Titre : The Efficacy of Disability Employment Service (DES) Providers Working with Autistic Clients Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rebecca L. FLOWER, Auteur ; Kathleen E. DENNEY, Auteur ; Simon BURY, Auteur ; Amanda L. RICHDALE, Auteur ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE, Auteur ; Darren HEDLEY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4641-4654 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The efficacy of the Australian Disability Employment Services (DES) for autistic jobseekers has not been examined and is currently undergoing Government reform. To help inform the new DES strategy, we sought the views of: 24 autistic individuals; seven family members of autistic individuals, and; 46 DES employees. Data were collected using surveys and interviews. Data were analysed using Mann Whitney tests plus deductive thematic analysis based on Nicholas and colleagues' ecosystems model. Participants highlighted a need to adapt existing policies to enhance flexibility of the DES model. There was participant consensus that DES staff require specific education and training to meet the needs of autistic people. Suggestions to inform the new model of DES for autistic people are made.

Titre : The Experience of Anxiety in Young Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : David TREMBATH, Auteur ; Carmela GERMANO, Auteur ; Graeme JOHANSON, Auteur ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.213-224 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders anxiety qualitative coping Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Anxiety is known to be common among young adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), yet little is known about the nature of their experiences or the strategies they use to live and cope with their reported anxiety. In this qualitative study, we began to address this issue through two focus groups involving 11 young adults with ASD, and 10 parents and professionals. Participants in each group were asked to discuss the triggers for anxiety, the consequences of anxiety, and strategies they have used, would like to use, or have seen individuals with ASD use to manage their anxiety. The participants identified multiple personal and environmental sources of anxiety, noting the substantial impact they have on their everyday lives at home, work, university, and in the community. Their individual experiences and strategies for living and coping with anxiety are presented.

Titre : The Role of Negative Affectivity in Concurrent Relations Between Caregiver Psychological Distress and Social-Emotional Difficulties in Infants With Early Signs of Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lacey CHETCUTI, Auteur ; Mirko ULJAREVIC, Auteur ; Kandice J. VARCIN, Auteur ; Maryam BOUTRUS, Auteur ; Ming Wai WAN, Auteur ; Vicky SLONIMS, Auteur ; Jonathan GREEN, Auteur ; Leonie SEGAL, Auteur ; Teresa IACONO, Auteur ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE, Auteur ; Andrew J. O. WHITEHOUSE, Auteur ; Kristelle HUDRY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1349-1357 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder caregivers infant social-emotional difficulties temperament Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Recent evidence suggests the link between caregiver psychological distress and offspring social-emotional difficulties may be accounted for by offspring temperament characteristics. However, existing studies have only focused on neurotypical children; thus, the current study sought to provide an initial examination of this process among children with varying levels of early autism features. Participants included 103 infants aged 9-16?months (M = 12.39, SD = 1.97; 68% male) and their primary caregiver (96% mothers) referred to a larger study by community healthcare professionals. We utilized caregiver-reported measures of psychological distress (Depression Anxiety Stress Scales), infant temperament (Infant Behavior Questionnaire-Revised) and internalizing and externalizing symptoms (Infant-Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment) and administered the Autism Observation Schedule for Infants (AOSI) at an assessment visit to quantify autism features. Infant negative affectivity was found to mediate positive concurrent relations between caregiver psychological distress and infant internalizing and externalizing symptoms, irrespective of the infants' AOSI score. While preliminary and cross-sectional, these results replicate and extend previous findings suggesting that the pathway from caregiver psychological distress to negative affectivity to social-emotional difficulties might also be apparent among infants with varying levels of autism features. More rigorous tests of causal effects await future longitudinal investigation. LAY SUMMARY: Offspring of caregivers experiencing psychological distress (i.e., symptoms of depression, anxiety, and/or stress) may themselves be at increased risk of poor mental health outcomes. Several previous studies conducted with neurotypical children suggest that this link from caregiver-to-child may be facilitated by children's temperament qualities. This study was a preliminary cross-sectional exploration of these relationships in infants with features of autism. We found that infants' elevated negative emotions were involved in the relation between caregiver heightened psychological distress and children's mental health difficulties, consistent with neurotypical development.

