Despite the presumed importance of cultural context in this regard, little is known about how autistic adolescents experience their autism diagnoses in non-Western countries. We aimed to understand the experiences of Taiwanese autistic adolescents receiving autism diagnoses in a relationship-oriented, non-Western culture. Eight autistic adolescents aged 14–18 years (three assigned-male, five assigned-female) participated in in-depth individual interviews, with data analyzed by reflexive thematic analysis. These Taiwanese autistic adolescents used their autism diagnoses to gain self-understanding and guide social interactions, specifically, (a) to explain past experiences in relation to both positive and negative stereotypes about autism; (b) as a guide to autism knowledge and to provide a framework for modifying one’s own behaviors; (c) to seek connections with autistic peers and to be understood by non-autistic people; and (d) to negotiate with the Taiwanese educational system in meeting their needs. This study offers a qualitative, in-depth perspective on how autistic adolescents in a relationship-oriented, non-Western society experience and navigate their autism diagnoses—as a resource for identity construction and social position.Lay Abstract Receiving an autism diagnosis can come with different emotional and cognitive responses, such as feeling stigmatized and/or reframing this experience as a foundation for self-understanding and self-acceptance. This process is especially impactful during the teenage years, when young people typically begin to actively explore who they are. Because most previous research has been conducted in Western countries, we know very little about the experiences receiving an autism diagnosis in non-Western, relationship-oriented cultures, where fitting in with the group is often valued more than standing out. In this study, we interviewed eight autistic adolescents in Taiwan, aged 14–18 years, to understand how they experienced their autism diagnoses. We found that these Taiwanese autistic adolescents used their diagnoses to better understand themselves and guide their interactions with other people. Some used it to explain their past experiences and relieve themselves of guilt. Some said it helped them understand more about their own behavioral tendency and adjust their behavior accordingly. The diagnosis also helped them connect with their autistic peers, communicate effectively with non-autistic people, and ask for support within the school system. This study highlights the voices of Taiwanese autistic teenagers about their experiences of receiving an autism diagnosis. It shows how autism diagnoses can promote self-understanding and social coping.

Autistic Traits and Emotion Dysregulation in 5-11-Year-Old Intellectually Able Children With Autism Spectrum Condition: Mediating Role of Emotion Regulation Strategies / Angana NANDY ; Hsing-Chang NI in Autism Research, 18-5 (May 2025)

However, the mechanisms underlying emotion regulation strategies (ERSs) and their impacts on ED in this population remain unclear. The current study examined whether ED is directly related to autistic traits or mediated by deficits in ERSs after comorbidity is accounted for. A cohort of 110 intellectually able children aged 5 11 years with ASC participated in this study. Autistic traits and ED were assessed using the Autism Spectrum Quotient-Children and Child Behavior Checklist, respectively. Intrinsic ERSs, specifically cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression, were evaluated using the Parent Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, alongside items measuring parental coregulation as an extrinsic ERS. After adjusting for comorbidities (i.e., other neurodevelopmental or neurological disorders), the findings revealed pronounced autistic traits in social skills, attention switching, communication, and imagination correlated with higher ED levels, with parental coregulation mediating this correlation. Notably, the effects of communication and imagination on ED were fully mediated by parental coregulation. Additionally, autistic traits related to imagination were demonstrated to impair the development of cognitive reappraisal, further exacerbating ED. These results provide a deeper understanding of the emotional challenges faced by intellectually able children with ASC. The findings of this study underscore the importance of interventions aimed at enhancing emotion regulation within the parent?child dyad and fostering the development of cognitive reappraisal through imitative tasks. Such ERS-focused interventions hold potential for mitigating the adverse effects of autistic traits on emotional functioning.

