Résumé

CONTEXTE : Les personnes autistes tendent à rapporter une qualité de vie (QOL) plus faible que les groupes de comparaison, bien que certaines études rapportent des résultats plus optimistes. Des traits autistiques plus élevés sont également liés à une QOL plus faible. Toutefois, le rôle de l’alexithymie dans cette relation n’a pas été exploré. MÉTHODE : Au total, 163 participants (N = 53 autistes et N = 111 de comparaison) ont consenti à participer ; toutefois, 30 participants ont été exclus en raison de données manquantes (ils ne différaient pas de ceux qui ont été retenus en ce qui concerne l’âge, le genre, l’éducation, l’emploi ou le statut de vie), laissant un échantillon final de 133 participants (N = 42 participants autistes et 91 participants de comparaison). Des informations démographiques (notamment l’âge et le genre) ont été recueillies, ainsi que des mesures auto-rapportées des traits autistiques, de la santé mentale, de l’alexithymie et de la QOL. Nous avons estimé des modèles de régression fondés sur une analyse préenregistrée et avons mené des analyses exploratoires de réseaux. RÉSULTATS : Les traits alexithymiques ne prédisaient pas la QOL après contrôle des covariables. La dépression prédisait significativement la QOL physique, psychologique et sociale. Lors de l’examen de l’impact des seuls traits alexithymiques et des traits autistiques, les deux étaient significativement associés à la QOL physique et psychologique. Pour les participants ayant un faible score de dépression, la corrélation entre l’alexithymie et la QOL était forte ; ce qui suggère que la dépression masque l’association entre l’alexithymie et la QOL. Les analyses de réseaux ont suggéré que la dépression et l’anxiété exercent des effets directs sur la QOL physique et psychologique, tandis que les scores d’alexithymie peuvent influencer la QOL physique par l’intermédiaire des traits autistiques. CONCLUSION : En somme, la dépression est un prédicteur négatif omniprésent de multiples domaines de la QOL. Le rôle de l’alexithymie dans la prédiction de la QOL de manière dimensionnelle et catégorielle n’a pas été exclu ; compte tenu de nos analyses exploratoires, nous suggérons que des interventions ciblant l’alexithymie pourraient avoir un impact positif sur la QOL des personnes ayant de faibles scores de symptômes dépressifs.

BACKGROUND: Autistic people tend to report poorer Quality of Life (QOL) than comparison groups, though some studies do report more optimistic findings. Higher autistic traits are also related to poorer QOL. However, the role of alexithymia in this relationship has not been explored. METHOD: A total of 163 participants (N = 53 autistic and N = 111 comparison) consented to take part; however, 30 participants were excluded due to missing data (who did not differ from those who were retained on age, gender, education, employment, or living status), leaving a final sample of 133 (N = 42 Autistic and 91 Comparison participants). Demographic information (including age, gender) was collected, alongside self-report measures of autistic traits, mental health, alexithymia, and QOL. We estimated regression models based on pre-registered analysis, and we conducted exploratory network analyses. RESULTS: Alexithymic traits did not predict QOL when controlling for covariates. Depression significantly predicted Physical, Psychological, and Social QOL. When examining the impact of just alexithymic traits and autistic traits, both were significantly associated with Physical and Psychological QOL. For participants with a low depression score, the correlation between alexithymia and QOL was strong; suggesting that depression occludes the association between alexithymia and QOL. Network analyses suggested that depression and anxiety exert direct effects on Physical and Psychological QOL, whereas alexithymia scores may influence Physical QOL via autistic traits. CONCLUSION: In sum, depression is a pervasive negative predictor of multiple QOL domains. The role of alexithymia in predicting QOL dimensionally and categorically was not ruled out, given our exploratory analyses, we suggest that interventions which target alexithymia may positively impact QOL for those who score low on depressive symptoms.
