The autistic experience of homelessness: Implications from a narrative enquiry / Beth STONE in Autism, 27-2 (February 2023)
[article]
Titre : The autistic experience of homelessness: Implications from a narrative enquiry Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Beth STONE, Auteur ; Ailsa CAMERON, Auteur ; Sandra DOWLING, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.489-499 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism homelessness narrative research rough sleeping service access service engagement Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Emerging research suggests autistic people are disproportionately represented in homeless populations. Less is known about how autistic people experience homelessness and what prevents them from exiting homelessness. This article presents findings from a narrative enquiry investigating the link between autism and homelessness. Ten autistic adults consented to participate in narrative interviews which explored their life histories and pathways through homelessness. This article considers how participants experienced rough sleeping and sofa surfing before attempting to access hostels. It then examines how participants navigated support systems, arguing that barriers to accessing services perpetuated homelessness. Because of these barriers, some participants disengaged with services, preferring to sleep rough. The extent to which participants could be said to have ˜chosen’ homelessness is balanced with consideration of the lack of autonomy autistic adults are able to exercise over their lives. This article concludes with discussion of practical implications for services and policy in England.

Titre : The prevalence of autistic traits in a homeless population Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : A. CHURCHARD, Auteur ; M. RYDER, Auteur ; A. GREENHILL, Auteur ; W. MANDY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.665-676 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults autism homelessness Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Anecdotal evidence suggests that autistic people experience an elevated risk of homelessness, but systematic empirical research on this topic is lacking. As a step towards filling this gap in knowledge, we conducted a preliminary investigation of the prevalence of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.) autism symptoms in a group of long-term homeless people. The entire caseload ( N = 106) of a UK homeless outreach team was screened (excluding individuals born outside of the United Kingdom or Republic of Ireland) using an in-depth, semi-structured interview with keyworkers, based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.) diagnostic criteria. This showed adequate inter-rater reliability, as well as evidence of criterion and construct validity. Of the sample, 13 people (12.3%, 95% confidence interval (7.0, 20.4)) screened positive, meeting Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.) autism criteria by keyworker report. A further nine people (8.5%, 95% confidence interval (4.5, 15.3)) were 'marginal', having autistic traits that were not quite sufficient to meet Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.) criteria. Those with elevated autistic traits, compared to those without, tended to be more socially isolated and less likely to use substances. This study has provided initial evidence that autistic traits are over-represented among homeless people and that autistic homeless people may show a distinct pattern of characteristics and needs. Further investigation is required to build upon these provisional findings.
