Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the mental health and wellbeing of the world's population, with particularly negative effects on vulnerable populations, including autistic people. Although some consensus regarding specific impact on aspects of wellbeing and mental health in autism is starting to emerge, it is unclear whether the pandemic has increased suicide risk. The goals of this study were to examine (a) potential associations between COVID-19 impact and depression, personal wellbeing, and suicide risk factors in Australian autistic adults and (b) age and gender effects. The COVID-19 Impact Scale (CIS), Personal Wellbeing Index, Patient Health Questionnaire, and the Suicide Behavior Questionnaire, Revised (SBQ-R), were administered to 111 autistic adults aged 20 to 71 years during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia. COVID-19 impact showed small associations with poorer personal wellbeing (r = -0.224, p = 0.023, [-0.409, -0.016]) and higher depressive symptoms (r = 0.268, p = 0.006, [0.056, 0.445]) and was not associated with the SBQ-R suicide risk score (r = 0.081, p = 0.418, [-0.118, 0.264). No significant effects were identified for age. Although model results were similar for women and men, the strength of the associations between personal wellbeing and depression (z = -2.16, p = 0.015), and depression and SBQ-R suicide risk (z = 1.961, p = 0.025), were stronger in women than in men. Qualitative analysis of an open response question from the CIS suggested that the pandemic had both positive and negative impacts on participants. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a large impact on the mental health and wellbeing of the world's population, particularly vulnerable populations such as autistic people. It is not known if these impacts on mental health and wellbeing have increased suicide risk. Our findings suggest that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may be associated with poorer wellbeing and higher depression, but is not associated with suicide risk. Overall, autistic people reported both positive and negative impacts of the pandemic on their lives.

The relationship between alexithymia and self-esteem in autistic adolescents / Melissa STRANG in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 112 (April 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 112 (April 2024) . - p.102334 Titre : The relationship between alexithymia and self-esteem in autistic adolescents Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Melissa STRANG, Auteur ; Caitlin M. MACMILLAN, Auteur ; Claire M. BROWN, Auteur ; Merrilyn HOOLEY, Auteur ; Mark A. STOKES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102334 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Self-esteem  Cognitive Alexithymia  Affective Alexithymia  Adolescence Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Research suggests autistic adolescents experience lower self-esteem and higher cognitive alexithymia than non-autistic adolescents. Heightened cognitive alexithymia has been associated with lower self-esteem in non-autistic adolescents but remains unexamined in autistic populations. This study aimed to examine whether autism diagnosis and alexithymia subscales significantly predicted self-esteem. Method Data were collected from 102 participants (53 autistic and 49 non-autistic adolescents) using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Bermond-Vorst Alexithymia Questionnaire, and the Autism Quotient. Results Our results found that compared to non-autistic adolescents, autistic adolescents report lower self-esteem (F(1, 99)= 8.79, p < .005, 2= .08), and higher cognitive alexithymia (F(1, 99)= 22.51, p < .001, 2= .19), but not affective alexithymia (F(1, 99)= .50, p = .481, 2< .01). Additionally, we found evidence that autism diagnosis (b= 2.86, SE=0.99, p = .005) and cognitive alexithymia (b= 0.30, SE=0.10, p = .003), but not affective alexithymia, predicted lower self-esteem. The addition of cognitive alexithymia to the model removed the significance of diagnosis (b= 1.31, SE=1.02, p = .201). This model accounted for 26% of variance (R2=.26, F(7, 94)= 4.77, p < .001). Exploratory mediation analysis revealed that cognitive alexithymia significantly mediated the relationship between autistic traits and self-esteem (b= 0.10, SE=0.03, CI[ 0.16, 0.49], p < .001), accounting for 22.93% of variance, and removing any direct effect. Conclusion The results suggest that autistic adolescents experiencing difficulties identifying emotions are more likely to have lower self-esteem than autistic adolescents that report less difficulty identifying emotions. Assessing autistic adolescents for alexithymia and providing support to identify emotions may result in more effective support for low self-esteem.
