Comparing the writing skills of autistic and nonautistic university students: A collaboration with autistic university students / Kristen GILLESPIE-LYNCH in Autism, 24-7 (October 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 24-7 (October 2020) . - p.1898-1912 Titre : Comparing the writing skills of autistic and nonautistic university students: A collaboration with autistic university students Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kristen GILLESPIE-LYNCH, Auteur ; Emily HOTEZ, Auteur ; Matthew ZAJIC, Auteur ; Ariana RICCIO, Auteur ; Danielle DENIGRIS, Auteur ; Bella KOFNER, Auteur ; Dennis BUBLITZ, Auteur ; Naomi GAGGI, Auteur ; Kavi LUCA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1898-1912 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : *autism  *autistic  *college  *intelligence  *neurodiversity  *participatory  *university  *writing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We do not know very much about the writing skills of autistic university students. Studies with autistic children and teenagers show that some autistic young people have difficulties writing. Other autistic people are talented writers. In fact, some autistic people would rather write than speak. Good writers often imagine other people's points of view when writing. Autistic people sometimes have difficulties understanding others' points of view. Yet, autistic people often work much harder to understand others' points of view than not-autistic people do. We collaborated with autistic university student researchers to see if autistic university students are better or worse at writing than nonautistic students. Autistic university students in our study were better writers than nonautistic students. Autistic students in our study had higher nonverbal intelligence than nonautistic students. Autistic students also put themselves under more pressure to write perfectly than nonautistic students did. Autistic students did not show any difficulties understanding other minds. This study shows that some autistic university students have stronger writing skills and higher intelligence than nonautistic university students. Yet, autistic students may be too hard on themselves about their writing. Fun activities that help students explore their ideas without pressure (like theater games) may help autistic students be less hard on their writing. Teachers can help autistic students express themselves through writing by encouraging them to write about their interests, by giving them enough time to write, and by letting them write using computers if they want to. This study shows that collaborations with autistic people can help us understand strengths that can help autistic people succeed.

Evidence from the Autism Transitions Research Project (2017-2022): Capstone review and services research recommendations / Anne M. ROUX in Autism Research, 16-3 (March 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 16-3 (March 2023) . - p.480-496 Titre : Evidence from the Autism Transitions Research Project (2017-2022): Capstone review and services research recommendations Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anne M.

ANDERSON, Auteur ; Emily HOTEZ, Auteur ; Kashia ROSENAU, Auteur ; Alice KUO, Auteur ; Evva ASSING-MURRAY, Auteur ; Paul T. SHATTUCK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.480-496 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Few funding sources have explicitly supported systems-wide research to identify mechanisms for improving access, service delivery, outcomes and wellbeing for autistic transition-age youth and young adults. We aimed to integrate findings from research produced through a five-year federal Autism Transition Research Project (ATRP) cooperative agreement. This capstone review sought to: (1) map the body of scientific evidence that emerged from this federal award, and (2) identify remaining evidence gaps to inform future autism transition services research. We used scoping review methods to assess 31 ATRP-funded published scientific studies. We charted study characteristics, topical domains, socio-ecological levels of variables, focus on equity, and inclusion of autistic participants. We evaluated how these topics were addressed across studies to identify continued gaps in the evidence base. Compared to prior published reviews and research agendas, we found improvements in characterization of study participants, broader examination of socio-ecological correlates, and examination of multiple outcome domains. However, we also identified continued deficits in inclusion of autistic study participants, use of multisectoral data, and research with a strong focus on equity. Our recommended priorities for autism transition services research to facilitate healthy life outcomes and wellbeing included: continued analysis of population-level data and improved data infrastructure; development of service delivery methods and interventions that target marginalized groups; expanded research to inform improvements in the performance and coordination of complex service ecosystems that interface with autistic youth; and bolstering the roles of autistic research participants.

Longitudinal change in the use of services in autism spectrum disorder: Understanding the role of child characteristics, family demographics, and parent cognitions / Michael SILLER in Autism, 18-4 (May 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 18-4 (May 2014) . - p.433-446 Titre : Longitudinal change in the use of services in autism spectrum disorder: Understanding the role of child characteristics, family demographics, and parent cognitions Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Michael SILLER, Auteur ; Nuri REYES, Auteur ; Emily HOTEZ, Auteur ; Ted HUTMAN, Auteur ; Marian SIGMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.433-446 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  children  family  interventions  parent  school  services Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The aim of this study was to identify child characteristics, family demographics, and parent cognitions that may affect access to early intervention, special education, and related services. The sample included 70 families of young children with autism spectrum disorders. All parents were enrolled in a short education program, providing them with basic information and resources on advocating for a young child with autism spectrum disorders (Parent Advocacy Coaching). Longitudinal change in children’s intervention program in the community was evaluated over a period of about 27 months, starting 12 months prior to enrollment in Parent Advocacy Coaching. Results revealed large individual differences in the intensity of children’s individual and school-based services. Despite this variability, only two child characteristics (age, gender) emerged as independent predictors. In contrast, the intensity of children’s intervention programs was independently predicted by a broad range of demographic characteristics, including parental education, child ethnicity and race, and family composition. Finally, even after child characteristics and family demographics were statistically controlled, results revealed associations between specific parental cognitions (parenting efficacy, understanding of child development) and the subsequent rate of change in the intensity of children’s intervention programs. Implications for improving educational programs that aim to enhance parent advocacy are discussed.
