However, the ability to solve applied math problems is associated with academic achievement, everyday problem-solving abilities, and vocational outcomes. The paucity of research on math achievement in ASD may be partly explained by the widely-held belief that most individuals with ASD are mathematically gifted, despite emerging evidence to the contrary. The purpose of the study was twofold: to assess the relative proportions of youth with ASD who demonstrate giftedness versus disability on applied math problems, and to examine which cognitive (i.e., perceptual reasoning, verbal ability, working memory) and clinical (i.e., test anxiety) characteristics best predict achievement on applied math problems in ASD relative to typically developing peers. Twenty-seven high-functioning adolescents with ASD and 27 age- and Full Scale IQ-matched typically developing controls were assessed on standardized measures of math problem solving, perceptual reasoning, verbal ability, and test anxiety. Results indicated that 22% of the ASD sample evidenced a mathematics learning disability, while only 4% exhibited mathematical giftedness. The parsimonious linear regression model revealed that the strongest predictor of math problem solving was perceptual reasoning, followed by verbal ability and test anxiety, then diagnosis of ASD. These results inform our theories of math ability in ASD and highlight possible targets of intervention for students with ASD struggling with mathematics.

Looking good but feeling bad: "Camouflaging" behaviors and mental health in women with autistic traits / Jonathan S. BECK in Autism, 24-4 (May 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 24-4 (May 2020) . - p.809-821 Titre : Looking good but feeling bad: "Camouflaging" behaviors and mental health in women with autistic traits Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jonathan S.

We asked 58 women with autistic traits to complete questionnaires about camouflaging and mental health. Most of these women did not have a formal diagnosis of autism, yet a majority reported that they camouflaged autistic traits, and a large majority reported significant mental health challenges. Some researchers have suggested that women with autistic traits are more likely than autistic men to experience mental health challenges because women may try more to "fit in" socially by camouflaging their autistic traits. Analyses showed that camouflaging was associated with feeling distressed (depressed, anxious, and/or stressed). For women who reported above-average levels of camouflaging, camouflaging was also associated with having thoughts about suicide and struggling to function in everyday life. Trying to camouflage autistic traits was associated with mental health challenges, regardless of whether those traits were very mild or more severe. The findings of this study may influence how mental health professionals evaluate and treat women with autistic traits.

Silently screaming: A collective case study of non-suicidal self-injury in women with autistic traits / Rebecca A. LUNDWALL in Research in Autism, 128 (October 2025)

GABRIELSEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.202725 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Self-harm  Non-suicidal self-injury  Deliberate self-harm  Female Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Introduction Recognition of autism in females has been growing, with concerns that NSSI is more common in this group. Listening to autistic women who self-harm can expand understanding and improve support. Methods Adult autistic females and those with a clinical best estimate of autism completed a developmental screener, the Suicide Behavior Questionnaire-Revised (SBQ-R), and follow-up interviews prompting collective case study analysis of 23 transcriptions (n = 13 autism; n = 10 clinical best estimate of autism). Insider and external autism experts reviewed analyses. Results Eighteen of the 23 participants self-injured. We found younger ages of onset for self-injury (as early as 8 years old) than previously reported in other studies. Powerlessness, self-punishment for social mistakes, and difficulty displaying the “right” emotions were common themes related to reasons why autistic women self-injured. Experiences of NSSI aligned with literature linking it to the need for emotional regulation and focus when overwhelmed. Cutting was sometimes associated with suicidal thoughts/behaviors. Our inside experts were people with lived experience of autism, and they reviewed the study’s findings. Conclusion Participants reported that parents, therapists, and clergy who listened without judgment and validated social stressors were helpful. Dismissive reactions, assumptions regarding motivations, and hospitalization were described as not helpful. Overall, participants expressed a desire for greater self-control over quality of life.

Unrelenting Depression and Suicidality in Women with Autistic Traits / Mikle SOUTH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-10 (October 2020)

This study included a broad sample of adult women (n = 74) who report finding social situations confusing and/or exhausting, and who score high on measures of autistic traits. Regardless of autism diagnostic status, these women reported high rates of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Depression symptoms were more associated with suicidality than were autistic trait measures of social communication. Measures of neurotypical "imagination" and of repetitive behavior likewise were associated with suicidality risk. Simultaneously feeling sad and feeling stuck or unable to imagine alternate strategies, may uniquely increase suicide risk in autism.
