Stigma and Forgiveness in Ghanaian Mothers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) / M. OTI-BOADI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-4 (April 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-4 (April 2020) . - p.1391-1400 Titre : Stigma and Forgiveness in Ghanaian Mothers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : M. OTI-BOADI, Auteur ; E. DANKYI, Auteur ; C. O. KWAKYE-NUAKO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1391-1400 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asd  Coping  Forgiveness  Mothers  Stigma Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study explored stigma experiences of mothers of children with ASD and forgiveness as their coping response. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 6 mothers of children with ASD. Results of this study found several noteworthy themes including, feelings of mother, family/societal reactions, forgiveness factors, and impact of forgiveness. Mothers reported significant stigmatization from families and society. Some expressed their feelings towards themselves, others and God, and finally recounted the use of forgiveness as a coping resource which contributed significantly to their well-being. Findings from this study contribute to the emerging literature on forgiveness as a coping resource for persons who are offended. Implications for clinical practice, intervention and policy are discussed.

Stigma and knowledge about autism in Brazil: A psychometric and intervention study / Mônia Aparecida DA SILVA ; Paulo Felipe Ribeiro BANDEIRA ; Kristen GILLESPIE-LYNCH ; Regina Basso ZANON in Autism, 28-1 (January 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 28-1 (January 2024) . - p.215?228 Titre : Stigma and knowledge about autism in Brazil: A psychometric and intervention study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Mônia Aparecida DA SILVA, Auteur ; Paulo Felipe Ribeiro BANDEIRA, Auteur ; Kristen GILLESPIE-LYNCH, Auteur ; Regina Basso ZANON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.215?228 Mots-clés : autism  knowledge  network analysis  stigma  scales Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Researchers from Brazil reached out to a researcher in the United States to co-develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a Brazilian version of an autism stigma (social distance) scale and a Participatory Autism Knowledge-Measure (Study 1) and to assess the impact of an online training on autism stigma and knowledge in a Brazilian sample (Study 2). In a psychometric study, 532 Brazilians completed the stigma (EARPA) while 510 completed the knowledge scale (ECAT). In Study 2, 79 Brazilians (mostly white, female university students) participated in a quasi-experimental training evaluation. Exploratory graph analysis revealed one cluster on the EARPA and four clusters on the ECAT (intervention, diagnosis and etiology; autism in adulthood; repetitive behaviors and restricted interests; and socio-communicative development). The training evaluation revealed improvements across most EARPA and ECAT items, as well as changes in all centrality indicators assessed through the network analysis, suggesting that autism stigma and knowledge improved with training. Both scales are promising instruments and may be useful in future Brazilian and cross-cultural studies. The training could be used more widely to improve autism understanding in Brazil. Further cultural adaptations will likely be needed to make the training well-suited to the myriad cultural contexts present within Brazil. Lay abstract To promote the full inclusion of autistic people, we must change the knowledge and attitudes of non-autistic individuals. Unfortunately, access to autism information and support remains limited in Brazil, and stigma is also common. Brazilian researchers reached out to a researcher in the United States to co-develop Brazilian surveys to measure autism stigma and knowledge. Together, they made Brazilian versions of stigma and knowledge surveys which autistic people in the United States had helped make. They also adapted an online autism training used in other countries with help from three Brazilian autistic people and the mother of an autistic child. They used the new measures to see if the autism training improved autism stigma and knowledge among Brazilians. The surveys, called EARPA and ECAT in Brazil, were translated into Portuguese in a previous study. In the first study in this article, 532 Brazilians completed the stigma measure and 510 completed the knowledge measure. The researchers used exploratory graph analysis, which uses the connections between items in a survey to understand which items belong together. Seventy-nine Brazilians participated in the training. They were mostly white, female university students. The EGA showed that the stigma survey measured one big idea while the knowledge survey measured four ideas: diagnosis/cause; socio-communicative development; stimming and special interests; and autism in adulthood. Both scales are promising and may be helpful in future Brazilian and cross-cultural studies about autism. Participants reported more knowledge and less stigma after the autism training, which has been found in other countries too.

Online training module to reduce stigma and improve knowledge about autism in pre-service teachers: Cross-cultural comparison of Hong Kong and Canada / Jeffrey MACCORMACK ; Deondre WILLIAMS ; Theresa ANTONY ; Bella KOFNER ; Kristen GILLESPIE-LYNCH in Research in Autism, 126 (August 2025)

Little remains known about factors that shape these perspectives about autistic students cross-culturally. Using a cross-cultural sample of pre-service teachers from Hong Kong and Alberta, Canada, we aimed to evaluate if participation in an online autism training is associated with improved autism knowledge, stigma, and attitudes toward inclusion. We also explore cultural factors associated with autism stigma. A total of 55 and 57 pre-service teachers from Canada and Hong Kong, respectively, completed an online training module that included research-based information about autism and neurodiversity. Participants completed measures assessing autism knowledge, stigma, and attitudes toward inclusion before and after the training and answered open-ended questions about their perceptions of autistic people and their families. Results showed that, across countries, participation in training was associated with increased autism knowledge, more positive attitudes toward inclusion, and reduced stigma. In both countries, lower autism stigma was associated with higher autism knowledge, more confidence educating autistic people, heightened appreciation of biodiversity, and lower social dominance orientation. Despite having more prior experience educating autistic people, participants in Hong Kong reported higher autism stigma and exhibited lower autism knowledge than their counterparts in Canada. Compared to Canada, participants in Hong Kong exhibited more misconceptions and stereotypes about autism and described community members as treating autistic people and their families with less respect. Understanding educators' knowledge and attitudes toward autism cross-culturally can inform training needs and approaches that work for specific cultures.

Understanding the Experience of Stigma for Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and the Role Stigma Plays in Families’ Lives / Sydney H. KINNEAR in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-3 (March 2016)

Following Link and Phelan’s (Ann Rev Sociol 27:363–385, 2001) model, this study of 502 Simons Simplex Collection families details how different factors contribute to stigma and how each appears to increase the overall difficulty of raising a child with ASD. The model begins with the child’s behavioral symptoms and then specifies stigma processes of stereotyping, rejection, and exclusion. Autism behaviors contribute both to the difficulty families experience raising a child with autism and to the stigma processes associated with those behaviors. Stigma also plays a significant role (.282, p < .001) in predicting how difficult life is overall for parents.

The goal of this study was to explore autism understanding and stigma among university students, and general community members recruited at a state fair. Participants between 18 and 79 years of age (n = 478) completed the Autism Stigma and Knowledge Questionnaire (ASK-Q; Harrison et al., Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders 47(10):3281-3295, 2017). All ASK-Q means fell within the adequate knowledge range, indicating relatively high levels of autism knowledge and low levels of stigma. ASK-Q scores were correlated with gender, education, and self-ratings of understanding but not age. The results of this study suggest the need for continued inquiry into metrics that indicate autism understanding and stigma.
