However, girls with autism have been hypothesized to beunderdiagnosed, possibly because they may present with differing symptom profiles ascompared to boys. This secondary data analysis used the National Database of AutismResearch (NDAR) to examine how gender and symptom profiles are associated with oneanother in a gold standard assessment of autism symptoms, the Autism DiagnosticObservation Schedule II (ADOS-II; Lord, C., Luyster, R., Guthrie, W., &Pickles A.

Epub 2012 Apr16. PMID: 22506796, PMCID: PMC3365612). ADOS-II scores from 6183 children ages6-14 years from 78 different studies in the NDAR indicated that gender was asignificant predictor of total algorithm, restrictive and repetitive behavioral, andsocial communicative difficulties composite severity scores. These findings suggestthat gender differences in ADOS scores are common in many samples and may reflect oncurrent diagnostic practices.

“Neurodivergent people just get each other”: Navigating friendship and community in the transition to adulthood for autistic adults / Samara M. Wolpe in Research in Autism, 128 (October 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 128 (October 2025) . - p.202692 Titre : “Neurodivergent people just get each other”: Navigating friendship and community in the transition to adulthood for autistic adults Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Samara M. Wolpe, Auteur ; Ingrid S. Tien, Auteur ; Maxwell N. LEE, Auteur ; Sila SOZERI, Auteur ; Iman M. HUMPHREY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.202692 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Social Experiences  Friendships  Romantic Relationships  Adulthood  Community Partnered Research  Neurodiversity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Purpose Quality friendships are integral to wellbeing for many autistic adults. However, the prevalence of loneliness is felt by many in the autistic community. The current study examines autistic adults’ social experiences in navigating friendships throughout early adulthood through a series of semi-structured interviews. Methods Seventeen autistic adults were interviewed on the subject of transitioning to adulthood. Themes related to friendships and relationships were analyzed. Data analyses followed the guidelines for reflexive thematic analysis proposed by Braun and Clarke (2024a;b). Results Participants recalled Forging Friendships, discomfort around stereotypes of autism, and gaining confidence in engaging in self-soothing behaviors. When creating friendships, participants experienced Sensory Overwhelm and struggled to explain their compensatory behaviors. As their friendships became closer, participants described Unmasking/Vulnerability as their friends got to know their authentic selves. When Creating Boundaries, participants recalled difficulties navigating sexual and romantic contact, difficulty discerning others’ motives, and struggles with realizing their own discomfort. Participants discussed Disclosure of their autistic identity, and Finding Community with other autistic individuals. Conclusion The findings from this study help to inform the field’s understanding of the social experiences of autistic adults, as well as ways in which future intervention design and services can support autistic adults developing meaningful, lasting relationships throughout their lives.

MCLEOD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.472-486 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The quality of care in public schools and other community settings for school-aged youths on the autism spectrum is variable and often not evidence-based. Training practitioners in these settings to deliver evidence-based practices (EBPs) may improve the quality of care. We developed a free internet-based training and clinical guidance system synthesizing multiple EBPs for youth on the autism spectrum addressing a range of mental health needs and autism-related behaviors, entitled Modular EBPs for Youth on the Autism Spectrum (MEYA; meya.ucla.edu). A multiple baseline study was conducted with seven practitioners recruited from mental health practice settings across the United States who were providing services to children on the autism spectrum (aged 6 to 17 years). Practitioners were randomly assigned to undergo baseline conditions of 2 to 8 weeks. Once online training in MEYA commenced, practitioners engaged in algorithm-guided self-instruction in EBPs for autism. Participants video-recorded sessions. Independent coders used the MEYA Fidelity Scale (MEYA-FS) to rate adherence and competence in EBPs for autism. Practitioners also completed measures pertaining to implementation outcomes and parents rated youth outcomes on personalized target behaviors. Five of seven practitioners increased their adherence to MEYA practices (i.e., MEYA-FS scores) following MEYA training. Findings for competence were similar, though somewhat less robust. Practitioners generally viewed MEYA as feasible, understandable, and acceptable. Most youth outcomes improved during MEYA. A randomized, controlled trial of MEYA would be helpful in characterizing its effectiveness for supporting practitioner EBP implementation and youth outcomes in school and community service settings.
