Looking through rainbow-rimmed glasses: Taking neurodiversity perspective is related to subjective well-being of autistic adults / Kinga FERENC in Autism, 27-5 (July 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 27-5 (July 2023) . - p.1348-1361 Titre : Looking through rainbow-rimmed glasses: Taking neurodiversity perspective is related to subjective well-being of autistic adults Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kinga FERENC, Auteur ; Mateusz PŁATOS, Auteur ; Katarzyna BYRKA, Auteur ; Magdalena Ewa KROL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1348-1361 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : attitude towards autism;autism spectrum conditions;in-group identification;psychological distress;self-esteem;subjective well-being Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Finding new ways of supporting the well-being of autistic adults is an essential goal for research and practice. We tested the predictive value of attitudes towards autism (as neurodiversity or as a disorder) and identification with other autistic people, on the psychological distress and self-esteem of autistic adults (n 109). Adopting a neurodiversity attitude not only predicted higher self-esteem but also served as a protective factor against the negative impact of identification with other autistic people on psychological distress. These findings show that clinicians should be sensitive to the way autistic people understand autism and the extent to which they identify with the autism community, as these factors relate to their well-being. Lay abstract Autistic adults experience a high level of distress. Finding new ways to support their well-being is an important goal for researchers and clinicians. We assessed the way autistic adults view their autism, as a disorder or as a type of mind (neurodiversity), and the level they integrate with other autistic people, and we checked how those factors contribute to their well-being. People who see autism rather as a type of mind than as a disorder had higher self-esteem. People who view themselves as more similar to other autistic people felt more stressed, but this result was not accurate for people who view autism as a type of mind. Clinicians should be sensitive to the way autistic people understand autism and to what extent they identify with the autism community, because it may relate to their well-being.
