Method To identify community participation changes during COVID-19, we conducted a two-timepoint (2018 and 2022) longitudinal quantitative study involving 116 autistic adults in Pennsylvania to investigate the impact of the pandemic on their community participation. Community participation was measured by the Temple University Community Participation Measure, and the impact of the pandemic was measured by a series of factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., healthcare access, transportation, safety, etc.). Results Results of paired sample t-tests did not show changes in participants' total days of participation over the last 30 days, the total number of activities, or percentages of all activities participants considered important and participated in (i.e., breadth ratio) between the timepoints. However, the percentage of activities that were important to participants and in which they reported engaging as much as they wanted to (i.e., sufficiency ratio) reduced significantly. When examining participation outcomes and COVID-19 impact, we found that multiple participation outcomes (i.e., number of activities, breadth ratio, and sufficiency ratio) were negatively associated with the COVID-19 impact. Conclusion Results suggest that the COVID-19 impacts on autistic adults are variable, with those reporting a more significant impact also reporting a significantly lower level of participation. These findings emphasize the importance of individualized planning to support autistic adults to maintain or regain participation in their preferred activities during the pandemic and beyond.

What do we know about autism and policing globally? Preliminary findings from an international effort to examine autism and the criminal justice system / Dylan COOPER in Autism Research, 17-10 (October 2024)

To remedy this, the Global Autism and Criminal Justice Consortium created and disseminated the Global Criminal Justice Survey. Descriptive statistics of survey respondents with and without police contact were compared to glean differential characteristics. Frequency and type of recent police interactions (within the last 5?years) among autistic individuals were also examined to better contextualize the reasons that autistic individuals encounter police. Study findings indicated that across a global sample (i.e., North America, Scandinavia, Europe, and Oceania) nearly half of all autistic individuals had an interaction with police and that those with a history of police contact were usually older, had higher educational qualifications, and were more likely to have a co-occurring mental health or developmental disorder. Among types of interactions, noncriminal encounters, such as welfare checks, traffic incidents, wandering, and behaviors associated with autism, were most common, followed by autistic individuals alleging a crime was committed against them. These findings offer important directions for future research and for targeted policy responses that can address the unique needs of autistic individuals within the justice system.
