Overview and Preliminary Evidence for a Social Skills and Self-Care Curriculum for Adolescent Females with Autism: The Girls Night Out Model / T. Rene JAMISON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-1 (January 2017)
[article]
Titre : Overview and Preliminary Evidence for a Social Skills and Self-Care Curriculum for Adolescent Females with Autism: The Girls Night Out Model Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : T. Rene JAMISON, Auteur ; Jessica Oeth SCHUTTLER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.110-125 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder Females with autism Intervention Social skills Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A majority of social skills research in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and interventions target school age males and no published studies target adolescent females with ASD or related disabilities. Females with ASD are at risk for internalizing symptoms, and experience greater challenges in socialization and communication as social demands become increasingly complex in adolescence. This paper provides a thorough description of a social skills and self-care program designed to address the specific needs of adolescent females with ASD. The approach is peer mediated and occurs within natural or community settings to facilitate generalization. Findings from program evaluation data collected across 4 years illustrate significant improvements in perceived social competence, self-perception, and quality of life and suggests the approach is feasible and social valid.

Titre : Executive functioning in men and women with an autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Michelle KIEP, Auteur ; Annelies A. SPEK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.940-948 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism executive functioning gender differences females with autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Executive functioning (EF) is thought to be linked to autism spectrum disorders (ASD) specific symptoms. The majority of research has focused on children and adolescents with ASD and, therefore, little is known about EF in adults. Furthermore, little is known about gender differences. Ninety-nine men and forty women with ASD were compared with and 35 neurotypical men 25 neurotypical women. Participants were matched on age, total intelligence, and verbal ability. The following instruments were used to measure executive functioning: digit span and letter and number sequencing of the WAIS-III, Tower of Hanoi, WCST, and Verbal fluency. Multiple analysis of variance was conducted to determine group differences. Women with ASD performed worse on the working memory tasks of the WAIS-III than neurotypical women. Furthermore, women with ASD had more perseverations on the WCST than neurotypical women. The gender comparison in the ASD group showed differences in performance on mental flexibility (WCST), working memory (WAIS-III), generativity and self-monitoring (Verbal fluency). However, these differences were unequivocal and no gender specific cognitive profile could be pinpointed. Individual strengths and frailties should be highlighted in clinical practice, as impairments in EF can be under influence of the overall cognitive abilities of the individual. Furthermore, gender differences were found. This could explain differences in representation of ASD symptoms in both groups. These differences show how important thorough diagnostics are.

Titre : An investigation of the 'female camouflage effect' in autism using a computerized ADOS-2 and a test of sex/gender differences Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : A. RYNKIEWICZ, Auteur ; B. SCHULLER, Auteur ; E. MARCHI, Auteur ; S. PIANA, Auteur ; A. CAMURRI, Auteur ; A. LASSALLE, Auteur ; Simon BARON-COHEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : 10p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asperger Syndrome/diagnosis/psychology Autistic Disorder/diagnosis/psychology Child Child, Preschool Communication Disorders/diagnosis/etiology Culture Diagnosis, Computer-Assisted/methods Diagnostic Errors Emotions Facial Expression Female Fixation, Ocular Gestures Humans Male Parents Poland Psychomotor Performance Severity of Illness Index Sex Characteristics Sex Factors Social Behavior Software Stereotyped Behavior Surveys and Questionnaires Ados-2 Computer application Diagnosis Females with autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum conditions (autism) are diagnosed more frequently in boys than in girls. Females with autism may have been under-identified due to not only a male-biased understanding of autism but also females' camouflaging. The study describes a new technique that allows automated coding of non-verbal mode of communication (gestures) and offers the possibility of objective, evaluation of gestures, independent of human judgment. The EyesWeb software platform and the Kinect sensor during two demonstration activities of ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition) were used. METHODS: The study group consisted of 33 high-functioning Polish girls and boys with formal diagnosis of autism or Asperger syndrome aged 5-10, with fluent speech, IQ average and above and their parents (girls with autism, n = 16; boys with autism, n = 17). All children were assessed during two demonstration activities of Module 3 of ADOS-2, administered in Polish, and coded using Polish codes. Children were also assessed with Polish versions of the Eyes and Faces Tests. Parents provided information on the author-reviewed Polish research translation of SCQ (Social Communication Questionnaire, Current and Lifetime) and Polish version of AQ Child (Autism Spectrum Quotient, Child). RESULTS: Girls with autism tended to use gestures more vividly as compared to boys with autism during two demonstration activities of ADOS-2. Girls with autism made significantly more mistakes than boys with autism on the Faces Test. All children with autism had high scores in AQ Child, which confirmed the presence of autistic traits in this group. The current communication skills of boys with autism reported by parents in SCQ were significantly better than those of girls with autism. However, both girls with autism and boys with autism improved in the social and communication abilities over the lifetime. The number of stereotypic behaviours in boys significantly decreased over life whereas it remained at a comparable level in girls with autism. CONCLUSIONS: High-functioning females with autism might present better on non-verbal (gestures) mode of communication than boys with autism. It may camouflage other diagnostic features. It poses risk of under-diagnosis or not receiving the appropriate diagnosis for this population. Further research is required to examine this phenomenon so appropriate gender revisions to the diagnostic assessments might be implemented.
