WHITEHOUSE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 36 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Eye-tracking could expedite autism identification/diagnosis through standardisation and objectivity. We tested whether Gazefinder autism assessment, with Classification Algorithm derived from gaze fixation durations, would have good accuracy (area under the curve [AUC] ≥ 0.80) to differentiate 2-4-year-old autistic from non-autistic children. METHODS: Community sampling (March 2019-March 2021) of 2:00–4:11 year-olds included children recruited into a diagnosed Autism Group (‘cases’) and Non-Autism ‘Control’ Group (with likely undiagnosed autism minimised). We recruited well beyond minimum necessary sample size to ensure within-group heterogeneity and allow exploratory subgroup analysis. Alongside Gazefinder eye-tracking attempted with all recruited participants, we collected parent-report measures for all children, and clinical/behavioural measures with autistic children. RESULTS: 102 autistic (81.4% male; M(age)= 44mths; SD = 8.8) and 101 non-autistic children (57.4% male; M = 40; SD = 10.5) were recruited and eligible; the former slightly older, proportionately more male, and reflecting greater socio-demographic diversity. Gazefinder autism assessment was completed with 101 non-autistic children (n = 1 returning minimal data), and attempted with 100- and completed with 96 autistic children (n = 2 not attempted following adverse responses to clinical testing; n = 4 attempted but unable to calibrate). The Non-Autism Group returned significantly more overall tracking data. The final Classification Algorithm (range 0-100; threshold score = 28.6)—derived from n = 196 children’s fixation durations to elements of social/non-social scenes, human face presentations, and referential attention trials—had AUC = 0.82 (sensitivity = 0.82, specificity = 0.70). Compared to those correctly classified, autistic children misclassified as ‘controls’ showed greater overall tracking, and less pronounced autism features and developmental disability. Compared to correctly classified non-autistic children, those misclassified as ‘cases’ were older with lower overall tracking. LIMITATIONS: Our groups differed on socio-demographic characteristics and overall tracking (included within the Classification Algorithm). We used the ‘Scene 10A’ stimulus set as provided, without update/modification. Industry employees who developed the final Algorithm were non-blinded to child group, and considered only gaze fixation durations. Community sampling and ‘case-control’ design—comparing diagnosed autistic vs. non-autistic children—could be improved via future referral-based recruitment. CONCLUSIONS: Most children tolerated Gazefinder autism assessment, and our Classification Algorithm properties approached those reported from other Gazefinder use and established clinical assessments. Independent replication is required, and research informing the most suitable clinical application of this technology.

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

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.

Exploring autistic adults' psychosocial experiences affecting beginnings, continuity and change in camouflaging over time: A qualitative study in Singapore / Beatrice Rui Yi LOO in Autism, 28-3 (March 2024)

Very little is known to date about the course of camouflaging motivations and strategies over time or the psychosocial factors that may influence autistic people?s camouflaging choices and trajectories. In an exploratory qualitative study within an Asian sociocultural context, we interviewed 11 Singaporean autistic adults (9 males, 2 females, aged 22-45 years) about their camouflaging experiences to better understand (1) their camouflaging motivations and strategies over time, and (2) related psychosocial influences. Organised across four phases (pre-camouflaging, beginnings, continuity and change over time), 17 themes relating to camouflaging motivations and 8 themes relating to strategies were identified. The earliest camouflaging motivations were predominantly relational, linked to a negative self-identity that had been shaped by adverse social experiences. Camouflaging strategies became increasingly complex and integrated into one?s sense of self over time. Our findings highlight the role of psychosocial pressures precipitating camouflaging and emphasise the need for individual and societal changes, including moving towards enhanced acceptance and inclusion to reduce psychosocial pressures on autistic people to camouflage. Lay Abstract Over their lifetimes, many autistic people learn to camouflage (hide or mask) their autism-related differences to forge relationships, find work and live independently in largely non-autistic societies. Autistic adults have described camouflaging as a 'lifetime of conditioning . . . to act normal' involving 'years of effort', suggesting that camouflaging develops over an autistic person s lifetime and may start early on, in childhood or adolescence. Yet, we know very little about why and how autistic people start to camouflage, or why and how their camouflaging behaviours continue or change over time. We interviewed 11 Singaporean autistic adults (9 male, 2 female, 22-45 years old) who shared their camouflaging experiences. We found that autistic adults' earliest motivations to camouflage were largely related to the desire to fit in and connect with others. They also camouflaged to avoid difficult social experiences (such as being teased or bullied). Autistic adults shared that their camouflaging behaviours became more complex and that, for some, camouflaging became a part of their self-identity over time. Our findings suggest that society should not pathologise autistic differences, but instead accept and include autistic people, to reduce the pressure on autistic people to hide who they truly are.

These negative impressions may be associated with immediate behavioral responses, as well as long-lasting attitudes toward those being observed that may negatively impact their psychosocial wellbeing. This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesized the existing literature that has compared first impressions toward autistic and non-autistic people to investigate whether first impressions are influenced by: (1) type of first impression measure, (2) modality of stimulus presentation, and (3) characteristics of the observers and/or stimulus participants. Key inclusion criteria were: (1) one or more groups of observers provided first impression ratings, (2) the stimuli were presented in either audio-only, video-only, audio?video, still image, or speech transcript format, and (3) first impressions toward autistic and non-autistic individuals were compared. A systematic search identified a final sample of 21 articles, which included 221 effects for analyses. Findings showed that first impressions were generally less favorable for autistic compared to non-autistic people across all presentation modalities other than speech transcript, with effect sizes typically moderate to large. Differences in first impressions toward autistic and non-autistic people were generally more pronounced for ratings of interpersonal attraction and social and communication presentation, rather than for ratings of psychological and personality traits. There was also some evidence that characteristics of non-autistic observers, such as autism knowledge and quality of contact with autistic people, impact first impressions. These findings provide insight into the critical role first impressions play in influencing social interaction between autistic and non-autistic individuals.
