Sensory processing in adults with autism spectrum disorders / Laura CRANE in Autism, 13-3 (May 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 13-3 (May 2009) . - p.215-228 Titre : Sensory processing in adults with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Laura CRANE, Auteur ; Lorna GODDARD, Auteur ; Linda PRING, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.215-228 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism sensory-processing Sensory-Profile Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Unusual sensory processing has been widely reported in autism spectrum disorders (ASDs); however, the majority of research in this area has focused on children. The present study assessed sensory processing in adults with ASD using the Adult/Adolescent Sensory Profile (AASP), a 60-item self-report questionnaire assessing levels of sensory processing in everyday life. Results demonstrated that sensory abnormalities were prevalent in ASD, with 94.4 percent of the ASD sample reporting extreme levels of sensory processing on at least one sensory quadrant of the AASP. Furthermore, analysis of the patterns of sensory processing impairments revealed striking within-group variability in the ASD group, suggesting that individuals with ASD could experience very different, yet similarly severe, sensory processing abnormalities. These results suggest that unusual sensory processing in ASD extends across the lifespan and have implications regarding both the treatment and the diagnosis of ASD in adulthood.

Divided attention capacity in adults with autism spectrum disorders and without intellectual disability / Hans BOGTE in Autism, 13-3 (May 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 13-3 (May 2009) . - p.229-243 Titre : Divided attention capacity in adults with autism spectrum disorders and without intellectual disability Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Hans BOGTE, Auteur ; Jaap VAN DER MEERE, Auteur ; Herman VAN ENGELAND, Auteur ; Bert FLAMMA, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.229-243 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults ASD executive-function prefrontal-cortex reaction-time Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Earlier research showed that divided attention, an aspect of executive function, is limited in both children and adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). The current study explored divided attention capacity in adults with ASD and without intellectual disability (n = 36). Divided attention was tested using a computerized variant of a well-known memory recognition test, with two levels of cognitive load. The effect of cognitive load on reaction time performance is considered to be inversely proportional to divided attention capacity. The study failed to provide a relationship between divided attention and ASD, contrary to earlier research. Findings indicated that only the adults with ASD who used medication had a divided attention deficit, and that this group had specific difficulty reaching a binary decision in a memory search task. An additional finding was that the participants with ASD were overall slow. Possible causes and implications of these findings are discussed.

Executive functioning differences between adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autistic spectrum disorder in initiation, planning and strategy formation / Jessica BRAMHAM in Autism, 13-3 (May 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 13-3 (May 2009) . - p.245-264 Titre : Executive functioning differences between adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autistic spectrum disorder in initiation, planning and strategy formation Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jessica BRAMHAM, Auteur ; Philip ASHERSON, Auteur ; Declan G.

This study sought to determine whether similar impairments exist in adults with ADHD (N = 53) and ASD (N = 45) in comparison with a healthy control group (N = 31), whether the two disorders can be distinguished on the basis of their executive functioning features, and whether these impairments are related to symptom severity. Both clinical groups were found to exhibit executive functioning deficits. The ADHD group had difficulty withholding a response, with relative preservation of initiation and planning abilities. In contrast, the ASD group exhibited significant impairments in initiation, planning and strategy formation. The specific executive functioning deficits were related to severity of response inhibition impairments in ADHD and stereotyped, repetitive behaviours in ASD. These findings suggest the pattern of executive functioning deficits follows a consistent trajectory into adulthood.

The `not guilty verdict': Psychological reactions to a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome in adulthood / C. PUNSHON in Autism, 13-3 (May 2009)

A number of factors make receiving a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome in adulthood a unique experience. This study used a phenomenological approach to examine the experiences of 10 adults receiving such a diagnosis. Results suggested that six major themes were associated with receiving a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome. Individuals discussed their negative life experiences and their experience of services prior to diagnosis, which led to individuals holding certain beliefs about the symptoms of Asperger syndrome. These beliefs had an effect on the formation of each individual's perceived self-identity. Participants made links between how they felt when they received the diagnosis and their current beliefs about both their `symptoms' and themselves. Finally, participants highlighted the importance of the societal view of Asperger syndrome. The implications of these findings are reappraised in the context of previous research and the wider literature on identity formation.

The costs of services and employment outcomes achieved by adults with autism in the US / Robert Evert CIMERA in Autism, 13-3 (May 2009)

It found that the number of such individuals has increased by more than 121 percent from 2002 to 2006. Moreover, though adults with autism were employed at higher rates than most disability groups investigated, they tended to work far fewer hours and earn less in wages per week. The study also found that adults with autism were among the most costly individuals to serve.

Objective and subjective quality of life in adults with autism spectrum disorders in southern Spain / David SALDANA in Autism, 13-3 (May 2009)

Seventy-four families responded to questionnaires about objective QoL indicators such as employment, health, adaptive behaviour and social network, and were asked to act as proxies for subjective QoL measures. Outcome on objective QoL was extremely poor. Social networks were most frequently composed of family members. Community-oriented resources were absent in most cases. For two-thirds of the families, the ability to act as proxies for subjective QoL was seriously limited by the participants' poor social and communicative abilities. The results are indicative of the need for additional support to families of adults with ASD and increased community-based resources. Further conceptualization of indicators and measurement of subjective QoL in individuals with severe disabilities and ASD is also needed in order to include their own perspective in the evaluation of service provision.

Economic cost of autism in the UK / Martin KNAPP in Autism, 13-3 (May 2009)

Many of those impacts are economic. This study estimated the costs of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) in the UK. Data on prevalence, level of intellectual disability and place of residence were combined with average annual costs of services and support, together with the opportunity costs of lost productivity. The costs of supporting children with ASDs were estimated to be £2.7 billion each year. For adults, these costs amount to £25 billion each year. The lifetime cost, after discounting, for someone with ASD and intellectual disability is estimated at approximately £1.23 million, and for someone with ASD without intellectual disability is approximately £0.80 million.
