify whether individuals compensate for offline difficulties through online interactions. In Study 1, 597 undergraduates took an online survey measuring CIU, social symptoms of ASD, restricted interests and repetitive behaviors (RIRB), self-esteem, and Facebook behaviors. A relationship between CIU and autistic traits was attributable to non-social characteristics (RIRB) and a relationship was identified between RIRB and information-seeking behaviors. These results complicate the social compensation hypothesis by suggesting that non-social personality characteristics contribute more strongly to CIU than individuals’ attempts to compensate for offline social challenges. Study 2 matched a sample of students with ASD (n = 33) to neurotypical students (n = 33) and uncovered no significant differences in CIU scores between the matched samples. These results suggest that findings observed by measuring autistic traits in neurotypical samples may not replicate with autistic samples.

Changing College Students’ Conceptions of Autism: An Online Training to Increase Knowledge and Decrease Stigma / Kristen GILLESPIE-LYNCH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-8 (August 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 45-8 (August 2015) . - p.2553-2566 Titre : Changing College Students’ Conceptions of Autism: An Online Training to Increase Knowledge and Decrease Stigma Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kristen GILLESPIE-LYNCH, Auteur ; Patricia J. BROOKS, Auteur ; Fumio SOMEKI, Auteur ; Rita OBEID, Auteur ; Christina SHANE-SIMPSON, Auteur ; Steven K. KAPP, Auteur ; Nidal DAOU, Auteur ; David SHANE SMITH, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.2553-2566 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Stigma associated with autism  Knowledge of autism  Online training  College students  ASD Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : College students with autism may be negatively impacted by lack of understanding about autism on college campuses. Thus, we developed an online training to improve knowledge and decrease stigma associated with autism among college students. Participants (N = 365) completed a pre-test, online training, and post-test. Women reported lower stigma towards autism than men. Participation in the training was associated with decreased stigma and increased knowledge about autism. Although participants exhibited relatively high baseline knowledge of autism, misconceptions were common, particularly in open-ended responses. Participants commonly confused autism with other disorders, such as learning disabilities. This study suggests that online training may be a cost-effective way to increase college students’ understanding and acceptance of their peers with autism.

A Cross-Cultural Comparison of Knowledge and Stigma Associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder Among College Students in Lebanon and the United States / Rita OBEID in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-11 (November 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 45-11 (November 2015) . - p.3520-3536 Titre : A Cross-Cultural Comparison of Knowledge and Stigma Associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder Among College Students in Lebanon and the United States Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rita OBEID, Auteur ; Nidal DAOU, Auteur ; Danielle DENIGRIS, Auteur ; Christina SHANE-SIMPSON, Auteur ; Patricia J. BROOKS, Auteur ; Kristen GILLESPIE-LYNCH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3520-3536 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Stigma  Knowledge  ASD  Online training  Cross-cultural  Lebanon Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although misconceptions associated with ASD are apparent worldwide, they may differ across cultures. This study compares knowledge and stigma associated with ASD in a country with limited autism resources, Lebanon, and a country with substantial autism resources, the United States (US). College students in the US (N = 346) and Lebanon (N = 329) completed assessments of knowledge and stigma associated with ASD before and after an online ASD training. Although students in the US exhibited higher overall knowledge and lower stigma towards ASD, certain misconceptions were more apparent in the US than in Lebanon. Participation in the training was associated with decreased stigma and increased knowledge in both countries. Thus, online training may be useful for increasing understanding about ASD internationally.
