Abstract

This perspective piece addresses critical challenges in oxytocin-based interventions for autism, drawing on neurodivergent perspectives to highlight key issues in research relevance and inclusivity. Although oxytocin has been posited to modulate social and routinized behaviors in autistic individuals, empirical findings on its efficacy remain inconsistent. We argue that these behavioral targets may reflect neurotypical biases, often disregarding autistic individuals' perspectives, thereby limiting intervention acceptability and efficacy. Past research has frequently excluded marginalized autistic populations, including individuals with intellectual disabilities or gender-diverse identities, exacerbating generalizability issues. This piece advocates for a reorientation of research objectives in autism, proposing a shift from modifying core autistic behaviors towards enhancing quality of life through participatory research. By integrating autistic perspectives into study design and outcome selection, researchers move away from deficit-oriented frameworks and instead prioritize socially valid outcomes, such as reducing anxiety and improving adaptive functioning. Further, the perspective piece critiques the reliance on animal models, which often lack translational validity due to autism's complex social and communicative dimensions. In closing, we underscore the importance of inclusive, reproducible autism research practices that align with the lived experiences and priorities of autistic individuals. Embracing participatory research, alongside rigorous methodological adjustments, can foster advancements that effectively support the well-being of the autistic community.
