The results obtained by adolescents with autism spectrum disorder were compared with those of typically developing girls and boys. Correlations between parents? and adolescents? ratings were also analyzed. Participants were 35 girls and 35 boys with autism spectrum disorder, aged 11 18 years, matched for chronological age and full-scale IQ. The control group consisted of 24 typically developing girls and 24 boys of the same age and IQ. The parents of adolescent participants were also included in the study. The measures used were the Child Behavior Checklist (4 18) completed by parents and Youth Self-Report (11 18) completed by adolescents. The adolescents with autism spectrum disorder presented higher levels of behavioral and emotional problems than the control group, according to both the parents? reports and the adolescents? self-reports. No sex differences were found in that respect. More differences between the assessments of adolescents and their parents occurred in the control group, and the effect size was larger.

Measuring camouflaging of autistic traits in autistic and non-autistic adults: Validation of the Polish CAT-Q (CAT-Q-PL) / Agnieszka SIEDLER in Research in Autism, 136 (August 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 136 (August 2026) . - 202966 Titre : Measuring camouflaging of autistic traits in autistic and non-autistic adults: Validation of the Polish CAT-Q (CAT-Q-PL) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Agnieszka SIEDLER, Auteur ; Ewa PISULA, Auteur ; Katarzyna TOMASZEK, Auteur ; Anna BANASIAK, Auteur ; Laura HULL, Auteur ; Edyta IDCZAK-PACEŚ, Auteur ; Joanna KOSSEWSKA, Auteur ; Anna PYSZKOWSKA, Auteur ; Agata WĘDZONKA, Auteur ; Ewa ZASĘPA, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202966 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic traits  Camouflaging  CAT-Q  Validation  Autism spectrum Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Camouflaging refers to strategies used to compensate for or conceal autism-related traits in social contexts and has received increasing attention due to its implications for diagnosis and well-being. Although prior work on the Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q) generally supports good psychometric properties across language versions, questions remain about construct equivalence across groups defined by diagnostic status or sex/gender. We validated the Polish CAT-Q (CAT-Q-PL) in 1421 adults (331 self-reported autism diagnosis, 287 self-identifying as autistic without a formal diagnosis, and 803 non-autistic). Exploratory factor analysis supported the intended three-factor structure (Compensation, Masking, Assimilation), whereas confirmatory factor analysis showed suboptimal fit, particularly in the non-autistic and self-identifying groups. Internal consistency was acceptable to excellent. Multi-group CFA supported full measurement invariance across gender; across identification-group contrasts, metric invariance was supported but scalar/threshold invariance was not, limiting latent mean comparisons. In the diagnosed autistic and non-autistic groups, CAT-Q-PL scores were associated with autistic traits and with depression, anxiety, and stress, whereas associations were weaker and less consistent in the self-identifying group. Overall, the CAT-Q-PL appears suitable for research use in Polish adult samples, although some item-level refinement is warranted. Further measurement work is needed to clarify the stability and conceptual equivalence of camouflaging across groups differing in diagnostic status and gender, particularly given the limited number of men included in the study. The findings also indicate the need for more in-depth comparative research on the properties of the CAT-Q and, more broadly, on the phenomenon of camouflaging across different linguistic and cultural contexts.

Supporting Ukrainian refugees on the autism spectrum in Polish educational and therapy centers: The perspective of professionals / Ewa PISULA in Research in Autism, 132 (April 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 132 (April 2026) . - 202846 Titre : Supporting Ukrainian refugees on the autism spectrum in Polish educational and therapy centers: The perspective of professionals Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ewa PISULA, Auteur ; Anna BANASIAK, Auteur ; Barbara WINCZURA, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202846 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum  Ukraine  Refugees  Children  Family support  Professionals Résumé : As a result of the humanitarian crisis following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, millions of refugees arrived in Poland. This article presents the study on the educational and therapeutic support provided to children on the autism spectrum and their families who came to Poland during the first six months after the invasion. The online study involved 63 professionals supporting refugees, mainly in educational institutions and organizations working for people on the autism spectrum. Participants were asked to report not on individual cases but on the majority of autistic refugees who received support from the institutions they represented. The results indicate that, during this period of the war, the Polish institutions primarily dealt with children on the autism spectrum, requiring extensive support. Polish professionals focused on diagnosing the children's needs and organizing educational and therapeutic activities similar to those offered to children in Poland. Caregivers were also assisted, though most institutions were unable to organize appropriate therapeutic support due to war-related trauma and migration stress. The most significant barriers Polish professionals experienced included communication issues, a lack of proper legal regulations, and financial resources. Concerns of caregivers and some of their reluctance towards autism-related services in Poland were also noted. The study reflects some essential aspects of supporting children on the autism spectrum in the context of war and migration crises. Lay abstract As a result of the humanitarian crisis following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, millions of refugees arrived in Poland. The precise number of children on the autism spectrum among them is unknown. However, Polish professionals faced the challenge of supporting this group as well.

The online study involved 63 professionals supporting refugees, mainly in educational institutions and organizations working for people on the autism spectrum. We asked them about their view of the primary needs of refugees on the autism spectrum, a form of support provided for them, and the barriers faced by Polish professionals in this area.
