Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 53-7 (July 2023) . - p.2636-2646 Titre : An evaluation of the diagnostic validity of the structured questionnaires of the adult Asperger?s Assessment Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anna JONES, Auteur ; Katie ROGERS, Auteur ; Keith SULLIVAN, Auteur ; Nina VILJOEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2636-2646 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Adult Autism Quotient (AQ), the Empathy Quotient (EQ) and the Relative?s Questionnaire (RQ) were used as part of the Adult Asperger?s Assessment (AAA) by a diagnostic service for adults without an intellectual disability with suspected autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This service is part of the National Health Service (NHS) in England. Little is known about the utility of these structured questionnaires despite wide use in clinical practice. It was investigated whether the questionnaires could discriminate between individuals with and without a diagnosis of ASD. Receiver Operating Curve analysis showed good levels of sensitivity to detect a positive diagnosis, but the specificity to exclude those without a diagnosis was poor. A binary logistic regression showed that a combination of the questionnaires also showed limited diagnostic validity. These findings have clinical implications in reviewing the efficiency of the assessment process.

The impact of socio-cultural values on autistic women: An interpretative phenomenological analysis / Stella MO in Autism, 26-4 (May 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 26-4 (May 2022) . - p.951-962 Titre : The impact of socio-cultural values on autistic women: An interpretative phenomenological analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Stella MO, Auteur ; Nina VILJOEN, Auteur ; Shivani SHARMA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.951-962 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder  Autistic Disorder  Cognition  Female  Humans  Intellectual Disability  Male  autism  culture  identity  interpretative phenomenological analysis  women  conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship and/or publication  of this article. Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic women with average or above intellectual abilities are often overlooked clinically or identified at older ages compared to autistic males. Their experiences can provide insight into the socio-cultural factors that impact on how they develop and are seen by others. This study asked autistic women to describe the culture around them and explore how this has influenced their lived experiences. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight autistic women without a co-occurring diagnosis of intellectual disabilities. These were used for interpretative phenomenological analysis. Overall, we found three closely connected themes on the pervasive influence of cultural values on autistic women, how autistic women define themselves and the importance of connecting with society. These findings suggest that dominant cultural beliefs, values and norms effect how autistic women are recognised by others and develop their sense of self. Broadening how people think about autistic women in society and clinically may benefit how we identify and support autistic women.
