"I felt like I deserved it because I was autistic": Understanding the impact of interpersonal victimisation in the lives of autistic people / Amy PEARSON in Autism, 27-2 (February 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 27-2 (February 2023) . - p.500-511 Titre : "I felt like I deserved it because I was autistic": Understanding the impact of interpersonal victimisation in the lives of autistic people Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Amy PEARSON, Auteur ; Kieran ROSE, Auteur ; Jon REES, Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : p.500-511 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  masking  relationships  stigma  victimisation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research suggests that there is a high prevalence of interpersonal violence and victimisation within the autistic population, and that this accounts for poor mental health outcomes. This study aimed to examine the impact of interpersonal violence and victimisation on autistic adults from their own perspective and explore what helps or hinders their recovery. In total, 102 autistic adults completed either an online survey or a spoken interview about their experiences of interpersonal violence and victimisation. We analysed the data using a thematic analysis, and found four themes: (1) The usual for autism (expectations of victimisation, experiences of othering), (2) Personhood revoked: The cost of living (being part of a neurominority, trauma, masking and burnout), (3) Unpacking the baggage (impact of hermeneutical injustice) and (4) ˜If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you have to invent the universe first’ (structural inequality/power dynamics, support and community). Findings highlight the importance of considering the relationship between stigma and victimisation, and the relationship between trauma, masking, and burnout in autistic people. Reducing barriers to support and recovery are contingent on reducing structural inequality and providing better training about autistic people to frontline professionals.

“I want to fit in… but I don’t want to change myself fundamentally”: A qualitative exploration of the relationship between masking and mental health for autistic teenagers / Louise CHAPMAN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 99 (November)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 99 (November) . - 102069 Titre : “I want to fit in… but I don’t want to change myself fundamentally”: A qualitative exploration of the relationship between masking and mental health for autistic teenagers Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Louise CHAPMAN, Auteur ; Kieran ROSE, Auteur ; Laura HULL, Auteur ; William MANDY, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : 102069 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Masking  Authenticity  Mental health  Young people Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Previous research has identified an association between masking and mental health for autistic people. However, the direction of causality and mechanisms involved in this relationship are not well understood. This qualitative study aimed to investigate autistic teenagers’ experiences of masking, mental health and how the two develop and interact. Methods Twenty autistic teenagers took part in a semi-structured interview. The interviews were analysed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis. Results From the analysis, one theme was identified to conceptualise masking as described by participants. Five more inter-related themes were identified, each involved both in the relationship between masking and mental health and conversely in the relationship between authenticity and mental health. Participants described how masking and mental health both influence each other, and both are influenced by social and environmental factors. Conclusions The findings are consistent with previous research indicating that masking is associated with mental health difficulties. Our analysis presents a broader conceptualisation of masking than previously defined in the literature, placing social oppression of autistic people at the heart of the relationship between masking and mental health. The findings have implications for diagnostic services, post-diagnostic support and therapeutic interventions, highlighting the need to challenge deficit-based narratives of autism.
