Autonomic dysfunction in autism: The roles of anxiety, depression, and stress / Emily C. TAYLOR in Autism, 25-3 (April 2021)

Therefore, when the ANS functions abnormally, individuals can experience a number of physical symptoms, including dizziness, abnormal sweating and digestive difficulties. Currently, it is unclear if autistic adults experience ANS dysfunction. Therefore, in this study, we investigated whether autistic adults report more ANS-related physical symptoms, indicating greater ANS dysfunction, and whether this may be related to autism, or rather anxiety, depression, or stress. The findings suggest that ANS dysfunction, where found in autism, is due to co-occurring stress and anxiety. We therefore propose that treating stress and anxiety may be an effective way to ameliorate ANS-related health problems in autistic adults.

Understanding the Contributions of Trait Autism and Anxiety to Extreme Demand Avoidance in the Adult General Population / Rhianna WHITE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-7 (July 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 53-7 (July 2023) . - p.2680-2688 Titre : Understanding the Contributions of Trait Autism and Anxiety to Extreme Demand Avoidance in the Adult General Population Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rhianna WHITE, Auteur ; Lucy A. LIVINGSTON, Auteur ; Emily C. TAYLOR, Auteur ; Scarlett A. D. CLOSE, Auteur ; Punit SHAH, Auteur ; Mitchell J. CALLAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2680-2688 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism and anxiety are thought to be related to extreme demand avoidance (EDA), which is characterised by intense avoidance of everyday demands. However, the relative importance of autism and anxiety to EDA has yet to be investigated, and little is known about EDA in adulthood. We conducted two online survey studies (Ns = 267 and 549) with adults in the general population to establish the relative importance of autistic traits and anxiety as predictors of demand avoidance, using dominance analysis. Both autistic traits and anxiety were unique and equally important predictors of demand avoidance. These findings suggest EDA is linked to autism and are consistent with the theory that demand avoidance behaviours are potentially anxiety-driven in adults.