Characterizing intrinsic functional connectivity in relation to impaired self-regulation in intellectually able male youth with autism spectrum disorder / Hsiang-Yuan LIN in Autism, 24-5 (July 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 24-5 (July 2020) . - p.1201-1216 Titre : Characterizing intrinsic functional connectivity in relation to impaired self-regulation in intellectually able male youth with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Hsiang-Yuan LIN, Auteur ; Hsing-Chang NI, Auteur ; Wen-Yih Isaac TSENG, Auteur ; Susan Shur-Fen GAU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1201-1216 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Child Behavior Checklist  autism spectrum disorder  connectivity  connectome-wide association study  dysregulation  resting-state fMRI Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Impaired self-regulation (i.e., dysregulation in affective, behavioral, and cognitive control), is commonly present in young people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, little is known about what is happening in people's brains when self-regulation is impaired in young people with ASD. We used a technique called functional MRI (which measures brain activity by detecting changes associated with blood flow) at a resting state (when participants are not asked to do anything) to research this in intellectually able young people with ASD. We found that brains with more connections, especially between regions involved in sensorimotor processing and regions involved in the processes that enable peoples to focus their attention on the most pertinent features from the sensory environment (salience processing), were related to more impaired self-regulation in young people with and without ASD. We also found that impaired self-regulation was related to increased communication within the brain system involved in voluntary orienting attention to a sensory cue (the dorsal attention network) in young people with ASD. These results highlight how different people have different degrees of dysregulation, which has been largely overlooked in the earlier brain imaging reports on ASD. This might contribute to understanding some of the inconsistencies in the existing published literature on this topic.

Moreover, the associations between cyberbullying involvement and depression, anxiety, and suicidality were also examined. Adolescents self-reported higher rates of being a victim or perpetrator of cyberbullying than were reported by their parents. Increased age and had more severe ODD symptoms were significantly associated with being victims or perpetrators of cyberbullying. Being a victim but not a perpetrator of cyberbullying was significantly associated with depression, anxiety, and suicidality.

Exploring camouflaging by the Chinese version Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire in Taiwanese autistic and non-autistic adolescents: An initial development / Chun-Hao LIU in Autism, 28-3 (March 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 28-3 (March 2024) . - p.690-704 Titre : Exploring camouflaging by the Chinese version Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire in Taiwanese autistic and non-autistic adolescents: An initial development Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Chun-Hao LIU, Auteur ; Yi-Lung CHEN, Auteur ; Pei-Jung CHEN, Auteur ; Hsing-Chang NI, Auteur ; Meng-Chuan LAI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.690-704 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescent  autism  camouflaging  psychometrics  reliability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Camouflaging is a strategy adopted by neurodivergent individuals to cope in neurotypical social contexts, likely related to perceived stress. Despite increasing research in autistic adults, studies of camouflaging in adolescents remain sparse. The self-reported Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire has been validated in adults in some Western societies, but not in non-Western populations. We examined the psychometric properties of the self-reported and caregiver-reported Chinese version Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire in Taiwanese adolescents. We enrolled 100 autistic and 105 non-autistic adolescents (aged 12-18 years) and their caregivers. As an initial development, we found a two-factor structure ("compensation-masking" and "assimilation") via exploratory factor analysis, alongside good internal consistency and test-retest reliability, for both the self-reported and caregiver-reported Chinese version Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire. Self-reported and caregiver-reported Chinese version Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire scores were moderately to highly correlated. Autistic adolescents showed higher total Chinese version Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire and assimilation scores than non-autistic adolescents in both males and females. Female autistic adolescents showed higher assimilation than male autistic adolescents, but there was no significant difference between sex assigned at birth on compensation-masking in either autistic or non-autistic adolescents. Assimilation correlated with higher self-perceived stress for both autistic and non-autistic adolescents. Both self-reported and caregiver-reported Chinese version Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire were reliable and offered meaningful information to understand social coping of Taiwanese autistic and non-autistic adolescents. Lay abstract Camouflaging is a coping strategy used by some autistic and other neurodivergent people to fit in neurotypical social contexts. The self-reported Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire has been validated for use in research with adults in some Western societies, but not in non-Western cultural-ethnic groups. We translated Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire into traditional Chinese and examined the use of this measure in Taiwanese adolescents via both self-report and caregiver-report in 100 autistic and 105 non-autistic adolescents. Both self-reported and caregiver-reported Chinese version Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire were composed of two factors (i.e. a "compensation-masking" subscale and an "assimilation" subscale). Both adolescent self-reported and caregiver-reported Chinese version Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire total score and subscales were reliable in measurement, and they highly correlated with each other. Taiwanese autistic adolescents were more likely to camouflage than non-autistic adolescents, especially on assimilation. Female autistic adolescents showed higher assimilation than male autistic adolescents. Higher camouflaging, especially assimilation, was associated with higher stress in autistic and non-autistic adolescents alike. Both self-reported and caregiver-reported Chinese version Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire were reliable and offered meaningful information to help us understand the social coping experiences of autistic and non-autistic adolescents.
