Achtergrond van het onderzoek
In this timeseries study we will examine the effect of the psychoeducation "Ouder & Wijzer: psycho-educatie voor ouderen met ASS". During the baseline phase, participants will fill out questionnaires each week. Subsequently, during the intervention phase, participants will both fill out questionnaires as well as receive the psychoeducation each week. Older adults (55+) will be included in the study. The psychoeducation is specifically focused on aging with ASS, and was developed in collaboration with clinicians and people with ASS. Topics include, for example, cognitive aging and changes in health, living arrangements, social networks.
Doel van het onderzoek
Psychoeducation is recommended after diagnosis. For older adults with autism there currently is no evidence based psychoeducation available. We hypothesize that participating in our psychoeducation will lead to a more comprehensive understanding of the person's autism and cognitive abilities. The beneficial effect is defined as a smaller discrepancy in reported autism symptoms and cognitive abilities between the person with autism themselves and an important other. Furthermore, we expect a decreased discrepancy to be followed by improvements in participant’s daily lives.
