Comparing the writing skills of autistic and nonautistic university students: A collaboration with autistic university students / Kristen GILLESPIE-LYNCH in Autism, 24-7 (October 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 24-7 (October 2020) . - p.1898-1912 Titre : Comparing the writing skills of autistic and nonautistic university students: A collaboration with autistic university students Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kristen GILLESPIE-LYNCH, Auteur ; Emily HOTEZ, Auteur ; Matthew ZAJIC, Auteur ; Ariana RICCIO, Auteur ; Danielle DENIGRIS, Auteur ; Bella KOFNER, Auteur ; Dennis BUBLITZ, Auteur ; Naomi GAGGI, Auteur ; Kavi LUCA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1898-1912 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : *autism  *autistic  *college  *intelligence  *neurodiversity  *participatory  *university  *writing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We do not know very much about the writing skills of autistic university students. Studies with autistic children and teenagers show that some autistic young people have difficulties writing. Other autistic people are talented writers. In fact, some autistic people would rather write than speak. Good writers often imagine other people's points of view when writing. Autistic people sometimes have difficulties understanding others' points of view. Yet, autistic people often work much harder to understand others' points of view than not-autistic people do. We collaborated with autistic university student researchers to see if autistic university students are better or worse at writing than nonautistic students. Autistic university students in our study were better writers than nonautistic students. Autistic students in our study had higher nonverbal intelligence than nonautistic students. Autistic students also put themselves under more pressure to write perfectly than nonautistic students did. Autistic students did not show any difficulties understanding other minds. This study shows that some autistic university students have stronger writing skills and higher intelligence than nonautistic university students. Yet, autistic students may be too hard on themselves about their writing. Fun activities that help students explore their ideas without pressure (like theater games) may help autistic students be less hard on their writing. Teachers can help autistic students express themselves through writing by encouraging them to write about their interests, by giving them enough time to write, and by letting them write using computers if they want to. This study shows that collaborations with autistic people can help us understand strengths that can help autistic people succeed.

Does learning you are autistic at a younger age lead to better adult outcomes? A participatory exploration of the perspectives of autistic university students / Tomisin OREDIPE in Autism, 27-1 (January 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 27-1 (January 2023) . - p.200-212 Titre : Does learning you are autistic at a younger age lead to better adult outcomes? A participatory exploration of the perspectives of autistic university students Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Tomisin OREDIPE, Auteur ; Bella KOFNER, Auteur ; Ariana RICCIO, Auteur ; Eilidh CAGE, Auteur ; Jonathan VINCENT, Auteur ; Steven K. KAPP, Auteur ; Patrick DWYER, Auteur ; Kristen GILLESPIE-LYNCH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.200-212 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autistic adults  disclosure  neurodiversity  participatory  quality of life  university  well-being Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Many autistic people do not learn they are autistic until adulthood. Parents may wait to tell a child they are autistic until they feel the child is œready. � In this study, a participatory team of autistic and non-autistic researchers examined whether learning one is autistic at a younger age is associated with heightened well-being and Autism-Specific Quality of Life among autistic university students. Autistic students (n=78) completed an online survey. They shared when and how they learned they were autistic, how they felt about autism when first learning they are autistic and now, and when they would tell autistic children about their autism. Learning one is autistic earlier was associated with heightened quality of life and well-being in adulthood. However, learning one is autistic at an older age was associated with more positive emotions about autism when first learning one is autistic. Participants expressed both positive and negative emotions about autism and highlighted contextual factors to consider when telling a child about autism. Findings suggest that telling a child that they are autistic at a younger age empowers them by providing access to support and a foundation for self-understanding that helps them thrive in adulthood. Lay abstract People learn they are autistic at different ages. We wanted to know if telling kids they are autistic earlier helps them feel better about their lives when they grow up. We are a team of autistic and non-autistic students and professors. Seventy-eight autistic university students did our online survey. They shared how they found out they were autistic and how they felt about being autistic. They also shared how they feel about their lives now. Around the same number of students learned they were autistic from doctors and parents. Students who learned they were autistic when they were younger felt happier about their lives than people who learned they were autistic when they were older. Students who learned they were autistic when they were older felt happier about being autistic when they first found out than people who did not have to wait as long. Our study shows that it is probably best to tell people they are autistic as soon as possible. The students who did our study did not think it was a good idea to wait until children are adults to tell them they are autistic. They said that parents should tell their children they are autistic in ways that help them understand and feel good about who they are.

Experiences of Students, Teachers, and Parents Participating in an Inclusive, School-Based Informal Engineering Education Program / Yu-Lun CHEN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-8 (August 2022)

Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Many youth on the autism spectrum possess interests and strengths for STEM-related postsecondary pathways, yet there are few research-based programs to support those interests and competencies including complex problem solving and social communication. This qualitative study explored the experiences and perceived outcomes of students, teachers, and parents participating in an inclusive, strength-based, extracurricular engineering design program entitled the IDEAS Maker Club. Twenty-six students, 13 parents, and nine teachers in the program completed interviews and program logs while researchers conducted classroom observations over 2 years. Thematic analysis identified five common themes: (1) positive student experience and engagement, (2) skills acquisition, (3) development of interest in STEM and related careers, (4) social relationships and community, and (5) safe spaces that supported self-determination.

How is autistic identity in adolescence influenced by parental disclosure decisions and perceptions of autism? / Ariana RICCIO in Autism, 25-2 (February 2021)

How parents talk with their kids about autism may shape how kids see autism. A team of autistic and non-autistic people (including a mother of an autistic person) did a study. We wanted to know if how parents talk with their kids about autism shapes how their kids see autism. Nineteen teens from a summer camp did interviews and surveys. Their mothers did surveys. Teens learned about if they had autism in different ways. Some teens still didn't know they were autistic. Teens whose moms chose to tell them about their autism talked about autism and themselves more positively than teens whose moms didn't choose to talk with them about autism. Only teens whose moms chose to talk with them about autism described themselves as having social strengths. Teens had a harder time defining autism than moms. However, teens and moms talked about autism in similar ways. Our study shows that parents can help their kids see autism and themselves more positively by talking with their kids about autism early in development.
