Autistic people experience a higher prevalence of self-harming behaviours than do the general population. Self-harm remains a stigmatised topic, and until recently, self-harming behaviours in autism were considered to be limited to self-injurious behaviours experienced by intellectually impaired autistic children and not to be experienced by…

Giannouchos, Theodoros V.; Beverly, Judith; Christodoulou, Ilias; Callaghan, Timothy – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
We analyzed the Healthcare Cost and Utilization State Emergency Department (ED) Databases and State Inpatient Databases for all individuals who were 2 years of age or older with at least one ED visit from 2011 to 2016 in New York to estimate the association between suicide and non-fatal injury-related ED visits and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).…

Goldfarb, Yael; Zafrani, Osnat; Hedley, Darren; Yaari, Maya; Gal, Eynat – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Restrictive and Repetitive Behaviors and Interests represent a core feature of autism since the earliest conceptualization of the condition. Related behaviors, such as hoarding and self-injurious behaviors, are under-researched in adulthood, resulting in limited knowledge about their various manifestation through the life span. This study expands…

However, no studies have explored autistic peoples' experiences of treatment and support for these difficulties. In partnership with a steering group of autistic adults, an online survey was developed to explore these individuals' experiences of treatment and…

Failla, Michelle D.; Moana-Filho, Estephan J.; Essick, Greg K.; Baranek, Grace T.; Rogers, Baxter P.; Cascio, Carissa J. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2018
Pain assessments typically depend on self-report of the pain experience. Yet, in individuals with autism spectrum disorders, this can be an unreliable due to communication difficulties. Importantly, observations of behavioral hypo- and hyperresponsivity to pain suggest altered pain sensitivity in autism spectrum disorder. Neuroimaging may provide…

Maddox, Brenna B.; Trubanova, Andrea; White, Susan W. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2017
Recent studies have examined non-suicidal self-injury in community and clinical samples, but there is no published research on non-suicidal self-injury in individuals with autism spectrum disorder. This lack of research is surprising, since individuals with autism spectrum disorder have high rates of risk factors for non-suicidal self-injury,…
