Myths about autism: An exploratory study using focus groups / R. P. JOHN in Autism, 22-7 (October 2018)
[article]
Titre : Myths about autism: An exploratory study using focus groups Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : R. P. JOHN, Auteur ; F. J. KNOTT, Auteur ; K. N. HARVEY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.845-854 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism beliefs focus group myths public attitudes Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Individuals with autism are often stigmatised and isolated by their typically developing peers according to parental, teacher and self-reports. While quantitative studies often report negative attitudes towards individuals with autism, it is still unclear how understandings of autism influence attitudes. In this exploratory study, misconceptions or myths about autism, that is, the cognitive component of attitudes, were examined using focus groups. Purposive sampling was used to recruit undergraduate and postgraduate students, and adults with and without experience of autism, to one of the five focus groups (n = 37). Content analysis was used to identify emergent themes. The data identified seven commonly held beliefs about individuals with autism. The first four were related to social interaction, such as that people with autism do not like to be touched. The fifth reflected the view that all individuals with autism have a special talent, and the final two concerned beliefs that people with autism are dangerous. The findings from this study demonstrate that people with varying experience or knowledge of autism often hold inaccurate beliefs about autism. These findings improve our understandings of lay beliefs about autism and will aid the development and implementation of interventions designed to improve lay knowledge of autism.
