Parental experiences of twenty-four parents of a child with ASD who had participated in a three-month trial using the TOBY app were collected using semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was conducted and themes were mapped against an appropriateness framework. Collectively, parents felt the TOBY app was relevant and important to them and their children's needs, while expressing partial support of the TOBY app as: a positive experience for them and their children, beneficial for them and their children, a socially and ecological valid intervention, and an intervention that supported change and continuation in the skills learnt.

Co-occurring intellectual disability and autism: Associations with stress, coping, time use, and quality of life in caregivers / Sharmila VAZ in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 84 (June 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 84 (June 2021) . - 101765 Titre : Co-occurring intellectual disability and autism: Associations with stress, coping, time use, and quality of life in caregivers Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sharmila VAZ, Auteur ; Allyson THOMSON, Auteur ; Belinda CUOMO, Auteur ; Torbjörn FALKMER, Auteur ; Angela CHAMBERLAIN, Auteur ; Melissa H. BLACK, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101765 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Child  Disability  Family  Routine  Intellectual disability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Having a child on the autism spectrum (AS) is known to impact caregiver quality of life (QoL), time use, and stress. A co-occurring diagnosis of intellectual disability (ID) is common among children on the autism spectrum, with ID itself impacting caregiver outcomes. Method This study sought to understand how co-occurring ID in children on the autism spectrum may influence caregiver-related outcomes. Secondary analysis of survey data from caregivers of 278 children on the autism spectrum with (n = 62) and without (n = 216) co-occurring ID was conducted, exploring impacts on caregiver QoL, stress, coping, and time-use. Results Univariate analysis showed that caregivers of children on the autism spectrum with co-occurring ID reported greater levels of stress due to core symptoms and co-occurring physical conditions, and had different time use patterns then caregivers of children on the autism spectrum without co-occurring ID. Multivariate analysis, however, showed that caregivers of children on the autism spectrum with and without co-occurring ID differed only in the time they spent preparing meals, socialising with friends and accessing in-home respite care. Conclusions The presence of co-occurring ID in children on the autism spectrum had limited impacts on caregiver-related outcomes. Families of children across the entire AS require adequate supports.

Disembedding performance and eye gaze behavior of adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Melissa H. BLACK in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 66 (October 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 66 (October 2019) . - p.101417 Titre : Disembedding performance and eye gaze behavior of adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Melissa H.

TANG, Auteur ; Susan MORRIS, Auteur ; Hoe LEE, Auteur ; Marita FALKMER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101417 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Eye tracking  Local bias  Weak central coherence  Enhanced perceptual functioning Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Atypical visual perception in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) may contribute to superiority in disembedding tasks. Gaze behavior has provided some insights in to mechanisms underlying this purported superiority in children, however evidence is limited and requires additional investigation. Method The performance and gaze behavior of 27 adolescents with ASD and 27 matched typically developing (TD) peers were examined during the Figure Ground Subtest of the Test of Visual Perception Skills-third edition (TVPS-3). Results Compared to their TD counterparts, adolescents with ASD were no different in accuracy, however, had a longer response time. Differences in gaze behavior were also observed, characterized by adolescents with ASD spending less time viewing the incorrect and target figures, and spending a greater proportion of time viewing irrelevant areas of the stimuli compared to TD adolescents. Conclusions Results suggest that while altered visual perception was observed, this did not contribute to superiority in disembedding tasks in adolescents with ASD. Future research is required to elucidate conditions under which altered visual perception may contribute to behavioral superiority.

Preparing Children with Autism for Transition to Mainstream School and Perspectives on Supporting Positive School Experiences / Tegan J. LARCOMBE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-8 (August 2019)

This study aimed to explore parent and therapist perspectives on school readiness skills of children with ASD and factors impacting on a positive mainstream school experience. A mixed methods design was used. Key findings were that school readiness depends on child and school factors, with social skills the most important child factor. The child's experience was largely reliant on teacher and education assistant attitudes and highlighted a need for further training and support. This study identified areas of focus for early intervention as well as school-aged intervention and the need for collaborative practice.

Quality of Life, Coping Styles, Stress Levels, and Time Use in Mothers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Comparing Single Versus Coupled Households / Tomomi MCAULIFFE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-10 (October 2017)

Forty-three single and 164 coupled mothers completed the survey. Data were analysed using multivariate logistic regression. We found that single mothers were 1.05 times more likely to report lower levels of environmental QoL. Whilst they were 1.73 times more likely to use acceptance coping style, this association did not persist after adjusting for total number of children, household income and employment status. There was no difference in time use and stress between these mothers. Possible environmental issues for single mothers and implications for future research are discussed.
