O. WHITEHOUSE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4121-4132 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Parent characteristics  Sleep  Socioeconomic status Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Little is known about the role of family characteristics in sleep disturbance for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study involved an exploratory analysis of the association between 17 child, parent, and socioeconomic characteristics and sleep disturbance using data from 203, 2-18-year-old children with ASD whose families participated in the Western Australian Autism Biological Registry. Results suggest that greater ASD symptom severity; child seizures; maternal autism traits, anxiety, and depression; lower paternal education; and lower family income were related to increased sleep disturbance. All these characteristics, aside from maternal depression, were significant predictors within a regression model, which accounted for 33% of the total variance. Thus, child characteristics alone may not adequately explain sleep disturbance in children with ASD.

Community perspectives on the appropriateness and importance of support goals for young autistic children / Hannah MINNELL ; Lee PATRICK ; Larah VAN DER MEER ; Ruth MONK ; Lisa WOODS ; Andrew JO WHITEHOUSE in Autism, 28-2 (February 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 28-2 (February 2024) . - p.316?326 Titre : Community perspectives on the appropriateness and importance of support goals for young autistic children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Hannah MINNELL, Auteur ; Lee PATRICK, Auteur ; Larah VAN DER MEER, Auteur ; Ruth MONK, Auteur ; Lisa WOODS, Auteur ; Andrew JO WHITEHOUSE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.316?326 Mots-clés : autism  early support  goals  neurodiversity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is little research regarding autistic adult, parent and professional perspectives on support goals for young autistic children. A total of 87 autistic adults, 159 parents of autistic children, and 80 clinical professionals living in New Zealand and Australia completed a survey about the appropriateness and importance of common support goals for young autistic children. Goals related to the adult supporting the child, the reduction and replacement of harmful behaviours, and improving child quality of life were the highest priority across participant groups, while goals related to child autism characteristics, play and academic skills were the lowest priority. Compared to parents and/or professionals, autistic adults gave lower priority ratings for play skills, autism characteristics and participation goals and were more likely to rate these goal domains as inappropriate. More research is needed to understand the underlying reasons for these similarities and differences. Lay abstract Researchers do not know much about what autistic adults, parents and professionals think about support goals for young autistic children. People?s views of support goals might also be influenced by their beliefs about early support more generally. This survey involved 87 autistic adults, 159 parents of autistic children and 80 clinical professionals living in New Zealand and Australia. We asked participants questions about themselves and what they thought about early support for young autistic children in general. We then asked participants to rate whether different support goals were appropriate for young autistic children and, if they were appropriate, to rate their level of priority. We found that autistic adults, parents and professionals all rated goals about the adult changing to better support the child, reducing and replacing harmful behaviours and improving the child?s quality of life as the highest priorities. They all rated goals about autism characteristics, play skills and academic skills as the lowest priorities. Compared to parents and/or professionals, autistic adults gave lower priority ratings for play skills, autism characteristics and participation goals. Autistic adults were also more likely to rate goals related to play skills and autism characteristics as inappropriate. While these three participant groups generally agreed on the order of priority of early support goals for young autistic children, autistic adults found goals related to autism characteristics, play and/or participation to be an even lower priority and less appropriate than parents and professionals.

Parent reported barriers and facilitators to support services for autistic children in Aotearoa New Zealand / Carla WALLACE-WATKIN in Autism, 27-8 (November 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 27-8 (November 2023) . - p.2542-2554 Titre : Parent reported barriers and facilitators to support services for autistic children in Aotearoa New Zealand Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Carla WALLACE-WATKIN, Auteur ; Jeff SIGAFOOS, Auteur ; Lisa WOODS, Auteur ; Hannah WADDINGTON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2542-2554 Mots-clés : barriers  facilitators  parent perspectives  support services  New Zealand Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We surveyed New Zealand parents of autistic children to identify their perceived barriers and facilitators to accessing support services, including the influence of a family?s level of financial resourcing. A total of 173 completed surveys were analysed. Service pathway factors were the greatest barrier experienced by participants, whereas facilitators related to providers tended to be most helpful. Lower family income was associated with a higher number of reported barriers. Both lower family income and having a child who identified their gender as non-binary were predictive of rating the extent of barriers higher. Parents of younger or of non-speaking autistic children on average reported a greater number of facilitators. Implications of these results for support service delivery and potential areas for future research are discussed.Lay abstractParents might have problems in getting support services for their autistic child due to certain barriers. However, there might also be things that can ease or facilitate parents' access to support services. In this study, New Zealand parents were asked about their experiences in getting support services for their autistic child. We also looked at differences in reported barriers and facilitators based on several demographic factors with a focus on family level of financial resourcing. A total of 173 parents completed a survey. The results suggested that parents experienced several barriers, particularly related to service pathways. Facilitators were also experienced, predominantly related to providers. Financial resourcing predicted the number of parent-reported barriers. Both lower level of family financial resourcing and having a non-binary child predicted parents' rating of the extent of barriers. Child age and level of speech were predictors for reports of experiencing a higher number of facilitators, with parents of younger children or of non-speaking autistic children reporting a greater number of facilitators. We discuss how these results may be useful to support service delivery and identify areas for future research.
