Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 43-44 (November 2017) . - p.18-26 Titre : Mind-mindedness in mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Elizabeth KIRK, Auteur ; Shivani SHARMA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.18-26 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Maternal mind-mindedness  Parenting stress  Parenting Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractBackground Little is currently understood about the ways in which caregivers represent the internal mental states of their child with autism. Previous research has shown that being mind-minded can limit the experience of parenting stress in typically developing samples. The current study explored mind-mindedness in mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and examined whether this related to the experience of parenting stress. Method Mind-mindedness was coded from mothers’ descriptions of their child obtained from an online survey (N = 55). A subsample of these mothers also provided data on a non-ASD sibling (n = 27). We compared mothers’ mind-mindedness when describing their child with ASD and a non-ASD sibling. Results Mothers predominantly described their child with ASD using mental and behavioral attributes. There were no overall differences in mothers’ use of mental state descriptors when referring to their child with ASD or a sibling, however, when considering the valence of descriptors, a significantly higher proportion of the mental attributes used to describe the child with ASD were negative. Associations between mind-mindedness and overall parenting stress failed to reach significance. Conclusions Parenting a child with ASD does not appear to limit the parent’s ability to tune-in to their child’s mind. Maternal mind-mindedness scores were similar for the ASD and non-ASD sibling, although there were differences in the valence of representations. Being mind-minded did not protect against parenting stress, however we suggest that the high levels of stress experienced by our sample were beyond the protective reach of mind-mindedness.

The impact of socio-cultural values on autistic women: An interpretative phenomenological analysis / Stella MO in Autism, 26-4 (May 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 26-4 (May 2022) . - p.951-962 Titre : The impact of socio-cultural values on autistic women: An interpretative phenomenological analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Stella MO, Auteur ; Nina VILJOEN, Auteur ; Shivani SHARMA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.951-962 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder  Autistic Disorder  Cognition  Female  Humans  Intellectual Disability  Male  autism  culture  identity  interpretative phenomenological analysis  women  conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship and/or publication  of this article. Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic women with average or above intellectual abilities are often overlooked clinically or identified at older ages compared to autistic males. Their experiences can provide insight into the socio-cultural factors that impact on how they develop and are seen by others. This study asked autistic women to describe the culture around them and explore how this has influenced their lived experiences. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight autistic women without a co-occurring diagnosis of intellectual disabilities. These were used for interpretative phenomenological analysis. Overall, we found three closely connected themes on the pervasive influence of cultural values on autistic women, how autistic women define themselves and the importance of connecting with society. These findings suggest that dominant cultural beliefs, values and norms effect how autistic women are recognised by others and develop their sense of self. Broadening how people think about autistic women in society and clinically may benefit how we identify and support autistic women.
