The aim of this study was to develop a coding system, the Gendered Autism Behavioral Scale (GABS), to identify and measure hypothesized components of non-traditional autism phenotypes. Methods Two independent cohorts of autistic individuals completed modules 3 and 4 of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS, 2nd edition). Video-recorded ADOS administrations were coded using the GABS, and separate coding teams analyzed each cohort. Cohort 1 from the United Kingdom consisted of 22 males and 22 females, aged 9–15 years. Cohort 2 from the United States consisted of 40 males and 20 females, aged 4–59 years. Results The coders achieved acceptable inter-rater reliability both within and across coding teams. In exploratory analyses, gender differences between codes were assessed within cohorts. Within Cohort 1, there were significant gender differences, of a moderate size, on several individual items as well as the Managing Emotions subscale and the Total GABS score. Within Cohort 2, significant gender differences were found for two individual items. Conclusions This study demonstrated the feasibility of the GABS across different sites. Validity tests resulted in partial replication of gender differences on the GABS. Preliminary evidence from the GABS suggests that valuable data on hypothesized non-traditional autism phenotypes could be extracted from widely employed assessments such as the ADOS. Future work could capitalize on the GABS’ utility for secondary data analysis to study gender differences in ASD in larger, adequately powered samples.

Behavioural and cognitive sex/gender differences in autism spectrum condition and typically developing males and females / Laura HULL in Autism, 21-6 (August 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 21-6 (August 2017) . - p.706-727 Titre : Behavioural and cognitive sex/gender differences in autism spectrum condition and typically developing males and females Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Laura HULL, Auteur ; William MANDY, Auteur ; K. V. PETRIDES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.706-727 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Studies assessing sex/gender differences in autism spectrum conditions often fail to include typically developing control groups. It is, therefore, unclear whether observed sex/gender differences reflect those found in the general population or are particular to autism spectrum conditions. A systematic search identified articles comparing behavioural and cognitive characteristics in males and females with and without an autism spectrum condition diagnosis. A total of 13 studies were included in meta-analyses of sex/gender differences in core autism spectrum condition symptoms (social/communication impairments and restricted/repetitive behaviours and interests) and intelligence quotient. A total of 20 studies were included in a qualitative review of sex/gender differences in additional autism spectrum condition symptoms. For core traits and intelligence quotient, sex/gender differences were comparable in autism spectrum conditions and typical samples. Some additional autism spectrum condition symptoms displayed different patterns of sex/gender differences in autism spectrum conditions and typically developing groups, including measures of executive function, empathising and systemising traits, internalising and externalising problems and play behaviours. Individuals with autism spectrum conditions display typical sex/gender differences in core autism spectrum condition traits, suggesting that diagnostic criteria based on these symptoms should take into account typical sex/gender differences. However, awareness of associated autism spectrum condition symptoms should include the possibility of different male and female phenotypes, to ensure those who do not fit the ?typical? autism spectrum condition presentation are not missed.

Camouflaging in an everyday social context: An interpersonal recall study / Julia COOK in Autism, 25-5 (July 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 25-5 (July 2021) . - p.1444-1456 Titre : Camouflaging in an everyday social context: An interpersonal recall study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Julia COOK, Auteur ; Laura CRANE, Auteur ; Laura BOURNE, Auteur ; Laura HULL, Auteur ; William MANDY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1444-1456 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adult  Anxiety Disorders  Autism Spectrum Disorder  Autistic Disorder  Humans  Social Behavior  Universities  adults  autism spectrum disorders  qualitative research  social behaviour  social cognition Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Many autistic people report that, despite personal costs, they use strategies to hide their autistic characteristics or appear non-autistic at work, school or university, when speaking with health professionals, or while socialising with certain friends and family members. These strategies are often referred to as camouflaging. This study explores camouflaging during everyday social interactions. A total of 17 autistic adults were filmed taking part in a common everyday social situation - a conversation with a stranger. They then watched the video of this conversation with a researcher and answered questions about camouflaging. These autistic people told us that they (1) had a strong desire to socialise with and be valued by other people but, because of negative past experiences, they often felt unsure about their ability to do so; (2) used camouflaging to help them to socialise and be valued by others; (3) experienced negative consequences when camouflaging (e.g. fatigue, anxiety and difficulties in friendships); and (4) sometimes socialised in more autistic ways instead of camouflaging. This study shows us how autistic people often change their behaviour because of the way they are treated by nonautistic people and that autistic people may benefit from programmes that help them to socialise in more authentically autistic ways, but only if their autistic social behaviour is met with understanding and acceptance from non-autistic people.

Cognitive Predictors of Self-Reported Camouflaging in Autistic Adolescents / Laura HULL in Autism Research, 14-3 (March 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-3 (March 2021) . - p.523-532 Titre : Cognitive Predictors of Self-Reported Camouflaging in Autistic Adolescents Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Laura HULL, Auteur ; K. V. PETRIDES, Auteur ; William MANDY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.523-532 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescence  camouflaging  compensation  executive function  masking Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Camouflaging involves masking and/or compensating for autistic characteristics and has been identified in autistic individuals through a variety of different methods. Individual variation in the extent, processes and outcomes of camouflaging has been reported in autistic adults, and there has been some investigation of camouflaging by autistic adolescents. This study was conducted to better understand how some of these individual differences emerge, by examining potential mechanisms (theory of mind, executive function, intelligence quotient and age) involved in camouflaging by 58 autistic adolescents aged 13-18?years (29 females, 29 males). Fewer executive function difficulties predicted greater use of total camouflaging strategies and the compensation subscale, but not the masking or assimilation subscales; no other predictors reached statistical significance. These findings suggest that individual differences in executive function ability may underlie variation in the use of camouflaging by adolescents. The total variance explained in the model was small, suggesting the need to examine other factors which may underpin camouflaging. The implications of this finding for the relationship between camouflaging and well-being are discussed, along with the distinction between attempts to camouflage and the efficacy of those attempts. LAY SUMMARY: Camouflaging involves hiding your autism or finding ways around difficulties in order to fit in during social situations. This study found that autistic teenagers with good executive function abilities camouflage their autism more than those who struggle with executive function (which includes planning, goal-direction and memory). This may have implications for teenagers' mental health and their social functioning.
