Titre : 'Accumulating harm and waiting for crisis': Parents' perspectives of accessing Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for their autistic child experiencing mental health difficulties Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Emma ASHWORTH, Auteur ; Lucy BRAY, Auteur ; Claire HANLON, Auteur ; Harvey STANWAY, Auteur ; Georgia PAVLOPOULOU, Auteur ; David MOORE, Auteur ; Bethany DONAGHY, Auteur ; Elizabeth COEN, Auteur ; Ellen FIRTH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2111-2122 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services children and young people crisis healthcare provision mental health Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic children and young people are at increased risk of mental health difficulties, but often face barriers when seeking help from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. This study aimed to (1) explore the experiences of parents/carers seeking help from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for their autistic child?s mental health difficulties, and (2) gain parents' perceptions of the accessibility of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for their child. A mixed-methods survey design was used. In total, 300 parents/carers took part from across the United Kingdom. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics, and qualitative data using qualitative content analysis. Findings demonstrated ongoing struggles that parents/carers faced when seeking help from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. Those who were referred reported a lack of reasonable adjustments and offers of ineffective or inappropriate therapies. Ultimately, parents felt their child?s mental health difficulties either did not improve or declined to the point of crisis. However, there was a recognition that some professionals were kind and compassionate. There is a need for a more neuro-inclusive and personalised approach in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. Further research, funding and training are urgently needed to ensure support is accessible, timely and effective for autistic young people.Lay abstract Autistic children and young people are more likely to experience mental health difficulties than neurotypical peers, but also face more barriers when seeking help from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. Findings highlight the need for a more neuroaffirmative approach from the professionals themselves, in the adjustments offered, and in the therapies provided. Barriers to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for autistic children and young people include diagnostic overshadowing (i.e. assuming mental health difficulties are part of autism), high thresholds for assessment and a lack of professional knowledge about autism and care pathways. Healthcare policies should ensure that all Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services professionals receive neuroaffirmative training and that resources/funding are provided for appropriate adjustments and early support. There is also a need for further research and funding to develop and evaluate effective neuroaffirmative therapeutic interventions.

E. Star team THE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1577-1592 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder emotional burden emotion dysregulation psychometrics Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Mental health problems are elevated in adolescents with ADHD and/or autism. Emotion regulation deficits (ERD) have been hypothesised as a key driver of such difficulties. The Regulating Emotions ? Strengthening Adolescent Resilience (RE-STAR) programme is examining an alternative pathway from neurodivergence to mental health problems, mediated by elevated emotional burden (EB) resulting from the interplay of increased exposure and an unusually intense emotional reaction to commonly upsetting events (CUEs). We present the development and application of the My Emotions in School Inventory (MESI), a self-report questionnaire co-produced with neurodivergent young people, focusing on EB in schools ? a setting thought to be of particular significance in this regard. Methods The MESI, containing 25 school-related CUEs rated on their frequency and the intensity of negative emotions they induce, was completed by secondary school students meeting symptom cut-offs on clinically validated scales of ADHD (n 100), autism (n 104), ADHD+autism (n 79) and neurotypical students (n 452). Psychometric properties were examined. The ability of the MESI to discriminate adolescents with ADHD and/or autism from neurotypical adolescents, and to predict depression and anxiety, independently of ERD, was explored. Results Adolescents in the ADHD and/or autism groups experienced higher CUE frequency and intensity of reaction than their neurotypical peers. Overall levels of EB, most robustly indexed by 24 MESI CUEs, were higher in the three neurodivergent groups, though they did not differ from each other. EB in the autism and ADHD groups was generated by distinctly different CUEs. EB and ERD each contributed independently to the prediction of higher depression or anxiety. Conclusions Our findings illustrate the potential value of the MESI as an instrument to measure the contribution of EB alongside ERD in relation to adolescent mental health risks in ADHD and/or autism. Future studies need to investigate its role longitudinally. En ligne : https://doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.70003 Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=568
