Titre : Characterizing Daily-Life Social Interactions in Adolescents and Young Adults with Neurodevelopmental Disorders: A Comparison Between Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders and 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Clémence FELLER, Auteur ; Laura ILEN, Auteur ; Stephan ELIEZ, Auteur ; Maude SCHNEIDER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.245-262 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Social impairments are common features of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) allowed access to daily-life information in order to explore the phenomenology of social interactions. 32 individuals with 22q11DS, 26 individuals with ASD and 44 typically developing peers (TD) aged 12 “30 were assessed during 6 days 8 times a day using a mobile app. Participants with 22q11DS and ASD did not spend more time alone but showed distinct implication in the social sphere than TD. Distinct profiles emerged between the two conditions regarding the subjective experience of aloneness and the subjective experience of social interactions. This study highlights distinct social functioning profiles in daily-life in 22q11DS and ASD that points towards different therapeutic targets.

Titre : Cognitive emotion regulation difficulties increase affective reactivity to daily-life stress in autistic adolescents and young adults Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Clémence FELLER, Auteur ; Maude SCHNEIDER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1703-1718 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescence ecological momentary assessment emotion regulation mental health negative affects psychological stress Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Increased reactivity to daily stressors is associated with mental health difficulties, which are common in autistic individuals. We investigated affective reactivity to daily-life stress, cognitive emotion regulation, and their link with co-occurring mental health symptoms in adolescents and young adults with autism. A 6-day ecological momentary assessment protocol was used to assess perceived daily-life stress (event-related, activity-related, and social stress) as well as negative affects in autistic (n = 39, age = 18.4) and non-autistic (n = 55, age = 18.1) participants. Co-occurring mental health difficulties, social functioning, and cognitive emotion regulation were assessed with questionnaires and clinical evaluations. Youth with autism showed higher levels of perceived stress related to their daily social context and activities, as well as an increased affective reactivity to activity-related stressors compared with non-autistic youth. Moreover, they reported using less adaptive and more non-adaptive emotion regulation, the latter increasing their affective response to daily stressors and possibly contributing to the severity of co-occurring mental health symptoms. Our findings demonstrate high perceived daily-life stress in autistic adolescents and young adults. To minimize the negative effects of stress and the development of mental health symptoms, interventions could focus on effective stress management and strategies that autistic young people use to manage their emotions. Lay abstract Previous research has shown that autistic individuals report high levels of perceived stress and have an increased likelihood of developing mental health difficulties. Increase in individuals' negative emotions in relation to perceived stress (i.e. affective reactivity to stress) is a known risk factor for mental health difficulties. In this study, we investigated perceived daily stress and affective reactivity to stress in autistic (n = 39, age = 18.4) and non-autistic (n = 55, age = 18.1) adolescents and young adults. We used the ecological momentary assessment, a technique that allows to assess individuals repeatedly in their daily life using their smartphone. Moreover, participants filled a questionnaire to evaluate the strategies they use to regulate emotions when faced with difficulties. Finally, a clinical interview and a parent-report questionnaire were used to assess mental health symptoms. Autistic youth reported higher levels of perceived daily stress compared with non-autistic peers. Moreover, they showed increased affective reactivity to stress related to their daily activities. Autistic participants reported more emotion regulation difficulties (e.g. more repetitive thinking of difficulties) compared with non-autistic participants. Difficulties in emotion regulation increased negative emotions in relation to stress and might contribute to the severity of mental health symptoms. We conclude that adolescents and young adults with autism report high perceived stress in their daily lives. To minimize the negative impact of stress and the development of mental health symptoms, people supporting autistic young people could focus on stress management skills and the strategies that the youth use to manage emotions.

Titre : Cognitive Emotion Regulation, Peer Victimisation, and Stress Reactivity as Multidimensional Pathways to Suicidality and Self-Harm in Autistic Individuals Without Intellectual Disability Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Giuseppe Alessio CARBONE, Auteur ; Laura NIGRO, Auteur ; Laura ILEN, Auteur ; Clémence FELLER, Auteur ; Julie HUSMANN, Auteur ; Maude SCHNEIDER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2095-2106 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : suicidal thoughts and behaviours (STBs) peer victimisation emotion regulation stress reactivity autism suicidal ideation self-harm Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic individuals without intellectual disabilities show high rates of suicidal thoughts and behaviours (STBs); however, the processes underlying this vulnerability remain still unclear and understudied. This study examined STBs within a multidimensional framework integrating intrapersonal, interpersonal, and environmental factors. Eighty-four autistic adolescents and young adults (aged 12–32 years) were included. Overall, 36.9% of participants reported suicidal ideation, 27.4% reported self-harm, and 42.9% endorsed at least one indicator of STBs. Regression analyses reported that peer victimisation was associated with both suicidal ideation and self-harm, while self-harm also showed a specific association with cognitive emotion regulation strategy. Two canonical correlation analyses were performed, including maladaptive and adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies. A positive canonical correlation emerged between maladaptive strategies and the STBs domain, whereas a negative canonical correlation was observed between adaptive strategies and the same outcome. Finally, as a sensitivity analysis, a moderation model examined whether perceived stress reactivity influenced the association between emotion regulation and self-harm, showing that this association varied as a function of stress reactivity. Overall, these findings indicate that STBs in autism reflect a dynamic psychopathological process involving interpersonal, intrapersonal, and stress-related domains, with important implications for clinical assessment and the development of targeted prevention strategies.Lay abstract Autistic adolescents and young adults without intellectual disability are at increased risk of suicidal thoughts and self-harm behaviours, but the factors linked to this risk are still not fully understood. This study examined whether peer victimisation, cognitive emotion regulation, and individual stress reactivity were associated with suicidal thoughts and self-harm in 84 autistic people aged 12 to 32 years. Peer victimisation was related to both suicidal thoughts and self-harm behaviours, suggesting that negative experiences with peers may be an important vulnerability factor. Self-harm also showed a more specific association with emotion regulation. In particular, blaming others was negatively associated with self-harm, especially among participants who reported higher stress reactivity. This suggests that, in some contexts, attributing distress to external causes may have a self-protective function rather than being simply maladaptive. Overall, these findings suggest that suicidal thoughts and self-harm behaviours in autistic people may arise from a combination of social adversity, emotion regulation, and stress-related processes. Clinical assessment and prevention should therefore consider peer victimisation and stress reactivity, as well as the specific function of different emotion regulation strategies.

