Abstract

The university provides academic support to disabled students, however, few institutions provide academic, extra-academic or preventive support to students with Autism Spectrum Disorders High-Functioning (ASD-HF). Among the most commonly requested needs is support for coping with anxiety arising from academic and social activity itself. When planning an intervention program, it is necessary to screen those who have problems and are likely to benefit from such a program. In this article we propose a systematic search for measures of anxiety for young people and adults with ASD-HF. Of a total of 683 documents, only 7 met the selection criteria. Of these, a total of 35 tools were detected, of which only 11 mediated anxiety. Screening should be carried out for all students, so that we can detect the “risk” of anxiety disturbance in all cases and, in particular, in students with ASD-HF. However, the instruments eligible for assessing intervention outcomes should be agreed upon in order to be able to compare results from different trials.

  • Currently, most measures of anxiety in autistic people are adaptations of instruments applied to the neurotypical population in the form of self-reports or indirect measures collected through caregiver assessment.

    “En la actualidad, la mayoría de las medidas son adaptaciones de instrumentos aplicados a población neurotípica en forma de autoinformes o medidas indirectas recogidas por medio de la valoración de los cuidadores.”

    The Results (§3.3; page unavailable) say that anxiety measures in the reviewed adult ASD trials were mostly self-reports, sometimes supplemented by parent or caregiver questionnaires, and that only one measure was specific to adults with ASD. The review does not establish that most measures were adaptations of instruments used with neurotypical people, or that its finding applies to anxiety measures for autistic people generally rather than those in the trials reviewed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
