However, there is a dearth of research examining potential disparities in autistic youth with depression. The current study examined disparities in depressive symptoms among a sample of Black and White autistic youth between the ages of 16 and 26 years old. Using analysis of covariance this study found that the Black autistic youth had significantly higher depressive symptoms than White autistic youth (m = 7.3, sd = 4.4 vs. m = 3.8, sd = 3.6; t = 2.6, p = 0.013). This study presents initial evidence of a significant racial disparity between Black and White autistic youth depressive symptoms.

Perspective: The role of diversity advisory boards in autism research / Ed-Dee G. WILLIAMS in Autism, 27-3 (April 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 27-3 (April 2023) . - p.864-869 Titre : Perspective: The role of diversity advisory boards in autism research Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ed-Dee G. WILLIAMS, Auteur ; Matthew J. SMITH, Auteur ; Brian A. BOYD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.864-869 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders,community engagement,diversity,diversity boards Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In this perspective, we argue that the regular use of diversity advisory boards in autism research will improve the inclusivity and participation of marginalized groups in autism research and intervention development. We define a diversity advisory board as a representative group of community members, scholars, policymakers, and area experts that specifically discuss and examine research and interventions for accurate representation and consideration of underrepresented and marginalized identities such as racial, gender, sexual minorities, and dis/abilities who are often excluded from the research process. We present three arguments for forming and integrating diversity advisory boards in autism research and intervention development. First, diversity advisory boards would encourage scholars and interventionists to be intentional in considering how their intervention will work for culturally, racially, gendered, and dis/ability diverse groups. Second, diversity advisory boards will lead to increased diverse samples of autistic participants if members of the board are incentivized to support recruitment efforts from their local communities and networks. Finally, the regular use of diversity advisory boards will improve the research-to-practice gap by including a wider range of community members in the early development and implementation of autism interventions. Recommended actions researchers could take to select, maintain, and meaningfully engage a diversity advisory board are included in this perspective.Lay abstractThis article argues that using groups of individuals that specifically focus on addressing issues with diversity in autism research and autism intervention development are key in ensuring that a greater amount of racial, ethnic, and gender diverse autistic individuals are included in the research and that the research is addressing the needs of these individuals and groups. We call these groups a diversity advisory board. A diversity advisory board will help improve diversity in autism research and intervention development by making sure that autism researchers (1) are intentional about addressing issues of diversity in their research and (2) are able to recruit a greater number of autistic individuals with diverse identities, and (3) by giving greater consideration to the context of diverse autistic individuals which will help autism-focused interventions work better in community settings. We give a short description of these arguments and ideas for how to form and use a diversity advisory board.

A pilot RCT of virtual reality job interview training in transition-age youth on the autism spectrum / Helen M. GENOVA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 89 (November 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 89 (November 2021) . - 101878 Titre : A pilot RCT of virtual reality job interview training in transition-age youth on the autism spectrum Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Helen M. GENOVA, Auteur ; Katie LANCASTER, Auteur ; James MORECRAFT, Auteur ; Mikayla HAAS, Auteur ; Alexandra EDWARDS, Auteur ; Michael DIBENEDETTO, Auteur ; Denise KRCH, Auteur ; John DELUCA, Auteur ; Matthew J. SMITH, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101878 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Transition age youth  Adolescents  Job interview  Virtual reality  RCT Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Adolescents on the autism spectrum may have difficulty obtaining and maintaining employment. One particular obstacle for adolescents on the autism spectrum is the job interview. The purpose of the current pilot randomized controlled trial is to examine the preliminary effectiveness and feasibility of a virtual reality job interview tool (VR-JIT) in improving job interview performance in adolescents on the autism spectrum. Method The study was implemented in a high school setting. Fourteen adolescents on the autism spectrum were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group (n = 7) and a services as usual (SAU) control group (n = 7). The intervention group received 10 h of VR-JIT, which includes interviewing with a virtual human and receiving feedback. All participants performed a video-recorded mock job interview at pre-test and post-test, which was rated by blinded assessors to track interview skills. Students filled out questionnaires related to job interviewing anxiety and self-efficacy pre- and post- intervention. Feasibility metrics were recorded as well. Results Repeated Measures ANOVA revealed improved a metric of job interview performance in the experimental group following the intervention compared to the control group, indicated by medium to large effect sizes. However, perceptions of anxiety and self-efficacy did not improve following the intervention. Students reported that the intervention was easy to use and enjoyable. Conclusions The current pilot study indicates preliminary evidence of the VR-JIT’s effectiveness in improving measures of job interview performance in adolescents on the autism spectrum, even though their own perceptions did not improve. Importantly, the VR-JIT intervention was implemented in a school setting, demonstrating feasibility in its adoption as part of curriculum to help improve employment outcomes in transition age youth on the autism spectrum.
