Autism identity in young adults and the relationships with participation, quality of life, and well-being / Dovrat SAGIE ; Efrat SELANIKYO ; Sonya MEYER ; Eynat GAL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 111 (March 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 111 (March 2024) . - p.102311 Titre : Autism identity in young adults and the relationships with participation, quality of life, and well-being Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Dovrat SAGIE, Auteur ; Efrat SELANIKYO, Auteur ; Sonya MEYER, Auteur ; Eynat GAL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102311 Mots-clés : Autism  Identity  Young adults  Quality of life  Well-being Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autism presents self-identity challenges across the lifespan. Like ?illness identity,? the degree to which a person integrates chronic illness into their self-identity, autism identity entails unique issues following diagnosis. Accepting the diagnosis allows better coping with its challenges and psychological, social, and physical functioning. However, knowledge of autism identity?s relationship with social participation in environments such as home, school, and community, quality of life (QoL), and personal well-being is limited. This study aimed to present an autism-identity profile of young adults and assess those relationships. Method This cross-sectional study included 42 autistic adults (18 25 years; M = 19.62, SD = 1.1) recruited from a postsecondary training program. All completed an Illness Identity Questionnaire adapted for autism, Child and Adolescent Scale of Participation, QoL Questionnaire, and Personal Well-Being Index. We calculated autism-identity profiles using descriptive statistics and examined relationships between self-reported autism-identity perceptions and participation, QoL, and well-being using Pearson s correlations and stepwise linear regressions. Results The participants reported significantly higher positive than negative autism-identity feelings, t(41) = 6.17, p < .001, d = .95. Higher positive autism-identity perception significantly correlated with higher reported participation (r = .44, p < .01) and QoL (r = .36, p < .05). Higher engulfment feelings (i.e., feeling that autism overwhelms the individual?s identity) significantly predicted lower social participation and well-being. Conclusions Although natural development and social and educational environments affect identity and self-perception, caregivers, educators, and support services should help autistic young adults adopt more positive and reduce negative feelings about their autism.

Bullying and Identity Development: Insights from Autistic and Non-autistic College Students / Danielle DENIGRIS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-3 (March 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 48-3 (March 2018) . - p.666-678 Titre : Bullying and Identity Development: Insights from Autistic and Non-autistic College Students Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Danielle DENIGRIS, Auteur ; Patricia J.

We compared interpretations of bullying provided by 22 autistic and 15 non-autistic college students. Autistic (and non-autistic) students reported less severe bullying in college relative to earlier in development. Chronic bullying was associated with improvements in self-descriptions and self-acceptance. Autistic students who were chronically bullied were more likely to self-identify as autistic when asked to explain their disability. Autistic and non-autistic students demonstrated similar levels of cognitive empathy, providing no evidence that a "double empathy problem" contributes to bullying for all autistic individuals. Findings suggest that recovery from bullying can contribute to resilience and that autistic people gain insights about bullying and how to overcome it with development.

Camouflaging and identity development among autistic female and gender-diverse youth: A qualitative exploration / Daniel J MAGIN ; Melissa L. RINALDI ; Kristin V. CHRISTODULU in Autism, 29-10 (October 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 29-10 (October 2025) . - p.2535-2549 Titre : Camouflaging and identity development among autistic female and gender-diverse youth: A qualitative exploration Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Daniel J MAGIN, Auteur ; Melissa L. RINALDI, Auteur ; Kristin V. CHRISTODULU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2535-2549 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescents  autism spectrum disorders  camouflaging  females  gender diverse  identity  qualitative research Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Adolescence is a vulnerable developmental period for autistic youth. Autistic adolescents often use camouflaging to combat social challenges, perceived differences, and stigmatization. Although adolescence is an integral period for identity development, integration of these topics remains understudied in current literature. Evidence of elevated camouflaging rates among autistic females and gender-diverse adults underscores the need to examine the developmental trajectory of these topics. The present study qualitatively explored first-person perspectives on camouflaging and identity formation among autistic female and gender-diverse youth. Ten autistic adolescents (female: n = 7; gender diverse: n = 3) and their caregivers were enrolled in the present study. Youths completed a semi-structured interview or focus group discussion. Data were qualitatively analyzed and produced several prominent themes in three domains of investigation: (1) the nuts and bolts of camouflaging, (2) the aftermath of camouflaging, and (3) understanding being autistic. Identified themes and subthemes are discussed. Results demonstrated that autistic youth employ complex camouflaging strategies, motivated and reinforced by their experiences within society, that hold damaging consequences for their self-understanding and well-being. These findings reinforce the harmful implications of camouflaging on youths' positive identity development, mental health, and well-being. Implications and future directions are discussed.Lay Abstract Adolescence is a challenging time for autistic youth. Many autistic adolescents change their behavior in social situations to adapt or cope with social challenges, feeling different, and/or stigma. We conducted in-depth discussions with autistic adolescents who identify as female or gender-diverse to understand how changing their behavior in social situations impacts their identity, or self-understanding. Ten autistic adolescents and their caregivers were included in the study. Discussions were analyzed to understand how and why youths change their social behavior and the impact it has on their self-understanding. Participants described using many complex strategies to change their social behavior that are influenced by negative views our society has about people?s differences. The strategies often harmed participants' self-understanding and negatively affected their overall well-being. The results are important for understanding how to support autistic adolescents' self-understanding, mental health, and well-being.

'Coming Out' with Autism: Identity in People with an Asperger's Diagnosis After DSM-5 / Olivia SMITH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-2 (February 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-2 (February 2020) . - p.592-602 Titre : 'Coming Out' with Autism: Identity in People with an Asperger's Diagnosis After DSM-5 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Olivia SMITH, Auteur ; Sandra C. JONES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.592-602 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asperger's  Dsm-5  Diagnostic category  Identity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Asperger's Syndrome was introduced as a separate diagnostic category in the DSM-4 (1994). Its subsequent absorption into autism spectrum disorder in the DSM-5 (2013) led to vigorous debate and concerns about the loss of the unique Asperger's identity. Existing research has identified that adults previously diagnosed with Asperger's have expressed a diverse range of opinions regarding the DSM-5 changes. This Australian study explored the role of disability identity development in responses to the change through semi-structured interviews with 12 adults diagnosed with Asperger's under the DSM-4. Their different views did not appear to be a function of demographic variables; a connection was identified between participants' views of the change and differing stages of integration with the Asperger's and/or autism identities.

Coping, (mal)adaptive personality and identity in young adults: A network analysis / Sarah S.W. DE PAUW ; Peter PRINZIE in Development and Psychopathology, 36-2 (May 2024)

Yet, findings regarding how these constructs relate to each other have been inconsistent. The present study employs network analysis to investigate coping, adaptive and maladaptive personality, and identity and how they are related, using data from the Flemish Study on Parenting, Personality, and Development (FSPPD; Prinzie et al., 2003; 1999-current). Young adults (N = 457; 47% male), aged between 17-23 years old, completed a survey on coping, adaptive and maladaptive personality, and identity. Results indicate clear associations between coping and both adaptive and maladaptive personality within the network, suggesting coping and personality are distinct, yet highly related constructs whereas identity proved largely unrelated. Potential implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.
