Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-10 (October 2020) . - p.3649-3660 Titre : An Examination of Social Skills, Friendship Quality, and Loneliness for Adults with Williams Syndrome Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Marisa H. FISHER, Auteur ; Cynde K. JOSOL, Auteur ; Carolyn M. SHIVERS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3649-3660 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Friendship  Loneliness  Social skills  Williams Syndrome Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Individuals with Williams Syndrome (WS) are hypersocial, overfriendly, and experience social skills deficits that may adversely impact their social outcomes. This study examined the relation between social skills, friendship quality, and feelings of loneliness for adults with WS as reported by 114 parent-adult with WS dyads. Results indicate that although most friends do not live close-by, adults with WS have good quality friendships and do not report high feelings of loneliness. Positive friendship qualities were found to partially mediate the relationship between social skills impairments and social feelings of loneliness. Findings indicate that although adults with WS experience social skills deficits and struggle to maintain friendships in their immediate community, they still report positive friendship qualities and low feelings of loneliness.

Friendship Experiences of Children With Neurodevelopmental Disabilities and Their Peers: A Meta-Synthesis / Sarah N. DOUGLAS in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 40-4 (December 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 40-4 (December 2025) . - p.189-199 Titre : Friendship Experiences of Children With Neurodevelopmental Disabilities and Their Peers: A Meta-Synthesis Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sarah N. DOUGLAS, Auteur ; Cynde K. JOSOL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.189-199 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : neurodevelopmental disabilities  autism spectrum disorders  friendship  qualitative meta-synthesis  inclusion Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Friendships are a critical component of a healthy quality of life and provide numerous benefits for all individuals but can include significant barriers for individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities (ND). Despite calls for an increase in inclusive educational practices, limited research exists to explore the nature of friendships between children with disabilities and their peers. A qualitative meta-synthesis of studies between 2000 and 2022 was conducted to summarize qualitative research exploring the friendship experiences of children with NDs. Findings from 14 studies noted a number of themes and subthemes related to defining friendship, friendship experiences, barriers to friendship, and facilitators of friendship between children with disabilities and their peers. Implications for policy and practice, limitations, and future research directions are discussed.

Language Skills of Males with Fragile X Syndrome or Nonsyndromic Autism Spectrum Disorder / Angela John THURMAN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-3 (March 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 47-3 (March 2017) . - p.728-743 Titre : Language Skills of Males with Fragile X Syndrome or Nonsyndromic Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Angela John THURMAN, Auteur ; Andrea MCDUFFIE, Auteur ; Randi J. HAGERMAN, Auteur ; Cynde K. JOSOL, Auteur ; Leonard ABBEDUTO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.728-743 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Fragile X syndrome  Autism spectrum disorder  Language Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Despite the similarities observed between the fragile X syndrome (FXS) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) phenotypes, few studies have compared their behavioral profiles outside of ASD symptomatology. In the present study, we sought to compare lexical and grammatical abilities in these two conditions. Comparisons of language abilities in both of these conditions are particularly interesting because both conditions are characterized by difficulties navigating social interactions. Results suggest that although both FXS and ASD are associated with language difficulties, there are important differences between the two conditions in terms of the language profiles observed and the factors influencing language when considering children of similar developmental levels. Theoretical implications are discussed.

Psychometric Properties and Utility of the Social Vulnerability Questionnaire for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities / Marisa H. FISHER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-7 (July 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-7 (July 2020) . - p.2348-2359 Titre : Psychometric Properties and Utility of the Social Vulnerability Questionnaire for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Marisa H. FISHER, Auteur ; Carolyn M. SHIVERS, Auteur ; Cynde K. JOSOL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2348-2359 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Discriminant function analysis  Factor analysis  Intellectual disability  Social vulnerability  Victimization Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although it is well-known that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are socially vulnerable, the field lacks valid assessments to identify risk factors for victimization. Parents/caregivers of 428 individuals with IDD (ages 12-53) completed the social vulnerability questionnaire (SVQ), a measure developed to assess specific aspects of social vulnerability among individuals with various forms of IDD. This study examined the psychometric structure of the SVQ (exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis), and the utility of the factors of the SVQ as predictors of diagnostic category (through discriminate function analysis). Results provide psychometric support for use of the SVQ and its factors for further research and as part of a clinical assessment battery to assess social vulnerability and to develop interventions.
