Titre : Feasibility, Acceptability and Preliminary Efficacy of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Autistic Adults without Intellectual Disability: A Mixed Methods Study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Doha BEMMOUNA, Auteur ; Romain COUTELLE, Auteur ; Sébastien WEIBEL, Auteur ; Luisa WEINER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4337-4354 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adults Autism spectrum disorder Dialectical behavior therapy Emotion dysregulation Self-harm Suicidality Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Self-harm and suicidal behaviors are prevalent among autistic adults without intellectual disability (ID). Emotion dysregulation (ED), the difficulty in modulating emotions, has been identified as an important risk factor. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) has been proved effective to treat ED in disorders other than autism spectrum disorder. Our study aimed at assessing the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of DBT in seven autistic adults without ID exhibiting self-harm and/or suicidal behaviors linked to severe ED. Our results suggest that DBT is feasible and highly acceptable to autistic adults without ID. Additionally, mean scores on the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale decreased significantly post-treatment and at 4-month follow-up, suggesting that DBT might be efficacious in reducing ED in this population.

Titre : ‘I live with my emotions much better now’: A qualitative study of autistic adults’ subjective experience of dialectical behaviour therapy Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Luisa WEINER, Auteur ; Doha BEMMOUNA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2741-2755 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum condition dialectical behaviour therapy emotion dysregulation non-suicidal self-injury qualitative analysis suicidality Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Many Autistic adults without intellectual disability experience emotion dysregulation, which is associated with non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal behaviour. Dialectical behaviour therapy has been shown to be feasible, acceptable and potentially effective is supporting Autistic adults without intellectual disability with improved emotion regulation. Since dialectical behaviour therapy research is in its early stages in the field of autism, it is crucial to better understand the subjective experience of Autistic adults who received dialectical behaviour therapy to improve its pertinence for this population. Twenty-two Autistic adults presenting with emotion dysregulation with non-suicidal self-injury and/or suicidal behaviour/ideation who received a comprehensive dialectical behaviour therapy were interviewed using a semi-structured approach. A reflexive thematic analysis was conducted. Three superordinate themes were identified from the thematic analysis: (1) dialectical behaviour therapy is highly useful, structured and demanding; (2) dialectical behaviour therapy leads to changes in emotion labelling, emotion regulation and relationships; and (3) self-acceptance and feeling empowered to handle life’s challenges. Ideas to foster the pertinence of dialectical behaviour therapy for Autistic adults were also collected. Our findings indicate that dialectical behaviour therapy was experienced as highly helpful despite the effort it requires. Participants reported changes in emotion experience, social relationships, self-concept and quality of life, probably due to increased emotion awareness, emotion control and self-regulation. Suggestions include the increased use of modelling to foster skills acquisition.Lay Abstract Many Autistic adults struggle with their emotion regulation. Dialectical behaviour therapy is the main therapy available to teach emotion regulation skills to people with this kind of struggle. Prior work has shown that dialectical behaviour therapy might be effective for Autistic people. Yet interest in dialectical behaviour therapy is new in the field of autism, so it is important to understand whether and how the therapy may help Autistic adults better live with their emotions. This article uses interviews conducted with 22 Autistic people following dialectical behaviour therapy. We outline several factors that might make dialectical behaviour therapy effective for Autistic people. For instance, dialectical behaviour therapy seems to help Autistic people better label and understand their emotions, but also accept and respect themselves. Nevertheless, dialectical behaviour therapy is demanding and some changes are suggested to improve the effects of dialectical behaviour therapy, such as providing a less intensive format to diminish fatigue. Our article provides evidence for the usefulness of dialectical behaviour therapy to help Autistic adults better deal with their emotions and improve their quality of life. Building from the experience of Autistic people, our study highlights the perceived benefits of dialectical behaviour therapy and the potential changes (e.g. reduction of text) to improve the utility of dialectical behaviour therapy for Autistic adults.

