Titre : Barriers to healthcare for Australian autistic adults Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Georgia BRUCE, Auteur ; Janelle WEISE, Auteur ; Caroline J. MILLS, Auteur ; Julian N. TROLLOR, Auteur ; Kristy COXON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.301?315 Mots-clés : access adult autism autistic healthcare Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Barriers to healthcare experienced by Australian autistic adults have not been previously explored. We conducted a cross-sectional investigation of barriers to healthcare and associated factors from a subtle realism perspective. Perceived barriers to healthcare were obtained from the Barriers to Healthcare Checklist Short-Form (BHC). A total of 263 autistic and 70 non-autistic individuals completed the BHC. On average, autistic adults reported more barriers to healthcare (4.58) than non-autistic adults (0.76). Gender diversity, higher levels of generalised anxiety, greater global disability and less satisfaction with social support contributed to the experience of barriers to healthcare in autistic participants in regression modelling. Australian autistic adults face substantial barriers to healthcare. Understanding these barriers provides an opportunity to develop approaches to improve access; such as co-designing a healthcare access roadmap for autistic adults, with co-designed policies and practices which advocate for the needs of autistic adults. Lay abstract This study looked at how Australian autistic and non-autistic adults experience barriers to healthcare. We asked autistic and non-autistic adults to complete the Barriers to Healthcare Checklist Short-Form (BHC). We analysed data from 263 autistic adults and 70 non-autistic adults. We found that autistic adults experienced more barriers to healthcare than non-autistic adults. Gender diversity, feeling more anxious, having greater disability and feeling unsatisfied with social support contributed to barriers to healthcare in autistic participants. We recommend interventions such as developing and implementing a national action plan, similar to the National Roadmap for Improving the Health of People with Intellectual Disability (2021) to reduce barriers and address unmet healthcare needs of Australian autistic adults. We also recommend working with autistic adults to develop new policies and strategies, implementing environmental adaptations to health care facilities, and increasing Autism education opportunities for health professionals to address gaps in knowledge.

Titre : "In Their Own Time": Parents Gently Push Their Autistic Youth Towards Independent Community Mobility and Participation Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Michelle KERSTEN, Auteur ; Kristy COXON, Auteur ; Hoe LEE, Auteur ; Nathan J. WILSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2806-2818 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum Bullying Gender Mental health Social inclusion Transportation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic adults have decreased independence in community mobility and driving, which is associated with decreased participation in work, education and community participation. This is the first exploration of the development of community mobility, driving and participation skills over adolescence and emerging adulthood. Interviews with 15 mothers of autistic youth, capable of independence, were qualitatively analysed using grounded theory. Four major themes emerged: mothers gently pushing, teaching, letting go and working towards hopes and dreams. These results suggest earlier intervention across adolescence to address social skills, communication and anxiety in normative community environments, is required for successful development of community mobility and driving skills. Further understanding the critical role of confidence, feeling safe and accepted, could ultimately improve independence.
