Linear regression analyses were used to investigate the association between experienced parenting stress and the influence of parents’ own ASD characteristics, taking into account relevant covariates. This study shows that the experienced parenting stress does not show a significant relationship with the ASD characteristics of parents when relevant covariates (such as own psychiatric problems, ASD characteristics of the child and the partner relationship) are added. This study finds indications that parenting stress in parents of children with ASD appears to be more strongly related to their general perceived psychopathology than to their specific ASD characteristics. Further replication is warranted, and we advise research into interventions for parents that possibly prevent (further) stress associated with raising a child with ASD (characteristics).","PeriodicalId":283749,"journal":{"name":"Wetenschappelijk Tijdschrift Autisme","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131134726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

De keuring kan op advies van de psychiater aangevuld worden met een rijtest, maar deze is sinds 2021 niet meer verplicht. Er zijn nog weinig wetenschappelijke studies verricht naar de rijvaardigheden en rijervaringen van mensen met autisme. Is er enig bewijs dat bestuurders met autisme autorijden lastiger vinden of risicovoller rijgedrag laten zien in vergelijking met niet-autistische bestuurders? En als er verschillen zijn, waar ligt dat dan aan? Executieve functies zoals de aandacht vasthouden of flexibel omgaan met veranderende omstandigheden zijn relevante vaardigheden in het verkeer, en sommige mensen met autisme hebben moeite met een of meerdere executieve functies. In 2020 publiceerden Patrick en collega’s een studie naar het verband tussen executieve functies en de rijvaardigheden van autistische jongvolwassenen. Zij onderzochten bij 48 autistische en 48 niet-autistische deelnemers het vermogen om midden op de rijbaan te blijven rijden en de juiste rijsnelheid aan te houden in een rijsimulator. Beide groepen ‘reden’ achtereenvolgens een trainingsrondje, een route zonder afleiding, en reden daarna dezelfde route met afleidende taken zoals het afstemmen van de radio of een gesprek. Daarnaast werden verschillende executieve functietaken bij de deelnemers afgenomen.

Hoewel inclusief onderwijs een nobel streven is, en in sommige gevallen ook succesvol, zorgt inclusief en passend onderwijs ook voor de nodige uitdagingen. Leerkrachten geven aan niet altijd over de kennis en expertise te beschikken om goed les te kunnen geven aan kinderen met autisme. Leerlingen met autisme lopen een hoger risico om gepest of om buitengesloten te worden. Dit kan ouders ertoe bewegen om op thuisonderwijs over te stappen. In Nederland is thuisonderwijs, zonder COVID-19-pandemie, ongebruikelijk en vrijwel alleen mogelijk na een vrijstelling van de leerplicht, maar in veel andere landen zoals Engeland mogen ouders hun kinderen thuis lesgeven.

This does not only pertain to events meeting the DSM-5 PTSD A criterion for trauma such as assault and abuse but also to seemingly less shocking adverse events such as bullying. In clinical practice, PTSD and other trauma and stressor-related patterns of complaints often remain undetected and therefore untreated. A limiting factor is that it is not common use to systematically investigate a patient’s trauma history routinely. Further, trauma-related complaints show a lot of overlap with other disorders, in particular anxiety and mood disorders, as well as overlap with characteristics of ASD. In addition, until now validated assessment tools for trauma in individuals with ASD are missing. Finally, the application of standard trauma treatment protocols is often hindered by ASD-related problems. Research into the applicability and effectiveness of trauma treatment for ASD is still in its infancy. In this paper, research findings and clinical experiences regarding assessment and treatment of trauma in individuals with ASD are shared to contribute to the prevention of long-term serious trauma-related mental health problems and to underpin the need for further research on this topic.","PeriodicalId":283749,"journal":{"name":"Wetenschappelijk Tijdschrift Autisme","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127612717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
