Brief report: Changes in quality of life and social functioning during vocational program - a pilot study of autistic adults / Michelle R. KANDALAFT in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 51-10 (October 2021)

Measuring these constructs as vocational training outcomes may inform future programming and relevancy of measures. METHODS: This pilot study analyzed changes in social-emotional functioning and QoL during the involvement at a vocational program for autistic adults using the WHOQOL-BREF, a modified version of the Birchwood- Social Functioning Scale (SFS-m) and a piloted measure. Participants completed these self-reported questionnaires upon admission and at 3 months. RESULTS: Significant change was found on the SFS-m and two WHOQOL-BREF domains: psychological and environmental. CONCLUSIONS: This pilot study suggests that autistic adults, similar in characterization, can self-report using these QoL and social measures; further, these measures are sensitive to certain changes over time in such group programs.

Cognitive and Social Cognitive Self-assessment in Autistic Adults / Kilee M. DEBRABANDER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 51-7 (July 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 51-7 (July 2021) . - p.2354-2368 Titre : Cognitive and Social Cognitive Self-assessment in Autistic Adults Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kilee M.

We compared self-assessment between 37 autistic adults without intellectual disability to 39 non-autistic (NA) controls on a series of three general cognitive and three social cognitive tasks. Whereas autistic adults and NA adults did not differ in their self-assessment accuracy on general cognitive tasks, they did on social cognitive tasks, with autistic adults demonstrating lower accuracy. The direction of their inaccuracy was variable (i.e., both over and underestimation), and self-assessment was largely unrelated to their level of social functioning. Over versus underestimation may have different functional implications, and warrants future investigation.

Effects of autism acceptance training on explicit and implicit biases toward autism / Desiree R. JONES in Autism, 25-5 (July 2021)

They are often judged unfairly and left out of social activities because of their differences. This can make it difficult for autistic people to make friends and find jobs. Some training programs have tried to teach autistic people to act more like non-autistic people to help them gain acceptance. Fewer have focused on teaching non-autistic people how to be more autism friendly. In this study, we used a short training video that teaches people about autism. The video was created with the help of autistic adults and included clips of real autistic people. We found that non-autistic people who watched this video had better knowledge about autism and showed more autism-friendly attitudes than those who watched a video about mental health or those who did not watch any video. They were more open to having a relationship with an autistic person and had more positive beliefs about autism. However, our video did not affect people's unconscious attitudes about autism. People in our study connected autism with unpleasant traits, even if they had watched the autism training video. This suggests that teaching non-autistic people about autism may promote more autism-friendly attitudes, but some beliefs may be harder to change.

Outcomes of real-world social interaction for autistic adults paired with autistic compared to typically developing partners / Kerrianne E. MORRISON in Autism, 24-5 (July 2020)

The current study addresses this "blind spot" by examining whether real-world social interaction quality for autistic adults differs when interacting with typically developing relative to autistic partners. Participants (67 autism spectrum disorder, 58 typically developing) were assigned to one of three dyadic partnerships (autism-autism: n?=?22; typically developing-typically developing: n?=?23; autism-typically developing: n?=?25; 55 complete dyads, 15 partial dyads) in which they completed a 5-min unstructured conversation with an unfamiliar person and then assessed the quality of the interaction and their impressions of their partner. Although autistic adults were rated as more awkward, less attractive, and less socially warm than typically developing adults by both typically developing and autistic partners, only typically developing adults expressed greater interest in future interactions with typically developing relative to autistic partners. In contrast, autistic participants trended toward an interaction preference for other autistic adults and reported disclosing more about themselves to autistic compared to typically developing partners. These results suggest that social affiliation may increase for autistic adults when partnered with other autistic people, and support reframing social interaction difficulties in autism as a relational rather than an individual impairment.
