A website developed by Sesame Street containing information about autism and resources for families was distributed to parents of children with autism (n?=?473) and parents of children without autism (n?=?707). Pre- and post-test measures of implicit bias toward children with autism; explicit attitudes and knowledge about autism; and parenting confidence, strain, and stigma were completed before and after the website was presented. Results indicated that parents of children with autism showed less implicit bias compared with those of non-autistic children during the pre-test, but the groups did not differ at the post-test. Parents without autistic children and those with more negative explicit attitudes showed a greater reduction in implicit bias from the pre- to the post-test. In addition, for parents of children with autism, a more positive change in explicit attitudes and increased knowledge from the pre- to the post-test was associated with more empowerment at the post-test. Together, our findings suggest that the online educational resources can reduce implicit bias against children with autism and help mitigate some of the psychological issues associated with parenting children with autism.

The Effects of Contact and Labeling on Attitudes Towards Individuals with Autism / C. L. DICKTER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 51-11 (November 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 51-11 (November 2021) . - p.3929-3936 Titre : The Effects of Contact and Labeling on Attitudes Towards Individuals with Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : C.

BURK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3929-3936 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Attitude  Autism Spectrum Disorder  Autistic Disorder  Humans  Peer Group  Students  Young Adult  Attitudes towards individuals with autism  Autism  Imagined contact  University students Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Typically developing young adults perceive their peers with autism more negatively than those without autism, but less so when they have experience with individuals with autism. Study 1 examined whether typically developing university students' (n?=?70) judgments of their peers would differ as a function of interpersonal contact and being labeled as autistic. Perceptions of peers with autism were consistent with stereotypes about autism and were associated with contact. In Study 2, typically developing university students (n?=?130) imagined interacting with a student with manipulations of perseverative behavior and the label of autism. Attitudes towards individuals with autism were more positive following an imagined contact scenario with a peer demonstrating perseverative behavior with a label of autism.

The Impact of an Autistic Character Media Portrayal on Autistic Stereotypes / Sreya Mallipeddi ; Cheryl L. DICKTER ; Joshua A. BURK in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-2 (February 2025)

BURK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.540-546 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research has demonstrated that neurotypical college students view their autistic peers more negatively than their neurotypical peers and endorse stereotypes related to autism. One way to improve attitudes towards autistic individuals is to induce vicarious intergroup contact through the media in which seeing the lived experiences of an autistic character may reduce stereotypes via social learning. The current study sought to examine whether exposure to an autistic character in a television show would impact the stereotypes that neurotypical college students have about autism.
