Loneliness, friendship, and well-being in adults with autism spectrum disorders / Micah O. MAZUREK in Autism, 18-3 (April 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 18-3 (April 2014) . - p.223-232 Titre : Loneliness, friendship, and well-being in adults with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Micah O. MAZUREK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.223-232 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults  anxiety  autism spectrum disorders  depression  friendship  loneliness Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined the relations among loneliness, friendship, and emotional functioning in adults (N = 108) with autism spectrum disorders. Participants completed self-report measures of symptoms of autism spectrum disorders, loneliness, number and nature of friendships, depression, anxiety, life satisfaction, and self-esteem. The results indicated that loneliness was associated with increased depression and anxiety and decreased life satisfaction and self-esteem, even after controlling for symptoms of autism spectrum disorders. In addition, greater quantity and quality of friendships were associated with decreased loneliness among adults with autism spectrum disorders. Multivariate models indicated that friendship did not moderate the relationship between loneliness and well-being; however, number of friends provided unique independent effects in predicting self-esteem, depression, and anxiety above and beyond the effects of loneliness. This was the first study to examine the relations among these aspects of social and emotional functioning in adults with autism spectrum disorders, and the results indicate that this topic warrants further clinical and research attention.

Loneliness in autistic adults: A systematic review / Kana UMAGAMI in Autism, 26-8 (November 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 26-8 (November 2022) . - p.2117-2135 Titre : Loneliness in autistic adults: A systematic review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kana UMAGAMI, Auteur ; Anna REMINGTON, Auteur ; Brynmor LLOYD-EVANS, Auteur ; Jade DAVIES, Auteur ; Laura CRANE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2117-2135 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adult  Child  Humans  Adolescent  Loneliness  Autistic Disorder/complications  Autism Spectrum Disorder/complications  Anxiety  Surveys and Questionnaires  adults  autism  relationships  systematic review Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Recently, researchers have been interested in how autistic people experience loneliness. Yet, most of this research has focused on loneliness in autistic children and young people. We present the results of a systematic review on loneliness in autistic adults. A systematic review is a rigorous way of searching for all existing research on a topic and summarizing the findings about specific questions. We searched for all research published on this topic until 9 April 2021. We found 34 articles that investigated loneliness in autistic adults. This research showed that (1) there is fairly little research that has involved directly asking autistic adults about their first-hand experiences of loneliness (e.g. what loneliness feels like for them); (2) few research studies have used loneliness questionnaires specifically developed for autistic adults (this was attempted in just one research study); (3) collective loneliness (i.e. loneliness associated with how much an autistic person feels they 'fit in' to society) seems important to autistic adults but has not been investigated as commonly as other aspects of loneliness (e.g. loneliness associated with romantic relationships or friendships); (4) things that might increase loneliness in autistic adults include anxiety and depression, and a lack of autism understanding and acceptance, for example; and (5) things that might reduce loneliness in autistic adults include having relationships and self-acceptance, for example. In our article, we discuss the kinds of future research on loneliness in autistic adults that might be useful.

Feelings of Loneliness and Social Dissatisfaction in Siblings of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: The Role of Birth Order and Perceived Social Support / Evangelia KOUKOURIKI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-11 (November 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 52-11 (November 2022) . - p.4722-4738 Titre : Feelings of Loneliness and Social Dissatisfaction in Siblings of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: The Role of Birth Order and Perceived Social Support Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Evangelia KOUKOURIKI, Auteur ; Evangelini ATHANASOPOULOU, Auteur ; Elias ANDREOULAKIS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4722-4738 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent  Autism Spectrum Disorder/psychology  Birth Order  Child  Humans  Loneliness  Siblings/psychology  Social Support  Autism spectrum disorders  Perceived social support  Siblings  Social dissatisfaction Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Loneliness has been associated with several adverse psychosocial outcomes in childhood and adolescence. The present study aimed to investigate feelings of loneliness and social dissatisfaction in school-aged typically-developing (TD) siblings of children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). For this purpose, 118 siblings of children with ASD and 115 siblings of TD children and one of their parents participated in this study. Siblings of ASD-children reported higher levels of loneliness and social dissatisfaction than the controls. The hierarchical multiple regressions performed revealed that those feelings were inversely associated with being the first-born and with specific aspects of social support as perceived by the parent. The younger siblings of ASD-children seem to be in need of certain interventions beyond social support.

