To inform the development of evidence-based FMS interventions and provide directions for future research, this systematic review described the characteristics and evaluated the methodological quality of peer-reviewed FMS intervention studies involving children with ASD (aged 0-21 years). Method Following the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search of peer-reviewed literature was conducted across seven databases. From an initial screening of 852 records, 22 studies were included for full-text review. Data were extracted from each study relating to study characteristics, intervention characteristics, and sample characteristics. Methodological quality was evaluated by two independent reviewers using quality indicators relevant to the type of study design. Results Twenty-two articles were included. The reviewed studies used experimental, quasi-experimental, pre-experimental, single-subject, and case study designs. Of the 22 studies, 19 reported significant intervention effects for at least one FMS. Conclusions The large variation among the samples, FMS interventions, and research designs limited conclusions about the causal processes for achieving FMS improvements in children with ASD from the reviewed literature. Other limiting factors were related to the measurement of FMS (e.g. a lack of descriptions of testing protocols), a lack of validation of the participant ASD diagnosis, a reliance on pre- and quasi-experimental research designs, and a lack of theoretical underpinning of the FMS interventions. Moreover, when instructional strategies were specified, the fidelity of implementation was rarely evaluated.

"This cage that I'm stuck inside": Autistic adults' perceptions of weight management, body weight, and body image / Sean HEALY in Autism, 26-7 (October 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 26-7 (October 2022) . - p.1985-1998 Titre : "This cage that I'm stuck inside": Autistic adults' perceptions of weight management, body weight, and body image Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sean HEALY, Auteur ; Carly PACANOWSKI, Auteur ; Lauren KENNEDY, Auteur ; Iva OBRUSNIKOVA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1985-1998 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adult  Autism Spectrum Disorder  Autistic Disorder  Body Image  Body Weight  Humans  Mental Health  Overweight  autism spectrum disorder  body dissatisfaction  health promotion  obesity  weight loss Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Our beliefs and feelings about our bodies and our body weight influence our weight management behaviors, such as physical activity and eating behaviors. These beliefs and feelings are largely shaped by how we interact with, and compare ourselves to, people in our lives. Due to the social traits associated with autism, autistic adults may have different perceptions of body weight, body image, and weight management than neurotypical adults. To explore this, for the first time, we interviewed 11 autistic adults. The participants' perceptions can be summarized in four findings. First, the participants viewed overweight and obesity as just one part of their overall health. Participants described how their mental health and physical health, including overweight/obesity, were closely connected. Second, some traits related to autism made weight management difficult; for example, eating and physical activity were negatively impacted by social anxiety, sensory sensitivity, obsessiveness, and a strong desire for routine. Third, participants were generally dissatisfied with how they looked. This was primarily due to a disconnect between how they felt their body looked and how it actually looked in real life. Other people, including on social media, also negatively influenced how they perceived themselves. Fourth, and finally, participants described how they got most of their weight management-related information online. Medical professionals were frequently described as being unprepared to provide them assistance related to weight management.
