Autistic Intelligence: Interaction, Individuality, and the Challenges of Diagnosis by Maynard and Turowetz (2022) addresses the importance of exploring language used in interactions during the ...diagnostic process of autism spectrum disorder. The authors analyze interaction in order to clarify the ambiguity in understanding autism that exists across several fields of study. Drawing on their sociological backgrounds, the authors use an ethnomethodological conversation analytic approach to show that interaction has been overlooked in the autism diagnostic process. This research makes an important contribution to existing conversation analytic and psychological literature by reframing autism spectrum disorder as a difference rather than a deficit.
Autism is a widespread developmental disorder that has plagued human beings for a long time. It is complex and special, and mostly occurs in children. Regardless of the etiology, diagnosis and ...treatment intervention of autism, it is closely related to the family of autistic patients. Therefore, this article will focus on the perspective of the family. What’s more, it will analyze the close relationship between the family and autism from the etiology and other aspects. This article tries to maximize the positive role of the family in the process of autism from onset to treatment, and reduce the negative impact of the family in the whole process. The aim is to popularize autism related knowledge. More families can understand what autism is. And measures can be taken as soon as possible. The direction of cooperation treatment will be pointed out for the families of autistic patients. At the same time, it can provide a certain basis for the future research of autism, and promote the development of autism related theory and practice.
We used Framework Analysis to investigate the female autism phenotype and its impact upon the under-recognition of autism spectrum conditions (ASC) in girls and women. Fourteen women with ASC (aged ...22–30 years) diagnosed in late adolescence or adulthood gave in-depth accounts of: ‘pretending to be normal’; of how their gender led various professionals to miss their ASC; and of conflicts between ASC and a traditional feminine identity. Experiences of sexual abuse were widespread in this sample, partially reflecting specific vulnerabilities from being a female with undiagnosed ASC. Training would improve teachers’ and clinicians’ recognition of ASC in females, so that timely identification can mitigate risks and promote wellbeing of girls and women on the autism spectrum.
