“…The use of social stories, in which individuals are presented with a guide and examples of social interactions in clear language to enhance their theory of mind skills, has been effective in helping children with ASD to respond appropriately in social situations (Wright et al., ). Given the examples from participants in the current study, adapted versions of these social stories might be useful in assisting couples to “speak the same language” by illustrating appropriate relationship behaviors and expectations, as well as resolving lingering pain from past conflicts.…”

“We will never be normal”: The Experience of Discovering a Partner Has Autism Spectrum Disorder

Online forums and lay literature suggest that partners of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) experience depression, distress, and trauma in their everyday lives, exacerbated during the time surrounding diagnosis. In this content analysis, 29 participants were provided with an online open-ended statement asking them to describe in writing their experiences of discovering that their partners had ASD during their relationships. Six themes emerged, including: facing unique challenges within relationships; insisting partners seek diagnosis; initial shock and relief; losing hope for normalcy; making accommodations within relationships; and wishing for professional support. Marriage and family therapists should help couples minimize blaming and promote self-awareness, appropriate relationship expectations, and mutual understanding. Future research should explore the overall experience of neuro-mixed relationships for both partners.

“…Despite there being a large number of case studies evidencing the positive effects of social stories upon maladaptive behaviours of children on the autism spectrum, systematic analyses and meta analyses highlight major inconsistencies within the literature (Reynhout and Carter, 2006;Quirmbach et al 2009;Kokina and Kern 2010;Test et al 2011;Kokina and Kaczmarek 2014;Sani et al 2014;Wright et al 2016;Qi et al 2018). Typically, only a small number of studies meet inclusion criteria (e.g.…”

“…Randomised Control Trials (RCTs) allow for cause and effect between the intervention and behaviour change to be established, increasing methodological rigour for autism interventions (Mesibov and Shea 2011). However, to date, only four between group RCTs have been conducted using social stories, all of which did not meet inclusion criteria for a review by Wright et al (2016). The studies generally failed to successfully follow Gray's social story criteria and interventions tended to lack an individualised story constructed for the specific needs of the child and were vulnerable to selection and reporting bias (Marshall et al 2016;Wright et al 2016).…”

Social stories is a widely used intervention for children on the autism spectrum, particularly within an educational context. To date, systematic reviews and meta analyses of the research evaluating social stories has produced mixed results, often due to a lack of methodological rigour and variability in the development and delivery of the social stories. To address the gap in methodological rigour, a pilot Randomised Control Trial (RCT) was conducted, incorporating a social stories intervention group (n = 9 children on the autism spectrum) and an attentional control group who received a poem (n = 6 children on the autism spectrum) using a digital platform to address variability. Digitally-mediated social stories were found to be effective in producing beneficial changes in behaviour outcomes, which were sustained at a six-week follow up.

This study aimed at identifying the most common stress generating factors among military police officers, according to scientific literature. It is a systematic review conducted through the PRISMA method, in the databanks: Pubmed, Scielo and BVS, using the descriptors"Military Police" AND "Polícia militar" OR "Occupational Hazard" AND "Risco ocupacional" OR "Occupational stress" AND "Estresse ocupacional", conducted in April 2015. 4,490 researchers were found, from which 4,424 were excluded after the title was read, as they did not meet the inclusion criteria. From these 66 studies, 17 were discarded due to duplicated results, and 49 were left. During the reading of the abstracts, 16 other workers were excluded because they were not completely available online. Therefore, 17 studies were left, and 07 were excluded due to the eligibility criteria. Women are the most affected by the stress at the Military Police work. In issues regarding age or time on the service, the younger or those with less time in the profession suffer less from stress-related problems at work. The high level of violence to which they are exposed is another possible influence in the high levels of stress in the studies surveyed. Descriptors: Police; Mental health; Mental disorders; Occupational health.Este estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar los factores generadores de estrés más recurrentes en policías militares descriptos en las producciones científicas. Se trata de una revisión sistemática por el método PRISMA, realizada a través de las bases de datos Pubmed, Scielo y BVS, utilizando los descriptores "Military Police" y "Polícia Militar" u "Occupational hazard" y "Risco ocupacional" u "Occupational stress" y "Estresse ocupacional", realizado en abril de 2015. Se identificaron 4.490 trabajos, de los cuales 4.424 fueron excluidos después de la lectura del título, por no ser elegibles. De los 66 estudios, 17 fueron descartados por ser duplicados, restando 49 artículos. En la lectura de los resúmenes, fueron excluidos 16, que no estaban disponibles online de forma completa. Así, restaron 17 estudios, con exclusión de 7 por criterios de elegibilidad. Las mujeres son más afectadas por el estrés en el trabajo en la Policía Militar. En las cuestiones referentes a la edad o al tiempo de trabajo, los más jóvenes o con menos tiempo de profesión son los que menos sufren con los problemas relacionados al estrés del trabajo. La elevada carga de violencia a la cual son expuestos es otro posible inductor de los altos índices en los estudios levantados.
