Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 54-6 (June 2024) . - p.2368-2385 Titre : Do Children Think it is Important to Predict Learning and Behaviour Problems, and Do They Think Genetic Screening Has a Role to Play in This? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Diana FIELDS, Auteur ; Kathryn ASBURY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2368-2385 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study explores how capable young children are of thinking about a potential future that uses DNA screening to assess an individual?s likelihood of experiencing learning or behaviour difficulties. Puppets and a scenario-based approach were used to ask children aged 4-10 (n = 165) whether they thought DNA screening might be helpful or harmful. A content analysis derived six categories: (1) 'Worried about being - and being seen as - different'; (2) 'Beliefs about the origins of learning and behaviour'; (3) 'Testing is harmful'; (4) 'Testing could help'; (5) 'How soon is too soon for testing?'; and (6) 'What?s the point?'. Findings indicate young children, as key stakeholders, can make useful contributions to public debate in this important and controversial area.
