'I never realised everybody felt as happy as I do when I am around autistic people': A thematic analysis of autistic adults' relationships with autistic and neurotypical friends and family / Catherine J. CROMPTON in Autism, 24-6 (August 2020)

To find out whether this was a common experience, we did hour-long interviews with 12 autistic adults. We asked them questions about how it feels when spending time with their friends and family, and whether it felt different depending on whether the friends and family were autistic or neurotypical. We analysed the interviews and found three common themes in what our participants said. First, they found spending with other autistic people easier and more comfortable than spending time with neurotypical people, and felt they were better understood by other autistic people. Second, autistic people often felt they were in a social minority, and in order to spend time with neurotypical friends and family, they had to conform with what the neurotypical people wanted and were used to. Third, autistic people felt like they belonged with other autistic people and that they could be themselves around them. These findings show that having time with autistic friends and family can be very beneficial for autistic people and played an important role in a happy social life.

Personal Space Regulation in Williams Syndrome: The Effect of Familiarity / Emma LOUGH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-10 (October 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 46-10 (October 2016) . - p.3207-3215 Titre : Personal Space Regulation in Williams Syndrome: The Effect of Familiarity Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Emma LOUGH, Auteur ; Emma FLYNN, Auteur ; Deborah M. RIBY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3207-3215 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Williams syndrome  Personal space  Interpersonal distance  Stop-distance  Social behaviour Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Personal space refers to a protective barrier that we strive to maintain around our body. We examined personal space regulation in young people with Williams syndrome (WS) and their typically developing, chronological age-matched peers using a parent report questionnaire and a stop-distance paradigm. Individuals with WS were reported by their parents to be more likely to violate the personal space of others, and indeed they maintained a shorter interpersonal distance in the stop-distance paradigm. Interestingly, WS individuals failed to regulate their personal space based on the familiarity of the person they were interacting with. Findings are discussed in relation to the wider social profile associated with WS, and the possible impact of atypical personal space regulation on social vulnerability.
