We conducted an exploratory study that examined the concordance of diagnoses between a multidisciplinary assessment team and a range of independent clinicians throughout Australia. Nine video-taped Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) assessments were collected from two Australian sites. Twenty-seven Australian health professionals each observed two video-recordings and rated the degree to which the individual met the DSM-5 criteria for ASD. There was 100% agreement on the diagnostic classification for only 3 of the 9 video clips (33%), with the remaining 6 clips (66%) reaching poor reliability. In addition, only 24% of the participating clinicians achieved ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ levels of agreement (Cohen’s kappa?>?0.6) with the original ASD assessment. These findings have implications for clinical guidelines for ASD assessments.

Examining an integrated path model of psychological and sociocultural predictors of camouflaging in autistic adults / Sici ZHUANG in Autism, 29-9 (September 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 29-9 (September 2025) . - p.2328-2343 Titre : Examining an integrated path model of psychological and sociocultural predictors of camouflaging in autistic adults Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sici ZHUANG, Auteur ; Mackenzie BOUGOURE, Auteur ; Dawn-Joy LEONG, Auteur ; Lydia DEAN, Auteur ; Susan REDDROP, Auteur ; Kristin NARAGON-GAINEY, Auteur ; Murray MAYBERY, Auteur ; Diana Weiting TAN, Auteur ; Iliana MAGIATI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2328-2343 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  camouflaging  masking  psychosocial factors  social model of disability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Camouflaging involves various strategies employed by autistic individuals to modulate the visibility of their autistic characteristics in social situations and is thought to be primarily motivated by psychosocial factors. Most studies to date have examined a limited number of psychosocial factors related to camouflaging. This study tested an integrated model encompassing several hypothesised individual psychological (i.e. fear of negative evaluation, self-esteem, autistic identity) and broader sociocultural predictors (i.e. perceived stigma, vulnerability events, cultural tightness-looseness, independent and interdependent self-construal). Participants were 225 autistic adults (18-77?years; 60.9% female), who completed self-report measures online. Path analysis partially supported the model, explaining about 25% of the variance in camouflaging. Several sociocultural factors - perceived stigma, cultural tightness and independent and interdependent self-construal - were indirectly associated with camouflaging through individual psychological factors. Notably, greater vulnerability to negative life events was the only sociocultural factor directly contributing to more camouflaging, without mediation by individual psychological factors. Fear of negative evaluation emerged as a strong predictor, mediating most relationships between broader sociocultural factors and camouflaging. Our findings highlight key psychosocial factors as crucial targets for social change, advocating a shift from stigmatisation to acceptance and inclusion to alleviate the pressure on autistic people to camouflage.Lay abstract Many autistic people use strategies known as 'camouflaging' to change how noticeable their autistic traits are in social situations. Previous research suggests that camouflaging is largely motivated by psychological and social factors. However, most studies so far have only looked at a few psychosocial factors related to camouflaging. In this study, we explored a model that included several individual psychological factors (such as fear of being negatively judged, self-esteem and autistic identity) and broader social and cultural factors (such as perceived stigma, negative life events, cultural emphasis on conformity and desire to fit in or stand out). We surveyed 225 autistic adults aged 18-77?years online. Our findings showed that several sociocultural factors were indirectly linked to camouflaging through individual psychological factors. Fear of being negatively judged emerged as a strong predictor of camouflaging. Specifically, autistic adults who perceived greater stigma, felt greater pressure to conform, had a lesser desire to stand out and a greater desire to fit in tended to experience a greater fear of being negatively judged and reported more camouflaging. In addition, those who experienced more negative life events were more likely to engage in camouflaging. Our study identifies key psychological and social factors as potential targets for social change. Our findings emphasise that our societies need to shift away from stigmatising attitudes towards accepting and including autistic people, which could reduce the pressure on autistic individuals to camouflage in social situations.

The findings from previous research suggest that high autistic symptoms may attenuate anxiety-linked difference in ABNI. Method This possibility was investigated by screening candidate participants (n = 871) on the Autism Spectrum Quotient and the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and then recruiting four groups representing the combination of high/low autistic traits and high/low trait anxiety (n = 89), with participants completing a dot-probe task. Results Results demonstrated a significant anxiety-linked difference in ABNI in participants high in autistic traits, but not in participants low in autistic traits. Conclusions This pattern of findings stands in clear contradiction to the hypothesis that high levels of autistic traits attenuate anxiety-linked difference in ABNI.

Which emerging autism features at 12 months of age are associated with later parent-child interaction? / Chengcheng KE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 119 (January 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 119 (January 2025) . - p.102525 Titre : Which emerging autism features at 12 months of age are associated with later parent-child interaction? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Chengcheng KE, Auteur ; Lesley-Anne CARTER, Auteur ; Jonathan GREEN, Auteur ; Andrew J. O. WHITEHOUSE, Auteur ; Kristelle HUDRY, Auteur ; Josephine BARBARO, Auteur ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE, Auteur ; Murray MAYBERY, Auteur ; Slonims VICKY, Auteur ; Leonie SEGAL, Auteur ; Kandice VARCIN, Auteur ; Ming Wai WAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102525 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Parental sensitivity  Parent-infant interaction  Maternal sensitivity  Elevated likelihood of autism  Autism signs  Sensorimotor Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Parent-child interactions (PCI) in infants with an elevated likelihood (EL) of autism start to diverge from other infants toward the end of the first year. This divergence is often attributed to emerging features of autism impacting infant social interactions in ways that become increasingly amplified. The aim was to identify which, if any, 12-month autism features were associated with later PCI qualities. Method Twelve-month-old infants (N = 103) with early autism features (3+ on the Social Attention and Communication Surveillance-Revised tool) were assessed on the Autism Observation Scale for Infants (AOSI) at 12 and 18 months, and on free play PCI using the Manchester Assessment of Caregiver-Infant Interaction at 18 months. Results AOSI autism features at 12-months were associated with 18-month PCI qualities, independent of 18-month autism features. Specifically, infants with emerging features in social attention areas later showed less attentiveness to parents and lower dyadic mutuality. By contrast, infants with emerging sensorimotor atypicality/delay later showed increased attentiveness to parents and lower negative affect, their parents were more sensitively responsive, and their interactions were more mutual. Emotional regulation scores had no significant association with later PCI. Conclusions The findings support the notion that PCI changes in EL infants are rooted in the transactional impact of early emerging autism-related features, which may have differential effects on PCI. Pending replication in a larger sample using a detailed measure of early autism features, the findings suggest that early autism features may amplify or elicit interactions.
