Titre : Occurrence and Correlates of Suicidal Thoughts Among Young Autistic Users of a Mental Health App Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : T.L. PROCYSHYN, Auteur ; E.M. WEIR, Auteur ; M. PELTON, Auteur ; T. CHIKAURA, Auteur ; H. HODGES, Auteur ; K. COMLEY, Auteur ; S. GODSON, Auteur ; C. ALLISON, Auteur ; S. BARON-COHEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.e70251 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism depression mental health self-harm suicide Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : ABSTRACT Young autistic people experience disproportionately high rates of mental health challenges, yet little is known about factors associated with suicidality in this group. This study leveraged anonymous self-report data to identify correlates of suicidal thoughts among 365 young users (aged approximately 11?25?years) of a mental health app in the United Kingdom with an autism diagnosis or self-identifying as autistic. The presence of suicidal thoughts was assessed as a binary item. Binary logistic regression was used to explore correlates of suicidal thoughts across three domains: mental health-related symptoms, autism-related factors, and adverse life events/experiences. The final model included all significant correlates from domain-specific models alongside demographic factors. Suicidal thoughts were reported by 63% of participants, with similar rates across age groups. The final model accounted for nearly 50% of variability in the presence of suicidal thoughts (R 2 Nagelkerke?=?0.48, p?0.001). Self-harm and depression showed the strongest positive associations (odds ratio, OR and [95% confidence interval]?=?6.41 [3.62, 11.35] and 4.58 [2.51, 8.35], respectively), followed by a history of physical abuse (OR?=?3.01 [1.20, 7.56]) and a transgender/gender-diverse identity (OR?=?2.13 [1.11, 4.10]). Personal use of the term ?neurodiversity? was associated with a lower likelihood of suicidal thoughts (OR?=?0.45 [0.24, 0.83]). These findings contribute to evidence of high rates of suicidal thoughts among young autistic people and associations with self-harm, depression, a history of abuse, and a gender minority identity. Self-identification with the term neurodiversity emerged as a potential protective factor, although this novel finding warrants further research. Overall, this study highlights the importance of access to autism-adapted mental health care, addressing trauma and identity-related stressors, and fostering belonging and connection as part of comprehensive suicide prevention strategies for autistic youth.

Titre : Traumatic Experiences, Psychological Distress and Suicide-Related Behaviors in Autistic Adults Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : T. A. CHIKAURA, Auteur ; E. WEIR, Auteur ; S. GRIFFITHS, Auteur ; T. PROCYSHYN, Auteur ; M. PELTON, Auteur ; C. ALLISON, Auteur ; H. HODGES, Auteur ; S. R. WHITE, Auteur ; T. FORD, Auteur ; S. BARON-COHEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.e70137 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism mental health self-harm substance use suicide attempts suicide plans trauma Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : ABSTRACT Autistic adults have increased risks of trauma, suicide, and poor mental health compared to non-autistic adults, with 1 in 4 autistic adults attempting suicide. We administered an anonymized, self-report survey to 424 autistic and 345 non-autistic adults through a convenience sampling framework. Binomial logistic regression models identified whether trauma and autism diagnosis were related to (i) self-harm, (ii) suicide attempts, (iii) suicide plans, (iv) a mental health condition that impacts daily life, and (v) substance use to cope. Heatmaps were generated to identify traumas that frequently co-occur with psychological distress and SRB. After accounting for trauma and demographic differences, autism remained a significant predictor of all outcomes, except whether individuals used substances to cope (OR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.54?1.12, p?=?0.18). Autistic people were more likely to report self-harm (OR: 2.71, 95% CI: 1.85?4.00, p?0.01), suicide attempts (OR: 2.45, 95% CI: 1.65?3.68, p?0.01), suicide plans (OR: 2.00, 95% CI: 1.41?2.83, p?0.01), and experiencing a mental health condition that impacts daily life (OR: 3.58, 95% CI: 2.42?5.33, p?0.01) than non-autistic people. Among autistic people, childhood victimization co-occurred with a mental health condition that impacts daily life, self-harm, and suicide plans most frequently. This study provides evidence of complex relationships between autism, trauma, self-harm, suicide attempts, suicide plans, and a mental health condition that impacts daily life. Focusing on the prevention of trauma, coping strategies, and recovery from traumatic events through safeguarding and support may be critical tools for suicide prevention among autistic people.
