Looking good but feeling bad: "Camouflaging" behaviors and mental health in women with autistic traits / Jonathan S. BECK in Autism, 24-4 (May 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 24-4 (May 2020) . - p.809-821 Titre : Looking good but feeling bad: "Camouflaging" behaviors and mental health in women with autistic traits Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jonathan S. BECK, Auteur ; Rebecca A. LUNDWALL, Auteur ; Terisa GABRIELSEN, Auteur ; Jonathan C. COX, Auteur ; Mikle SOUTH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.809-821 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum  camouflage  diagnosis  disorders  female  mental health  women Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Women who try to hide or "camouflage" their autistic traits are likely to report that they feel distressed, think of suicide, and/or struggle to function in everyday life. We asked 58 women with autistic traits to complete questionnaires about camouflaging and mental health. Most of these women did not have a formal diagnosis of autism, yet a majority reported that they camouflaged autistic traits, and a large majority reported significant mental health challenges. Some researchers have suggested that women with autistic traits are more likely than autistic men to experience mental health challenges because women may try more to "fit in" socially by camouflaging their autistic traits. Analyses showed that camouflaging was associated with feeling distressed (depressed, anxious, and/or stressed). For women who reported above-average levels of camouflaging, camouflaging was also associated with having thoughts about suicide and struggling to function in everyday life. Trying to camouflage autistic traits was associated with mental health challenges, regardless of whether those traits were very mild or more severe. The findings of this study may influence how mental health professionals evaluate and treat women with autistic traits.

Brief Report: Asexuality and Young Women on the Autism Spectrum / Hillary H. BUSH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 51-2 (February 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 51-2 (February 2021) . - p.725-733 Titre : Brief Report: Asexuality and Young Women on the Autism Spectrum Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Hillary H.

This study contributes to the literature by exploring aspects of sexuality and well-being in a large, community-based sample of young women (18-30 years old) with ASD (N?=?247) and comparing the experiences of those with asexual spectrum identities and those with other sexual orientations (e.g., gay, bisexual, heterosexual). In the present sample, asexual participants reported less sexual desire and fewer sexual behaviors than those with other sexual orientations, but greater sexual satisfaction. Being on the asexual spectrum also was associated with lower generalized anxiety symptoms. Clinical and research implications are discussed.

Health characteristics of reproductive-aged autistic women in Ontario: A population-based, cross-sectional study / Ami TINT in Autism, 25-4 (May 2021)

This study used administrative data from Ontario, Canada, to compare the health of reproductive-aged autistic women with non-autistic women. Overall, reproductive-aged autistic women had poorer health compared with non-autistic women, including increased rates of material deprivation, chronic medical conditions, psychiatric conditions, history of assault, and use of potentially teratogenic medications (i.e. drugs that can be harmful to the development of an embryo or fetus). These findings suggest that there is a need for health interventions tailored to the needs of reproductive-aged autistic women.

Health communication: A pilot study comparing perceptions of women with and without high functioning autism spectrum disorder / Michelle LUM in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-12 (December 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 8-12 (December 2014) . - p.1713-1721 Titre : Health communication: A pilot study comparing perceptions of women with and without high functioning autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Michelle LUM, Auteur ; Michelle GARNETT, Auteur ; Erin O’CONNOR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1713-1721 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : High functioning autism  Communication  Healthcare  Stigma  Women Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Research indicates significant health disparities for individuals with autism. Insight into characteristic sensory, cognitive, communication, social, emotional, and behavioural challenges that may influence health communication for patients with autism is vital to address potential disparities. Women with high functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may have specific healthcare needs, and are likely to independently represent themselves and others in healthcare. A pilot study compared perceptions of healthcare experiences for women with and without ASD using on-line survey based on characteristics of ASD likely to influence healthcare. Fifty-eight adult female participants (32 with ASD diagnosis, 26 without ASD diagnosis) were recruited on-line from autism support organisations. Perceptions measured included self-reporting of pain and symptoms, healthcare seeking behaviours, the influence of emotional distress, sensory and social anxiety, maternity experiences, and the influence of autistic status disclosure. Results partially support the hypothesis that ASD women experience greater healthcare challenges. Women with ASD reported greater challenges in healthcare anxiety, communication under emotional distress, anxiety relating to waiting rooms, support during pregnancy, and communication during childbirth. Self-disclosure of diagnostic status and lack of ASD awareness by healthcare providers rated as highly problematic. Results offer detailed insight into healthcare communication and disparities for women with ASD.

Higher autism in children of women with psychiatric diagnoses / Bridget M. WIECKOWSKI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 33 (January 2017)

WALKER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.10-20 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD  Epidemiology  Women  Depression  Pregnancy Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : To determine the extent to which medical record history of maternal psychiatric diagnoses was associated with offspring autism risk in a large, socio-demographically diverse birth cohort. This retrospective cohort study linked hospital discharge records for 8,951,763 California singleton births occurring 1/1/91-12/31/08 from the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development with diagnostic and service records from the Department of Developmental Services. Medical records documenting maternal mood and anxiety disorders and schizophrenia ICD-9-CM codes were identified, and 42,423 children were categorized with a DSM-IV diagnosis of ‘autistic disorder’. Log-linear Poisson models explored the relationships between maternal psychiatric disorders and autism, adjusting for maternal education, race, country of birth, and parental age. Results Rates of maternal psychiatric diagnoses were lower than expected for the population, reflecting under-recognition and under-reporting by inpatient clinicians. In adjusted analyses, mothers diagnosed with one individual psychiatric condition were 1.2–2.8 times more likely to have a child who developed autism. Mothers diagnosed with any one or more psychiatric condition were twice as likely to have a child with autism compared with unaffected or unreported women (RR = 1.97; 95% CI 1.83–2.12). Women with a documented inpatient medical record history of psychiatric diagnosis were nearly twice as likely as women without such diagnoses to have a child later diagnosed with autism. These findings highlight the need for routine prenatal screening for psychiatric conditions, as well as enhanced neurobehavioral assessment of children born to these mothers to detect early autism signs and optimize intervention timeliness.
