Characterizing the daily life, needs, and priorities of adults with autism spectrum disorder from Interactive Autism Network data / Katherine GOTHAM in Autism, 19-7 (October 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 19-7 (October 2015) . - p.794-804 Titre : Characterizing the daily life, needs, and priorities of adults with autism spectrum disorder from Interactive Autism Network data Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Katherine GOTHAM, Auteur ; Alison R. MARVIN, Auteur ; Julie LOUNDS TAYLOR, Auteur ; Zachary WARREN, Auteur ; Connie M. ANDERSON, Auteur ; Paul A. LAW, Auteur ; Jessica K. LAW, Auteur ; Paul H. LIPKIN, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.794-804 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults  autism spectrum disorder  Interactive Autism Network  outcome  patient-centered outcome research Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Using online survey data from a large sample of adults with autism spectrum disorder and legal guardians, we first report outcomes across a variety of contexts for participants with a wide range of functioning, and second, summarize these stakeholders’ priorities for future research. The sample included n?=?255 self-reporting adults with autism spectrum disorder aged 18–71?years (M?=?38.5?years, standard deviation?=?13.1?years) and n?=?143 adults with autism spectrum disorder aged 18–58?years (M?=?25.0?years, standard deviation?=?8.2?years) whose information was provided by legal guardians. Although the self-reporting subsample had much higher rates of employment, marriage/partnership, and independent living than are typically seen in autism spectrum disorder outcome studies, they remained underemployed and had strikingly high rates of comorbid disorders. Data on both descriptive outcomes and rated priorities converged across subsamples to indicate the need for more adult research on life skills, treatments, co-occurring conditions, and vocational and educational opportunities. Stakeholders also placed priority on improving public services, health care access, and above all, public acceptance of adults with autism spectrum disorder. Findings must be interpreted in light of the self-reporting subsample’s significant proportion of females and of later-diagnosed individuals. This study underscores the need for lifespan research; initiatives will benefit from incorporating information from the unique perspectives of adults with autism spectrum disorder and their families.

Grandparents’ Experience of Autism Spectrum Disorder: Identifying Primary Themes and Needs / Jennifer L. HILLMAN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-10 (October 2017)

In the present study, 1870 grandparents of a child with ASD participated in a nationwide, online, anonymous, 30-minute survey and responded to open-ended questions including their “greatest challenges and greatest joys” as the grandparent of a child on the autism spectrum. A grounded theory approach to qualitative analysis revealed four overarching categories: a Desire for Connection, Barriers to Care, Celebration of Progress, and Personal Reactions. Despite the presence of significant challenges grandparents often experienced positivity in their role, and engaged in radical acceptance of their grandchild as well as transformative insight and advocacy. Specific recommendations are offered to help address grandparents’ needs and capitalize upon their resilience.

Mood Disorders in Mothers of Children on the Autism Spectrum Are Associated with Higher Functioning Autism / Roma A. VASA in Autism Research and Treatment, (July 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research and Treatment > (July 2012) . - 8 p.

LAW, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : 8 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Trouble de l'humeur Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Mood disorders occur more frequently in family members of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) than in the general population. There may be associations between maternal mood disorder history patterns and specific ASD phenotypes. We therefore examined the relationship between maternal mood disorders and child autism spectrum disorders in 998 mother-child dyads enrolled in a national online autism registry and database. Mothers of children with ASD completed online questionnaires addressing their child’s ASD as well as their own mood disorder history. In multivariate logistic regression models of ASD diagnoses, the odds of an Asperger disorder versus autistic disorder diagnosis were higher among those children whose mothers had a lifetime history of bipolar disorder (OR 2.11, CI 1.20, 3.69) or depression (OR 1.62, CI 1.19, 2.19). Further, maternal mood disorder onset before first pregnancy was associated with higher odds (OR 2.35, CI 1.48, 3.73) of an Asperger versus autism diagnosis among this sample of children with ASD. These data suggest that differences in maternal mood disorder history may be associated with ASD phenotype in offspring.

Risk factors for bullying among children with autism spectrum disorders / Benjamin ZABLOTSKY in Autism, 18-4 (May 2014)

ANDERSON, Auteur ; Paul LAW, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.419-427 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  bullying  schools  special needs Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although children with disabilities have been found to be at an increased risk of bullying, there are limited studies investigating predictors of bullying involvement in children with autism spectrum disorders. The current study presents findings from 1221 parents of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder who were selected from a national web-based registry. Parents completed a survey dedicated to the school and bullying experiences of their child, and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify child and school risk factors for involvement as victim, bully, or bully–victim. Additional analyses examined the risk of bullying involvement based on the amount of time spent in general education classrooms. Children diagnosed with Asperger’s disorder, attending a public school or a school with a general education population, were at the greatest risk of being victimized in the past month. Children with comorbid conditions and a high level of autistic traits were the most likely to be victims, bullies, and bully–victims. Finally, children in full inclusion classrooms were more likely to be victimized than those who spend the majority of their time in special education settings. Future research studies should be invested in finding appropriate supports for children with autism spectrum disorder placed in inclusive settings.

The Association Between Child Autism Symptomatology, Maternal Quality of Life, and Risk for Depression / Benjamin ZABLOTSKY in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 43-8 (August 2013)

The current study examined the association between child autism symptomatology, mother’s quality of life, and mother’s risk for depression in a sample of 1,110 mothers recruited from a web-based registry of families with children with an ASD. Higher autism symptomatology and a greater number of co-occurring psychiatric disorders in the child were associated with an increased risk for current treatment of maternal depression and a lower maternal quality of life. The results highlight the importance of screening for depression, particularly in mothers of children with ASD and mental health and behavioral challenges.
