Résumé
Objectif Cette étude visait à caractériser les situations sanitaires, sociales et démographiques des adultes autistes au Royaume-Uni à l'aide des données de l'Adult Autism Spectrum Cohort-UK (ASC-UK), une vaste cohorte transversale en population générale. Elle cherchait à identifier les différences liées à l'âge et au genre en matière de santé mentale et physique, d'accès aux soins de santé, d'emploi, de relations sociales et de besoins de soutien. Méthodes Entre 2015 et 2021, 2129 adultes autistes (diagnostiqués ou s'auto-identifiant), âgés de 16 ans et plus, ont été recrutés par diverses voies, notamment les services du NHS et des organisations communautaires. Les données ont été recueillies à l'aide d'un questionnaire d'inscription de 78 items couvrant dix domaines de la vie quotidienne et de la Social Responsiveness Scale-2 (SRS-2). Les répondants ont été répartis en quatre catégories d'âge et comparés à l'aide de tests statistiques appropriés, notamment l'ANOVA, le test de Kruskal-Wallis, le test du chi carré et des mesures de taille d'effet. Résultats Les adultes autistes ont signalé des taux élevés d'affections physiques (par exemple, gastro-intestinales, obésité, arthrite) et de troubles de santé mentale (par exemple, anxiété, dépression), avec des variations notables selon le genre et l'âge. Les femmes ont signalé significativement davantage de problèmes de santé mentale et physique que les hommes. L'emploi était le plus faible dans les groupes les plus jeunes et les plus âgés, et le chômage était associé à une mauvaise santé mentale. Un écart substantiel a été observé entre le soutien nécessaire et le soutien reçu, en particulier chez les femmes et les personnes ayant des besoins de santé complexes. La défavorisation sociale n'était pas significativement associée aux diagnostics de santé. Conclusion Les adultes autistes dans l'ensemble du Royaume-Uni connaissent d'importantes inégalités de santé et des besoins de soutien non satisfaits. Le genre et l'âge influencent les résultats, et les services de santé doivent s'adapter afin d'améliorer l'accès et l'équité. Cette étude fournit des éclairages essentiels couvrant l'ensemble de la vie afin d'orienter les politiques, la pratique et les futures recherches longitudinales.
