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. (2012a). Patterns of developmental trajectories in toddlers with autismspectrum disorder. Journal of Consulting and ClinicalPsychology, 80(3):477-489.https://doi.org/10.1037/a0027214. 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.

Navigating the Transition to Adulthood: Insights from Caregivers of Autistic Individuals / Samara M. Wolpe ; Amanda R. Johnson ; Sunny KIM in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-1 (January 2025)

This study aims to learn more about the experiences of caregivers of autistic young adults, their experiences navigating the transition process post-graduation, and what realistic steps could be undertaken by high schools, vocational schools, colleges, Regional Centers, and places of employment to ease this transition. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with caregivers of autistic young adults over the age of 18 focused on their experiences helping their children navigate the transition to adulthood. Using an iterative and inductive coding approach, three overarching themes were uncovered with twelve subthemes. The three major themes recurring in caregiver interviews were their experiences with navigating service receipt, exploring the landscape of opportunities available for their children, and the parent experiences specific to their role in their child?s transition into adulthood. Findings from this study provide a chance for stakeholders to learn from the lived experiences of caregivers navigating the frustration and confusion pertaining to transition for their autistic adult child due to the highly prohibitive access to service receipt, experiencing significant financial burdens, finding a niche for their children that fits their needs, desires, and talents, and managing their well-being.

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.
