Whilst Internet access increases opportunities for social connection for individuals with IDD, it also may increase risk of victimisation. Adults with Williams syndrome (WS), who display an extreme pro\u2010social drive to engage with both familiar and unfamiliar people, might be especially vulnerable to online victimisation. This study first explores how often and why individuals with WS use the Internet and social networking sites. Next, the online vulnerability of individuals with WS is assessed through responses to hypothetical scenarios of potentially dangerous online interactions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty\u2010eight young adults with WS (mean age\u2009=\u200927.7\u2009years) and their parents completed questionnaires about their Internet and social networking use and parental oversight. Participants with WS then responded to hypothetical scenarios assessing their likelihood to take social and non\u2010social risks online.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Most participants with WS frequently use the Internet and the majority visit social networking sites every day or almost every day, with little parental supervision or oversight. Individuals with WS interact with both known and unknown individuals through social networking sites. Participants are more likely to agree to engage in socially risky behaviours compared to risky behaviours that are not social in nature when online. For example, participants were more likely to agree to meet an \u2018online friend\u2019 in person than they were to give their bank account information for winning a \u2018contest\u2019.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Individuals with WS, who are a socially vulnerable group in the real world, display behaviours that could also lead to victimisation online as well. As the Internet continues to become more accessible, more research is needed to increase online safety of individuals with WS and other IDDs. Implications for intervention and future research are discussed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jir.12281","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,13]],"date-time":"2016-05-13T04:53:07Z","timestamp":1463115187000},"page":"1020-1030","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Internet use and online safety in adults with Williams syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"E.","family":"Lough","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology Durham University  UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
