Awareness about autism among school teachers in Oman: A cross-sectional study / Marwan M. AL-SHARBATI in Autism, 19-1 (January 2015)

Little is known about whether such negative views are present among mainstream teachers in Oman. A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate school teachers’ awareness about autism spectrum disorder in an urban region in Oman. A total of 164 teachers were randomly enrolled from five schools. Misconceptions about autism spectrum disorder were found to be common among mainstream teachers in the country. We posit that such lack of awareness was likely to be rooted with sociocultural patterning as well as conflicting views often “spun” by the scientific community and mass media. Enlightened views toward children with autism spectrum disorder should be presented to Omani teachers to overcome misconceptions and negative attitudes toward children with autism spectrum disorder.

Awareness and Knowledge Associated with Autism Spectrum Disorders Among University Students in Zambia / T. CHANSA-KABALI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-9 (September 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 49-9 (September 2019) . - p.3571-3581 Titre : Awareness and Knowledge Associated with Autism Spectrum Disorders Among University Students in Zambia Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : T. CHANSA-KABALI, Auteur ; J. NYONI, Auteur ; H. MWANZA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3571-3581 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Awareness  Knowledge  Zambia Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Experiences with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) in sub-Saharan Africa are characterized with lots of uncertainty, including lack of awareness and knowledge. This study examined ASD awareness and knowledge among 488 University of Zambia undergraduate students using an autism awareness and knowledge survey. Study findings on awareness revealed a high proportion of students-seventy-nine percent (79%) had never heard of ASD before the survey. Significant variation in aspects of ASD knowledge was explained by gender, having children, internet use and school of study. Implications of low levels of ASD awareness and knowledge is a call to invest in ASD awareness campaigns through different platforms in order to promote ASD knowledge that translates into increased ASD understanding for better service provision in Zambia.

Awareness and risk factors of autism spectrum disorder in an Egyptian population / Nagwa ABDEL MEGUID in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 84 (June 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 84 (June 2021) . - 101781 Titre : Awareness and risk factors of autism spectrum disorder in an Egyptian population Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Nagwa ABDEL MEGUID, Auteur ; Neveen Hassan NASHAAT, Auteur ; Amal ELSAEID, Auteur ; Massimiliano PEANA, Auteur ; Ahmed ELNAHRY, Auteur ; Geir BJØRKLUND, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101781 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Awareness  Referral situations  Risk factors Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The aim of the present study was to determine the type and percentage of referral situations, risk factors, associated syndromes, and parental awareness of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children who visited the Medical Research Centre of Excellence, National Research Centre in Cairo, specialized in ASD diagnosis and management. Methods The study included 530 children who were diagnosed with ASD. For those, full medical history, clinical examination, severity evaluation, and testing the language and cognitive development were performed. The process of diagnosis and assessment of parents’ awareness and knowledge about ASD was investigated using questionnaires. Results The clinic was mainly visited by self-referral. About half of the participants (51.4 %) had previously visited other doctors (1–5 physicians) who were mostly pediatricians. The parents’ awareness was mostly limited to the term “autism”, but not the nature of ASD. Caesarean section was the most common risk factor (57.4 %), followed by jaundice (30.1 %). The most common presenting symptoms were language (81.5 %) and social (60.4 %) deficits. ASD severity was found to be high in association with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and electroencephalogram (EEG) changes (p = 0.001). Conclusion The risk factors and associated syndromes in the Egyptian population studied were similar to those reported in previous studies performed in other populations, but their percentage was different. Perinatal problems were the most common risk factors, which may relate to the influence of gene-environmental interaction on the factors which could play a role in developing ASD or increasing its severity. The process of ASD diagnosis was commonly delayed among the participants. Increasing awareness and knowledge among health care professionals and parents is urgently needed to facilitate early diagnosis and intervention services, which will lead to improvement of the developmental outcomes for ASD children. The associated syndromes could be the driving force to seek medical advice and could influence the ASD severity.

Lack of Privileged Access to Awareness for Rewarding Social Scenes in Autism Spectrum Disorder / K. L. H. GRAY in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-10 (October 2018)

The extent to which rewarding social stimuli are granted privileged access to awareness in ASD is currently unknown. We use continuous flash suppression to investigate whether individuals with and without ASD show privileged access to awareness for social over nonsocial rewarding scenes that are closely matched for stimulus features. Strong evidence for a privileged access to awareness for rewarding social over nonsocial scenes was observed in neurotypical adults. No such privileged access was seen in ASD individuals, and moderate support for the null model was noted. These results suggest that the purported deficits in social motivation in ASD may extend to early processing mechanisms.

Metacognitive Awareness of Facial Affect in Higher-Functioning Children and Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Camilla M. MCMAHON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-3 (March 2016)

Confidence significantly predicted accuracy across all participants, but this relation was stronger for participants with typical development than participants with ASD. In the hierarchical linear modeling analysis, there were no differences in face processing accuracy between participants with and without ASD, but participants with ASD were more confident in their decisions. These results suggest that individuals with ASD have metacognitive impairments and are overconfident in face processing. Additionally, greater metacognitive awareness was predictive of better face processing accuracy, suggesting that metacognition may be a pivotal skill to teach in interventions.
