Drawing on data from a national survey, this report describes the employment activities and experiences of 130 adults with Asperger’s Disorder (AD) and high functioning autism (HFA) in Australia. Outcome measures include current occupation; occupational skill level and alignment with educational attainment; type of job contract; hours of work; support received to find work; support received in the workplace; and positive and negative experiences of employment. The findings confirm and expand upon existing evidence that adults with AD and HFA, despite their capacity and willingness to work, face significant disadvantages in the labour market and a lack of understanding and support in employment settings.

Interventions used with an Australian sample of preschool children with autism spectrum disorders / Mark CARTER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-3 (July-September 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 5-3 (July-September 2011) . - p.1033-1041 Titre : Interventions used with an Australian sample of preschool children with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mark CARTER, Auteur ; Jacqueline ROBERTS, Auteur ; Katrina WILLIAMS, Auteur ; David EVANS, Auteur ; Trevor R. PARMENTER, Auteur ; Natalie SILOVE, Auteur ; Trevor CLARK, Auteur ; Anthony WARREN, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.1033-1041 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Parents  Survey  Treatment  Education  Complementary and alternative medicine Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined the previous and current range of educational, therapy, medical and CAM interventions used by a clearly described Australian sample of 84 families of preschool-aged children with autism spectrum disorders who were enrolled in a controlled trial of early intervention services. With regard to educational and therapy interventions, the most frequently used services were speech–language pathology, preschool and childcare, generic early intervention, and occupational therapy. With the exception of preschool and childcare, the access frequency for most of these services indicated they were used at relatively low intensity. Exclusion diets, oils/fatty acids and vitamin and mineral supplements were the primary CAM interventions used by families. There was no clear evidence of a relationship between the number of interventions used by families and developmental status although this may have been due to the relatively recent diagnoses. Implications of these findings and directions for future research are discussed.

A randomised controlled trial of two early intervention programs for young children with autism: Centre-based with parent program and home-based / Jacqueline ROBERTS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-4 (October-December 2011)

Outcome measures of interest include social and communication skill development in children, quality of life and stress for parents. Eligible (diagnosed ASD, preschool age) participants were randomised into 2 groups HB (n = 28) and CB (n = 28). A WL (n = 29) comparison group was also recruited. HB and CB groups had 12-month programs. Pre and post assessments were conducted using formal and informal measures. Children in the CB group improved significantly more than HB and WL groups on some social and communication measures. On parent measures outcomes varied with CB group parents making the most gains in perception of competence and quality of life. The small group centre-based program combined with parent program resulted in the best most cost effective outcomes for children and families however this is not an option for all. The CB program did not suit some children and families. The heterogeneity of the autism population indicates that a range of intervention options is necessary to meet the needs of children with autism and their families.
