However, limited research has explored autistic peoples' experiences of low mood and depression. The aim of this study was to explore the lived experiences of low mood and depression for adults on the autism spectrum. The study employed Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis to investigate the experiences of 8 adults (7 males and 1 female), aged between 19 and 51, who had a diagnosis of autism without co-occurring learning disabilities, and experienced low mood or depression. All participants recorded their thoughts and feelings in a mood diary for 1 week and participated in a semi-structured interview. Three superordinate themes emerged from the data: 'Autism has made me the person I am', 'I can't function in the world' and 'It's like trying to do accounts on the futures market': Making sense of emotions. Findings highlight a need for specialist mental health provision for adults who are on the autism spectrum. Limitations of this study and implications for future research are discussed.

Maternal experience of Lego Therapy in families with children with autism spectrum conditions: What is the impact on family relationships? / Helen PECKETT in Autism, 20-7 (October 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 20-7 (October 2016) . - p.879-887 Titre : Maternal experience of Lego Therapy in families with children with autism spectrum conditions: What is the impact on family relationships? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Helen PECKETT, Auteur ; Fiona MACCALLUM, Auteur ; Jacky KNIBBS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.879-887 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum  Lego Therapy  social skills interventions Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study aimed to explore mothers’ experience of implementing Lego Therapy at home within the family. Following a Lego Therapy training session, mothers carried out hourly sessions with their child with an autism spectrum condition and the child’s sibling, once a week, for 6 weeks. Mothers were interviewed following the intervention, and the data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Themes emerged around improved family relationships, a positive impact on the child as an individual, and changed maternal, sibling and child perspectives. Challenging and facilitative aspects also emerged, as did some ambivalence about the impact of the intervention in the wider context. The findings are supportive of previous Lego Therapy studies and have implications for strengths-based service provision.
