‘I’m really glad this is developmental’: Autism and social comparisons – an interpretative phenomenological analysis / Jaci C. HUWS in Autism, 19-1 (January 2015)
[article]
Titre : ‘I’m really glad this is developmental’: Autism and social comparisons – an interpretative phenomenological analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jaci C. HUWS, Auteur ; Robert S.P. JONES, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.84-90 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder interpretative phenomenological analysis qualitative social comparison young people Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The present qualitative study comprised interviews with nine young people with autism (aged 16–21 years) about their perceptions of autism. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis, three underlying themes were illuminated, and all these formed the superordinate theme Making Comparisons: (a) Changes over time: ‘I’m really glad this is developmental’; (b) Degrees of autism: ‘They’ve got it really bad’; and (c) Degrees of ability: ‘I’m not really disabled-disabled’. Such comparisons were not explicitly sought at the outset of the study, and instead emerged from their conceptualisations of the autism concept. When comparing how they perceived themselves now, and how they perceived themselves in the past, the young people viewed themselves more positively in the present. In addition, when making comparisons with other people with autism, they tended to locate themselves as being in a better position than others were. The perspective of being in a more fortunate position because of heightened abilities also emerged from the comparisons made with people who did not have autism. Furthermore, similar comparisons were made when autism was compared to disability, with autism being evaluated as being more favourable than what was termed ‘proper’ disability. The results of this study are discussed in relation to the existent social comparison literature.
