Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 119 (January 2025) . - p.102524 Titre : Brief report: Social relationships among autistic young adults with varying cognitive abilities Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Dena GOHARI, Auteur ; Jamie PARK, Auteur ; Hillary K. SCHILTZ, Auteur ; Catherine LORD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102524 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Social relationships  Young adulthood  Autism  Cognitive ability  Informant report Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autism is characterized by social difficulties, yet many autistic people value and desire social relationships. Given the limited research on autism in adulthood, particularly among those with lower cognitive ability, this study aimed 1) to compare self- vs informant-report of social relationships (acquaintances, friendships, and interpersonal difficulties) and 2) to compare social relationships, between more cognitively able (MCA) and less cognitively able (LCA) autistic young adults. Method Participants included 101 autistic young adults (Mage=25.90; SD=1.41; 82.0 % male; 79.8 % White) and their informants. Participants were interviewed, and the Interpersonal Difficulties and Social Relationships sections of the Social and Emotional Functioning Interview (SEF) were analyzed. Participants were classified as MCA (IQ 70) or LCA (IQ<70). Results For the MCA sample, informant and self-report SEF scores were all positively correlated and did not have significantly different median values. Weaker and non-significant associations emerged for social contexts outside of the home (e.g., at work) and more abstract concepts (e.g., quality of relationships). Although cognitive ability impacted the extreme SEF scores (e.g., having self-initiated reciprocal friendships), many social difficulties were shared by LCA and MCA young adults, according to informant reports. Conclusions This study is one of few on social relationships and autism to focus on adulthood and include LCA young adults. Results indicate that informant-report provides useful information on more concrete aspects of social relationships in this population. Many autistic young adults, and LCA young adults in particular, may benefit from additional social supports, yet it is also essential to collaboratively consider what types of social experiences and relationships are desired and feasible for each person. More research and intervention tailored to LCA autistic young adults are needed.

Development of an integrated individual therapy approach for young adults with autism spectrum disorder / Amanda CHANG ; Yasmine BENSIDI-SLIMANE ; Katherine A. LOVELAND in Research in Autism, 126 (August 2025)

LOVELAND, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.202653 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Young adulthood  Autism spectrum disorder  Motivational interviewing  Transition to adulthood  Neurodiversity  Mental health Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The transition to adulthood presents unique challenges for young adults (18-25 years old) with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) without co-occurring intellectual disabilities, including difficulties making and achieving long-term goals. Components of evidence-based interventions such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) focus on helping individuals make changes in life and has been combined for adolescents. However, these approaches (ACT + MI) have yet to be adapted for young adults with ASD. Method The present study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and, in an exploratory step, preliminary signal of effect of an individual coaching approach (combined MI and ACT) for young adults with ASD. Eleven young adults (18-25 years old) with co-occurring disorders were provided with individual, virtual coaching sessions. Results The coaching sessions were feasible and acceptable. 82 % (9/11) of young adults completed the sessions, with barriers including work conflicts (n = 5) and internet issues (n = 3). Most (91 %) found the online modality acceptable, and 27 % rated the sessions as very useful. All participants met weekly SMART goals, with 73 % achieving "much more than expected." Nine out of 11 reached the Maintenance stage of the transtheoretical model. Conclusions The findings suggest that ACT and MI can be successfully implemented with young adults with ASD during the transition to adulthood.

Social Participation Among Young Adults with an Autism Spectrum Disorder / Gael I. ORSMOND in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 43-11 (November 2013)

Social participation is an indicator of life quality and overall functioning. Using data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study 2, we examined rates of participation in social activities among young adults who received special education services for autism (ASD group), compared to young adults who received special education for intellectual disability, emotional/behavioral disability, or a learning disability. Young adults with an ASD were significantly more likely to never see friends, never get called by friends, never be invited to activities, and be socially isolated. Among those with an ASD, lower conversation ability, lower functional skills, and living with a parent were predictors of less social participation.

The current study contributes to the literature by examining correlates of support provided to siblings in young adulthood in the context of the broader autism phenotype (BAP). Young adults (n = 866; Mage = 25.43, SD = 2.54; 55% female) reported on support provided to and the BAP characteristics of 1198 different siblings (Mage = 28.56, SD = 8.87; 50% female). Findings showed that young adults provided more emotional and practical support to sisters that they perceived to be higher in BAP characteristics. These findings suggest that sisters who have characteristics associated with ASD may be at an advantage in receiving support.

Emotional Arousal During Social Stress in Young Adults With Autism: Insights From Heart Rate, Heart Rate Variability and Self-Report / Renee R. DIJKHUIS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-6 (June 2019)

Heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) were measured during a public speaking task in 51 young adults with ASD and 28 typically developing (TD) controls. The results showed no significant group differences in baseline HR/HRV, HR reactivity (change from baseline to the speaking task) or self-reported emotional awareness. However, adults with ASD showed significantly lower HRV reactivity (p = .023, d = 0.6) compared to TD adults. These results suggest a mismatch between arousal regulation and emotional awareness, which may be related to problems in social adaptation in ASD.
