Anxiety in children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Bonnie M. MACNEIL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 3-1 (January 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 3-1 (January 2009) . - p.1-21 Titre : Anxiety in children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Bonnie M. MACNEIL, Auteur ; Vicki A. LOPES, Auteur ; Patricia M. MINNES, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.1-21 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Anxiety ASD Prevalence Assessment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Anxiety symptoms and disorders are highly prevalent in children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), although they are often unrecognized or misdiagnosed. The purpose of the present review is to (1) provide clinicians with practical information on assessment and diagnosis of co-morbid anxiety in children and adolescents with ASD, (2) summarize and critically examine the literature on anxiety in children and adolescents with ASD, and (3) recommend avenues for future research in this area. A review of the literature yielded several recommendations for the assessment of anxiety in youth with ASD. It was concluded that comprehensive assessments of anxiety in ASD populations should use multiple informants, multimodal assessment techniques, and standardized assessment methods that are appropriate for clinical use in ASD samples. Overall, studies suggest that youth with ASD experience greater levels of anxiety than community populations, similar levels of anxiety to clinically anxious groups, and different patterns of anxiety when compared to other clinical groups. Although existing studies are methodologically fair, their correspondence with clinical recommendations for assessment is poor. Recommendations to improve of the quality of empirical studies and directions for future research are discussed.

Twenty-five unrelated parents participated in a no-treatment control group. The participants completed online questionnaires prior to and following the 4-month support group, to evaluate changes in mood, anxiety, parenting stress, and positive perceptions. No significant differences between the groups or across time were found. However, parents who participated in the group reported being satisfied with the support they received and finding the group helpful. Issues related to participant recruitment and retention are discussed. Further research is required to investigate the efficacy of online support groups for parents of children with ASD.

Who Participates in Support Groups for Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders? The Role of Beliefs and Coping Style / Tessen CLIFFORD in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 43-1 (January 2013)

The Role of Beliefs and Coping Style Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Tessen CLIFFORD, Auteur ; Patricia M.

Those currently using parent support groups (PSGs) reported using more adaptive coping strategies than both parents who had never used PSGs and parents who had used PSGs in the past. Past PSG users reported that they did not find the groups as beneficial as current users, and parents who had never participated in PSGs reported difficulties with the accessibility of PSGs. Based on the current results, interventions for parents of children with ASD that are focused on meeting the needs identified by participating parents may be most effective.
