Experiences of autistic and non-autistic individuals participating in a corporate internship scheme / A. REMINGTON in Autism, 26-1 (January 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 26-1 (January 2022) . - p.201-216 Titre : Experiences of autistic and non-autistic individuals participating in a corporate internship scheme Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : A. REMINGTON, Auteur ; B. HEASMAN, Auteur ; A. M. ROMUALDEZ, Auteur ; E. PELLICANO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.201-216 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  employment  internship  outcomes  work  of interest with respect to the research, authorship and/or publication of this  article. Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic people can find it difficult to find and keep a job, and fewer autistic people are employed compared with people from other disability groups. There is not enough research in this area, especially research that directly compares the experiences of autistic and non-autistic colleagues starting in an organisation at the same time. Our study looked at the experiences of autistic and non-autistic people taking part in an internship at Deutsche Bank, UK. We spoke to the interns before the internship began, and again once it had finished. We also asked the interns' hiring managers about their experiences of the internship. We used interviews and online questionnaires to find out people's views. Before the programme began, managers of autistic interns were more worried about the internship than managers of the non-autistic interns. They were worried about providing the right level of support, communicating successfully and treating all their employees fairly. At the end of the internship, everyone felt that the internship was a success. Managers of autistic interns explained how the experience had made them better managers. Both groups of interns and said that they benefitted from clear communication and would have likes more support. Managers of autistic interns spoke about dividing tasks up into smaller chunks and being flexible in their communication were helpful when working with the autistic interns. More work is needed to make sure that autistic interns are integrated alongside non-autistic peers. One way to make this happen might be to create guides for managers.

Neurodivergent intersubjectivity: Distinctive features of how autistic people create shared understanding / B. HEASMAN in Autism, 23-4 (May 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 23-4 (May 2019) . - p.910-921 Titre : Neurodivergent intersubjectivity: Distinctive features of how autistic people create shared understanding Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : B. HEASMAN, Auteur ; A. GILLESPIE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.910-921 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : double empathy  friendships  intersubjectivity  neurodivergence  neurodiversity  norms  qualitative research  social interaction  video gaming  within-interaction variation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic people are neurologically divergent, yet approaches to studying autism are framed by neurotypical definitions of being social. Using the concept of intersubjectivity, which conceptualises a variety of ways of socially relating, we investigate distinctive features of how autistic people build social understanding. A total of 30 members of a charity supporting adults with autism were video-recorded during a social activity they enjoyed, namely collaborative video gaming. Mapping the coherence, affect and symmetry of each conversational turn revealed shifting patterns of intersubjectivity within each interaction. Focussing on clusters of consistent and fragmented turns led us to identify two features of neurodivergent intersubjectivity: a generous assumption of common ground that, when understood, led to rapid rapport, and, when not understood, resulted in potentially disruptive utterances; and a low demand for coordination that ameliorated many challenges associated with disruptive turns. Our findings suggest that neurodivergent intersubjectivity reveals potential for unconventional forms of social relating and that a within-interaction analysis is a viable methodology for exploring neurodivergent communication. Future research should examine the varieties of neurodivergent intersubjectivity, with associated problems and potentials, and how those forms of intersubjectivity can be enabled to flourish, particularly in autistic-to-neurotypical encounters.

Perspective-taking is two-sided: Misunderstandings between people with Asperger's syndrome and their family members / B. HEASMAN in Autism, 22-6 (August 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 22-6 (August 2018) . - p.740-750 Titre : Perspective-taking is two-sided: Misunderstandings between people with Asperger's syndrome and their family members Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : B. HEASMAN, Auteur ; A. GILLESPIE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.740-750 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asperger's syndrome  family relationships  methodology  misunderstanding  mixed methods  perspective-taking Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Misunderstandings are social in nature, always having two sides. Yet the misunderstandings experienced by people with Asperger's syndrome are usually studied in terms of the individual with a diagnosis, with less emphasis on social relations. We use a two-sided methodology to map out misunderstandings within 22 dyads (n = 44) consisting of people with Asperger's syndrome and their family members. Both sides of the relationship were asked about 12 topics in terms of one's rating of Self, one's rating of Other and one's predicted rating by Other. The findings show that people with Asperger's are able to predict lower scores from family members, despite disagreeing with their view, and that family members often over-estimate the extent to which their relatives with Asperger's syndrome are egocentrically anchored in their own perspective. The research demonstrates that a two-sided methodology is viable, and it uses it to identify how representations of Asperger's syndrome can both support and hinder social understanding within relationships affected by Asperger's.
