Racial and Practical Barriers to Diagnostic and Treatment Services for Black Families of Autistic Youth: A Mixed-Method Exploration / Harlee Onovbiona in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 54-12 (December 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 54-12 (December 2024) . - p.4465-4480 Titre : Racial and Practical Barriers to Diagnostic and Treatment Services for Black Families of Autistic Youth: A Mixed-Method Exploration Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Harlee Onovbiona, Auteur ; Lauren QUETSCH, Auteur ; Rebecca Bradley, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4465-4480 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The present study explored the role race-related barriers and practical barriers to treatment participation play in treatment effectiveness and satisfaction among Black families with autistic youth using a mixed-method approach. In a sample of Black caregivers with autistic youth (N = 101), multiple regressions were conducted to examine the impact of reported racial and practical barriers on parental stress, treatment effectiveness, and treatment satisfaction. Caregivers provided further narratives on their experience navigating diagnostic and treatment services in qualitative interviews. The study demonstrated that Black caregivers of autistic youth are still encountering several racial and logistical barriers when seeking treatment and diagnostic services for their children. These barriers negatively impact caregiver stress and caregiver perceived treatment quality. Contrary to the barriers and stress experienced by Black caregivers, caregivers are generally satisfied with the treatments they are utilizing and find them helpful. The narratives told by caregivers further elucidate the tumultuous experiences of Black caregivers as they seek diagnostic and treatment services for their children. An experience that may be worsened by family, professional, and systemic barriers, and can be improved by advocacy, acceptance, peer and community support, and increased knowledge. Black families of autistic youth call for increased compassion, support, training, and humility among professionals who serve autistic youth.

Understanding aggression in autism across childhood: Comparisons with a non-autistic sample / Lauren B. QUETSCH in Autism Research, 16-6 (June 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 16-6 (June 2023) . - p.1185-1198 Titre : Understanding aggression in autism across childhood: Comparisons with a non-autistic sample Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lauren B. QUETSCH, Auteur ; Cynthia Brown, Auteur ; Harlee Onovbiona, Auteur ; Rebecca Bradley, Auteur ; Lindsey Aloia, Auteur ; Stephen KANNE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1185-1198 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : aggression  autism spectrum disorder  development  disruptive behavior  non-autistic Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract As many as half of all autistic youth face challenges with aggression. And while research in this area is growing, the prevalence and characterization of aggressive behaviors across autistic development remains poorly understood. This lack of knowledge on the autistic experience is further clouded as aggression is rarely compared against non-autistic youth samples. To address this gap in the literature, the present study compared autistic children (N?=?450) to non-autistic children (N?=?432) on multiple caregiver-report measures of aggressive behavior and associated constructs (i.e., anger, disruptive behavior) across key developmental periods (<6, 6?12, 13?17?years) via a cross-sectional design. Outcomes indicated higher levels of verbal aggression and behavioral intensity for autistic youth across development. Further, autistic children under age 6 had more significant levels of physical aggression than non-autistic peers; however, these levels became equal to non-autistic peers as the youths aged. Implications for differences in the presence of aggressive behavior as well as possible treatment options for aggression are discussed.
