Research has yet to identify the mechanisms underlying this increased risk. This study examined perceived social support as a potential protective factor for depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation in 76 adults with ASD. Twenty-five percent of participants were in the clinical range for depression, and 20% reported recent suicidal ideation. Social support in the form of appraisal and belonging was not associated with depression or ideation; however the perceived availability of tangible (material) support indirectly acted on ideation through depression. The findings suggest that tangible support, but not appraisal or belonging, may act as an indirect protective factor against suicidality in ASD.

Transition to work: Perspectives from the autism spectrum / Darren HEDLEY in Autism, 22-5 (July 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 22-5 (July 2018) . - p.528-541 Titre : Transition to work: Perspectives from the autism spectrum Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Darren HEDLEY, Auteur ; Ru CAI, Auteur ; Mirko ULJAREVIĆ, Auteur ; Mathilda WILMOT, Auteur ; Jennifer R. SPOOR, Auteur ; Amanda L. RICHDALE, Auteur ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.528-541 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults  autism spectrum disorder  barriers  enablers  outcome  qualitative research  supported employment  vocational/labour force participation  work Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : To improve employment outcomes for adults with autism spectrum disorder, it is necessary to identify factors associated with successful transition to work from the perspectives of the individual and from those who work with or support them. This study involved focus groups with adults with autism spectrum disorder ( n = 9) participating in a 3-year employment and training programme, as well as focus groups with family members ( n = 6), support staff ( n = 7) and co-workers ( n = 6). The aim was to gain better understanding of the experience of transition to work, barriers and also the factors that promote workplace success. Main themes included factors that facilitated success at work ( Enablers), barriers to success ( Challenges) and programme outcomes ( Outcomes). Organisation support, advice from co-workers, supportive leadership, allowance of environmental modifications and presence of a consultant were identified as enablers that most facilitated success at work. Challenges included task-related difficulties, individual factors, social difficulties and distractibility, not managing work-related stress, and being perceived to be too frank. Outcomes were rated as positive and encompassed work-related outcomes, as well as outcomes related to sense of purpose, achieving personal independence and improvements in social relationships, both with work colleagues and within families.

Understanding depression and thoughts of self-harm in autism: A potential mechanism involving loneliness / Darren HEDLEY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 46 (February 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 46 (February 2018) . - p.1-7 Titre : Understanding depression and thoughts of self-harm in autism: A potential mechanism involving loneliness Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Darren HEDLEY, Auteur ; Mirko ULJAREVIĆ, Auteur ; Mathilda WILMOT, Auteur ; Amanda L. RICHDALE, Auteur ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adults  Autism spectrum disorder  Depression  Loneliness  Risk  Risk factors  Self-harm  Suicide Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractBackground Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are at increased risk of suicidal ideation and behavior. This study characterized the inter-relationships between loneliness, depression and thoughts of self-harm in adults with ASD. Method Participants were 71 adults with ASD who completed questionnaires that provided information on loneliness, depression and thoughts of self-harm. Relationships between study variables were examined with correlations and a regression analysis. Two exploratory mediation models were then explored. Model 1 tested whether the relationship between depression and thoughts of self-harm was mediated through loneliness. Model 2 tested whether loneliness acted on thoughts of self-harm through depression. Results Twenty-six percent of participants met the clinical cut-off for depression and 21% reported thoughts of self-harm. Depressive symptoms, loneliness, and thoughts of self-harm were significantly correlated. Only Model 2, that identified an indirect pathway from loneliness, through depression to thoughts of self-harm, was supported. The mediator for this model accounted for 56.7% of the total effect. Conclusions This study examined potential mechanisms underlying depression and thoughts of self-harm in ASD. These results highlight a possible contribution of loneliness to depression and thoughts of self-harm, suggesting treatment options that target loneliness may prove beneficial in improving mental health outcomes in ASD.
