Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 23 (March 2016) . - p.73-83 Titre : Looking behind the mask: Social coping strategies of girls on the autistic spectrum Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Siobhan TIERNEY, Auteur ; Jan BURNS, Auteur ; Elizabeth KILBEY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.73-83 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescence  Female  Autism spectrum  Social relationships  Imitation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract The socio-communication deficits of individuals on the autistic spectrum are well documented. However, this has largely been based on the male population and less is known about how females with autism manage social relationships across the developmental period. Ten adolescent female participants with a diagnosis of autism were interviewed and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis used to explore their experiences of managing their social relationships. The results showed that participants were motivated to develop and maintain friendships, but during adolescence this became increasingly difficult. Consequently, they developed explicit strategies to manage these relationships, including masking and imitation. The use of such strategies was both advantageous and disadvantageous, and such findings should be considered in developing gender sensitive assessment and developmentally appropriate support.

Using the AQ-10 with adults who have a borderline or mild intellectual disability: Pilot analysis of an adapted AQ-10 (AQ-10-Intellectual Disability) / Elizabeth C. KENT in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 54 (October 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 54 (October 2018) . - p.65-75 Titre : Using the AQ-10 with adults who have a borderline or mild intellectual disability: Pilot analysis of an adapted AQ-10 (AQ-10-Intellectual Disability) Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Elizabeth C. KENT, Auteur ; Gerald H. BURGESS, Auteur ; Elizabeth KILBEY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.65-75 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Intellectual disability  Autism spectrum disorder  Intellectual impairment  Screening  Case identification  AQ-10 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background There is a need for appropriate screening tools for case identification of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in those with intellectual disabilities (ID) given the high co-occurrence of the two conditions. The AQ-10 is the screening tool recommended by NICE for the identification of ASD in adults with a borderline or mild intellectual disability. However, the AQ-10 was not developed with this population in mind. Method A mixed-methods approach was used to investigate the utility of the AQ-10 in its original form as a case identification tool. The AQ-10 was then redesigned and piloted. Qualitative results revealed individuals with a borderline or mild ID found the AQ-10 too inaccessible in its current format. Results Following revision, the diagnostic validity of the revised measure (AQ-10-ID) showed good sensitivity (0.85) and specificity (0.77), whereas the diagnostic validity of the original AQ-10 was poor. The internal consistency for the AQ-10-ID was 0.67 and 0.30 for the AQ-10. Conclusions These findings indicate that changes may be needed to the AQ-10 before clinicians consider using as a screen tools for adults with an intellectual disability.
