Associations between social camouflaging and internalizing symptoms in autistic and non-autistic adolescents / Courtney J. BERNARDIN in Autism, 26-6 (August 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 26-6 (August 2022) . - p.1580-1591 Titre : Associations between social camouflaging and internalizing symptoms in autistic and non-autistic adolescents Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Courtney J.

KANNE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1580-1591 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent  Adult  Anxiety/epidemiology  Autism Spectrum Disorder  Autistic Disorder  Female  Humans  Mental Health  Social Skills  adolescents  anxiety  autism spectrum disorders  camouflaging  depression Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic individuals have more mental health difficulties than non-autistic individuals. It is important to understand why this might be. Research has shown that camouflaging, or strategies used to hide autistic traits, might contribute to mental health difficulties in autistic adults. We examined whether this was also the case for autistic adolescents. This study included 140 adolescents ages 13-18years (62 non-autistic, 58 female). All participants answered questions about camouflaging, autistic traits, and mental health difficulties. We found that autistic and non-autistic adolescents who reported higher levels of camouflaging also reported higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. We also found that camouflaging might be particularly stressful for females. These findings improve our understanding of camouflaging during adolescence and point to potential ways to support autistic adolescents, such as help with social skills, self-acceptance, and self-esteem. The findings also support the importance of increasing autism acceptance in the general population.

More similar than different: Characterizing special interests in autistic boys and girls based on caregiver report / Cynthia E. BROWN in Autism Research, 17-11 (November 2024)

NOWELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2333-2345 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : gender differences  gender/female autism  restrictive/repetitive behaviors Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Almost all autistic youths have special interests (SIs), which are focused, intense areas of passion and interest in a particular topic. Emerging research suggests that there are gender differences in SIs among autistic youth; however, commonly used measures that assess for the presence of SIs may not fully capture the granular nature of those differences between autistic boys and girls. Characterizing these differences is important for autism identification in girls, as SIs in autistic girls may often be overlooked by caregivers, teachers, and clinicians due to their more ?typical? and more socially oriented content areas compared to autistic boys. This study therefore aimed to more fully characterize gender differences in SIs using a newly developed caregiver-report measure of SIs (the Special Interests Survey; SIS). Caregivers of 1921 autistic youth completed the SIS. Analyses revealed many similarities between boys and girls; there were no gender differences in mean age SI onset, caregivers' perceptions of uniqueness or interferences of endorsed SIs, or duration of previous SIs. There were gender differences in endorsement of less than half (39%) of the SI categories measured, and there were minor differences in the number of endorsed current and past SIs. Categories with significant gender differences fell along typical gender lines (e.g., more boys interested in math and construction, more girls interested in animals and arts/crafts). This study extends the growing literature on SIs and gender differences in autism and has important implications for supporting autistic youth and their families.

The network structure of the Special Interests Survey / Marshall T. BEAUCHAMP ; Kerri P. NOWELL ; Courtney J. BERNARDIN ; Stephen M. KANNE in Autism Research, 16-2 (February 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 16-2 (February 2023) . - p.379-393 Titre : The network structure of the Special Interests Survey Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Marshall T. BEAUCHAMP, Auteur ; Kerri P. NOWELL, Auteur ; Courtney J. BERNARDIN, Auteur ; Stephen M. KANNE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.379-393 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Despite the prevalence of special interests (SIs) in autistic youth, research on SIs and how they are characterized is limited. Indeed, a significant challenge in identifying and classifying SIs lies in capturing the vast and diverse scope of potential interests in this population. The recently developed Special Interest Survey (SIS) is a caregiver-report measure to improve SI characterization by capturing a broad range of past and current SIs. In the present study, we performed a network analysis of the SIS to examine relations between SIs and identify distinct interest clusters. We analyzed data from 1992 caregivers of autistic youths who completed the SIS. The network of SIs was densely interconnected, characterized by six communities of interests: Fact-seeking, Engineering, Order-seeking, Object Attachment, Entertainment, and Scholarly Pursuits. Findings suggest that the structure of the observed network is likely to generalize to similar samples. Of all the SIs and their respective communities, behaviors related to Fact-seeking were identified as the most central, meaning that endorsement of these interests was most strongly related to co-endorsement of other SIs. These findings lay the groundwork for future work on SIs, such as improved assessment techniques and linkage of SIs to a broad range of demographic variables, youth characteristics, and autism symptoms.
