An Assessment of the Psychometric Properties of the GHQ-12 in an English Population of Autistic Adults Without Learning Difficulties / Emese MAYHEW in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 51-4 (April 2021)
[article]
Titre : An Assessment of the Psychometric Properties of the GHQ-12 in an English Population of Autistic Adults Without Learning Difficulties Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Emese MAYHEW, Auteur ; Lucy STUTTARD, Auteur ; Bryony BERESFORD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1093-1106 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic adults Confirmatory factor analysis General health questionnaire Psychometric properties Rasch analysis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Valid and reliable tools to measure mental health are a key requirement to developing a robust evidence base on mental health difficulties and autism. There are several reasons why mental health measures developed for the neurotypical population may not be valid and reliable when used with autistic adults. Using data collected from a national evaluation of community-based, specialist autism provision in England, this study assessed the psychometric properties of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) in a population of autistic adults without learning difficulties. We examined the measure's acceptability, reliability and internal construct validity. The GHQ-12 was found to have good psychometric properties in this population. This provides first evidence that this measure can be used with autistic adults without LD.

Titre : Evaluating the online delivery of an autistic-led programme to support newly diagnosed or identified autistic adults Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Caroline HEARST, Auteur ; Maria ASHWORTH, Auteur ; Jade DAVIES, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Post-diagnostic support peer group psychoeducation telehealth autistic adults Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background & aimsExploring Being Autistic is an autistic-led group-based programme providing psychoeducation and peer support to newly identified/diagnosed autistic adults. In 2020, due to social distancing measures implemented following the coronavirus pandemic, Exploring Being Autistic was adapted for online delivery. Here, we aimed to replicate previous research into the in-person delivery of Exploring Being Autistic, to determine whether similar results were obtained when the programme was delivered online. Further, we aimed to identify the unique opportunities and challenges that online delivery afforded.MethodsWe used a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach, whereby the autistic developer and facilitator of Exploring Being Autistic worked collaboratively with a team of academic researchers throughout the research process. Together, we evaluated two iterations of the online Exploring Being Autistic programme, involving 16 attendees. Attendees completed questionnaires before, during and after the programme. Attendees were also invited to participate in two post-programme (group or individual) interviews: one following the completion of the programme (time one) and another 6-8 months later (time two). Attendees were included in the research if they completed at least one questionnaire or interview. Data were analysed qualitatively, using reflexive thematic analysis.ResultsExperiences of participating in the programme tended to be positive. Participants appreciated the autistic-led nature of the programme, found unity in the diversity of the group, and developed a positive and practical outlook as a result of the programme. Further analyses of our data revealed mixed views regarding the online delivery of the programme. Opportunities of online delivery were noted, such as this mode of participation reducing cognitive load, enabling the programme to be accessible to more participants, and fostering meaningful social connections among participants. However, technology and practical issues were felt to cause barriers, and some human aspects of participation were felt to be 'lost in translation' (e.g., in breakout groups).ConclusionsThe online delivery of the Exploring Being Autistic programme yielded similar results to previous, in-person evaluations of the programme. While we identified positive aspects of online delivery, this mode did not entirely suit everyone's needs.ImplicationsFrom the current findings, we can make several recommendations to develop online support for autistic people. First, flexibility is key. To make support accessible and inclusive to a broad range of autistic people, the option for attendees to engage in-person, online or in hybrid formats should be considered. Second, if delivering support online, the use of breakout rooms should be carefully considered. While participants appreciated the opportunity to meet different people, some participants found the unpredictability and lack of scaffolding associated with breakout rooms challenging. To mitigate these challenges, groups could be pre-determined and shared with the attendees in advance (although consideration should be given to how the groups 'fit' together, and whether groupings should be changed at set intervals). Gentle warnings should also be given to those in breakout rooms, to alert them of the need to re-join the main group. Finally, support with technological aspects relating to engagement should be prioritised.

SHEA, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102278 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism COVID-19 Community participation Autistic adults Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a continuum of changes in communities that have impacted the lives and health of millions of autistic people. Method To identify community participation changes during COVID-19, we conducted a two-timepoint (2018 and 2022) longitudinal quantitative study involving 116 autistic adults in Pennsylvania to investigate the impact of the pandemic on their community participation. Community participation was measured by the Temple University Community Participation Measure, and the impact of the pandemic was measured by a series of factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., healthcare access, transportation, safety, etc.). Results Results of paired sample t-tests did not show changes in participants' total days of participation over the last 30 days, the total number of activities, or percentages of all activities participants considered important and participated in (i.e., breadth ratio) between the timepoints. However, the percentage of activities that were important to participants and in which they reported engaging as much as they wanted to (i.e., sufficiency ratio) reduced significantly. When examining participation outcomes and COVID-19 impact, we found that multiple participation outcomes (i.e., number of activities, breadth ratio, and sufficiency ratio) were negatively associated with the COVID-19 impact. Conclusion Results suggest that the COVID-19 impacts on autistic adults are variable, with those reporting a more significant impact also reporting a significantly lower level of participation. These findings emphasize the importance of individualized planning to support autistic adults to maintain or regain participation in their preferred activities during the pandemic and beyond.

This study characterized family sexuality communication for autistic adults (age 18-30) without intellectual disability (n?=?117) versus a neurotypical comparison group (n?=?319). Parent-reported number of sexuality topics covered did not significantly differ by gender or autism/comparison group. Parents of autistic adults who covered few or no topics (31%) reported higher religiosity, lower comfort and self-efficacy, and were less likely to say that the adult expressed attraction or desire for relationships. Parents of autistic adults were more likely than comparison parents to perceive their young person as being uninterested or not ready to learn about sexuality topics. These results suggest that families of autistic people require support to convey sexuality-related knowledge and values.

Titre : Gender Differences in the First Impressions of Autistic Adults Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Eilidh CAGE, Auteur ; H. BURTON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1495-1504 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autistic adults first impressions gender differences social evaluation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Prior research has shown that less favourable first impressions are formed of autistic adults by non-autistic observers. Autistic females may present differently to autistic males and could engage in more camouflaging behaviours, which could affect these first impressions. However, research has not yet tested for gender differences in the first impressions of autistic adults. In the current study, non-autistic observers (n = 205) viewed either 10-sec video clips or text transcripts in the context of a mock job interview by 10 autistic females and 10 autistic males, matched to 10 non-autistic females and 10 non-autistic males. They then rated each stimulus on personality traits (e.g., awkwardness) and behavioural intentions (e.g., "I would start a conversation with this person"). Non-autistic observers were blind to diagnostic status of the individuals in either modality. Results showed that first impressions were less favourable overall of autistic adults in the video modality. Furthermore, autistic females were rated more favourably than autistic males in the video modality across most traits-but autistic females were also rated less favourably than both non-autistic females and males. Some judgements were also made in the text modality, whereby more favourable first impressions were made of autistic males on the basis of speech content. Understanding the first impressions that both autistic females and males make has important implications for diagnostic services and employment prospects. Autism Res 2019, 12: 1495-1504. (c) 2019 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: We found that non-autistic people formed more negative first impressions of autistic people, and this was influenced by gender of the person being evaluated. Autistic women were judged more favourably than autistic men; however, both autistic women and men were rated less positively than non-autistic people, with large differences between judgements of autistic females in comparison to non-autistic females. The findings have implications for clinicians and employers who may make rapid judgements based on someone's gender.
