This book was released on 2017 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are social communication disorders often categorized by impaired social interaction (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). While the nature and severity of these symptoms vary widely across individuals, most individuals with ASD have difficulties with social relationships, including building and maintaining friendships (Carter, Davis, Klin, & Volkmar, 2005; Kuo, Orsmond, Cohn, & Coster, 2011). Such impairments in childhood have been associated with long-term struggles including academic and occupational underachievement, and mood and anxiety problems later in development (Tantam, 2003). Friendship in adolescents with ASD has not been widely studied (Bauminger, et al., 2008). Research examining friendships in adolescents with ASD, especially the interpretation of friendship from the point of view of the individual with ASD, is needed in order to advance our understanding of the concept, role and importance of friendship within this population of individuals. The current study aimed to present research related to the perception of friendship that adolescents with ASD have, as well as how these perceptions relate to the existing research on typically developing adolescents' view of friendship in order to better understand and explain friendship in this population. This study indicates that to a large degree, adolescents with ASD describe friendship using common themes outlined in the existing literature. The data further indicated that adolescents with ASD experience peer relationships differently than their typically developing peers, particularly surrounding victimization and bullying. There did not appear to be significant differences in perceptions or experiences of friendship based on participant functioning characteristics including FSIQ and SRS scores. The results of this study highlight the importance of developing interventions and curriculum that address the true needs and wants of this population, such as protection from victimization.
Book Synopsis Adolescents and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders by : Fred R. Volkmar
Download or read book Adolescents and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders written by Fred R. Volkmar and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-04-18 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research on children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is extensive and growing. Although these conditions are recognized as affecting the entire lifespan, the literature on ASD after childhood is limited and has not been brought together in a single volume in over a decade. Adolescents and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders fills this knowledge gap by focusing on needs and difficulties unique to these stages of development. Expert contributors offer cogent reviews of complex issues, from education to employment, leisure activities to illegal behaviors, mental health issues to medical health concerns. The latest findings in key areas, such as psychosocial and residential treatments, social skills programs, epidemiology, the impact of ASD on families, are examined in detail. Throughout the volume, coverage focuses on areas requiring improved models of assessment, updated data, new interventions and increased support services. Featured topics include: Transition from high school to adulthood for adolescents and young adults with ASD. Innovative programming to support college students with ASD. Romantic relationships, sexuality and ASD. Treatment of mental health comorbidities. Assessment and treatment planning in adults with ASD. The range of outcomes and challenges in middle and later life. Adolescents and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders is a must-have reference for a wide range of clinicians and practitioners – as well as researchers and graduate students – in clinical child, school and developmental psychology; child and adolescent psychiatry; social work; rehabilitation medicine/therapy; education and general practice/family medicine. It will also serve as an important resource for parents and caregivers with its focus on translating the current state of knowledge relevant to understanding adolescents and adults with ASD into practical and relevant recommendations on how best to support them.

This book was released on 2011-01-19 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is essential reading for any clinician or researcher working with teens with autism spectrum disorders. This parent-assisted intervention for teens is based on a comprehensive, evidence-based, 14-week program at UCLA’s Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior, the manualization of the popular UCLA PEERS Program, and the success of the Children’s Friendship Training (Routledge, 2002) manual for children. After reviewing techniques designed to help parents and therapists tailor the manual to the needs of the teens with whom they are working, the text moves on to the individual treatment sessions and strategies for tackling issues such as developing conversational skills, choosing friends, using humor, get-togethers, teasing, bullying, gossiping, and handling disagreements. Each session chapter includes handouts, homework assignments, descriptions of what to expect (and how to handle challenges in delivering the intervention), and customized tips for both parents and therapists.

Book Synopsis Affective Sharing, Friendship, and Outcomes Among Boys with Autism Spectrum Disorders by : Jenna Louise Mendelson
Download or read book Affective Sharing, Friendship, and Outcomes Among Boys with Autism Spectrum Disorders written by Jenna Louise Mendelson and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Research among typically developing boys aged 8-12 has found affective sharing to be a key distinguishing characteristic of friendship. However, to date no research exists that further examines and builds upon these findings among boys with Autism Spectrum Disorders. This study examined whether affective sharing (defined as positive social engagement and synchrony, which consisted of time spent in synchronous interaction and responsiveness) predicted friendship reciprocity and quality over and above opportunities to participate in activities with other children. Additionally, this study examined whether affective sharing, friendship reciprocity, and overall friendship quality are predictive of lower rates of internalizing symptoms and higher rates of adaptive behavior among boys with ASD. Findings suggest a comparable pattern of friendship behavior among children with ASD and typically developing (TD) boys during friend interactions, albeit with lower mean rates of affective sharing among children with ASD. However, affective sharing did not mediate the relation between participation in surface level activities with peers and friendship quality, internalizing symptoms, or adaptive behavior. Additionally, a distinct pattern of characteristics of children who were not able to identify a friend to participate in the second visit emerged among participants with ASD, suggesting differences may lie between children with ASD and TD peers without reciprocated friendships."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Book excerpt: Teenagers and older children on the autistic spectrum are, like the rest of us, surrounded by complex social codes and rules that govern everyday interaction. Interpreting these and reading social cues such as sarcasm, idioms and body language often presents a real challenge, but this book of realistic and thought-provoking stories can help. Designed with both parent and child in mind, every story outlines a real-life situation that young people on the spectrum are likely to encounter. Each of these is followed with questions such as 'what else might he have done?', 'how do you think she felt?' and 'why do you think they were upset?', along with practical tips for parents on how to facilitate constructive discussions. As children consider these questions with adults, they begin to put themselves into someone else's shoes and are encouraged to think about how their actions and behaviour may affect those around them, gaining invaluable skills and understanding that will be transferable to everyday life situations. Packed with 60 stories exploring real-life situations, this book will be an essential tool for parents, caregivers, teachers, and anyone else wishing to enable young people on the autistic spectrum to improve their social skills.
