Reliably diagnosing autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in adulthood poses a challenge to clinicians due to the absence of specific diagnostic markers. This study investigated the potential of interpersonal synchrony (IPS), which has been found to be reduced in ASD, to augment the diagnostic process. IPS was objectively assessed in videos…

McQuaid, Goldie A.; Lee, Nancy Raitano; Wallace, Gregory L. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Camouflaging in autism spectrum disorder could be a factor in later diagnosis of individuals without co-occurring intellectual disability, particularly among those designated female sex at birth. Little research to date has examined how gender identity impacts camouflaging, however. Further, no study has compared groups that differ in diagnostic…

Nyrenius, Johan; Eberhard, Jonas; Ghaziuddin, Mohammad; Gillberg, Christopher; Billstedt, Eva – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Relatively little has been published about the prevalence of autism in adults with psychiatric disorders. In this study, all new patients referred to an adult psychiatric outpatient clinic in Sweden between November 2019 and October 2020 (n = 562) were screened for autism spectrum disorders using the Ritvo Autism and Asperger Diagnostic Scale…

Porter, Heather L.; Leibold, Lori J.; Buss, Emily – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Low-frequency detection thresholds in quiet vary across transducers. This experiment tested the hypothesis that transducer effects are larger in young children than adults, due to higher levels of self-generated noise in children. Method: Listeners were normal-hearing 4.6- to 11.7-year-olds and adults. Warble-tone detection was measured…

Yunhe Huang; Samuel R. C. Arnold; Kitty-Rose Foley; Julian N. Trollor – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
This study aimed to explore experiences of support after adulthood autism diagnosis. In this mixed-methods survey study of 137 adults, we found that most common formal supports received were counselling and mental health. Common unmet support needs were sensory sensitivities and accessing other services. Cost, lack of information, and fear of not…

Autistic adults experience high rates of unemployment, yet research investigating what predicts employment success produces inconsistent results. By utilising longitudinal person-oriented analyses, this study aimed to identify employment trajectories of autistic adults to better understand what may predict stable autistic employment. Participants…

M.; Murphy, Clodagh M.; Daly, Eileen – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
The behavioural and cognitive difficulties of some adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may increase their risk of contact with the criminal justice system (CJS) as a potential suspect. There has been limited investigation of ASD and offending and available evidence is mixed. A retrospective review was completed of medical records of 1570…

Nimmo-Smith, Victoria; Heuvelman, Hein; Dalman, Christina; Lundberg, Michael; Idring, Selma; Carpenter, Peter; Magnusson, Cecilia; Rai, Dheeraj – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Anxiety is common in children with ASD; however, the burden of specific anxiety disorders for adults with ASD is under-researched. Using the Stockholm Youth Cohort, we compared anxiety disorder diagnoses among autistic adults (n = 4049), with or without intellectual disability, and population controls (n = 217,645). We conducted additional sibling…

Fernández-Ávalos, María Inmaculada; Pérez-Marfil, María Nieves; Ferrer-Cascales, Rosario; Cruz-Quintana, Francisco; Fernández-Alcántara, Manuel – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2021
Background: The diagnosis of intellectual disability in children can produce complex grief-related feelings in their parents. Previous studies have focused on the moment of the diagnosis or the early life of the children, and little research has been conducted on their feelings of grief in adulthood. The objective was to analyse the process of…

Arvio, Maria; Bjelogrlic-Laakso, Nina – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2021
Background: In intellectual disability, the cognitive delay is observed during developmental age, whereas in dementia, cognitive decline occurs during post-developmental period. So far, the risk of dementia in people with intellectual disability, excluding those with Down syndrome, is poorly known. Method: We screened dementia signs in a study…

Sixteen adults (diagnosed or self-identified as autistic) participated in one of two iterations of a ten-week autistic-led programme, aimed at helping autistic adults learn more about autism within a peer group context. Motivations for taking part in the programme included a desire for: (1) exploration of autism; (2) empowerment; and (3) the…

Individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have a higher probability of developing co-occurring mental or physical health conditions. However, little is known about how these health conditions develop and impact the lives of the adult ASD population. This paper reviewed existing studies concerning factors affecting the health status…
