Older Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders in Sweden: A Register Study of Diagnoses, Psychiatric Care Utilization and Psychotropic Medication of 601 Individuals / Lena NYLANDER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-9 (September 2018)

Register data concerning diagnoses of other psychiatric disorders, psychiatric care, and psychiatric medication were reviewed. More than 60% had been in contact with psychiatric care. The majority had no intellectual disability (ID) diagnosis recorded during the study period. Apart from ID, affective disorders, anxiety and psychotic disorders were most commonly registered; alcohol/substance abuse disorders were uncommon. Psychotropic drug prescriptions were very common, especially in the ID group. Professionals need awareness of this vulnerable group; studies concerning their life circumstances and service requirements should be conducted.

Comparing Intellectual and Memory Abilities of Older Autistic Adults with Typically Developing Older Adults Using WAIS-IV and WMS-IV / Venus W.S. TSE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-10 (October 2019)

Twenty-eight individuals with autism and 29 typically developing (TD) older adults took part in the current study. Participants' cognitive and memory abilities were assessed by WAIS-IV and WMS-IV. Older autistic adults were found to have poorer performance in processing speed and visual working memory, but they performed at a similar level as TD controls in all other domains. Poorer processing speed and visual working memory are also often found to be associated with age-related decline in neurotypical adults. Longitudinal studies are warranted to explore how the combination of ageing and autism affects cognitive functioning in older adults.

First things first: An exploration of the effects of psychoeducation for older autistic adults / Machteld A. OUWENS ; R.M.H.J. WILTING ; Arjan C. VIDELER in Autism, 28-8 (August 2024)

In this study, we explored the effects of this adapted psychoeducation program for older autistic adults in a pre-test-post-test 6-month follow-up design. A total of 61 patients (55-78 years) and 44 proxies (a person close to them) participated in the study; attrition rate was high for the follow-up assessment. As hypothesized, an increase in knowledge and acceptance of the diagnosis was observed, with a strong and positive correlation between patients and proxies for knowledge. Furthermore, ambiguous results were observed on coping with the diagnosis and no positive effects on psychological distress were found. The feedback of participants and proxies about the psychoeducation program was largely positive. Future research with larger group samples and larger time scales is necessary to gain more insight into the effectiveness of the psychoeducation program. It seems worthwhile to further adjust the program to the needs and requirements of older adults, and to help older autistic adults to construct a new narrative of themselves, and the life they have lived, in the light of the recent autism diagnosis. Lay abstract After receiving an autism diagnosis, psychoeducation (i.e. information regarding autism) is a first intervention. We adjusted a psychoeducation program that was originally developed by the Dutch Association for Autism for older adults to enhance its feasibility and efficacy in later life. We expected that participants would report an increase in knowledge and acceptance of the diagnosis and that people close to them would also observe this. Indeed, we found this and participants and those close to them agreed on this. Furthermore, we found some evidence that older autistic adults were better at coping with their autism. We found no positive intervention effects on psychological distress. The feedback of participants and informants about the psychoeducation program was largely positive. In future research, we advise using larger group samples and larger time scales and we also advise to further adjust the program to the needs and requirements of older adults, and to help older autistic adults to construct a new narrative of themselves, and the life they have lived, in the light of the recent autism diagnosis.

Sleep problems and mental health difficulties in older adults who endorse high autistic traits / Gavin R. STEWART in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 77 (September 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 77 (September 2020) . - 101633 Titre : Sleep problems and mental health difficulties in older adults who endorse high autistic traits Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gavin R.

CHARLTON, Auteur ; Francesca HAPPE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101633 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic traits  ASD  Aging  Older adults  Sleep  Mental health  Depression  Anxiety Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Sleep problems and mental health difficulties are common in autistic children and young adults. However, these problems have seldom been studied in older autistic adults, or in older adults with elevated autistic traits. Method Cross-sectional data was examined from 13,897 adults aged 50–81 years taking part in the PROTECT study, who reported whether they experienced persistent socio-communicative autistic traits. Approximately 1%, 187 individuals, were identified as endorsing high autistic traits in childhood and currently, henceforth ‘Autism Spectrum Trait’ (AST) group. An age- and gender-matched comparison group was formed of 6740 individuals who endorsed no autistic traits, henceforth ‘Control Older Adults’ (COA) group. Differences between AST and COA groups were explored in self-reported sleep behaviors, and in depression and anxiety symptoms. Results AST and COA groups reported similar sleep duration and depth, and nighttime waking frequency. However, the AST group reported significantly more problems with falling asleep, morning drowsiness, and lower sleep quality/satisfaction than COA. More AST adults reported sleep problems past cut-off, as well as clinical levels of depression and anxiety, compared to COA. Adults in both groups who met criteria for high sleep problems experienced more mental health difficulties than those with few sleep problems. However, even amongst those without depression/anxiety, the AST group reported more sleep problems than the COA. Conclusions These associations suggest that older adults with high autistic traits, like diagnosed autistic children/young adults, may experience poorer sleep and more mental health difficulties than those with low autistic traits. Further work is needed to see whether these results extend to older individuals meeting diagnostic criteria for autism.

Subgroups of self-neglect and effects on suicidal ideation among the older adults / Hyun LEE in Development and Psychopathology, 36-4 (October 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 36-4 (October 2024) . - p.1537-1545 Titre : Subgroups of self-neglect and effects on suicidal ideation among the older adults Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Hyun LEE, Auteur ; Eunjin LEE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1537-1545 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : latent profiles analysis  older adults  self-neglect  suicidal ideation  typology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The issue of self-neglect among older adults is receiving attention in modern societies where aging is accelerating. To help expand our understanding of this phenomenon, this study identified its different types using latent profile analysis and verified the main variables that distinguish these types from each other. The three profiles that were identified are high self-neglect (HSN: 28.8%), low self-neglect (LSN: 35.6%), and poor personal hygiene (PPH: 35.6%). Interestingly, PPH showed a high rate and was identified as a noticeable type of elder self-neglect. Gender, age group, SES, support size, and suicidal ideation were significant in classifying the types of self-neglect. Men were more likely to be within the HSN group, and late elderly were more likely to be within the PPH group. The higher SES and social support, the higher the probability of being within the LSN group. The higher the suicidal ideation, the higher the possibility of falling under the HSN group. To reduce self-neglect among older adults, this study suggests to older adults vulnerable to self-neglect, expansion of the social support available to them, and provision of mental health services to this population.
