'Am I gonna regret this?': The experiences of diagnostic disclosure in autistic adults / Sheena K. AU-YEUNG in Autism, 29-8 (August 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 29-8 (August 2025) . - p.2181-2192 Titre : 'Am I gonna regret this?': The experiences of diagnostic disclosure in autistic adults Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sheena K. AU-YEUNG, Auteur ; Megan FREETH, Auteur ; Andrew R. THOMPSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2181-2192 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults  autism  disclosure  IPA  qualitative Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : An increasing number of people receive autism diagnoses in adulthood, and there are few studies investigating autistic adults' experiences of disclosing their diagnosis. This study sought to understand autistic adults' experiences of diagnostic disclosure using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Twelve autistic adults, who received their diagnosis in adulthood, participated in one-to-one semi-structured interviews exploring their experiences of diagnostic disclosure. Quality control and reflexivity procedures were used to ensure rigour. Four group experiential themes and nine subthemes emerged: (1) 'Functions of Disclosure' (subthemes: i. Accessing Support; ii. Becoming Myself; iii. Activism and its Burden); (2) 'Approaching the Conversation' (Subthemes: i. Managing Disclosure and Reactions; ii. Disclosure Started Pre-Diagnosis; iii. Impact on Others); (3) 'Negative Effects of Preconceptions' (Subthemes: i. Disbelief and Imposter Syndrome; ii. Not Having My Needs Met; iii. Caution and Avoidance), and (4) 'Acceptance, Openness and Finding Community'. Disclosure served multiple functions for the autistic participants. There was variability in the support that autistic participants received in preparation for disclosing the diagnosis. More consistent post-diagnostic support is required to engage newly diagnosed autistic adults in considering the practicalities and potential consequences of disclosure, its benefits and challenges.Lay Summary An increasing number of people are receiving diagnoses of autism in adulthood. However, there are few studies investigating autistic adults' experiences of 'disclosure', that is, telling others about their autism diagnosis. The aim of this study is to understand autistic adults' experiences of telling other people that they are autistic after receiving a diagnosis during adulthood. Twelve autistic adults were interviewed about their experiences of disclosure. The interviews showed that autistic people disclose to access support, be themselves and to help others. To disclose, autistic people had to make decisions about what information to share and how to handle people?s reactions. Some people started telling others about their potential diagnosis before being formally diagnosed. Disclosure has an impact on people receiving the news of disclosure. Many autistic people experienced not being believed, resulting in unmet needs. This led them to be more careful about future disclosure. However, disclosure also led to some positive experiences, where autistic people felt listened to and accepted by those they disclosed to. This led to receiving support and feeling part of a community. It is recommended that clinicians and autism service providers include discussions about disclosure as part of routine post-diagnostic support.

Autistic women?s experiences of self-compassion after receiving their diagnosis in adulthood / Rosemarie B. WILSON in Autism, 27-5 (July 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 27-5 (July 2023) . - p.1336-1347 Titre : Autistic women?s experiences of self-compassion after receiving their diagnosis in adulthood Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rosemarie B.

This study investigated autistic women s experiences of self-compassion after receiving their diagnosis in adulthood. Eleven autistic women completed semi-structured interviews analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Three super-ordinate themes were identified: "Disconnect between the autistic self and experience of societal expectations" (the burden of conformity; autism is misunderstood; social challenges; mental health impact); "Unmasking: the process of self-understanding" (autonomy and self-compassion; validation and grief) and "Impact on relationships" (diagnosis disclosure dilemmas; connection and understanding). Frustration with society?s misconceptions of autism and unhelpful thinking styles were presented as barriers to self-compassion. Most participants reported that their diagnosis had led to the development of a greater sense of self-understanding, which facilitated self-compassion. Some participants suggested their own increased understanding of autism facilitated their compassion towards others. Findings from this study have clinical implications for increasing understanding about autistic women s experiences of self-compassion and possibly ways to facilitate its development, to enhance well-being. Lay abstract Knowledge of autistic individuals' experiences of self-compassion is very limited. This study investigated autistic women s experiences of self-compassion after receiving their diagnosis in adulthood. Eleven autistic women were interviewed about their experiences of receiving their diagnosis in adulthood and their experiences of self-compassion. Systematic analysis of the interview transcripts revealed common themes in the participants' experiences. Participants reported that their autism diagnosis helped them to better understand themselves, particularly when reflecting on problematic past experiences. After receiving an autism diagnosis, participants described being able to relate to themselves with greater self-kindness compared to previous self-criticism; this included allowing themselves to assert their needs and engage in self-care activities. Participants spoke about having difficult social experiences, including feeling pressure to conform to expectations in society and often feeling misunderstood. The findings highlight the barriers autistic women face obtaining their diagnoses and demonstrate the need for autism training for professionals to support early identification. Findings from this study suggest that interventions aimed at developing self-compassion could support and enhance autistic women s well-being.

