Experiences of student and trainee autism researchers during the COVID-19 pandemic / Sowmyashree Mayur KAKU in Autism Research, 15-3 (March 2022)
[article]
Titre : Experiences of student and trainee autism researchers during the COVID-19 pandemic Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sowmyashree Mayur KAKU, Auteur ; Alana J. MCVEY, Auteur ; Alan H. GERBER, Auteur ; Charlotte M. PRETZSCH, Auteur ; Desiree R. JONES, Auteur ; Fathima Muhsina KODAKKADAN, Auteur ; Jiedi LEI, Auteur ; Lauren SINGER, Auteur ; Lucy CHITEHWE, Auteur ; Rebecca Elizabeth POULSEN, Auteur ; Marika COFFMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.413-420 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in significant personal and professional adjustments. Students and trainees, including those in autism research, face unique challenges to accomplishing their training and career goals during this unprecedented time. In this commentary, we, as members of the International Society for Autism Research Student and Trainee Committee, describe our personal experiences, which may or may not align with those of other students and trainees. Our experiences have varied both in terms of the ease (or lack thereof) with which we adapted and the degree to which we were supported in the transition to online research and clinical practice. We faced and continue to adjust to uncertainties about future training and academic positions, for which opportunities have been in decline and have subsequently negatively impacted our mental health. Students and trainees' prospects have been particularly impacted compared to more established researchers and faculty. In addition to the challenges we have faced, however, there have also been unexpected benefits in our training during the pandemic, which we describe here. We have learned new coping strategies which, we believe, have served us well. The overarching goal of this commentary is to describe these experiences and strategies in the hope that they will benefit the autism research community moving forward. Here, we provide a set of recommendations for faculty, especially mentors, to support students and trainees as well as strategies for students and trainees to bolster their self-advocacy, both of which we see as crucial for our future careers. Lay Summary The COVID-19 pandemic has affected students and trainees, including those in autism research, in different ways. Here, we describe our personal experiences. These experiences include challenges. For example, it has been difficult to move from in-person to online work. It has also been difficult to keep up with work and training goals. Moreover, working from home has made it hard to connect with our supervisors and mentors. As a result, many of us have felt unsure about how to make the best career choices. Working in clinical services and getting to know and support our patients online has also been challenging. Overall, the pandemic has made us feel more isolated and some of us have struggled to cope with that. On the other hand, our experiences have also included benefits. For example, by working online, we have been able to join meetings all over the world. Also, the pandemic has pushed us to learn new skills. Those include technical skills but also skills for well-being. Next, we describe our experiences of returning to work. Finally, we give recommendations for trainees and supervisors on how to support each other and to build a strong community.

Titre : Thoughts about sex and gender differences from the next generation of autism scientists Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lauren SINGER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1-3 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : According to the CDC, males are four times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than females. New studies have shown that girls need a higher burden of genetic mutation to be diagnosed with autism than males. These findings are leading researchers to a new avenue of investigation called the female protective effect. This theory holds that even when females carry mutations in autism-linked genes, the effect of the mutations is prevented when the level of genetic disruption is low. Understanding the biology behind this protective effect and studying females independently from males could lead to major advancements in the prevention and treatment of ASD in both males and females.