Titre : Diurnal cortisol profiles in autistic adolescents and young adults: Associations with social difficulties and internalizing mental health symptoms Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Farnaz DELAVARI, Auteur ; Clémence FELLER, Auteur ; Olivia ZANOLETTI, Auteur ; Carmen SANDI, Auteur ; Maude SCHNEIDER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1601-1615 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Several autism-related characteristics, such as social difficulties, may contribute to high perceived stress and increased exposure to stressful life events in some autistic individuals. Repeated exposure to stress might lead to the dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical-axis and be a vulnerability factor for developing mental health difficulties. Previous studies show contradictory findings on salivary cortisol in autism. In the current study, we investigated diurnal cortisol profiles in autistic adolescents and young adults, as well as their associations with social difficulties, stress exposure, and mental health symptoms. Autistic (n = 48, Mage = 17.6) and nonautistic (n = 51, Mage = 18.4) participants collected salivary cortisol at home six times a day for 2 days. Social difficulties, exposure to stressful life events/bullying, and mental health symptoms were assessed with questionnaires and clinical interviews. Similar diurnal cortisol slopes (DCS) and cortisol awakening responses were observed between the groups, but autistic participants showed higher total cortisol output (AUCG, area under the curve with respect to ground) during the day (b = 19.09, p = 0.009). In the autistic group, more severe social difficulties were associated with flatter DCS (b = 0.01, p = 0.007). Finally, cortisol alterations were associated with self-reported mental health symptoms, especially in autistic females in analyses uncorrected for multiple comparisons. In conclusion, our results do not indicate autism-related group-level alterations in most diurnal cortisol measures, but autistic youth showed higher total cortisol (AUCG) compared with nonautistic peers. More detailed investigation of interindividual variability in cortisol profiles within autistic people might give us important insights into vulnerability to developing stress-related mental health difficulties.

Titre : Episodic Future Thinking in Autism Spectrum Disorder and 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome: Association with Anticipatory Pleasure and Social Functioning Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Clémence FELLER, Auteur ; Charlotte DUBOIS, Auteur ; Stephan ELIEZ, Auteur ; Maude SCHNEIDER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4587-4604 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder DiGeorge Syndrome Humans Memory, Episodic Mental Recall Pleasure Social Interaction 22q11.2 deletion syndrome Anticipatory pleasure Autism spectrum disorder Autonoetic consciousness Episodic future thinking Social functioning Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Episodic future thinking (EFT) has been suggested to underlie anticipatory pleasure (AP), itself known to play a crucial role in social functioning (SF). Both AP and SF are impaired in various clinical populations, including autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS). Therefore, the relationship between EFT, AP and SF was investigated, as well as the potential role of projecting oneself in a social vs. non-social context. Seventy-seven participants [24 with 22q11DS, 20 with ASD, 33 typically developing controls (TDs)] (aged 12-25) were included. They were assessed with a future thinking task in which they were asked to recall a memory and produce a likely event. Narratives were rated based of specificity, richness and imaginability. Participants completed questionnaires assessing AP and SF. Narratives from ASD and 22q11DS participants were rated as less vivid compared to TDs. However, the characteristics of the narratives differed between ASD and 22q11DS participants in terms of specificity and level of details, as well as in reaction to social condition. Moreover, correlations were found between AP and EFT in both ASD and 22q11DS participants, and between SF and EFT in ASD participants. These results point towards impairments in EFT in both ASD and 22q11DS participants but with a specific profile in each condition. The observed associations between EFT and AP suggest that decreased autonoetic consciousness might underlie AP impairments. In ASD individuals, the association between SF and EFT highlights the need to better characterize EFT since EFT could be another mechanism contributing to social difficulties.
