Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There has been growing interest in offending and contact with the criminal justice system (CJS) by people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, it is not clear whether people with ASD offend more than those without ASD. Studies have started to look at whether there are particular offences people with ASD are more likely to commit and whether there are any factors that can affect whether someone comes into contact with the CJS as a potential suspect. This study looked at the patients who attended an ASD diagnostic service over a 17-year period to see the rate of contact with the CJS of those who were diagnosed with ASD and whether there were any particular factors that might increase the risk of CJS contact. Nearly a quarter of the ASD group had some contact with the CJS as a potential suspect. Factors that seemed to increase whether someone with ASD was more likely to have contact with the CJS were being male, being diagnosed with ADHD, and being diagnosed with psychosis. This study is one of the largest studies to investigate the rate of CJS contact as a potential suspect in a sample of adults with ASD in an attempt to give a clearer picture of what might influence someone with ASD to engage in offending behaviour in order to try to see what mental health services can offer to reduce the likelihood of someone with ASD coming into contact with the CJS, for example, treatment for another condition or support.

The mental health of individuals referred for assessment of autism spectrum disorder in adulthood: A clinic report / Ailsa J RUSSELL in Autism, 20-5 (July 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 20-5 (July 2016) . - p.623-627 Titre : The mental health of individuals referred for assessment of autism spectrum disorder in adulthood: A clinic report Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ailsa J RUSSELL, Auteur ; Clodagh M. MURPHY, Auteur ; Ellie WILSON, Auteur ; Nicola GILLAN, Auteur ; Cordelia BROWN, Auteur ; Dene M ROBERTSON, Auteur ; Michael C. CRAIG, Auteur ; Quinton DEELEY, Auteur ; Janneke ZINKSTOK, Auteur ; Kate JOHNSTON, Auteur ; Grainne M MCALONAN, Auteur ; Deborah SPAIN, Auteur ; Declan GM MURPHY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.623-627 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders  psychiatric co-morbidity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Growing awareness of autism spectrum disorders has increased the demand for diagnostic services in adulthood. High rates of mental health problems have been reported in young people and adults with autism spectrum disorder. However, sampling and methodological issues mean prevalence estimates and conclusions about specificity in psychiatric co-morbidity in autism spectrum disorder remain unclear. A retrospective case review of 859 adults referred for assessment of autism spectrum disorder compares International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision diagnoses in those that met criteria for autism spectrum disorder (n?=?474) with those that did not (n?=?385). Rates of psychiatric diagnosis (>57%) were equivalent across both groups and exceeded general population rates for a number of conditions. The prevalence of anxiety disorders, particularly obsessive compulsive disorder, was significantly higher in adults with autism spectrum disorder than adults without autism spectrum disorder. Limitations of this observational clinic study, which may impact generalisability of the findings, include the lack of standardised structured psychiatric diagnostic assessments by assessors blind to autism spectrum disorder diagnosis and inter-rater reliability. The implications of this study highlight the need for careful consideration of mental health needs in all adults referred for autism spectrum disorder diagnosis.
