“…This is concerning since peer victimization occurs more often in populations with disabilities (Sentenac et al 2011) and individuals with ASD experience high rates of physical, emotional and sexual abuse. For instance, caregivers reported 18.5 and 16.6% of children with ASD had experienced physical and sexual abuse, respectively (Mandell et al 2005).…”

Recent studies report a higher prevalence of suicidality (ideation, attempts and deaths by suicide) among individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) than in the general population. Unfortunately, there is little research addressing the conceptualization and management of suicidality in the ASD population. In this commentary, we explore potential modifications in the processes leading to suicidality in individuals with ASD and considerations relevant to clinical support and service development. Specifically, based on a multilevel framework, we highlight individual, contextual and systemic risk factors of suicidality in the ASD population noted in the literature. We discuss how patterns of ASD-related behaviours may modify specific pathways in theories of suicide as developed for the general population. We explore how ASD symptomology may contribute to maladaptive coping strategies and dynamics between those with ASD and their care providers. Considerations for prevention and proactive responses at various levels of practice and implications for support and service development are discussed as future directions in the field.

“…1 This finding is especially concerning given that the number of overweight and obese youth has increased substantially over recent decades, 2 and in 2010, 32% of US 2-to 19-year-olds were classified as clinically overweight or obese. 3 Although previous research [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] and recent reviews 14,15 have linked child BMI with involvement in victimization, there has been limited comprehensive assessment of teasing/ bullying specifically about weight (ie, weight-based victimization [WBV]), especially in weight loss treatment-seeking samples of overweight youth.…”

Weight-Based Victimization: Bullying Experiences of Weight Loss Treatment–Seeking Youth

2013

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Studies have linked bullying with BMI, with overweight and obese youth vulnerable to bullying and its negative psychological and health consequences. However, there has been little comprehensive assessment of weight-based victimization, especially in weight loss treatment-seeking samples of youth.WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS: WBV is prevalent in treatment-seeking youth, who report victimization from peers (92%), friends (70%), parents (37%), and teachers (27%). Providers should discuss WBV in their assessment and treatment of pediatric patients who are overweight or obese.abstract OBJECTIVE: Few studies have comprehensively examined weight-based victimization (WBV) in youth, despite its serious consequences for their psychosocial and physical health. Given that obese and treatmentseeking youth may be highly vulnerable to WBV and its negative consequences, the current study provides a comprehensive assessment of WBV in a weight loss treatment-seeking sample.METHODS: Adolescents (aged 14-18 years; N = 361) enrolled in 2 national weight loss camps were surveyed. An in-depth assessment of WBV was conducted by using an online survey, in which participants indicated the duration, typical locations, frequent perpetrators, and forms of WBV they had experienced. RESULTS:Findings indicate that 64% of the study participants reported WBV at school, and the risk of WBV increased with body weight. Most participants reported WBV enduring for 1 year (78%), and 36% were teased/bullied for 5 years. Peers (92%) and friends (70%) were the most commonly reported perpetrators, followed by adult perpetrators, including physical education teachers/sport coaches (42%), parents (37%), and teachers (27%). WBV was most frequently reported in the form of verbal teasing (75%-88%), relational victimization (74%-82%), cyberbullying (59%-61%), and physical aggression (33%-61%). WBV was commonly experienced in multiple locations at school.CONCLUSIONS: WBV is a prevalent experience for weight loss treatmentseeking youth, even when they are no longer overweight. Given the frequent reports of WBV from adult perpetrators in addition to peers, treatment providers and school personnel can play an important role in identifying and supporting youth who may be at risk for pervasive teasing and bullying.

“…Children with disabilities are frequently exposed to negative attitudes and this can have harmful consequences on their wellbeing, including loneliness, anxiety, and reduced selfworth [1,2]. Therefore, it has been recommended that research identify effective ways to promote more positive societal attitudes towards people with disabilities [3,4].…”

Aim To assess whether the Chedoke-McMaster Attitudes towards Children with Handicaps (CATCH) 36-item total scale and subscales fit the unidimensional Rasch model. MethodThe CATCH was administered to 1,881 children, aged 7-16 years in a crosssectional survey. Data were used from a random sample of 416 for the initial Rasch analysis.The analysis was performed on the 36-item scale and then separately for each subscale. The analysis explored fit to the Rasch model in terms of overall scale fit, individual item fit, item response categories, and unidimensionality. Item bias for gender and school level was also assessed. Revised scales were then tested on an independent second random sample of 415 children.Results Analyses indicated that the 36-item overall scale was not unidimensional and did not fit the Rasch model. Two scales of affective attitudes and behavioural intention were retained after four items were removed from each due to misfit to the Rasch model. Additionally, the scaling was improved when the two most negative response categories were aggregated.There was no item bias by gender or school level on the revised scales. Items assessing cognitive attitudes did not fit the Rasch model and had low internal consistency as a scale.Conclusion Affective attitudes and behavioural intentions CATCH sub-scales should be treated separately. Caution should be exercised when using the cognitive subscale.
