Brief Report: Sexual Orientation in Individuals with Autistic Traits: Population Based Study of 47,000 Adults in Stockholm County / C. E. S. RUDOLPH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-2 (February 2018)

Autistic traits were measured with the ten items Autistic Quotient questionnaire using a cut-off score of >/= 6. Sexual orientation was assessed by self-report. Multinomial logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for sexual orientation categories. Participants with autistic traits were more likely to identify as bisexual (OR 1.73; 95% CI 1.01-2.9) and to feel that their sexual orientation could neither be described as hetero-, homo- nor bisexual (OR 3.05; 95% CI 2.56-3.63), compared to individuals without autistic traits. Autistic traits are associated with minority sexual orientation, and perhaps with uncertain self-identification and/or a defiance of traditional ways of categorizing sexual identity.

Measuring Autism Traits in the Adult General Population with the Brief Autism-Spectrum Quotient, AQ-10: Findings from the Stockholm Public Health Cohort / A. LUNDIN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-2 (February 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 49-2 (February 2019) . - p.773-780 Titre : Measuring Autism Traits in the Adult General Population with the Brief Autism-Spectrum Quotient, AQ-10: Findings from the Stockholm Public Health Cohort Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : A.

DALMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.773-780 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Attention switching  Attention to details  Autistic traits  Imagination  Routine  Social skills Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: The autism-spectrum quotient scale was developed to study autism as a spectrum. Few studies have examined the psychometric properties of the 10 item AQ (AQ-10). We examine the AQ-10 measurement ability and convergent validity in a population health survey (n = 44,722). METHODS: The item severity and item discrimination was assessed using item response theory. Convergent validity was assessed by regressing on ADHD, psychological distress (PD) and having an education in the sciences. RESULTS: Whilst unidimensional, the AQ-10 had some poorly fitting items. Item discrimination ranged from very low to very high. The scale correlated as hypothesised with the regress expected when factoring in ADHD, PD and possessing an eduction in the sciences. CONCLUSION: The AQ-10 has adequate validity in the present sample and may be used in s as a measure of autistic traits. In Conclusion, The AQ-10 has adequate validity to be used in health surveys as a measure of autistic traits, although some items may perform poorly.
