Autistic characteristics and mental health symptoms in autistic youth during the first COVID-19 wave in Canada / Kailyn M. TURNER in Autism Research, 16-5 (May 2023)
[article]
Titre : Autistic characteristics and mental health symptoms in autistic youth during the first COVID-19 wave in Canada Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kailyn M. TURNER, Auteur ; Jonathan A. WEISS, Auteur ; Stephanie J. HOWE, Auteur ; Hangsel SANGUINO, Auteur ; Connor M. KERNS, Auteur ; Megan E. AMES, Auteur ; Carly A. MCMORRIS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1009-1023 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Autistic youth are at heightened risk for mental health issues, and pandemic-related stressors may exacerbate this risk. This study (1) described caregiver-reported youth mental health prior to and during the pandemic; and (2) explored individual, caregiver, and environmental factors associated with changes in autistic characteristics, social-emotional symptoms, and overall mental health. 582 caregivers of autistic children (2-18?years old) completed an online survey between June and July 2020 in which they provided demographic information, their child's pre-COVID and current mental health, autistic characteristics, and social-emotional symptoms. Caregivers also rated their own perceived stress, and COVID-related household and service disruption. According to caregivers, youth experienced more autistic characteristics and social-emotional concerns during the pandemic. Autistic youth were also reported to experience poorer overall mental health during the pandemic than before the pandemic. Older youth whose caregiver's indicated higher perceived stress and greater household disruption were reported to experience more autistic traits during pandemic. Caregiver-reported increases in youth social-emotional symptoms (i.e., behavior problems, anxiety, and low mood) was associated with being older, the presence of a pre-existing mental health condition, higher caregiver stress, and greater household and service disruption. Finally, experiencing less household financial hardship prior to COVID-19, absence of a pre-existing psychiatric condition, less caregiver stress, and less service disruption were associated with better youth pandemic mental health. Strategies to support the autistic community during and following the pandemic need to be developed. The developmental-ecological factors identified in this study could help target support strategies to those autistic youth who are most vulnerable to mental health problems.

This study characterized caregiver stress, anxiety, and resilient coping during COVID-19 and investigated the impact of COVID-19 disruptions, demographic variables, and resilient coping on mental health. The majority of caregivers reported some degree of disruption associated with COVID-19, and more than half reported moderate levels of stress and high anxiety. Resilient coping did not emerge as a moderator between COVID-19 disruptions and caregiver mental health, but instead had a direct effect on outcomes. Future research is needed to understand additional factors impacting the mental health of caregivers of autistic people during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite this, it is unknown what tools are used to assess suicide risk in research and clinical practice among children and youth with autism. This systematic review examined tools commonly used to measure suicidality in children and youth with and without autism spectrum disorder. Four databases were searched. We identified five tools (C-SSRS, PSS, SITBI, SIQ-JR, BSS) commonly used with youth in the general population; however, we did not identify any tools that were commonly used autistic children and youth. Results highlight the lack of available tools utilized to measure suicidality in autistic children and youth. We propose a framework to facilitate research to fill this gap.

[article]
Titre : Understanding camouflaging and identity in autistic children and adolescents using photo-elicitation Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Stephanie J. HOWE, Auteur ; Laura HULL, Auteur ; Felicity SEDGEWICK, Auteur ; Benjamin HANNON, Auteur ; Carly A. MCMORRIS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102232 Mots-clés : Autism Children Adolescents Camouflaging Masking Photo-elicitation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Purpose Camouflaging, or the use of strategies by autistic people to minimize the visibility of their autistic traits in social situations, is associated with stress, autistic burnout, depression, and suicidality among autistic adults. However, little is known about how autistic children and adolescents experience camouflaging, limiting our understanding of its onset and development. The present study filled this knowledge gap by examining camouflaging behaviour among autistic children and adolescents using a photo-elicitation approach. Methods Eight autistic children and adolescents aged 10-14 years (M = 11.88, SD = 1.89) attended an orientation session and were given two to three weeks to take photographs on the topic of camouflaging. Individual interviews were conducted with each participant about their photos. Inductive thematic analysis and an interpretive engagement framework were used to identify major themes within participant interviews and images. Results Qualitative analysis identified 12 themes reflecting motivations to camouflage (as a response to negative social experiences, as a learned habit), contexts of camouflaging (e.g., the audience), strategies and behaviours used to camouflage (suppressing autistic stimming behaviour, hiding the self), and perceived consequences of camouflaging (internal conflict, stress, needing time to recharge). Conclusion Results highlight that autistic children and adolescents as young as 10 years old engage in camouflaging behaviour which can be pervasive and automatic, and that this can be a stressful, confusing, and energetically draining experience. Better understanding of the development and experience of camouflaging in childhood can inform prevention of mental health concerns in adulthood.
