Suicide risk in transition-aged autistic youth: The link among executive function, depression, and autistic traits / Brianne TOMASZEWSKI ; Elena LAMARCHE ; Karrah BOWMAN ; Claire B. KLEIN ; Sara STAHL ; Laura G. KLINGER in Autism, 28-9 (September 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 28-9 (September 2024) . - p.2311-2321 Titre : Suicide risk in transition-aged autistic youth: The link among executive function, depression, and autistic traits Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Brianne TOMASZEWSKI, Auteur ; Elena LAMARCHE, Auteur ; Karrah BOWMAN, Auteur ; Claire B. KLEIN, Auteur ; Sara STAHL, Auteur ; Laura G. KLINGER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2311-2321 Langues : (en) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder (ASD)  depression  executive function  suicide risk  transition-aged youth Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic individuals are at significantly higher risk of suicide than non-autistic individuals, with transition-aged youth at potentially the highest risk. While lower executive function (EF) skills have been significantly associated with suicide risk in other clinical samples, the link between EF and suicidality has not yet been examined for autistic individuals. In this study, 183 transition-aged autistic youths completed routine suicide risk assessments and self- and informant-reports of autistic traits, depression, and EF skills. On the P4 Suicide Screener, approximately one-third of the sample (33.3%) endorsed having thoughts of hurting themselves with the intent to end their lives (i.e., suicidal ideation) in their lifetime. In addition to depressive symptoms, EF impairment independently predicted endorsement of suicidal ideation, indicating that both are crucial intervention goals to target suicidal risk for transition-aged youth on the spectrum. Findings suggest that executive functioning, a prevalent area of difficulty and common intervention target for the autistic community, is an important indicator of suicide risk in this population. Lay Abstract Autistic people are more likely to consider suicide than non-autistic people, with transition-aged youth (ages 16-21 years) at potentially the highest risk. Research has also shown that difficulties with executive functioning (e.g., difficulties with organization, sequencing, and decision-making) may heighten suicide risk among non-autistic people, but it is not clear whether this is also true for autistic people. This study explored this question by asking 183 transition-aged autistic youth about their experience with suicidal behavior and examining the relationship between their responses and additional measures of depression, autistic traits, and executive function skills. About one-third of autistic transition-aged youth (33.3%) said that they had experienced thoughts of hurting themselves with the intent to end their lives (i.e., suicidal ideation). Both depression and executive function challenges predicted suicide risk (i.e., participants who experienced depression were more likely to have had suicidal thoughts than those who had not, and participants who had more difficulty with executive function skills were more likely to have had suicidal thoughts than those who had less difficulty). These findings suggest that executive functioning, a common area of difficulty among autistic people, is an important indicator of suicide risk in this population.

The role of parental advocacy in addressing service disparities for transition-aged youth on the autism spectrum / Chung Eun LEE in Autism, 26-4 (May 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 26-4 (May 2022) . - p.1001-1006 Titre : The role of parental advocacy in addressing service disparities for transition-aged youth on the autism spectrum Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Chung Eun LEE, Auteur ; Meghan M.

Because of this, many studies have examined the different factors that are related to service access. These studies have shown that youth on the autism spectrum who belong to an underrepresented racial or ethnic group or whose families have lower incomes are less likely to receive the services that they need. However, it is difficult or impossible to change things like race/ethnicity or family income. It is important to also identify factors that might improve service access that we can change. One potential factor that fits into this category is parental advocacy activities. Using data collected from 185 parents of youth on the autism spectrum, we found that more parental advocacy activities were related to youth receiving more services, even after accounting for variables related to the functioning of the youth (e.g. whether they have an intellectual disability, their autism symptom severity) and demographic information about the family (e.g. state in which they live, parental race/ethnicity, and family income). Our findings suggest that building parental advocacy skills may be one important way to increase the number of services that youth on the autism spectrum receive as they transition to adulthood.

Correlates of self-reported life satisfaction among autistic youth with and without intellectual disability / Leann SMITH DAWALT ; Meghan M BURKE ; Julie Lounds TAYLOR in Autism, 29-7 (July 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 29-7 (July 2025) . - p.1807-1818 Titre : Correlates of self-reported life satisfaction among autistic youth with and without intellectual disability Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Leann SMITH DAWALT, Auteur ; Meghan M BURKE, Auteur ; Julie Lounds TAYLOR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1807-1818 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  Satisfaction with Life Scale  subjective well-being  transition-aged youth Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Compared to their nonautistic peers, lower levels of life satisfaction have been reported by autistic individuals. It is unclear, however, whether autistic individuals with intellectual disability report similar levels of life satisfaction as autistic individuals without intellectual disability or which characteristics are associated with life satisfaction. This study sought to examine differences in levels of self-reported life satisfaction across those with and without intellectual disability and explore correlates of life satisfaction in a sample of 35 autistic youth with intellectual disability and 99 autistic youth without intellectual disability. No difference in self-reported life satisfaction was detected between autistic youth with and without intellectual disability. Greater self-reported life satisfaction was associated with higher self-determination for autistic youth without intellectual disability. For autistic youth with intellectual disability, greater self-reported life satisfaction was related to more frequent social participation, lower parent stress, and fewer unmet service needs. Unmet service needs and parent stress were significantly stronger correlates of life satisfaction for youth with intellectual disability compared to youth without intellectual disability. Although the sample size of autistic youth with intellectual disability was small, these findings suggest the importance of considering heterogeneity among individuals on the autism spectrum when seeking to understand their well-being.Lay abstract Autistic people report lower life satisfaction compared to people without autism. It is unclear whether autistic people with intellectual disability report similar levels of life satisfaction to autistic people without intellectual disability. In this study, we did not find a difference in levels of life satisfaction for autistic youth with intellectual disability compared to autistic youth without intellectual disability. We also identified factors that might promote better life satisfaction. Higher self-determination was related to higher life satisfaction for autistic youth without intellectual disability. For autistic youth with intellectual disability, more frequent social participation, lower parent stress, and fewer unmet service needs were associated with higher life satisfaction. Unmet service needs and parent stress were more strongly related to life satisfaction for youth with intellectual disability compared to youth without intellectual disability. Our findings suggest that taking a more individualized approach to support the well-being of autistic youth is important.
