Superior perceptual capacity is specific to autistic cognition
OBJECTIVES: To systematically measure perceptual capacity for autistic, ADHD, autistic people with ADHD (AuDHD), and neurotypical adult populations, and to examine whether increased perceptual capacity represents a specific feature of autism or extends to other neurodivergent groups. METHODS: UK-based adults (n = 270: 69 autistic, 66 ADHD, 65 AuDHD, and 70 neurotypical), aged 18 to 40 years of age, took part in an online, computer-based perceptua…
Unsolicited Sexts and Unwanted Requests for Sexts
The purpose of this qualitative study was to obtain youth perspectives on consensual and non-consensual sexting. We began this study on young people's (12-19) sexting practices in a large urban center. Before the study was put on pause due to COVID-19 physical distancing measures, we conducted 12 focus groups with 62 participants (47 girls, 15 boys). A key finding was that many girls had received unsolicited sexts (e.g., 'dick pics') or unwanted …
Socialwork
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) permeated social work practice before coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In addition to ICT-based formal services (e.g. e-counselling), social workers used ICTs informally as an adjunct to face-to-face practice. Building on our previous research, our cross-sectional online survey examined social workers’ informal use of ICTs in four countries: Canada, the USA, Israel and the UK. The survey was a…
Responding to Covid-19
COVID-19 changed the context for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) use globally. With face-to-face practice restricted, almost all communication with clients shifted to ICTs. Starting in April 2019, we conducted semi-structured interviews with social workers from four agencies serving diverse populations in a large urban centre, with the aim of exploring social workers’ informal ICT use with clients. Approximately 6 weeks after the c…
Teaching Note—Preparing Social Workers for the Digital Future of Social Work Practice
The COVID-19 pandemic prompted an abrupt shift in the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in practice. The pre-pandemic use of informal ICT was already ubiquitous in social work practice. The purpose of this teaching note is to highlight that social work education must prepare students for practice using ICT during COVID-19 and beyond. Incorporated are findings from an international study on informal ICT use before COVID-19, whi…
Time Spent Outdoors at Midday and Children’s Body Mass Index
Objectives. We investigated whether the Kidskin sun protection intervention increased children’s body mass index by reducing the time spent outdoors at midday. Methods. The Kidskin sun protection intervention involved 1614 Australian school children assigned to 1 of 3 groups: a control group, a moderate-intervention group, or a high-intervention group. Schools in the control group received the standard health curriculum and schools in the interve…
A double dissociation between sensorimotor impairments and reading disability
Does sensorimotor dysfunction underlie reading impairment? To investigate this question, a battery of literacy, phonology, auditory, visual, and motor tests were administered to age- and ability-matched groups of dyslexic, autistic, and control children. As in previous studies, only a subset of the dyslexic children had sensory and/or motor impairments, whilst some dyslexics were entirely spared, suggesting that sensorimotor impairments are not n…
The role of sensorimotor impairments in dyslexia
This study attempts to investigate the role of sensorimotor impairments in the reading disability that characterizes dyslexia. Twenty-three children with dyslexia were compared to 22 control children, matched for age and non-verbal intelligence, on tasks assessing literacy as well as phonological, visual, auditory and motor abilities. The dyslexic group as a whole were significantly impaired on phonological, but not sensorimotor, tasks. Analysis …
