CREHAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3473-3488 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although students with diverse cultural backgrounds need sexuality and relationship education (SRE), the perspectives of those from different cultural groups with neurodevelopmental conditions are often under-investigated. The autistic population, in particular, may have communication and sensory preferences that can be unsupported by the current SRE for non-autistic people, and the cultural relatedness of the SRE they received are often unrecognized. To better understand autistic individuals’ insights, nine autistic young adults from different cultural groups between 20 and 35 years old (four cis-males, two cis-females, three non-binaries) were interviewed to learn about their previous experiences and future expectations in sexuality and relationship education. Results of the inductive (i.e., bottom-up) thematic analyses indicated a low consideration of cultural aspects in their SRE experiences reported by autistic adults. The results highlighted the need for a diverse, consistent, and tailored SRE for the autistic population, with more efforts made from the education system to promote cultural adaptations of SRE. Suggestions are provided for the education systems, professionals, parents, and researchers to develop more tailored SRE for the autistic population.

Measurement Invariance of the PROMIS Family Relationships Scale Among Autistic and General Population Adolescents / Rachel M. BENECKE in Autism Research, 19-2 (February 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 19-2 (February 2026) . - e70161 Titre : Measurement Invariance of the PROMIS Family Relationships Scale Among Autistic and General Population Adolescents Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rachel M. BENECKE, Auteur ; Zachary J. WILLIAMS, Auteur ; Laura Graham HOLMES, Auteur ; Judith S. MILLER, Auteur ; Elizabeth A. KAPLAN-KAHN, Auteur Article en page(s) : e70161 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescence  autism  family relationships  measurement invariance  patient-reported outcome measures  PROMIS Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : ABSTRACT Social relationships are a key component of quality of life, a high-priority outcome for autistic people, and family relationships are critical in adolescence. The PROMIS Family Relationships scale has been well validated for use with the general population, but psychometric validation in the autistic population is lacking. This study investigated measurement invariance of the PROMIS Family Relationships among autistic and general population adolescents. The scale demonstrated scalar invariance between the groups, providing evidence that it measures the same construct equivalently and scores can be meaningfully compared between groups. With a well-validated self-report measure, researchers can ask autistic teens directly about their experiences of their family relationships, rather than relying solely on parent proxy report.
