Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 131 (March 2026) . - 202798 Titre : Impact of bullying victimization in pathological dissociation among autistic adults Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Tsukasa MURAKAMI, Auteur ; Fumiyo OSHIMA, Auteur ; Takafumi MORIMOTO, Auteur ; Nozomu IKEDA, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202798 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Adulthood  Dissociation  Bullying victimization Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Research indicates that many autistic adults may experience dissociation. However, it has not been investigated whether autistic traits form pathological dissociations or whether environmental factors are important. It is valuable to consider the factors that influence dissociation when considering the support of autistic adults. Therefore, we examined dissociation in autistic adults. Methods We investigated the relationship between dissociation and the experience of bullying victimization and autistic characteristics in autistic adults. We also examined differences in Dissociative Experiences Scale -II (DES-II) scores, which measures dissociation, using a sample of 50 autistic adults and 51 controls with no history of psychiatric consultation. Results Pathological dissociation in autistic adults was not associated with autistic traits but with experiences of bullying victimization. However, three items of the DES–II (items 2, 17, and 27) identified dissociative experiences typical among autistic adults, like autistic traits. Conclusion Although autistic adults may be prone to dissociation, the occurrence of pathological dissociation is mainly influenced by environmental factors. Therefore, this study reaffirms the importance of early intervention from childhood in preventing mental health problems in autistic adults.