This qualitative study explored adults' with autism experiences of coming to understand and address their gender dysphoria (GD). Data were collected and analysed using Grounded Theory. Ten adults with autism and GD undertook semi-structured interviews. A tentative theoretical framework of common processes involved in understanding and addressing GD for individuals with autism was developed. The experience is captured in the core category-Conflict versus Congruence. A key finding was the impact of autism as a barrier but sometimes a protective factor in participants' understanding and addressing GD. Participants appeared to achieve greater personal congruence and wellbeing upon transition. Nevertheless, conflicts remained as they navigated the social world with a continuing fear of hostility and sense of difference due to having two stigmatised identities.

How healthcare systems are experienced by autistic adults in the United Kingdom: A meta-ethnography / Megan FREETH ; Andrew R. THOMPSON in Autism, 28-9 (September 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 28-9 (September 2024) . - p.2166-2178 Titre : How healthcare systems are experienced by autistic adults in the United Kingdom: A meta-ethnography Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Megan FREETH, Auteur ; Andrew R.

A meta-ethnographic approach was used to conduct a review of the existing literature regarding autistic adults' experiences of accessing healthcare. Four databases were systematically searched for qualitative and mixed-method studies reporting on the experiences of autistic adults without a co-occurring learning disability accessing adult healthcare services within the United Kingdom. Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria, and seven steps were used to systematically extract the data and then generate novel themes. Three superordinate themes were identified: Professionals' lack of knowledge can be damaging, Need to reduce processing demands and Adaptation to improve engagement. This review highlights the wide-reaching damaging impact misdiagnosis, inadequate or inappropriate treatment, overwhelming environments and inaccessible systems can have on the well-being and ability of autistic adults to engage with treatment. The lack of autism knowledge and understanding experienced in interactions with healthcare professionals, along with autistic adult?s own communication and sensory processing differences, demonstrates the need for widely delivered training co-produced with autistic adults alongside bespoke and person-centred adaptations. Lay abstract Autistic adults are more likely to experience mental and physical health difficulties, and yet can find it difficult to get the support that they need. A meta-ethnographic approach was used to review the existing research on autistic adults' experiences of accessing healthcare. Four databases were searched for qualitative and mixed-method studies which looked at the experiences of autistic adults who did not also have a learning disability when using healthcare services in the United Kingdom. Fifteen papers met the criteria to be included, and seven steps were used to analyse the information and develop new themes. Three main themes were identified: Professionals' lack of knowledge can be damaging, Need to reduce processing demands and Adaptation to improve engagement. This review highlights how damaging misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatment, overwhelming environments and systems that are difficult to access can have on the well-being of autistic adults.

'I?m not just being difficult .?.?. I?m finding it difficult': A qualitative approach to understanding experiences of autistic parents when interacting with statutory services regarding their autistic child / Sarah RADEV in Autism, 28-6 (June 2024)

This study investigates the experiences of autistic parents' interactions with statutory services, including education and healthcare, in relation to their autistic children. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to investigate their experiences. Ten autistic mothers of autistic children in mainstream education completed semi-structured interviews, which were co-developed with autistic parents. Two superordinate themes were developed: (1) The wider system is the problem and (2) Feeling judged and stigmatised. While Theme 1 demonstrates some similarities in the experiences of autistic parents to that of non-autistic parents in previous studies, theme 2 is unique to autistic parents who may feel that they are being treated differently. These themes indicate the importance of training encouraging a strength-based rather than deficit-based understanding of autism. Participants highlighted the wider system is the problem rather than individual professionals, and that it places some families at a disadvantage. Lay abstract Becoming a parent is an important part of adult life for many people, including autistic people. Many parents of autistic children can find getting the right support for their children difficult. Knowledge is currently poor about how this is experienced by parents who are also autistic themselves. The main researcher is also an autistic parent to an autistic child and other experts by experience were consulted in the development of the study. Ten autistic mothers with autistic children in mainstream education were interviewed about their experiences of seeking support for their autistic children from services such as healthcare and education. Participants talked about finding the overall system being the main problem, rather than the individuals working in it, and about needing to fight to get the right support for their children. These are points that non-autistic parents have also raised before. Participants also talked about feeling judged and stigmatised for being autistic, and about struggling to manage sensory and communication difficulties, which is something that has not been talked about by non-autistic parents. Improving services to offer better support to autistic families is important and can be achieved through better training. This training should be developed and run by autistic adults and focus on positive aspects of autism, rather than negative.
