Sleep problems are among the most prevalent comorbid difficulties with ASD. The current study aimed to use multiple methods to describe these difficulties. Method Sleep of sixteen children with ASD and a parentally-reported sleep problem was compared to the sleep of a matched group of children without ASD. Seven nights of actigraphy data were collected for both groups, alongside sleep diaries and questionnaires. Results No group differences were identified through actigraphy or diary measures. Questionnaire data confirmed that the children with ASD had a higher prevalence of sleep problems. Significant differences were noted in problems with parasomnias (a frequent problem for 79% of the children with ASD), sleep onset (43%) and day-time sleepiness (64%). Conclusions Multi-method assessment is vital in understanding sleep problems in children with ASD. Broad estimates of quantity of sleep do not necessarily describe the difficulties experienced. Using questionnaires in addition to objective measurement may be a means to understand sleep problems in children with ASD and to an improved understanding of their impact.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of mental health outcomes associated with camouflaging in autistic people / Valeria KHUDIAKOVA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 118 (October 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 118 (October 2024) . - 102492 Titre : A systematic review and meta-analysis of mental health outcomes associated with camouflaging in autistic people Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Valeria KHUDIAKOVA, Auteur ; Emmeline RUSSELL, Auteur ; Sophie SOWDEN-CARVALHO, Auteur ; Andrew D. R. SURTEES, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102492 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Camouflaging  Mental health  Anxiety  Depression  Wellbeing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the strength and quality of the evidence for the relationship between camouflaging and its potential outcomes in autistic people. With the worryingly high proportions of autistic people experiencing mental illness and suicidality, it is important to understand whether camouflaging is a risk factor in that population. Methods Searches of five databases (Web of Science, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses) yielded 16 studies eligible for a meta-analysis using correlations and six additional studies eligible for a narrative review, with 5897 autistic participants in total. Risk of bias was assessed for all studies using a bespoke tool. Based on the 16 studies eligible for the meta-analysis, we computed meta-correlations between camouflaging and anxiety, depression, social anxiety, and psychological wellbeing, using a random-effects model. Meta-regressions examined if study effect sizes were moderated by study quality, participants' mean age, and proportions of female and clinically diagnosed participants. Results We found significant moderate positive relationships between camouflaging and anxiety/generalised anxiety, depression, and social anxiety and a significant small negative relationship between camouflaging and mental wellbeing. There was no significant moderating effect of the aforementioned variables on study effect sizes. Discussion All of the studies were underpowered to detect small effects, and many used insufficiently validated measures. The established link between camouflaging and mental health difficulties is discussed with reference to future research and clinical practice. Longitudinal studies should also aim to establish causality. Other There was no funding associated with this review. The researchers have no conflicts of interest to disclose. The review was preregistered on PROSPERO (registration number: CRD42023473077).

The relationships between restrictive/repetitive behaviours, intolerance of uncertainty, and anxiety in autism: A systematic review and meta-analysis / Lucy Anne Elizabeth MOID ; Christopher A. JONES ; Andrew D. R. SURTEES in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 117 (September 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 117 (September 2024) . - p.102428 Titre : The relationships between restrictive/repetitive behaviours, intolerance of uncertainty, and anxiety in autism: A systematic review and meta-analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lucy Anne Elizabeth MOID, Auteur ; Christopher A.

SURTEES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102428 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  ASD  Anxiety  Uncertainty  Repetitive Behaviour  Meta-analysis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic people are more likely to experience anxiety than their non-autistic peers. Understanding mechanisms underpinning anxiety in autism is a vital aspect of developing effective interventions. Intolerance of uncertainty (IU) and restrictive/repetitive behaviours (RRBs) are proposed to contribute to anxiety for autistic people. This paper includes the first meta-analysis to investigate the associations between all three of these variables. A systematic search identified 33 papers that measured anxiety, IU and RRBs in 8347 autistic participants. Evidence was found for positive correlations between all three variables. Analysis of average participant age demonstrated that the relationship between anxiety and IU was stronger in younger participants. No significant differences were found between the associations in studies that included participants with intellectual disabilities and those that did not. A quality assessment framework identified methodological threats to validity. Most studies had good methods of recruitment; however, many anxiety and IU measurement tools were unvalidated in autistic populations. Results suggest that IU and RRBs should be considered when designing anxiety interventions for autistic people, however, the role of RRBs in particular needs to be investigated further to prevent interventions from taking away important coping strategies due to misunderstanding of causal relationships.
