NEWELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.473-484 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism acceptance  Camouflaging  Masking  Mental health Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Mental health difficulties are highly prevalent in individuals on the autism spectrum. The current study examined how experiences and perceptions of autism acceptance could impact on the mental health of autistic adults. 111 adults on the autism spectrum completed an online survey examining their experiences of autism acceptance, along with symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. Regression analyses showed that autism acceptance from external sources and personal acceptance significantly predicted depression. Acceptance from others also significantly predicted stress but acceptance did not predict anxiety. Further analyses suggested that experiences of "camouflaging" could relate to higher rates of depression. The current study highlights the importance of considering how autism acceptance could contribute to mental health in autism.

Understanding, attitudes and dehumanisation towards autistic people / Eilidh CAGE in Autism, 23-6 (August 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 23-6 (August 2019) . - p.1373-1383 Titre : Understanding, attitudes and dehumanisation towards autistic people Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Eilidh CAGE, Auteur ; J. DI MONACO, Auteur ; V. NEWELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1373-1383 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : attitudes  autism spectrum conditions  autism understanding  dehumanisation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research suggests that while individuals may self-report positive attitudes towards autism, dehumanising attitudes (seeing another as less than human) may still prevail. This study investigated knowledge, openness and dehumanising attitudes of non-autistic people towards autistic people. A total of 361 participants completed a survey measuring autism openness, knowledge and experience, along with a measure of dehumanisation. Results showed that knowledge of autism was comparable to past research and females were more open towards autism. Findings also indicated evidence for dehumanisation, with a particular denial of 'human uniqueness' traits. Furthermore, dehumanisation was related to openness towards autism. These findings have implications for targeting attitudes to reduce stigma associated with autism.
