Effective treatments of highly prevalent stress-related outcomes such as depression and anxiety are understudied in adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A randomized controlled trial baseline, post-intervention, 10-week follow-up, that explores the effects animal assisted therapy (AAT) was conducted. In total, 53 ASD normal to high intelligence were an intervention (N = 27) versus waiting list control group 26). The remarkable adherence program by study participants program's...
Executive functioning (EF) is thought to be linked autism spectrum disorders (ASD) specific symptoms. The majority of research has focused on children and adolescents with ASD and, therefore, little known about EF in adults. Furthermore, gender differences. Ninety-nine men forty women were compared 35 neurotypical 25 women. Participants matched age, total intelligence, verbal ability. following instruments used measure executive functioning: digit span letter number sequencing the WAIS-III,...
Abstract Aim Eating and feeding behaviours of autistic individuals related consequences have been mainly investigated in children or adults with intellectual disabilities. Behaviours such as food selectivity neophobia shown to persist into adolescence adulthood are associated aversive consequences. However, much less is known about the eating without disabilities, especially those women. By means a scoping review, we aim assess extent scientific literature on what these women possible...
Approximately 79% of people with autism experience comorbid problems at least once in their lives, including self-harm and suicidality. However, care providers still have little knowledge about why suicidality occur more often what health is appropriate. This article examines the prevalence, predictive factors appropriate autism. The results show that auto-mutilation (or has been) present 50% adults autism, this increases risk 37% (had) suicidal ideations 15.3% made one or suicide attempts....
Background: Autistic women with eating disorders (EDs) often present more complex EDs and may not fully benefit from current treatments, yet the reasons for this remain unclear. This study aims to examine behaviors of autistic how these differ those (1) non-autistic EDs, (2) without (3) female controls. It investigates autism-related behaviors, traditionally disordered avoidant–restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID)-related better understand their ED presentations. Methods: A...
Local information processing in 42 adults with high functioning autism, 41 Asperger syndrome and neurotypical was examined. Contrary to our expectations, the disorder groups did not outperform group neuropsychological measures of local processing. In line hypotheses, self-reports show higher levels a stronger tendency use systemizing strategies two groups. Absent weak correlations were found between tasks three The tests seem measure different underlying constructs. most predictive presence...
(1) Background: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are considered the gold standard for evaluating a treatment. However, results of an RCT may remain meaningless clinical practice in cases poor intervention feasibility or fidelity (the extent to which protocol was executed), when health care professionals patients experience as irrelevant unpleasant. Feasibility and relevance psychosocial interventions highly understudied adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In order put effects...
Social communication and self-esteem are often affected in adults with autism spectrum disorder. Implementation evaluation of interventions targeting social skills challenged due to specific characteristics autism. Intensive, valid programs is needed. In this explorative multiple case study, we examined effects working mechanisms dog-assisted therapy on self-esteem, by analyzing detailed observations Monte Carlo permutation tests (testing against 10,000 random samples) using self-...
Introduction: Comorbid problems are common in adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The number of studies on the effects behavioural interventions ASD is limited, needs differ from individual to individual, and numbers diagnoses rise worldwide. For this reason, it great importance develop new for examine effectiveness those reducing comorbid symptoms. In children ASD, preliminary positive results found interaction an animal. Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) have not yet been studied ASD....
Impaired social-emotional reciprocity is a defining feature of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Deficits in can be difficult to assess, particularly adults with average or above intelligence. The recently developed Interactive Drawing Test (IDT) measures children and adolescents without ASD based on spontaneous non-verbal interactions during the joint creation drawing. In this study, we examined if IDT able differentiate between 19 normally intelligent 18 ASD. total score, including number...
Research into the cognitive profiles of older adults with ASD is limited.We know little about how aging affects individuals and this influences their needs.The present study first to examine intelligence in ASD.WAIS-III performance 23 elderly neurotypical persons was examined.The two groups were matched on age level education.Results showed highly similar profiles, exception processing speed index, which performed weaker than control group.This caused by impairment subscale Digit...
