“…In PQ software, factor analysis generated viewpoints are analysed by participant, not by statement. This procedure has demonstrated high rigour in multiple studies (Chee et al, 2014;Corr, 2006;Fristedt et al, 2012;Simons, 2013;Wagman, Håkansson, Jacobsson, Falkmer, & Björklund, 2012). Consequently, the factor analysis grouped individuals and their Q sorts as opposed to grouping individual viewpoint statements (Corr, 2006;McKenzie et al, 2011).…”

“…The research investigating driving habits in adults with ASD is scarce, however for individuals with ASD, obtaining a drivers licence reportedly involves a magnitude of challenges (Chee et al, 2014;Cox, Reeve, Cox, & Cox, 2012;Almberg, Selander, Falkmer, Vaz, Ciccarelli, et al, 2015). Due to the high level of cognitive demand it requires, it is possible that many adults with ASD rely on other means of transportation rather than driving their own car.…”

Background: Public transport is low cost, allows for independence, and facilitates engagement and participation for non-drivers. However, the viewpoints of individuals with cognitive disabilities are rarely considered. In Australia, the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is approximately 1% and increasing. Many individuals with ASD do not possess a driver's licence, indicating that access to public transport is crucial for their independence. However, at present, there is no research on the opinions of adults with ASD on public transport. Aim: To identify the viewpoints of adults with ASD regarding the barriers and facilitators of public transport usage and their transportation preferences, and to contrast these against the viewpoints of neurotypical adults. Methods: Q methodology was used to identify the viewpoints of both participant groups on public transport. Participants consisted of 55 adults with a diagnosis of ASD and a contrast group of 57 neurotypical adults. Both groups completed a Q sort task which took place in either Perth or Melbourne, Australia. Results: The most prominent viewpoint indicated that both groups preferred to use public transport over driving and believed that it supported their independence. This viewpoint also indicated that both groups preferred to use electronic ticketing when using public transport. Interestingly, the second most prominent viewpoint indicated that both groups preferred to drive themselves by private car rather than use public transport. Discussion: It appears that the viewpoints of adults with and without ASD regarding public transportation were largely similar. However, questions arose about whether the preference for public transport in the ASD group may be more a result of difficulties obtaining a driving licence than a deliberate choice. The only barrier specified by adults with ASD related to crowding on public transport. Safety and convenience in relation to location and timing of services were barriers reported by neurotypical adults.

“…Once they obtain their license, they can perceive themselves as confident and skilled drivers. However, they often prefer other ways of transporting, for instance walking, which might be related to experienced anxiety during driving (Chee et al, 2015;Reimer et al, 2013).…”

Procedure: This multi-center study (U.Va. and U.I.) consented 73 young drivers (age range= 15-24, µ age= 17.96, 78% male). Participants completed an assessment at time 0 and 3 months, which included parents completing questionnaires (Social Responsiveness Scale-Second Edition [SRS-2] and the Scale of Apprehensive Driving [SAD]) and drivers completing driving simulator-based assessments of executive functioning and tactical driving skills. Following baseline assessment, drivers were randomized to one of four groups: (1) Routine Training (RT) following the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) guidelines, (2) Standard VRDS training (Standard) where performance feedback was provided by a human trainer, (3) Automated VRDS training (Automated), where the simulator provided real-time audio feedback (e.g. "too fast, too slow, swerving, across midline" etc.), or (4) Standard+Eye-Tracking (Eye-Tracking), where drivers additionally viewed video feedback from eye-tracking technology informing where the driver was looking when executing different driving maneuvers, such as turning, going through intersections, etc. For the next two months, all drivers and parents were instructed to follow the DMV guidelines for behind-thewheel training necessary for a full driver's license. Subjects assigned to groups 2-4 additionally received 10-12 one hour-long VRDST training sessions. Post assessment al...