Continuity and change in loneliness and stress during the COVID-19 pandemic: A longitudinal study of autistic and non-autistic adults / Anke M. SCHEEREN in Autism Research, 15-9 (September 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 15-9 (September 2022) . - p.1621-1635 Titre : Continuity and change in loneliness and stress during the COVID-19 pandemic: A longitudinal study of autistic and non-autistic adults Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anke M. SCHEEREN, Auteur ; Patricia HOWLIN, Auteur ; Liz PELLICANO, Auteur ; Iliana MAGIATI, Auteur ; Sander BEGEER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1621-1635 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adult  Autism Spectrum Disorder  Autistic Disorder/epidemiology  COVID-19/epidemiology  Communicable Disease Control  Humans  Loneliness/psychology  Longitudinal Studies  Pandemics  Covid-19  adults  autism  loneliness  stress  wellbeing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Previous studies have suggested that autistic adults may be negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated restrictions. In this study, we examined continuity and change in loneliness and stress, and their predictors, in 448 autistic and 70 non-autistic adults living in the Netherlands. Autistic participants were assessed on three occasions using the de Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale and Perceived Stress Scale (pre-lockdown (T0), first lockdown (T1), and second lockdown (T2)); non-autistic participants were assessed twice (T1 and T2). Autistic adults' loneliness and stress levels remained stable across all three time points over 8months, but were consistently higher than those of non-autistic adults. Other predictors of higher loneliness and stress levels at the first lockdown (T1) included low perceived social support and high levels of COVID-19 related worries. Although loneliness and stress were stable at the group level, the wellbeing of some autistic adults worsened over the course of the pandemic, while others improved. For instance, adults with a mental health diagnosis (other than autism) prior to the pandemic were more likely to increase in stress over time, whereas adults with higher perceived social support were more likely to decrease in stress over time (from T1 to T2). Factors contributing to variability in outcome require further examination. Moreover, the relatively high loneliness and stress levels in autistic adults call for attention from clinicians and service providers. LAY SUMMARY: In our study, autistic adults reported feeling more lonely and stressed than non-autistic adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. People who missed support from their social network also felt more lonely and stressed. On average, people did not change substantially in their degree of loneliness or stress over time. Yet, we noted large person-to-person differences in the wellbeing of autistic adults during the pandemic.

Longitudinal trajectories of mental health and loneliness for Australian adolescents with-or-without neurodevelopmental disorders: the impact of COVID-19 school lockdowns / Stephen HOUGHTON in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 63-11 (November 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 63-11 (November 2022) . - p.1332-1343 Titre : Longitudinal trajectories of mental health and loneliness for Australian adolescents with-or-without neurodevelopmental disorders: the impact of COVID-19 school lockdowns Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Stephen HOUGHTON, Auteur ; Michael KYRON, Auteur ; David LAWRENCE, Auteur ; Simon Charles HUNTER, Auteur ; John HATTIE, Auteur ; Annemaree CARROLL, Auteur ; Corinne ZADOW, Auteur ; Wai CHEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1332-1343 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent  Humans  Child, Preschool  Mental Health  Loneliness/psychology  covid-19  Longitudinal Studies  SARS-CoV-2  Australia/epidemiology  Communicable Disease Control  Schools  Neurodevelopmental Disorders  Coronavirus  adolescents  loneliness  longitudinal  neurodevelopmental disorders Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: The impact of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic school lockdowns on the mental health problems and feelings of loneliness of adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) is hypothesized to be greater than that of their non-NDD peers. This two and a half year longitudinal study compared changes in the mental health and loneliness of Western Australian adolescents pre-COVID-19 (November 2018 and April 2019), immediately prior to COVID-19 school lockdowns (March 2020), and post schools reopening (July/August 2020). METHODS: An age-and-gender matched sample of 476 adolescents with-or-without NDDs completed online assessments for mental health and loneliness. RESULTS: Adolescents with NDDs reported elevated levels of adverse mental health across all four waves of data collection. These young people experienced little change in mental health problems and feelings of loneliness over time, and any increase during school lockdowns returned to, or fell below pre-COVID-19 levels once schools reopened. In comparison, adolescents without NDDs experienced significant increases from a low baseline in depression symptoms, externalizing symptoms, feelings of isolation, and having a positive attitude to being alone, and evidenced a significant decline in positive mental wellbeing. Quality of friendships were unaffected by COVID-19 school lockdowns for all adolescents regardless of NDD status. Of the adolescents with NDDs, those with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder reported a significant increase in positive mental wellbeing following school lockdowns. CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents with NDDs emerged relatively unscathed from COVID-19 school lockdowns and the short term impacts associated with these were not maintained over time. These findings should be considered in the context of this study's geographical location and the unpredictability of school lockdowns. Learning to live with school lockdowns into the future may be a critical element for further investigation in the context of interventions.
