Autistic Traits and College Adjustment / Jane D. MCLEOD in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-9 (September 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 53-9 (September 2023) . - p.3475-3492 Titre : Autistic Traits and College Adjustment Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jane D. MCLEOD, Auteur ; Elizabeth M. ANDERSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3475-3492 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study evaluated the association of autistic traits (RAADS-14) with academic and social outcomes among college students using data from an online survey (N=2,736). In the academic domain, the total trait score and all subscale scores (mentalizing deficits, social anxiety, sensory reactivity) were associated with course failure and academic difficulties independent of an autism diagnosis; the total score and mentalizing deficits also predicted lower grade point average (GPA). In the social domain, the total trait score and subscale scores were associated with lower odds of having a confidant, lower friendship quality, and higher odds of social exclusion. Subgroup analyses revealed that autistic traits had more consistently negative associations with social outcomes for students without an autism diagnosis than for students with a diagnosis. Associations were also more often significant for women than men. These results support the development of programs and services for students with autistic traits regardless of diagnostic status.

The Experiences of College Students on the Autism Spectrum: A Comparison to Their Neurotypical Peers / Jane D. MCLEOD in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-6 (June 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 49-6 (June 2019) . - p.2320-2336 Titre : The Experiences of College Students on the Autism Spectrum: A Comparison to Their Neurotypical Peers Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jane D. MCLEOD, Auteur ; Emily MEANWELL, Auteur ; Amelia HAWBAKER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2320-2336 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : High-functioning autism  Postsecondary education Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study describes the academic, social, and health experiences of college students on the autism spectrum as they compare to students with other disabilities and their non-disabled, neurotypical peers. Data were from an online survey of college students at 14 public institutions (N = 3073). There were few significant differences between students on the spectrum and students with other disabilities. Both groups of students reported significantly worse outcomes than neurotypical students on academic performance, social relationships and bullying, and physical and mental health. The findings suggest that some of the challenges students on the spectrum face in college result from the stigma and social rejection associated with disability rather than from the unique characteristics of autism.

The health of college students on the autism spectrum as compared to their neurotypical peers / Jane D. MCLEOD in Autism, 25-3 (April 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 25-3 (April 2021) . - p.719-730 Titre : The health of college students on the autism spectrum as compared to their neurotypical peers Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jane D. MCLEOD, Auteur ; Amelia HAWBAKER, Auteur ; Emily MEANWELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.719-730 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders  college students  disability comorbidity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Studies have shown that children and older adults on the autism spectrum experience more physical and mental health problems than their neurotypical peers. Less is known about the physical and mental health of college students on the spectrum. Studying college students is important because young adults on the spectrum are enrolling in college at increasing rates and because health problems can be a barrier to succeeding in college. We collected data from 2820 students at 14 colleges and universities using an online survey, some of whom had registered for accommodations based on autism and others of whom had not. We used the data to compare the physical and mental health of students on the spectrum to their neurotypical peers. Because students with autism often report other disabilities that also affect health, we accounted for whether they experienced a learning disability, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, sensory impairment, mobility impairment, mental health disorder, or any other disabilities. We assessed health using self-reports of how healthy they were physically and mentally, and reports of depressive symptoms, symptoms of anxiety, sleep deprivation, and binge drinking. We found that students with autism reported poorer physical and mental health, more depressive symptoms, and more symptoms of anxiety even after taking into account other disabilities they may have experienced. They were also less likely to report sleep deprivation and binge drinking. Our results argue for developing specialized services to address the physical and mental health challenges of college students on the spectrum.
