MAZUREK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1765-1773 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The capacity of families with autistic children to demonstrate resilience is a notable strength that has received little attention in the literature. A potential predictor of family resilience in households with autistic youth is neighborhood support. This study examined the relationship between neighborhood support and family resilience in households with autistic youth utilizing data from the National Survey of Children?s Health. A structural equation model was constructed as neighborhood support and family resilience were latent variables. Findings demonstrated that neighborhood support significantly predicts family resilience. This study contributes to the literature as the first quantitative investigation of predictors of family resilience with this group. Strengths of autistic youth, their families, and their communities can be and should be leveraged to address challenges.

Impact of adverse childhood experiences and family resilience on sleep duration in autistic children / Eleonora SADIKOVA in Autism, 28-10 (October 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 28-10 (October 2024) . - p.2612-2622 Titre : Impact of adverse childhood experiences and family resilience on sleep duration in autistic children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Eleonora SADIKOVA, Auteur ; Jim SOLAND, Auteur ; Michelle MENEZES, Auteur ; Micah MAZUREK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2612-2622 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders  family functioning and support  sleep Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic children are at higher risk of experiencing adverse childhood experiences, which lead to negative health outcomes such as sleep difficulties. In the general population, family resilience can help reduce the negative impact of adverse childhood experiences on child functioning. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of adverse childhood experiences on sleep duration, and whether family resilience moderates this impact in autistic children. With data from 2882 caregivers of children with autism from the National Survey of Children?s Health, we examined the role of family resilience on the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and sleep duration. As shown in previous findings, there was a main effect of adverse childhood experiences on sleep duration. There was no significant main effect of family resilience on sleep duration. Results also show that family resilience moderates the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and sleep duration, possibly serving as a protective factor. Lay abstract Autistic children are more likely to have sleep difficulties and to experience adverse childhood experiences. Adverse childhood experiences can include parental divorce, bullying, or witnessing violence. We also know that children in families who are resilient (e.g. families who are connected, work together, and help each other) are less impacted by adverse childhood experiences. Our study examined whether there was a relationship between adverse childhood experiences and sleep duration in autistic children. We also wanted to find out whether family resilience protects from the negative impact of adverse childhood experiences on sleep duration. We used data from 3247 parent surveys about their children that we got from the National Survey of Children?s Health. We found that children with adverse childhood experiences are more likely to get less sleep. We also found that children with resilient families were more likely to get more sleep. Our results show that family resilience helps weaken the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and sleep, so it is important to help families build resilience.

Screen time and diagnoses of anxiety and depression in autistic versus neurotypical youth / Michelle MENEZES in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 107 (September 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 107 (September 2023) . - p.102222 Titre : Screen time and diagnoses of anxiety and depression in autistic versus neurotypical youth Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Michelle MENEZES, Auteur ; Jim SOLAND, Auteur ; Micah MAZUREK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102222 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Mental health  Screen  Technology  Electronic Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autistic youth engage in higher levels of screen time and are more likely to have mental health conditions (e.g., anxiety and depression) than their neurotypical peers; however, no study has compared the relationship between daily screen time hours and mental health in autistic and neurotypical youth. Therefore, this study sought to compare the association between parent-reported daily screen time hours and parent-reported anxiety and depression in a large, nationally derived sample of autistic and neurotypical youth (i.e., with data from the National Survey of Children?s Health). Method Separate binary logistic regressions were conducted for depression and anxiety as the dependent variable. Screen time was the independent variable of interest in all models. Covariates included were child age, sex, and race, as well as family/household income. Screen time estimates/coefficients were compared across autistic and neurotypical youth. Results Findings showed that screen time was significantly associated with anxiety and depression in neurotypical youth; conversely, screen time was not significantly associated with anxiety and depression in autistic youth. Conclusions Results indicate that autistic children may have a different relationship with electronic screen media than neurotypical children. Whereas neurotypical youth find electronic screen media to be a source of social stress and comparison, autistic youth may not experience screen time as stress-inducing. Supporters (e.g., parents and clinicians) of autistic youth should consider whether the autistic child experiences screen time as promotive, reductive, or neither for their mental health before establishing screen time limits.
