Titre : Positive psychology in neurodiversity: An investigation of character strengths in autistic adults in the United Kingdom in a community setting Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Alicja Sabina NOCON, Auteur ; Amanda ROESTORF, Auteur ; Luz Maria Gutiérrez MENÃNDEZ, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102071 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic adults Autism spectrum Character strengths Positive Psychology Strengths-based Interventions Satisfaction with Life Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The positive psychology and neurodiversity movements both aim to promote and improve wellbeing through strengths-based approaches. However, little is known about how positive psychology can support the wellbeing of autistic people. The present study investigated character strengths profiles as a potential tool to identify strengths-based interventions that could enhance wellbeing outcomes for autistic adults. To our knowledge, this is first study to use this method as a possible way of improving the wellbeing of autistic adults in the community in the UK. Method Forty-seven self-reported formally diagnosed (83%) and self-identifying (17%) autistic adults completed online self-rated standardised questionnaires about their character strengths and life satisfaction. Descriptive statistics and correlational analyses were used to evaluate the profile of character strengths and their relationship to overall life satisfaction. Results Character strengths most frequently reported by autistic adults were Honesty, Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence, Love of Learning, Fairness, and Kindness. Higher levels of life satisfaction were associated with character strengths of Gratitude, Hope, and Honesty. Conclusions The most frequent character strengths were consistent with autistic traits reported in the wider body of autism literature, such as intense interests and strong attention to detail. The present study provides preliminary findings and recommendations for potential future strengths-based interventions that could enhance life satisfaction of autistic adults in a community setting. Further investigation with larger samples is needed to replicate the emerging findings on this topic.