Titre : Self-compassion as an antidote to self-stigma and shame in autistic adults Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Raven BUREAU, Auteur ; Odile ROHMER, Auteur ; Céline CLEMENT, Auteur ; Luisa WEINER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1569-1584 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism camouflaging depression self-compassion self-stigma shame Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic individuals are frequently exposed to stigmatizing attitudes and discrimination. Through the lived experience of stigmatizing attitudes, autistic people can internalize the negative stereotypes associated with autism. This phenomenon is known as self-stigma. In non-autistic populations, self-stigma is associated with shame and negative mental health outcomes. In this study, we aim to better understand the mental health outcomes associated with self-stigma in autism and to investigate whether and how self-compassion compared to camouflaging may protect from self-stigma in autistic individuals. For this purpose, 689 adults who reported a diagnosis of autism were recruited online and completed self-reported questionnaires for self-stigma (Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale-9 items), self-compassion (Self-Compassion Scale-short form), depression (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21) and camouflaging (Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire). We conducted mediation analysis and moderated mediation analysis. Our results indicate that self-stigma is highly prevalent in autistic adults (45.5%), correlated to depression (? (687) = 0.437, p < 0.001) and that internalized shame mediates the relationship between self-stigma and depressive symptoms (b = 1.48, 95% confidence interval = (1.11, 1.94)). Self-compassion moderates this mediation (Indirect Effect, IE = 0.305, 95% confidence interval = (0.601, 0.014), ? = 0.183, z = 2.012, p = 0.044), whereas camouflaging does not (IE = 0.003, 95% confidence interval = (0.009, 0.015), ? = 0.0531, z = 0.514, p = 0.607). These results highlight the protective effect of self-compassion on the negative impacts of self-stigma in autistic individuals. Future research should explore how to adapt existing compassion-focused interventions and evaluate their feasibility and efficacy to reduce self-stigma and shame in autistic populations.Lay abstract What is already known about the topic?Autistic individuals are frequently exposed to stigmatizing attitudes and discrimination. Negative stereotypes about autism, such as dangerousness or inability to work, are very frequent in our societies. Through exposure to these stigmatizing ideas, autistic people can internalize these ideas and begin to believe them to be true about themselves. This is self-stigma. Past research conducted with non-autistic individuals indicate that self-stigma can lead people to feel ashamed of who they are and deteriorate their mental health.What this paper adds?In this paper, we found that self-stigma in autistic people increases depressive symptoms through feelings of shame. We then showed that relating to self with compassion - that is, to be friendly towards oneself (kindness), be aware of one?s feelings and thoughts (mindful awareness) and realize that everyone feels pain and makes mistakes (common humanity) - helps reducing the negatives consequences of self-stigma on mental health. We also demonstrated that camouflaging does not modify the impact of self-stigma on mental health.Implications for practice, research or policy?Because self-compassion can protect from the negative effects of self-stigma, future research should explore how to adapt existing compassion-focused interventions and evaluate their feasibility and efficacy to reduce self-stigma and shame in autistic people.

Titre : The biosocial correlates and predictors of emotion dysregulation in autistic adults compared to borderline personality disorder and nonclinical controls Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Doha BEMMOUNA, Auteur ; Amine LAGZOULI, Auteur ; Luisa WEINER, Auteur Article en page(s) : 47 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adult Humans Female Autistic Disorder Borderline Personality Disorder/complications/diagnosis/psychology Cross-Sectional Studies Surveys and Questionnaires Emotions Aetiology Autism spectrum condition Biosocial Borderline personality disorder Emotion dysregulation Non-suicidal self-injury Suicidality Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Emotion dysregulation (ED) is a core symptom of borderline personality disorder (BPD), whose aetiology has been attributed to biosocial factors. In autism spectrum condition (ASC), although ED is prevalent and is associated with decreased well-being (e.g. self-harm, suicidality), it has been understudied, especially in adults. It is therefore crucial to further understand ED in autistic adults to improve its treatment. Our study investigates ED, its behavioural correlates (e.g. self-harm, suicidality) and biosocial predictors in autistic adults relative to BPD and nonclinical controls (NC). METHODS: A total of 724 participants (ASC 154; BPD 111; NC 459) completed 11 self-reported questionnaires assessing ED, ASC and BPD traits, co-occurring disorders, alexithymia, emotional vulnerability and invalidating experiences (e.g. bullying, autistic camouflaging). The occurrence of ED behavioural correlates (i.e. self-harm, history of suicide attempts, and psychiatric hospitalizations) was collected. In addition, between-groups analyses, linear regressions and machine learning (ML) models were used to identify ED predictors in each group. RESULTS: ED and its behavioural correlates were higher in ASC compared to NC, but milder than in BPD. While gender did not predict ED scores, autistic women had increased risk factors to ED, including sexual abuse and camouflaging. Interestingly, BPD traits, emotional vulnerability and alexithymia strongly predicted ED scores across the groups. Using ML models, sensory sensitivity and autistic camouflaging were associated with ED in ASC, and ADHD symptoms with ED in BPD. LIMITATIONS: ASC and BPD diagnoses were self-reported, which did not allow us to check their accuracy. Additionally, we did not explore the transactional and the moderating/mediating relationships between the different variables. Moreover, our research is cross-sectional and cannot draw conclusions regarding the direction and causality of relationships between ED and other clinical dimensions. CONCLUSIONS: ED and its behavioural correlates are heightened in BPD compared to ASC and nonclinical controls. In the ASC group, there were no gender differences in ED, despite the heightened exposure of autistic women to ED risk factors. BPD traits, emotional vulnerability, and alexithymia are core to ED regardless of diagnosis. Although less central, sensory sensitivity and autistic camouflaging seem to be specific predictors of ED in autistic adults.
