Challenging Behavior and Parental Depression: The Effects of Everyday Stressors and Benefit Finding for Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Sarah Rose VITALE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-9 (September 2023)

However, positive coping strategies have also been identified as protective factors for parents of children with ASD. The present study examined parental perceived daily stressors and positive coping strategies (i.e., benefit finding) as mediators to depression for parents of children with ASD. A latent profile analysis identified three classes of behavior severity for children with ASD. Across all classes, higher levels of perceived daily stressors predicted increased parental depression, while benefit finding predicted lower parental depression. Results support interventions that increase positive coping strategies to decrease levels of depression in parents of children with ASD.

Intellectual, Adaptive, and Behavioral Functioning Associated with Designated Levels of Support in a Sample of Autistic Children Referred for Tertiary Assessment / Lauren GARDNER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 54-11 (November)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 54-11 (November) . - p.4145-4151 Titre : Intellectual, Adaptive, and Behavioral Functioning Associated with Designated Levels of Support in a Sample of Autistic Children Referred for Tertiary Assessment Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lauren GARDNER, Auteur ; Callie GILCHREST, Auteur ; Jonathan M. CAMPBELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4145-4151 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorder in the DSM-5-TR features the option to designate levels of support for social communication (SC) and restricted, repetitive behaviors (RRB). These levels are conceptual in nature, but research indicates standardized assessment outcomes correspond with clinician-assigned levels of support. The purpose of the present study was to identify factors that influence designated levels of support for SC and RRBs when diagnosing autism. Standardized assessment scores across intellectual functioning, adaptive skills, and ASD symptomology were analyzed to determine corresponding levels of support in SC and RRBs assigned by clinicians for 136 autistic children following a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation. At diagnosis, approximately 46% of participants were described as needing substantial support (Level 2) for SC and 49% were described as needing substantial support (Level 2) for RRB. There was a consistent pattern of higher to lower intellectual and adaptive functioning needing Level 1-Level 3 support. Autism assessment results followed a gradient of fewer to greater autism symptoms from Level 1 to Level 3 support. Findings indicated clinician-assigned levels of support for SC and RRB were associated with intellectual functioning, adaptive functioning, autism symptomology, and age, but not sex.

Law Enforcement Officers' Preparation for Calls Involving Autism: Prior Experiences and Response to Training / Lauren GARDNER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-12 (December 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-12 (December 2020) . - p.4221-4229 Titre : Law Enforcement Officers' Preparation for Calls Involving Autism: Prior Experiences and Response to Training Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lauren GARDNER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4221-4229 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Knowledge  Law enforcement  Training Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Highly publicized interactions between law enforcement officers (LEOs) and individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have raised questions about LEOs' training related to ASD. In the present study, 157 LEOs participated in ASD-specific training and completed pretest and posttest surveys of autism knowledge, confidence, and self-monitoring. The majority of LEOs responded to calls involving someone with ASD in the last year, with 20% of these calls resulting in involuntary psychiatric hospitalization. LEO knowledge of ASD, self-confidence in responding to calls, and self-monitoring of performance increased from pretest to posttest. Compared to male counterparts, female officers were less likely to use force and handcuffs when responding to ASD-related calls. Female officers' self-confidence increased significantly more than male officers.
