Work performance skills in adults with and without high functioning autism spectrum disorders (HFASD) / Eynat GAL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 10 (February 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 10 (February 2015) . - p.71-77 Titre : Work performance skills in adults with and without high functioning autism spectrum disorders (HFASD) Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Eynat GAL, Auteur ; Efrat LANDES, Auteur ; Noomi KATZ, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.71-77 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder  HFASD  Employment  Work  Evaluation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Autism Work Skills Questionnaire (AWSQ) consists of 78 items, divided into 6 domains; 5 domains focus on employment skills, the 6th relates to one's sensory needs within the work environment. Initial internal consistency reliability for the AWSQ has been established. The purpose of this study was to examine its discriminate validity between people with HFASD to controls with Typical Development (TD). The AWSQ was completed by a convenience sample of 102 TD subjects (25 women, 77 men) and 37 subjects with HFASD (7 women, 30 men), both groups were aged 20–40. From the TD sample, 37 individuals were further matched to those with HFASD. Significant differences were found between the work skills of people with and without HFASD. Differences were found in almost all the domains of the AWSQ. Significant correlations were found between the different categories among people without HFASD as opposed to a small number of correlations among people with HFASD. These findings suggest a unique working profile among those with HFASD, in comparison to the TD sample, and highlight the importance of assessing their unique abilities and challenges in order to provide people with HFASD with a job that matches their interests and working profiles.

"I'm Destined to Ace This": Work Experience Placement During High School for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder / E. A. L. LEE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-8 (August 2019)

This study employed a grounded theory approach to explore the key factors contributing to successful work placement experience and the perceived benefits of these placements from the perspective of adolescents with ASD (n = 5), their parents (n = 6) and employers (n = 6). Key factors contributing to success include preparing for the workplace, harnessing strengths and interests and developing work related skills, while the benefits include insight into the workplace, recognising and realising potential, working as a team and the pathway ahead. The findings articulate a framework which could underpin future transition interventions for adolescents with ASD.

Transition to work: Perspectives from the autism spectrum / D. HEDLEY in Autism, 22-5 (July 2018)

This study involved focus groups with adults with autism spectrum disorder ( n = 9) participating in a 3-year employment and training programme, as well as focus groups with family members ( n = 6), support staff ( n = 7) and co-workers ( n = 6). The aim was to gain better understanding of the experience of transition to work, barriers and also the factors that promote workplace success. Main themes included factors that facilitated success at work ( Enablers), barriers to success ( Challenges) and programme outcomes ( Outcomes). Organisation support, advice from co-workers, supportive leadership, allowance of environmental modifications and presence of a consultant were identified as enablers that most facilitated success at work. Challenges included task-related difficulties, individual factors, social difficulties and distractibility, not managing work-related stress, and being perceived to be too frank. Outcomes were rated as positive and encompassed work-related outcomes, as well as outcomes related to sense of purpose, achieving personal independence and improvements in social relationships, both with work colleagues and within families.

Employment profiles of autistic adults in Australia / M. HARVERY in Autism Research, 14-10 (October 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-10 (October 2021) . - p.2061-2077 Titre : Employment profiles of autistic adults in Australia Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : M.

This study adds to the existing evidence base to guide clinical decisions and interventions for this population. This study utilized baseline data collected between 2015 and 2017 from the Autism CRC's Australian Longitudinal Study of Autism in Adulthood. The aim was to describe the employment profiles and explore factors related to employment for Australian autistic adults aged 25 and older (N = 149). Comparisons between participants and the Australian workforce were made using Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data. Two logistic regression models were conducted to explore the association between underemployment and underutilisation with personal and environmental factors. In comparison to the Australian workforce, autistic adults were more likely to work part-time, work reduced hours and be employed at skill levels lower than their qualifications warranted. Logistic regressions reported that more autistic traits, more social supports and having workplace adjustments implemented were significantly associated with a higher odds of autistic adults being appropriately employed and/or utilized in the workforce. Results suggest that interventions implementing appropriate workplace adjustments, a supportive workplace environment, and adequate social supports may improve employment outcomes for autistic adults. All employees may benefit from workplace resources targeted toward fostering an inclusive workplace environment. LAY SUMMARY: This study aimed to describe the employment profiles and explore factors related to employment for Australian autistic adults. We compared this with the Australian workforce using data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Autistic adults with more autistic traits and more social and workplace supports were more likely to be employed and have jobs that were better suited to them. Autistic adults might have better employment outcomes if they have the appropriate workplace adjustments, a supportive workplace and adequate social supports.

Characteristics of autism spectrum disorder in anorexia nervosa: A naturalistic study in an inpatient treatment programme / K. TCHANTURIA in Autism, 23-1 (January 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 23-1 (January 2019) . - p.123-130 Titre : Characteristics of autism spectrum disorder in anorexia nervosa: A naturalistic study in an inpatient treatment programme Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : K.

The aim of this study was to examine the association between symptoms of autism spectrum disorder and eating disorders, and other psychopathology during the course of inpatient treatment in individuals with anorexia nervosa. Participants with anorexia nervosa (n = 171) completed questionnaires exploring eating disorder psychopathology, symptoms of depression and anxiety, and everyday functioning at both admission and discharge. Characteristics associated with autism spectrum disorder were assessed using the Autism Spectrum Quotient, short version. Autism spectrum disorder symptoms were significantly positively correlated with eating disorder psychopathology, work and social functioning, and symptoms of depression and anxiety, but not with body mass index. Autism Spectrum Quotient, short version scores remained relatively stable from admission to discharge but there was a small, significant reduction in scores. There was no interaction between time and Autism Spectrum Quotient, short version scores on clinical symptom change. In anorexia nervosa, autism spectrum disorder symptoms appear to be associated with a more severe clinical presentation on admission to inpatient care. Autism spectrum disorder symptoms as assessed by self-report measures may be exacerbated by other mental health psychopathology, which warrants further investigation.
