It’s not really lying. Autism spectrum disorder relates to lower recognition of other-oriented lies through a decrease in perceived intentionality of the liar / Katarzyna CANTARERO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 86 (August 2021)

Some studies show that autism is related to difficulties in lying, others show no differences between individuals with ASD and typically developing persons in use of deception. It may be that individuals with ASD have difficulties in understanding what lying is. Method In Study 1 (N = 66) we matched a sample of individuals clinically diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder with typically developing individuals. Study 2 (N = 256) was conducted with participants from the general population. We asked participants to evaluate deceitfulness of protagonists’ behavior in stories presenting other-oriented and self-oriented lying. Results The results suggest that the higher the autistic traits, the less individuals perceive the liar as behaving intentionally. In the case of more complex, other-oriented lies, autistic traits indirectly relate to recognition of lies through attribution of intentionality. Conclusion These findings show how autistic traits relate to understanding of lying and suggest that it might be interesting to test training among individuals with ASD aimed at learning how to recognize deception.

Looking through rainbow-rimmed glasses: Taking neurodiversity perspective is related to subjective well-being of autistic adults / Kinga FERENC in Autism, 27-5 (July 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 27-5 (July 2023) . - p.1348-1361 Titre : Looking through rainbow-rimmed glasses: Taking neurodiversity perspective is related to subjective well-being of autistic adults Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kinga FERENC, Auteur ; Mateusz P?ATOS, Auteur ; Katarzyna BYRKA, Auteur ; Magdalena Ewa KROL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1348-1361 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : attitude towards autism;autism spectrum conditions;in-group identification;psychological distress;self-esteem;subjective well-being Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Finding new ways of supporting the well-being of autistic adults is an essential goal for research and practice. We tested the predictive value of attitudes towards autism (as neurodiversity or as a disorder) and identification with other autistic people, on the psychological distress and self-esteem of autistic adults (n?=?109). Adopting a neurodiversity attitude not only predicted higher self-esteem but also served as a protective factor against the negative impact of identification with other autistic people on psychological distress. These findings show that clinicians should be sensitive to the way autistic people understand autism and the extent to which they identify with the autism community, as these factors relate to their well-being. Lay abstract Autistic adults experience a high level of distress. Finding new ways to support their well-being is an important goal for researchers and clinicians. We assessed the way autistic adults view their autism, as a disorder or as a type of mind (neurodiversity), and the level they integrate with other autistic people, and we checked how those factors contribute to their well-being. People who see autism rather as a type of mind than as a disorder had higher self-esteem. People who view themselves as more similar to other autistic people felt more stressed, but this result was not accurate for people who view autism as a type of mind. Clinicians should be sensitive to the way autistic people understand autism and to what extent they identify with the autism community, because it may relate to their well-being.

Painted with different brushes—An exploratory study of psychological well-being and attitudes towards autism perceived by adolescents with autism spectrum conditions and their mothers / Kinga FERENC in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 87 (September 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 87 (September 2021) . - 101826 Titre : Painted with different brushes—An exploratory study of psychological well-being and attitudes towards autism perceived by adolescents with autism spectrum conditions and their mothers Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kinga FERENC, Auteur ; Katarzyna BYRKA, Auteur ; Magdalena Ewa KROL, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101826 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum conditions  Depression  Psychological well-being  Attitude towards autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Given the high prevalence of mental health comorbidities in autism spectrum conditions, the psychological well-being is one of the most pertinent issues in autism research, but it is encumbered with difficulties regarding its assessment in the ASC population and understanding the causes behind the increased risk of problems. This study aimed to explore the subjective assessment of psychological well-being in adolescents with ASC – whether it differs from the reports of their caregivers and which factors may be important in shaping it. Specifically, we hypothesized that different ways of perceiving autism – as a disorder or as a neurodivergence – may contribute to the way autistic adolescents feel about their own well-being. Method We tested 27 dyads of adolescents with ASC and normal intellectual ability; and their mothers. We assessed the child’s depressive symptoms and attitudes towards autism; we controlled the child’s IQ and autism severity (by ADOS-2). Results We found large discrepancies between adolescent’s and mother’s reports of adolescent’s depressive symptoms and their predictors. Higher maternal distress and lower autism severity predicted an increased level of depressive symptoms in the child, only in the mother’s report. Attitude towards autism was not a significant factor in predicting the child’s depressive symptoms, but it leaned toward significance in the child’s self-assessment. Conclusions Given the differences between adolescents and maternal perspectives, the subjective experiences of adolescents with ASC should be taken into account to a greater extent. It is worth exploring whether adolescents with ASC might benefit from perceiving autism as a neurodivergence.

The spectrum of attitudes towards the spectrum of autism and its relationship to psychological distress in mothers of children with autism / Kinga FERENC in Autism, 27-1 (January 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 27-1 (January 2023) . - p.54-64 Titre : The spectrum of attitudes towards the spectrum of autism and its relationship to psychological distress in mothers of children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kinga FERENC, Auteur ; Katarzyna BYRKA, Auteur ; Magdalena Ewa KROL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.54-64 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : attitude towards autism  autism spectrum conditions  mothers of children with autism  psychological distress  resilience Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Attitude of mothers towards their children’s autism may play a role in mothers’ psychological well-being. We investigated the predictive value of how mothers understand autism (as a neurodivergence or a developmental disorder) on their psychological distress. A group of 371 mothers of children on the autism spectrum participated in this study. We found that understanding autism as a neurodivergence was related to lower psychological distress in mothers, even after controlling for the level of autism symptoms. However, when controlling for caregiver burden, their attitude towards autism was no longer significant in explaining their psychological distress. These findings suggest that the way mothers understand autism may be important for their psychological adjustment. However, it also suggests that mothers of children on the autism spectrum may adopt different attitudes towards autism, depending on their child’s level of autism symptoms and the caregiver burden. Lay abstract Mothers of children on the autism spectrum experience high levels of emotional distress. Mothers cope with stress by having their own thoughts and opinions about their children. In this study, we tested whether the way mothers perceive autism may contribute to the level of distress they feel. Some mothers see autism as a developmental disorder that needs to be cured, but some see autism as a type of mind that needs to be accepted. Our findings showed that mothers who see autism more as a type of mind are generally less stressed. But we also showed that it matters how severe are the child’s symptoms, and how heavy was the perceived burden of caring for the child. These results imply that it is worth working on attitudes towards autism to help mothers cope better. But at the same time, we argue that mothers should not be judged for their perceptions of autism, as there is a huge spectrum of a child’s characteristics and family’s life circumstances.
