MCPHERSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1096-1105 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders children and youth health communication obesity qualitative research Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children with autism spectrum disorders appear to be at a higher risk of having obesity than their typically developing peers. Although it has been recommended that healthcare providers speak to children with autism spectrum disorders about the potential health risks of unhealthy weight, no previous research has explored how healthcare providers communicate with them about this topic. The purpose of this study was to explore children's perspectives and experiences of discussing weight-related topics in healthcare consultations. Eight children were interviewed, and an interpretive phenomenological analysis informed the research approach and analysis of the data. Results indicated that weight-related discussions with healthcare providers were often met with trepidation, anxiety, anger, and frustration. Children also expressed that they experienced weight stigma in clinical visits and everyday interactions. Weight stigma was often (unwittingly) projected by healthcare providers during appointments and had debilitating effects on children. Finally, higher weights emerged as a repetitive/restricted interest, and children reported body image challenges regarding their higher weights. Frameworks and tools that are specific to the needs and abilities of children with autism spectrum disorders are needed for healthcare providers to foster positive conversations about weight-related topics in an effort to promote lifelong wellness.

Titre : Parents’ perspectives of physical activity participation among Canadian adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sarah GREGOR, Auteur ; Nicole BRUNI, Auteur ; Petar GRKINIC, Auteur ; Lindsey SCHWARTZ, Auteur ; Aimee MCDONALD, Auteur ; Patricia THILLE, Auteur ; Sharon GABISON, Auteur ; Barbara E. GIBSON, Auteur ; Patrick JACHYRA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.53-62 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) Physical activity Health Co-morbid conditions Qualitative research Physiotherapy Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Despite the numerous health and social benefits of regular physical activity participation, adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are less likely to be active compared to their age-related peers. Yet, little is known why they are predominantly inactive, with a paucity of research that has examined how socio-behavioural mechanisms influence their participation. With no previous research in Canada, and very limited research in this area, this study examined parents’ perspectives and experiences of physical activity participation. Method Ten in-depth interviews were conducted with parents of adolescents with ASD. Interview data was analyzed thematically. Results Parents prioritized behavioural/communication interventions over physical activity throughout their adolescent’s life. This prioritization was most pronounced during childhood, and the lack of participation during their formative years shaped physical activity interests in adolescence. Second, parents also described experiencing systemic challenges when accessing physical activity programs, including a lack of awareness of ASD among service providers, funding challenges, and limited/few program options. The lack of PA individualization and competing commitments contributed to tremendous strain on families. Third, the findings suggest early guidance is needed to help parents balance family life, schooling, and therapies with PA. Conclusion Findings suggest that biological and socio-behavioural mechanisms functioned concurrently to influence physical activity participation. A family-centred, multidisciplinary collaborative approach that includes health care practitioners such as physical therapists can potentially be used to facilitate physical activity participation. Efforts educating community service providers about ASD are also needed in an effort to increase participation.

Titre : Perspectives and experiences of physical activity among autistic adults in middle adulthood Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : James MCLEOD, Auteur ; Martin RODERICK, Auteur ; Mary HANLEY, Auteur ; Deborah M. RIBY, Auteur ; Patrick JACHYRA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3058-3071 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autistic adults neurodivergent-informed physical activity neuro-normative assumptions physical activity qualitative research trauma-informed approach Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Physical activity (PA) participation among autistic adults is low; however, it is unclear why this is the case. To date, little research has included the perspectives of autistic adults during middle adulthood to understand how to support their PA and to understand the complexity of their daily lives. Seventeen autistic adults aged 36-59 years participated in two online, semi-structured interviews (N = 34). Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyze the data, and the socio-ecological model was applied to interpret the themes. Reflexive notes (N = 34) made during the research process also were analyzed to support the rigour of the interpretations. Neuro-normative assumptions about autism and PA, the importance of trust and sensory sensitivities shaped PA participation for these autistic adults. The new concept of neuro-normative assumptions highlights how pervasive assumptions were damaging, made it difficult to build trust and decreased the predilection of PA participation. This article delivers original and significant knowledge and calls on the field to co-produce neurodivergent-informed PA practices that are reflective of the lives, needs and abilities of autistic adults. We conclude the article by highlighting how a trauma-informed approach may have potential value in building trust and supporting autistic adults in PA.Lay Abstract What is already known? Autistic adults experience barriers to participating in physical activity (PA), and their rates of participation are low. This is a problem because PA participation can contribute many health and well-being benefits. There is a need for research to better understand how to support their PA participation. Working directly with autistic adults is of utmost importance as minimal research has directly included their perspectives.What this article adds: Seventeen autistic adults from the United Kingdom participated in two online semi-structured interviews (N = 34). Interview data were accompanied by reflexive notes which were a way for the research team to provide preliminary analyses and think about the data during the research process (N = 34). Together, interview transcripts and memos were analyzed to generate themes across the interview transcripts. We used the socio-ecological model to examine the different components that impact PA participation. The study highlights how neuro-normative assumptions about PA, trust and sensory sensitivities shaped PA participation for autistic adults. A lack of understanding and knowledge among movement professionals about autism, their needs, interests and abilities and trust significantly impacted participation. Assumptions and limited understandings about autism limited participation, as the forms of PA available often were not suitable to the diverse needs, interests and abilities of autistic adults.Implications for practice, research or policy: The insights highlight the importance of co-producing neurodivergent-informed PA practices that are reflective of the needs, strengths and abilities of autistic adults. Finally, we outline how the use of a trauma-informed approach to PA may be valuable in building trust and supporting PA participation. This is the first study to use this approach for PA with autistic adults.

GIBSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.613-626 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescents autism spectrum disorder digital storytelling physical activity physical health qualitative research Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Adolescents with autism spectrum disorder are less likely to be physically active compared to their age-related peers. Despite the lower levels of physical activity observed among adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, it is unknown why they are predominantly inactive. Much of the research so far has focused on understanding how biological aspects influence physical activity participation. But there is little research that has examined how social and cultural components influence their physical activity participation. There is also little research that has sought the perspectives and experiences of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. In this study, 10 adolescent boys with autism spectrum disorder created a digital story, and also participated in two face-to-face interviews. The purpose of the study was to examine how individual, social, and cultural forces influenced physical activity participation. Analysis of the data highlight that bullying, challenges in community programs, and the prioritization of therapeutic interventions limited participation. On the contrary, participants were more likely to be active when physical activity generated meaning, purpose, a sense of identity, and affective pleasures. The findings add new knowledge suggesting that adolescents with autism spectrum disorder are not simply unmotivated. Rather, physical activity participation was shaped by wider social experiences, norms, values, and practices in which they were immersed. The findings suggest a need for directed efforts to create policies and practices which are individualized and reflective of the needs and abilities of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder to promote physical activity participation and potentially enhance physical health and wellbeing.

Titre : Premature mortality in a population-based cohort of autistic adults in Canada Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Yona LUNSKY, Auteur ; Meng-Chuan LAI, Auteur ; Robert BALOGH, Auteur ; Hannah CHUNG, Auteur ; Anna DURBIN, Auteur ; Patrick JACHYRA, Auteur ; Ami TINT, Auteur ; Jonathan WEISS, Auteur ; Elizabeth LIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1550-1559 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adult Autism Spectrum Disorder/epidemiology Autistic Disorder/epidemiology Child Cohort Studies Developmental Disabilities/epidemiology Female Humans Infant, Newborn Male Mortality, Premature Ontario/epidemiology autism developmental disabilities premature mortality sex differences Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research from different countries suggests that autistic adults are more likely to die prematurely than non-autistic adults, but these studies do not always investigate male and female individuals separately and do not consider whether this pattern is unique to autistic people or is also an issue for people with other developmental disabilities. We examined premature mortality in autistic males and females (assigned at birth) in a population-based cohort, compared to males and females with and without other developmental disabilities. Using linked administrative health and social services population data from Ontario, Canada, age-matched males and females aged 19-65years were followed between 2010 and 2016, and causes of death were determined. Over the 6-year observation period, 330 of 42,607 persons (0.77%) in the group without developmental disabilities had died compared to 259 of 10,646 persons (2.43%) in the autism group and 419 of 10,615 persons (3.95%) in the other developmental disabilities group. Autistic males and females were more likely to die than non-autistic males (adjusted risk ratio, RR 3.13, 95%CI 2.58-3.79) and non-autistic females (adjusted RR 3.12, 95%CI 2.35-4.13) without developmental disabilities, but were less likely to die than adults with other developmental disabilities (males: adjusted RR 0.66, 95%CI 0.55-0.79; females: adjusted RR 0.55, 95%CI 0.43-0.71). Most common causes of death varied depending on a person's sex and diagnosis. Given the greater likelihood of premature mortality in adults with developmental disabilities including autism, greater attention and resources directed toward their health and social care are needed, tailored to their sex and diagnosis-informed needs. LAY SUMMARY: This study looked at how many autistic men and women died over 6years (2010-2016), along with how they died, and compared this to adults who did not have autism living in Ontario, Canada. It found that autistic men and women were more than three times as likely to die as people of the same age who did not have a developmental disability. However, adults with other developmental disabilities besides autism were even more likely to die than autistic adults. This means that we have to pay more attention and invest in better social and health care for autistic people, along with people who have other types of developmental disabilities.
