Open Data in Autism Research
Open data has been promoted as a tool to improve the transparency, robustness, and efficiency of scientific research. However, the perspectives of participant communities, particularly those who are marginalised, are often overlooked in discussions around open data. This paper examines, for the first time, the views of autistic adults and parents of autistic people regarding open data practices in autism research. Thirty interviews were conducted…
Teaching higher education staff to understand and support autistic students
Although ceiling effects meant there were no changes to participant's knowledge about autism and autistic people statistically, the qualitative data reveals the extensive benefits they gained from taking part in the training programs. Scoring highly on the ASK-Q did not mean that people could not learn important new information and benefit from the course. This more nuanced understanding of autism led to practical changes in their practice. Liste…
Autism and anorexia nervosa
The present findings consolidate previously reported associations between autistic features and worse psychological outcome among people with AN. The findings also suggest that self-report measures may be sufficient for assessing the impact of autistic features on illness outcome among people with AN. Importantly, the study highlights the need for development and further investigation of neurodiversity accommodations in the treatment of AN
Basal ganglia volume and shape in anorexia nervosa
BACKGROUND: Reward-centred models have proposed that anomalies in the basal ganglia circuitry that underlies reward learning and habit formation perpetuate anorexia nervosa (AN). The present study aimed to investigate the volume and shape of key basal ganglia regions, including the bilateral caudate, putamen, nucleus accumbens (NAcc), and globus pallidus in AN. METHODS: The present study combined data from two existing studies resulting in a samp…
Similarities and Differences in Theory of Mind Responses of Patients With Anorexia Nervosa With and Without Autistic Features
Theory of Mind (ToM) is the ability to understand and represent mental states of others, a skill that plays a key role in how we interact with people around us. Difficulties with ToM have been posited as an underlying mechanism for autism and implicated in difficulties faced by those with anorexia nervosa (AN). This study examined, both quantitatively and qualitatively, the responses of women between the ages of 14 and 25 years on the Frith-Happé…
Anorexia Nervosa, Autism, and the Ados
Thirty years of scholarship has suggested that anorexia nervosa (AN) may be a "female presentation" of autism, supported by work which has found elevated rates of autism traits and diagnoses among women with clinical levels of AN. These traits are often assessed using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule 2nd Edition (ADOS-2), considered the "gold-standard" tool. Recently, the authors of the ADOS-2 revised the diagnostic algorithm for the ad…
