Résumé
Trouver une communauté constitue souvent une composante essentielle de l'expérience universitaire. Avec l'augmentation du nombre d'étudiants autistes dans l'enseignement supérieur, il existe une occasion de découvrir comment cette communauté marginalisée construit de manière unique des relations, notamment compte tenu des nuances associées à leur communication et à leurs façons de trouver des personnes partageant les mêmes idées. Cette étude phénoménologique explore la manière dont des étudiants autistes à l'université favorisent la connexion sociale, dans le but de comprendre comment l'enseignement supérieur peut mieux soutenir cette population étudiante unique. Nous avons mené des entretiens avec 43 étudiants autistes de premier cycle universitaire, dans le cadre d'une étude nationale plus vaste sur la réussite des étudiants autistes à l'université. Nos résultats mettent en lumière trois façons dont les étudiants autistes à l'université favorisent la connexion sociale : participer à des espaces autistes, pratiquer l'authenticité autiste et créer des liens autour d'intérêts communs. Nous nous appuyons sur le modèle théorique d'appartenance des étudiants universitaires en situation de handicap en montrant l'importance de la modalité, de la vulnérabilité et de débouchés de niche pour favoriser la connexion entre les étudiants autistes à l'université. Nous encourageons les praticiens à créer davantage de clubs et d'espaces d'affinité permettant aux étudiants autistes de se connecter, ce qui pourrait inciter les chercheurs à explorer comment des contextes particuliers aident les étudiants autistes à créer des liens.
