Titre : Assessing the Dim Light Melatonin Onset in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder and No Comorbid Intellectual Disability Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Emma K. BAKER, Auteur ; Amanda L. RICHDALE, Auteur ; Agnes HAZI, Auteur ; Luke A. PRENDERGAST, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2120-2137 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Melatonin Sleep DLMO Circadian-Rhythm Actigraphy Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study assessed melatonin levels and the dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) in adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and also investigated the relationships between melatonin and objectively measured sleep parameters. Sixteen adults with ASD (ASD-Only), 12 adults with ASD medicated for comorbid diagnoses of anxiety and/or depression (ASD-Med) and 32 controls participated in the study. Although, the timing of the DLMO did not differ between the two groups, advances and delays of the melatonin rhythm were observed in individual profiles. Overall mean melatonin levels were lower in the ASD-Med group compared to the two other groups. Lastly, greater increases in melatonin in the hour prior to sleep were associated with greater sleep efficiency in the ASD groups.

Titre : Associations between coping strategies and mental health outcomes in autistic adults Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Melanie MUNIANDY, Auteur ; Amanda L. RICHDALE, Auteur ; Samuel R. C. ARNOLD, Auteur ; Julian N. TROLLOR, Auteur ; Lauren P. LAWSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.929-944 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adaptation, Psychological Adult Autism Spectrum Disorder/complications/epidemiology Autistic Disorder/complications/psychology Humans Mental Health Outcome Assessment, Health Care adults autism spectrum disorders coping strategies well-being Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Compared to the general population, mental health difficulties are commonly reported in autistic adults. However, the ways in which coping strategies are associated with mental health and well-being in this population remain unknown. Further, we do not know if, and if so, how these associations might differ to that of non-autistic adults. In this study, we hypothesized that in both our autistic (N = 255) and non-autistic (N = 165) adult samples, disengagement coping strategies (e.g., denial) would relate to poorer mental health and well-being, while engagement coping strategies (e.g., problem solving) would relate to better mental health and well-being. Regression analyses revealed that higher use of disengagement coping strategies was significantly associated with higher levels of anxiety and depression, and lower levels of well-being in both samples. In contrast, increased use of engagement coping strategies was associated with better well-being, but only in the autistic sample. Our results contribute to the characterization of negative and positive mental health outcomes in autistic adults from a coping perspective, with potential to offer novel information regarding coping strategies to consider when addressing support options for mental health difficulties in the autistic adult population. LAY SUMMARY: Mental health conditions (such as anxiety and depression) and poor well-being are commonly reported in autistic adults. Research suggests that how one copes with stress is associated with one's mental health and well-being. However, we have little information about how coping strategies relate to the mental health of autistic adults, and whether this might be different in non-autistic adults. In this study, we examined the relationship between coping strategies and mental health in a large group of autistic individuals aged 15-80?years. We then compared this with similar aged non-autistic individuals. We found that in both the autistic and non-autistic individuals, using more disengagement coping strategies (such as being in denial, blaming oneself) was related to poorer mental health and well-being. Additionally, using more engagement coping strategies (such as problem solving, acceptance) was related to better mental health and well-being, but only in the autistic individuals. These results can help inform support services, as they highlight the coping strategies that may need to be focused on (i.e., developing engagement coping strategies and reducing disengagement coping strategies) in order to better support the mental health of autistic individuals.

This mixed-methods questionnaire study examined autistic adults' experiences of disclosure in various contexts. The sample consisted of 393 participants aged 17-83Â years from two longitudinal surveys. Almost all participants disclosed their diagnosis to someone, most commonly to friends. A significant minority of participants studying and/or working at the time had not disclosed to their education provider/employer. Content analysis of open-ended responses showed participants desired to gain understanding and support from disclosure but feared prejudice. While some received support, others encountered dismissiveness and misunderstanding. Findings highlight the need to improve autism understanding and reduce stigma within and beyond educational and employment contexts.

Titre : Behaviour, cognition, and autism symptoms and their relationship with sleep problem severity in young children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Stephanie ROUSSIS, Auteur ; Amanda L. RICHDALE, Auteur ; Terry KATZ, Auteur ; Beth A. MALOW, Auteur ; Josephine BARBARO, Auteur ; Nancy SADKA, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101743 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Sleep problem Behaviour Autism Young children Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background In autism, poor sleep begins in early childhood, varies in severity and is associated with behavioural difficulties. We examined relationships between sleep and behaviour in young children with autism and no, mild/typical or severe/atypical sleep problems to determine behavioural profiles that may differentiate sleep problem severity. Method Parents of children with autism aged 2- to 5-years reported on their child’s sleep behaviour (CSHQ), including additional written descriptions of sleep behaviours. Children were then classified as good sleepers or as having mild/typical or severe/atypical sleep problems using National Sleep Foundation guidelines and current sleep literature. The three sleep groups were compared on autistic severity (ADOS), cognition (Mullen Scales of Early Leaning) and behaviour (BASC-3). Results Parents of 46 children aged 24- to 71-months participated. The severe/atypical sleep group were more likely to have multiple severe sleep difficulties. The sleep groups did not differ on autism severity or cognition. The BASC-3 withdrawal subscale differentiated severe problem sleepers from the other groups, while BASC-3 inattention differentiated problem sleepers from good sleepers. The severe/atypical sleep problem group also had more overall behaviour problems than good sleepers Conclusions Social withdrawal and multiple, severe sleep difficulties may underlie difficulties in treating poor sleep in some autistic children, suggesting that an individualised approach to treatment is needed to address severe sleep concerns. Early detection and intervention for poor sleep may reduce or prevent significant sleep and behavioural concerns continuing into later childhood. Sleep interventions that include targeting attention and withdrawal behaviours may assist in in this regard.
