Purpose Poor communication between parents and healthcare professionals can lead to delays in treatment and support for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and such communication disruption may be due to negative beliefs (stigma) providers have about those with ASD. Recent work found that autism stigma tends to be higher in the U.S. culture of honor, where children are viewed as representations of family honor, but research has not yet explored if healthcare systems may, in some way, be preventing children with ASD from receiving adequate care and support from their providers. Methods The present research tested for preliminary evidence of disruption in health communication using data from the National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs. Comparisons were made between traditional honor states in the U.S. and dignity (non-honor) states. Results Compared to dignity-oriented states, results indicated that children with ASD and their caregivers living in honor-oriented states experienced lower reported levels of mental health needs being met, poorer communication between healthcare providers and parents, and poorer communication regarding treatment options for children with ASD. Conclusion These findings present preliminary evidence that healthcare communication may not be adequate in honor regions, perhaps due to implicit biases about ASD. Future work should explore the mechanisms behind healthcare-caregiver miscommunication and where interventions could prevent such issues. |
