Academic abilities in children and adolescents with a history of autism spectrum disorders who have achieved optimal outcomes / Eva TROYB in Autism, 18-3 (April 2014)

These individuals have achieved social and language skills within the average range for their ages, receive little or no school support, and are referred to as having achieved “optimal outcomes.” Performance of 32 individuals who achieved optimal outcomes, 41 high-functioning individuals with a current autism spectrum disorder diagnosis (high-functioning autism), and 34 typically developing peers was compared on measures of decoding, reading comprehension, mathematical problem solving, and written expression. Groups were matched on age, sex, and nonverbal IQ; however, the high-functioning autism group scored significantly lower than the optimal outcome and typically developing groups on verbal IQ. All three groups performed in the average range on all subtests measured, and no significant differences were found in performance of the optimal outcome and typically developing groups. The high-functioning autism group scored significantly lower on subtests of reading comprehension and mathematical problem solving than the optimal outcome group. These findings suggest that the academic abilities of individuals who achieved optimal outcomes are similar to those of their typically developing peers, even in areas where individuals who have retained their autism spectrum disorder diagnoses exhibit some ongoing difficulty.

Self-perception of competencies in adolescents with autism spectrum disorders / Rosaria FURLANO in Autism Research, 8-6 (December 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 8-6 (December 2015) . - p.761-770 Titre : Self-perception of competencies in adolescents with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rosaria FURLANO, Auteur ; Elizabeth A. KELLEY, Auteur ; Layla HALL, Auteur ; Daryl E. WILSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.761-770 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders  self-perceptions  cognitive development  academic functioning  metacognition  self-concept Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research has demonstrated that, despite difficulties in multiple domains, children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) show a lack of awareness of these difficulties. A misunderstanding of poor competencies may make it difficult for individuals to adjust their behaviour in accordance with feedback and may lead to greater impairments over time. This study examined self-perceptions of adolescents with ASD (n?=?19) and typically developing (TD) mental-age-matched controls (n?=?22) using actual performance on objective academic tasks as the basis for ratings. Before completing the tasks, participants were asked how well they thought they would do (pre-task prediction). After completing each task, they were asked how well they thought they did (immediate post-performance) and how well they would do in the future (hypothetical future post-performance). Adolescents with ASD had more positively biased self-perceptions of competence than TD controls. The ASD group tended to overestimate their performance on all ratings of self-perceptions (pre-task prediction, immediate, and hypothetical future post-performance). In contrast, while the TD group was quite accurate at estimating their performance immediately before and after performing the task, they showed some tendency to overestimate their future performance. Future investigation is needed to systematically examine possible mechanisms that may be contributing to these biased self-perceptions.
