Development and psychometric validation of a novel, self-report visual processing questionnaire (ViPro-SR) for neurodivergent adults
Differences in visual sensory sensitivity/reactivity are documented in autism and ADHD. Measuring these differences could guide interventions and accommodations, improving quality of life. No current self-report questionnaires focus specifically on the range of affective and behavioural responses to visual stimuli reported in autism and ADHD. This study aimed to develop such a measure (ViPro-SR) for neurodivergent adults. Using online survey resp…
Gathering autistic adults’ visual experiences to inform adaptations
Sensory processing difficulties are highly prevalent in autism and affect quality of life. Identifying the lived visual experiences of autistic individuals across the lifespan is important for informing interventions, adaptations, and mechanistic understanding of differences in visual perception. However limited research exists exploring the visual experiences of autistic adults. To address this knowledge gap, semi-structured interviews were cond…
Illness Characteristics of Covid-19 in Children Infected with the Sars-CoV-2 Delta Variant
COVID-19 in UK school-aged children due to SARS-CoV-2 Delta strain B.1.617.2 resembles illness due to the Alpha variant B.1.1.7., with short duration and similar symptom burden
Is cognitive inflexibility a missing link? The role of cognitive inflexibility, alexithymia and intolerance of uncertainty in externalising and internalising behaviours in young people with autism spe…
BACKGROUND: Internalising (anxiety and low mood) and externalising (aggressive or outburst behaviours, and irritability) difficulties are very common in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) across the life span, relatively stable over time and often associated with poorer quality of life. Understanding the cognitive mechanisms underlying internalising and externalising difficulties in ASD is essential for developing targeted supports and interventions.…
Failure of Healthcare Provision for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in the United Kingdom
Background: Despite evidence-based national guidelines for ADHD in the United Kingdom (UK), ADHD is under-identified, under-diagnosed, and under-treated. Many seeking help for ADHD face prejudice, long waiting lists, and patchy or unavailable services, and are turning to service-user support groups and/or private healthcare for help. Methods: A group of UK experts representing clinical and healthcare providers from public and private healthcare, …
Prevalence and Associated Factors of Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties during Covid-19 Pandemic in Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Children and young people (CYP) with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) may be particularly vulnerable to adverse mental health effects due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted a cross-sectional U.K. parent-reported study from 2nd April-2nd June 2020, using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. CYP with NDDs ( n = 371), compared to neurotypical controls, had a higher prevalence of emotional symptoms (42% vs. 15%) and conduct problems (…
