The current study addresses this knowledge gap by comparing the frequency, importance, breadth, and sufficiency of participation between autistic adults and adults in the general population. Autistic adults participated less, had fewer areas that were important to them, participated in fewer areas that were important to them, and were less satisfied with their participation even after controlling for demographic characteristics. Moreover, this study raises questions about what influences their perceptions about the breadth of activities that are important to them and the degree to which they desire to participate in those areas. Suggestions for future interventions and research are offered.

Community participation patterns among autistic adults and associated characteristics: A latent class analysis / Wei SONG in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 89 (November 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 89 (November 2021) . - 101884 Titre : Community participation patterns among autistic adults and associated characteristics: A latent class analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Wei SONG, Auteur ; Mark S. SALZER, Auteur ; Stacy L. NONNEMACHER, Auteur ; Lindsay L. SHEA, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101884 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Adults  Community participation  Latent class analysis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Community participation can buffer stress and anxiety and improve quality of life for autistic adults. While the participation of autistic adults is known to be lower than the general population, it is not known if subgroups exist based on the degree of interest in participation or amounts of participation among those who are interested. Method This study uses Latent Class Analysis to identify subgroups based on the number of important areas and engagement in important activities, and the demographic, clinical, social, and environmental features of these subgroups. Cross-sectional data from 816 autistic adults aged 18–72 from a large, statewide survey were used. Results Latent Class Analysis resulted in a good-fitting four class solution: Low Importance of Participation (33%); High Importance-Low Participation (16%); High Importance-Moderate Participation (22%); High Importance-High Participation (29%). Autistic adults in the Low Importance group were more likely to have fewer years of education, live with family members, and less likely to have an intellectual disability. Among the classes where participation was important, compared to adults in the Moderate Participation class, those in the Low Participation class were more likely to live in an isolated environment, such as rural areas or supported living facilities, and those in the High Participation class had more satisfying relationships and fewer unmet service needs. Conclusions Study findings have implications for more efficient and effective service planning and delivery that enhances participation interests and amount of community participation to align with interests.

Program experiences of adults with autism, their families, and providers: Findings from a focus group study / Kaitlin H. KOFFER MILLER in Autism, 22-3 (April 2018)

In the United States, Medicaid is the primary payer for services for adults with autism spectrum disorder, yet there are few funded programs that provide dedicated supports to this population. This study examined the experiences of adults with autism spectrum disorder in two Medicaid-funded programs in Pennsylvania through focus groups. Researchers conducted 20 focus groups with a total of 36 adults with autism spectrum disorder, 32 family members, 32 direct care staff, and 20 program administrators. Using thematic analysis, we identified three themes: training needs, community engagement and socialization, and employment. There was a need for additional training to meet the varying needs of program participants including co-occurring diagnoses, sexuality, and long-term planning. Adults with autism spectrum disorder prioritized more individualized community activities based on their interests. Finally, barriers to and strategies for successful employment were discussed. It will be crucial for policy makers to utilize the findings to inform program improvement and development based on the experiences of individuals impacted by these services and systems directly. Additionally, researchers should use the findings from this study to design interventions for adults with autism spectrum disorder as it includes their voices.

Self-reported community participation experiences and preferences of autistic adults / Lindsay L. SHEA in Autism, 25-5 (July 2021)

A better understanding of preferences and access to various community activities among autistic adults provides intervention and policy directions in a critical area. This study reports responses from one of the largest groups of autistic adults surveyed to date. Participants reported their valued activities, number of days they participated in each activity during the previous month, and the extent to which they perceived their participation to be sufficient. Grocery shopping was the most common community activity, and most important. A wide range of activities were participated in during the previous month and more than half of the autistic adults reported that most activities were important. Autistic adults with a co-occurring intellectual disability participated in fewer activities and said that fewer activities were important. Sufficiency, or the degree to which an individual felt they participated enough in important activities, was greater for autistic adults with higher incomes and lower for autistic adults who lived independently or had co-occurring psychiatric diagnoses. Breadth of participation, or the number of important types of participation in the past month, was lower for autistic adults residing in supported living facilities and for autistic adults with co-occurring psychiatric diagnoses. Breadth was greater for autistic adults with self-reported service needs. Our study findings offer important information to guide implementation of new federal requirements aimed at promoting greater community participation among individuals covered by Medicaid.
