Beyond Modularisation: The Need of a Socio-Neuro-Constructionist Model of Autism / Beatriz LOPEZ in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-1 (January 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 45-1 (January 2015) . - p.31-41 Titre : Beyond Modularisation: The Need of a Socio-Neuro-Constructionist Model of Autism Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Beatriz LOPEZ, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.31-41 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Neuro-contructivism  Developmental trajectories  Engagement  Intersubjectivity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism is a developmental disorder defined by social and communication impairments. Current theoretical approaches and research studies however conceptualise autism as both static and independent from the social context in which it develops. Two lines of research stand out from this general trend. First, research from the neuroconstructivist approach of Karmiloff-Smith (Hum Brain Mapp 31:934–941, 2010) aims to establish developmental trajectories of cognitive impairments in autism over time. Second, studies from intersubjective approaches such as that of Hobson (The cradle of thought, Macmillan, London, 2002) focus on the influence of emotional engagement in cognitive impairments. Although these two lines of research have made an invaluable contribution towards our understanding of autism, both offer only partial explanations: Intersubjective approaches fail to provide a developmental perspective and the neuroconstructivist model neglects the role of the social context. This paper argues that the nature of autism demands the theoretical and methodological integration of these two approaches so that developmental and social aspects are investigated in tandem.

Factually based autism awareness campaigns may not always be effective in changing attitudes towards autism: Evidence from British and South Korean nursing students / Saoirse MAC CÁRTHAIGH in Autism, 24-5 (July 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 24-5 (July 2020) . - p.1177-1190 Titre : Factually based autism awareness campaigns may not always be effective in changing attitudes towards autism: Evidence from British and South Korean nursing students Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Saoirse MAC CÁRTHAIGH, Auteur ; Beatriz LOPEZ, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1177-1190 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Quotient  South Korea  attitudes  broader autism phenotype  cross-cultural  healthcare professionals  knowledge  nurses  nursing students Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study explored the relationship between autism knowledge, autistic traits, frequency of contact with autistic people and attitudes towards these individuals in British and South Korean student nurses and whether these relationships were affected by the presence of autistic traits. In total, 331 participants (156 South Korean and 175 British) completed self-report measures of autism knowledge, attitudes towards autistic people, frequency of contact with these individuals and autistic traits. Although British participants demonstrated greater knowledge and more favourable attitudes, significant knowledge gaps were noted in both groups. Among British participants, knowledge was found to be only a marginal predictor of attitudes, whereas neither knowledge nor frequency of contact were predictive of attitudes among South Korean participants. Contrary to previous research findings, cultural differences in the presence of autistic traits were not noted, nor were these traits found to be related to attitudes towards autistic people. The findings suggest that awareness initiatives which aim to address attitudes towards autism need more than simply increasing factual knowledge. More importantly, the results suggest that Western-developed autism awareness initiatives may be ineffectual if cultural differences are not considered.

How central is central coherence? / Beatriz LOPEZ in Autism, 12-2 (March 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 12-2 (March 2008) . - p.159-171 Titre : How central is central coherence? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Beatriz LOPEZ, Auteur ; Susan R. LEEKAM, Auteur ; Gerda R .J. ARTS, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.159-171 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism central-coherence-theory face-perception semantic-memory Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study aimed to test the assumption drawn from weak central coherence theory that a central cognitive mechanism is responsible for integrating information at both conceptual and perceptual levels. A visual semantic memory task and a face recognition task measuring use of holistic information were administered to 15 children with autism and 16 typically developing children. If there is a central integration mechanism, performance on the two tasks should be positively associated. No relationship was found, however, between the two abilities in the comparison group and, unexpectedly, a strong significant inverse correlation was found in the autism group. Classification data further confirmed this finding and indicated the possibility of the presence of subgroups in autism. The results add to emerging evidence suggesting that central coherence is not a unitary construct.

Mental health in autistic adults: Key stages in the journey from experiencing psychological distress to recovery / Beatriz LOPEZ in Research in Autism, 124 (June 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 124 (June 2025) . - 202584 Titre : Mental health in autistic adults: Key stages in the journey from experiencing psychological distress to recovery Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Beatriz LOPEZ, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202584 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Quality of life  Qualitative research  Depression  Anxiety  Health services  Adults Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autistic people are more likely to experience mental health difficulties than non-autistic people, yet they are less likely to access formal support. This study explored autistic adults' experiences of poor mental health at three key stages: at onset; at the stage of seeking and obtaining support; and after recovery. Methods Twelve autistic adults who had experienced, but were no longer experiencing, poor mental health, participated in a semi-structured interview. Their responses were analysed using thematic analysis clustered around the three stages of this journey. Results In terms of participants' first experience of poor mental health, findings confirm previous research highlighting social isolation as the main trigger for poor mental health, and also as a consequence. Participants also reported having difficulty recognising the symptoms and using self-help strategies. When seeking support participants reported not knowing how to seek support, seeking support from family, having difficulty communicating their need for support or not knowing what support to ask for, and having to ask for support more than once. After recovery, participants felt more confident and experienced improved psychological awareness. However, some participants still felt uncertain of what support they would seek if they experienced poor mental health again. Conclusions This study identifies the need to develop tailored interventions at key stages in the journey to poor mental health. We propose a multifaceted approach that focuses on the prevention of social isolation, the promotion of mental health literacy for autistic adults and their families, and improving recognition of symptoms and nonverbal communication of poor mental health in families and professionals.
