Recent research has focused on positive psychological constructs, such as grit (consistency of interests and perseverance of effort) and subjective well-being (life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect). However, the understanding of grit in adults with ASD remains unclear. This study investigated the current state of and relationships between grit, engagement in activities of interest, and subjective well-being in adults with ASD and compared these findings to those of adults without ASD. Method A web-based questionnaire on grit, engagement in activities of interest, and subjective well-being was administered to 120 adults with ASD and 120 adults without ASD. Results Adults with ASD had significantly lower scores for life satisfaction, positive affect, and consistency of interests-defined as the tendency to maintain stable interests for long-term goals-but higher scores for negative affect than those without ASD. No significant differences were found in perseverance of effort or engagement in activities of interest. Consistency of interests was negatively related to negative affect. Perseverance of effort was positively associated with life satisfaction and positive affect. Finally, engagement in activities of interest was positively linked to subjective well-being; however, grit did not moderate this relationship. Conclusions This study revealed that grit and engagement in activities of interest were associated with subjective well-being. Therefore, promoting grit and engagement in activities of interest may be effective in enhancing the subjective well-being of adults with ASD.

Syntactic development and verbal short-term memory of children with autism spectrum disorders having intellectual disabilities and children with down syndrome / Manami KOIZUMI in Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 7 (January-December 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism & Developmental Language Impairments > 7 (January-December 2022) Titre : Syntactic development and verbal short-term memory of children with autism spectrum disorders having intellectual disabilities and children with down syndrome Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Manami KOIZUMI, Auteur ; Michio KOJIMA, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Intellectual disabilities  autism spectrum disorder  down syndrome  syntactic development  verbal short-term memory Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background and aims Previous studies suggest that syntactic development in children with intellectual disabilities (ID) is positively correlated with verbal short-term memory (VSTM). This study investigated the characteristics of syntactic development and their relationships of VSTM in children with ID based on type. Methods The participants were children with ID (N=34), including 14 children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), 20 with Down syndrome (DS), with chronological ages from 8 years 10 months to 18 years 4 months and nonverbal mental ages (MA) of over 4 years, and typically developing (TD) children (N=21) with chronological ages from 5 years 0 months to 5 years 10 months. They were assessed using VSTM, syntactic comprehension, and expression tasks. Results The results showed that both the ASD and DS groups performed significantly lower on the syntactic comprehension task and the syntactic expression task than the TD group with the same nonverbal MA in the complex aspect of grammatical structure. In the VSTM task, the ASD group showed significantly lower performance in sentence and story repetition tasks than the TD group of the same nonverbal MA. The DS group showed significantly lower performance in forward digit span, and word, nonword, sentence, and story repetition tasks than the TD group of the same nonverbal MA. Conclusions These results suggest that children with ASD have difficulty in understanding and remembering linguistic information with complex semantic structures, and children with DS have a small capacity for VSTM, affecting their syntactic development.