Titre : The Suicidal Ideation Attributes Scale-Modified (SIDAS-M): Development and preliminary validation of a new scale for the measurement of suicidal ideation in autistic adults Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Darren HEDLEY, Auteur ; Philip J BATTERHAM, Auteur ; Simon M BURY, Auteur ; Angela CLAPPERTON, Auteur ; Kathleen DENNEY, Auteur ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE, Auteur ; Phoenix FOX, Auteur ; Thomas W FRAZIER, Auteur ; Emma GALLAGHER, Auteur ; Susan M HAYWARD, Auteur ; Jo ROBINSON, Auteur ; Ensu SAHIN, Auteur ; Julian TROLLOR, Auteur ; Mirko ULJAREVI?, Auteur ; Mark A STOKES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1115-1131 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults,assessment,autism spectrum disorder,measurement,risk,screening,suicidal behavior,suicidal ideation,suicide Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The study describes the development and preliminary psychometric validation of the Suicidal Ideation Attributes Scale-Modified (SIDAS-M), a five-item assessment of suicidal ideation for use with autistic adults. Participants (n=102 autistic adults; 58% women, 34% men, 8% nonbinary; Mage=41.75, SD=12.89) completed an online survey including the SIDAS-M at Time 1 and participated in follow-up interviews at Time 2 (~111?days later). A single factor solution provided good to excellent fit to the data (comparative fit index=0.961, Tucker-Lewis index=0.921; standardized root mean square residual=0.027), with all items showing good to excellent loadings (0.74-0.91). SIDAS-M total score (?=.930, bias-corrected and accelerated 95% confidence interval (BCa 95% CI) [.90, .95]) demonstrated good convergent validity, correlating significantly with existing suicide specific (?=.442-.698, p<.001) and well-being measures (?=.325.-.505, p?.001), and good divergent validity. Logistic regression controlling for age, gender, and relationship status indicated that SIDAS-M scores at Time 1 significantly predicted suicidal behavior at Time 2, ?=0.462, p0.001, [0.032, 0.068]. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated SIDAS-M has utility discriminating between participants classified at low or above low risk, area under the curve=0.866, [0.767, 0.966], p0.001, with a cutoff score ?1 providing a potentially useful indicator of increased suicidal risk. Overall, SIDAS-M demonstrated good psychometric properties when used with autistic adults without intellectual disability.Lay AbstractAutistic people may be at higher risk of suicidal behavior than people in the general population. Suicidal behavior may include thinking about suicide or attempting to end one?s own life by suicide. It is important to identify autistic people who may be thinking about suicide. People who are at risk of suicidal behavior can be identified by asking questions about whether they have been thinking about suicide. A specially designed questionnaire, or screening instrument, can help someone ask the best questions to find out if someone has been thinking about suicide. This information can help to identify supports to be put in place to prevent suicidal behavior, such as a suicide attempt. However, autistic people may interpret questions differently than non-autistic people. It is important to use screening tools that have been designed with, and for autistic people. In this study, we examined the Suicidal Ideation Attributes Scale (SIDAS). The SIDAS is an existing tool that was developed to screen for suicidal thinking in the general population. We modified SIDAS for use with autistic adults. We involved autistic people in the process of modifying SIDAS. We called the modified instrument the SIDAS-M. The results of our study showed SIDAS-M may be useful for screening for suicidal thinking in autistic adults who do not have an intellectual disability.

This study involved focus groups with adults with autism spectrum disorder ( n = 9) participating in a 3-year employment and training programme, as well as focus groups with family members ( n = 6), support staff ( n = 7) and co-workers ( n = 6). The aim was to gain better understanding of the experience of transition to work, barriers and also the factors that promote workplace success. Main themes included factors that facilitated success at work ( Enablers), barriers to success ( Challenges) and programme outcomes ( Outcomes). Organisation support, advice from co-workers, supportive leadership, allowance of environmental modifications and presence of a consultant were identified as enablers that most facilitated success at work. Challenges included task-related difficulties, individual factors, social difficulties and distractibility, not managing work-related stress, and being perceived to be too frank. Outcomes were rated as positive and encompassed work-related outcomes, as well as outcomes related to sense of purpose, achieving personal independence and improvements in social relationships, both with work colleagues and within families.
