Gender identity and sexual orientation in autism spectrum disorder / R. GEORGE in Autism, 22-8 (November 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 22-8 (November 2018) . - p.970-982 Titre : Gender identity and sexual orientation in autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : R.

STOKES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.970-982 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : and transgender  autism spectrum disorder  bisexual  gay  gender identity  gender-dysphoria  heterosexuality  homosexuality  lesbian  sexual orientation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Clinical impressions indicate that there is an overrepresentation of gender-dysphoria within the autism spectrum disorder. However, little is presently known about the demographics of gender-identity issues in autism spectrum disorder. Based upon what little is known, we hypothesized that there would be an increased prevalence of gender-dysphoria among those with autism spectrum disorder compared to a typically developing population. We surveyed gender-dysphoria with the Gender-Identity/Gender-Dysphoria Questionnaire among 90 males and 219 females with autism spectrum disorder and compared these rates to those of 103 males and 158 females without autism spectrum disorder. When compared to typically developing individuals, autistic individuals reported a higher number of gender-dysphoric traits. Rates of gender-dysphoria in the group with autism spectrum disorder were significantly higher than reported in the wider population. Mediation analysis found that the relationship between autistic traits and sexual orientation was mediated by gender-dysphoric traits. Results suggest that autism spectrum disorder presents a unique experience to the formation and consolidation of gender identity, and for some autistic individuals, their sexual orientation relates to their gender experience. It is important that clinicians working with autism spectrum disorder are aware of the gender-diversity in this population so that the necessary support for healthy socio-sexual functioning and mental well-being is provided.

A Quantitative Analysis of Mental Health Among Sexual and Gender Minority Groups in ASD / R. GEORGE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-6 (June 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 48-6 (June 2018) . - p.2052-2063 Titre : A Quantitative Analysis of Mental Health Among Sexual and Gender Minority Groups in ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : R. GEORGE, Auteur ; M. A. STOKES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2052-2063 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Gender  Sexual orientation  Sexuality  Well-being Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is increased mental-health adversity among individuals with autism spectrum disorder. At the same time, sexual and gender minority groups experience poorer mental-health when compared to heteronormative populations. Recent research suggests that autistic individuals report increased non-heterosexuality and gender-dysphoric traits. The current study aimed to investigate whether as membership of minority grouping becomes increasingly narrowed, mental health worsened. The present study compared the rates of depression, anxiety, and stress using the DASS-21 and Personal Well-Being using the personal well-being index between 261 typically-developing individuals and 309 autistic individuals. As membership to a minority group became more restrictive, mental health symptoms worsened (p < .01), suggesting stressors added. Specialized care is recommended for this vulnerable cohort.
