“…Furthermore, several of the studies reviewed [42,83,91] suggest that the observable behaviour of an individual with autism may not be indicative of his or her internal physiological arousal state. Baron et al [99] emphasized the importance of further investigating this phenomenon systematically, especially in individuals with autism who have communication deficits and/or limited emotional expressivity. Future research examining the association between PR and overt behaviour, and the association between PR and important behavioural outcomes, among individuals with autism is warranted.…”

“…Stress is subjectively experienced when the perceived demands of an individual’s situation exceed the perceived available resources and some models of stress emphasise minor daily hassles over major life events in the development of stress, which appears to be the case for people with AS (Sze and Wood, 2007), who seem particularly susceptible to experiencing stress (Baron et al, 2006a) with daily lives characterised by unpredictability (Dubin, 2009; Grandin, 2006). Appraisal of stress, experience of anxiety and sources of stress appear to be different for people with AS (Baron et al, 2006b; Dubin, 2009; Gaus, 2011; Gillott and Standen, 2007), leading to hyper-arousal and further stress. Wood and Gadow (2010) in their conceptual review of anxiety in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) identify that anxiety may be a consequence of ASD, a moderator of the core ASD symptomatology or a proxy for the core symptoms, while noting that the potential for reports of anxiety in ASD to be of low validity.…”

Anxiety in Asperger’s syndrome: Assessment in real time

Anxiety is a major problem for many people with Asperger's syndrome who may have qualitatively different fears from a non-Asperger's syndrome population. Research has relied on measures developed for non-Asperger's syndrome populations that require reporting past experiences of anxiety, which may confound assessment in people with Asperger's syndrome due to problems with autobiographical memory as are often reported in this group.Experience sampling methodology was used to record real-time everyday experiences in 20 adults with Asperger's syndrome and 20 neurotypical adults. Within-subject analysis was used to explore the phenomenology of thoughts occurring in people with Asperger's syndrome when they were anxious. Comparisons were made with the group that did not have Asperger's syndrome. The Asperger's syndrome group were significantly more anxious than the comparison group. Factors associated with feelings of anxiety in the Asperger's syndrome group were high levels of self-focus, worries about everyday events and periods of rumination lasting over 10 min. People in the Asperger's syndrome group also had a tendency to think in the image form, but this was not associated with feelings of anxiety. The results are discussed with reference to psychological models of Asperger's syndrome, cognitive models of anxiety and implications for psychological therapy for this group.

“…Reliance on self-reports can also be problematic due to widely noted concerns regarding the validity of such measures for children with HFASDs. Specifically, questions have been raised involving the capacity of individuals with HFASDs to identify and express internalized states such as stress [10,13,14].…”

This study compared cortisol concentrations yielded using three saliva collection methods (passive drool, salivette, and sorbette) in both in vitro and in vivo conditions, as well as method acceptability for a sample of children (n = 39) with High Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders. No cortisol concentration differences were observed between passive and sorbette samples obtained in vitro or in vivo. The salivette derived concentration was lower than the other two methods for the in vitro derived comparisons but did not differ from the other methods when collected in vivo. Cross-day comparison for the salivettes was also found to differ significantly, whereas the cross-day comparisons did not differ for the passive method or the sorbette method. Overall, passive drool and sorbettes were found to produce similar and stable readings of cortisol, whereas the salivette yielded unstable and variable concentrations. Ratings suggested that the children generally perceived all methods as acceptable.
