Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 23-6 (August 2019) . - p.1542-1553 Titre : Development, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of an employment-related social skills intervention for young adults with high-functioning autism Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Connie SUNG, Auteur ; Annemarie CONNOR, Auteur ; June CHEN, Auteur ; Chien-Chun LIN, Auteur ; Hung-Jen KUO, Auteur ; Jina CHUN, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : p.1542-1553 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Assistive Soft Skills and Employment Training  adolescents  autism spectrum disorder  employment  soft skills  work-related social skills  young adults Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This article details the iterative development, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of an 8-week work-related social skills intervention, Assistive Soft Skills and Employment Training, for young adults with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder. In this mixed-methods study, pre- and post-intervention surveys, interviews, and functional measures were used to gather information on the program's feasibility, user acceptability, practicality, and preliminary efficacy. Results indicate that Assistive Soft Skills and Employment Training graduates showed significant improvements in work-related social skills knowledge, social functioning, and social/empathy self-efficacy. Participants and group facilitators also reported high satisfaction with program activities, training modalities, frequency, and duration of the intervention. Results support expanded use of group-based, work-related, social skills interventions for young adults with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder. Moreover, these findings, though preliminary, suggest that manualized, empirically based programs like Assistive Soft Skills and Employment Training promote improved social functioning, self-confidence, engagement, and adherence to training, as well as broader impacts, including improved sense of belonging and greater employability in this traditionally underserved population.

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 52-4 (April 2022) . - p.1444-1457 Titre : The Role of Acceptance in the Transition to Adulthood: A Multi-Informant Comparison of Practitioners, Families, and Youth with Autism Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gloria K.

NIMAKO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1444-1457 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent  Adult  Autism Spectrum Disorder  Autistic Disorder  Focus Groups  Humans  Parents  Young Adult  Acceptance  Autism  Families  Service providers  Young adults Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study investigated the role of acceptance during the transition process among autistic young adults, parents, and practitioners. Six focus groups were run and thematic analysis was used to identify four themes: Youth on the autism spectrum discussed transition as a time where Self-Advocacy and Self-Acceptance were salient. Both youth and parents discussed the Lack of Understanding and Acceptance they experience. Particularly, youth highlighted the lack of understanding of sensory needs and parents underscored the lack of understanding by medical professionals. In contrast, practitioners highlighted the presence of Community Openness. Both practitioners and parents discussed Finding Personal Support through Acceptance. Self-acceptance and acceptance of autism are imperative for autistic young adults and families to achieve well-being.
