Parents' psychological distress and high levels of parenting stress have a negative impact on their well-being. In addition, recent studies on the buffering effect of self-compassion related with psychological difficulties have also attracted attention. At this point, this study aims to carry out a meta-analytic review of studies examining the association between self-compassion and psychological distress, parenting stress, and well-being. Web of Science (WOS), Scopus, and EBSCOHost (APA PsycArticles, MEDLINE, TR Index, ERIC) electronic databases were searched in November 2023. Studies were included if they were quantitative and included parents of children with NDDs as the study population. As a result, 131 studies were obtained. After the duplicate studies were removed and evaluated according to the inclusion criteria, n = 15 were included. The random effects model was used to obtain the pooled effect sizes. The results showed that there was a large, negative, and significant relationship between self-compassion and parental depression score and parenting stress; a moderate, negative, and significant relationship between self-compassion and parental anxiety score; and a large, positive, and significant relationship between self-compassion and parental well-being. According to these findings, it is important to observe and measure the level of self-compassion for the well-being of parents of children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Moreover, increasing self-compassion in parents of children with neurodevelopmental disorders may be a protective factor for the psychological health of these parents.","PeriodicalId":15148,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders","volume":" ","pages":"3828-3843"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13538213/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144010888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Subjective Understanding of Burnout represents the internal point of view (POV) on autistic burnout (experiences and feelings of people who have personally encountered burnout), while the rest fall into the category of external POV (observations or assessments from outside people or experts who observed autistic burnout in affected individuals). Despite the growing literature on autistic burnout, our study reveals several gaps in current knowledge, such as its epidemiology, protective and risk factors, consequences, and educational plans and guidelines to improve awareness and support.

Less is known about romantic relationships among autistic adolescents and how others in their immediate environment, such as educational staff, perceive and refer to this issue. To address this gap, the present study aimed to understand and describe the perspectives of educational staff on the romantic relationships of autistic adolescents, including their views regarding the right and capability of adolescents to form and maintain such relationships, and the education system's role in providing relevant knowledge and skills. A descriptive phenomenological qualitative approach was applied. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with 20 educational staff members from special education schools in Israel. Four main themes emerged from the thematic analysis of the interviews: (1) Stigmatic attitudes regarding the ability of autistic adolescents to develop romantic relationships; (2) Preventive sexual education as a priority; (3) Behavioral implications of educational neglect; and (4) Recommended practices. The findings highlight the need for macro- and micro-level change by developing an adapted curriculum that views romantic relationships as positive and constructive and eliminating stigmatic perceptions among educational staff. Another recommendation is to provide educational staff with emotional and practical preparation for addressing the issue of romantic relationships in class.","PeriodicalId":15148,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders","volume":" ","pages":"4135-4146"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144006769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A secondary analysis was conducted on a multisite randomized clinical trial (Wood et al. in JAMA Psychiatry 77:474-483, 2020) comparing adapted CBT with standard-of-practice CBT and treatment-as-usual (TA). Autistic youth (N = 167; aged 7-13) with maladaptive and interfering anxiety participated. The adapted CBT (BIACA) uses a modular format, with an emphasis on supplementing common CBT practice elements (reframing and graded exposure) with social skill supports. The primary outcome measure was the Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale. Social responsiveness was assessed with the Social Responsiveness Scale, Second Edition. Participants' general mental health was assessed as a secondary outcome using the Brief Problem Checklist. Mediation was tested using the SPSS PROCESS macro. Analyses suggested that the effect of adapted CBT on anxiety was mediated by its effects on social responsiveness, with a statistically significant indirect effect. Youth randomly assigned to adapted CBT exhibited better overall mental health at posttreatment compared to those randomized to the other conditions, and this effect was also mediated by improved social responsiveness. CBT adapted to address some of the social needs of autistic youth may enhance mental health outcomes by supporting social responsiveness, perhaps increasing the ease and effectiveness with which some youth can navigate potentially stressful situations such as entering and participating in group activities.","PeriodicalId":15148,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders","volume":" ","pages":"3755-3764"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13538194/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143968263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Behavioral (social responsiveness, executive functions and communication skills) and resting-state functional connectivity (FC) data from the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange were analyzed comprising individuals with ASD (n = 144) and healthy controls (n = 99).

Finally, we assessed FC-behavior links in the ASD group and age effects on FC across these networks in both samples. Individuals with ASD exhibited increased FC between DMN and SN but decreased one within DMN compared to the control group. FC between right insular and medial prefrontal cortices predicted more severe social responsiveness impairments in ASD but there were no significant associations with executive functions nor adaptive behavior. Additionally, DMN and SN matured in ASD with partly different patterns than in typical development.

With the increasing number of adult autism diagnoses, it is crucial to understand the identity formulation process in these individuals to mitigate potential long-term impacts on mental health, well-being, and the acceptance of their autistic identity. This study employed a qualitative approach, involving eight autistic individuals who were diagnosed later in life. The participants' experiences, understandings, and unique support needs were explored to gain insights into their identity development. Thematic analysis was utilized to identify recurring themes in the data, leading to the creation of a new identity framework. This framework was compared against the Cognitive Adaptation Model (1983), a widely used identity framework, to assess its relevance. The analysis identified significant themes, including the roles of social, formal, media, and peer support, in aiding late-diagnosed autistic individuals to embrace their autistic identity. The newly developed identity framework outlines the stages of identity development that these individuals experience post-diagnosis, highlighting the importance of various support systems in their journey. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the identity formulation process in late-diagnosed autistic individuals, offering valuable insights for practitioners, mental health organizations, policymakers, and the general public. By promoting awareness of the unique identity development and support needs of this population, the study aims to improve services and support systems, ultimately helping late-diagnosed autistic individuals better accept and integrate their autistic identity.","PeriodicalId":15148,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders","volume":" ","pages":"3970-3987"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144022649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
