Is disclosing an autism spectrum disorder in school associated with reduced stigmatization? / Rhianna WHITE in Autism, 24-3 (April 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 24-3 (April 2020) . - p.744-754 Titre : Is disclosing an autism spectrum disorder in school associated with reduced stigmatization? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rhianna WHITE, Auteur ; Manuela BARRETO, Auteur ; Jean HARRINGTON, Auteur ; Steven K. KAPP, Auteur ; Jennie HAYES, Auteur ; Ginny RUSSELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.744-754 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescents  autism spectrum disorder  disclosure  school-age children  stigma Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Evidence suggests disclosing an autism diagnosis is associated with reduced stigmatization for autistic adults. However, it is unknown whether this is true for autistic adolescents. We used a vignette-and-questionnaire design to study stigmatizing attitudes with adolescents (aged 11-12 and 14-16 years, total N = 250) in a UK school. We investigated the effect of disclosing that a fictional adolescent had an autism diagnosis on stigmatizing attitudes of peers by testing the effect of disclosure of diagnosis on the social and emotional distance pupils wanted to maintain from the autistic adolescent. We also tested the effect of disclosure on peers' assessment of the adolescent's responsibility for their own behaviour. We checked to see if the effects were moderated by gender and age-group. Disclosing autism did not affect the social and emotional distance peers wanted to maintain from the autistic adolescent, but was associated with significant reduction in personal responsibility attributed to the adolescent's behaviour. Boys attributed more personal responsibility to the autistic adolescent than girls, but this gender effect was reduced when autism was disclosed. These findings suggest that disclosing autism to other pupils may be of limited use in reducing stigmatization by peers in UK schools.

Time trends in autism diagnosis over 20 years: a UK population-based cohort study / Ginny RUSSELL in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 63-6 (June 2022)

This study tested whether the proportion of people receiving a new autism diagnosis has been increasing over a twenty-year period, both overall and by subgroups. METHOD: Population-based study utilizing the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) primary care database, which contains patients registered with practices contributing data to the CPRD between 1998 and 2018 (N=6,786,212 in 1998 to N=9,594,598 in 2018). 65,665 patients had a diagnosis of autism recorded in 2018. Time trend of new (incident) cases of autism diagnosis was plotted for all, and stratified by gender, diagnostic subtypes, and developmental stage: infancy and preschool, 0-5?years old; childhood, 6-11?years old; adolescence, 12-19?years old; adults, over 19?years old. RESULTS: There was a 787%, exponential increase in recorded incidence of autism diagnoses between 1998 and 2018; R(2) =0.98, exponentiated coefficient=1.07, 95% CI [1.06, 1.08], p?

Understanding the Contributions of Trait Autism and Anxiety to Extreme Demand Avoidance in the Adult General Population / Rhianna WHITE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-7 (July 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 53-7 (July 2023) . - p.2680-2688 Titre : Understanding the Contributions of Trait Autism and Anxiety to Extreme Demand Avoidance in the Adult General Population Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rhianna WHITE, Auteur ; Lucy A. LIVINGSTON, Auteur ; Emily C. TAYLOR, Auteur ; Scarlett A. D. CLOSE, Auteur ; Punit SHAH, Auteur ; Mitchell J. CALLAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2680-2688 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism and anxiety are thought to be related to extreme demand avoidance (EDA), which is characterised by intense avoidance of everyday demands. However, the relative importance of autism and anxiety to EDA has yet to be investigated, and little is known about EDA in adulthood. We conducted two online survey studies (Ns = 267 and 549) with adults in the general population to establish the relative importance of autistic traits and anxiety as predictors of demand avoidance, using dominance analysis. Both autistic traits and anxiety were unique and equally important predictors of demand avoidance. These findings suggest EDA is linked to autism and are consistent with the theory that demand avoidance behaviours are potentially anxiety-driven in adults.
