Barriers to socialising appear to be less well understood and supported by universities than academic requirements. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten autistic university students to explore their social experiences. Questions explored their social experiences, satisfaction with social life, disclosure of ASD to others, and the impact of mental wellbeing on university life. Thematic analysis indicated most participants were unsatisfied with their social lives and experienced mental health issues. Factors exacerbating social isolation included lack of suitable social events, lack of social support and feeling unable to disclose to peers. Factors which reduced social isolation included joining an autism or special interest society and receiving social mentoring.

The effect of school exposure and personal contact on attitudes towards bullying and autism in schools: A cohort study with a control group / Anna COOK in Autism, 24-8 (November 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 24-8 (November 2020) . - p.2178-2189 Titre : The effect of school exposure and personal contact on attitudes towards bullying and autism in schools: A cohort study with a control group Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anna COOK, Auteur ; Jane OGDEN, Auteur ; Naomi WINSTONE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2178-2189 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : *adolescents  *bullying  *inclusion  *neurodiversity  *peer attitudes  *school climate  *school-age children  *social exclusion  *social identity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic children are more likely than non-autistic children to be bullied at school. This study therefore explored whether the kind of school setting and the level of personal contact with autistic people can affect children's attitudes towards bullying and autism. Surveys were completed at the beginning and end of the school year by 775 children aged 11-12?years, from six schools: three with specialist centres for autistic children and three without. Participants read stories describing bullying situations, then provided their views in relation to the story and in relation to autism. Children in schools with centres increased their feelings of anger, pity, sadness and shame in response to the bullying situations. In contrast, children in schools with no centre showed less sociable responses to bullying, except in response to a story describing an autistic child, being excluded by classmates. Furthermore, children who increased the time they spent with autistic individuals over the course of the year showed a greater rise in positive attitudes towards autistic people. This highlights the need for both personal contact and an inclusive school environment, to improve attitudes towards autism and reduce tolerance for bullying.
