Examining the role of self-compassion in the mental health and well-being of autistic adults

EXAMINING THE ROLE OF SELF-COMPASSION IN THE MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF AUTISTIC ADULTS

The two-factor structure of self-compassion was also confirmed in autistic adults, and only uncompassionate self-responding significantly moderated the negative association between autistic traits and well-being.

The study aimed to examine the structure of self-compassion in autistic adults and its moderating role in mental health and well-being. The poster reported that 369 autistic adults completed an online survey assessing self-compassion, anxiety, depression, and well-being; the conference abstract described the participants as 284 formally diagnosed and 49 self-identified autistic adults, with a mean age of 37 and a standard deviation of 14.2. The analyses used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test the two-factor model, linear regression and analysis of variance (ANOVA) to examine associations with demographic variables, and structural equation modelling to assess moderation. The two-factor model showed a significantly better fit than the one-factor model (chi-square difference(1)=143.75, p<0.001; CFI=0.825 versus 0.658; TLI=0.806 versus 0.621; SRMR=0.072 versus 0.202). In the demographic analyses, age (b=0.024, SE=0.008, t(282)=3.25, p=0.001) and age at diagnosis (b=0.015, SE=0.007, t(282)=-2.15, p=0.03) showed significant U-shaped curvilinear associations with uncompassionate self-responding (UCSR); women reported significantly lower UCSR than men (F(2,283)=11.66, p<0.001), and participants of non-European or mixed ethnic backgrounds reported higher compassionate self-responding (CSR) than white (British and American) participants (F(2,283)=5.14, p<0.02). In the moderation analysis, only UCSR significantly moderated the association between autistic traits and well-being (B=-0.310, SE=0.134, beta=-0.200, z=-2.32, p=0.021). The results suggest that, although self-compassion in autistic adults varies across demographic groups, its underlying structure is consistent with that found in neurotypical samples, and that self-compassion may be a promising intervention target for improving well-being.
