Résumé

Les personnes autistes ont historiquement été décrites comme incapables de développer un sens plus profond de la conscience de soi, et les conceptions autistes de la conscience de soi ont été largement négligées. L'objectif de cette étude est d'explorer la manière dont de jeunes adultes autistes tentent de comprendre leur fonctionnement et qui ils sont, ou de développer leur sens de la conscience de soi, dans les contextes du travail et de la vie privée. Dans 12 entretiens qualitatifs menés auprès de quatre adultes autistes sans difficultés d'apprentissage, nous avons identifié un riche ensemble de réflexions sur le fait de se connaître et de s'accepter. Le thème général de la connaissance de soi comporte trois sous-thèmes : apprendre à partir d'expériences antérieures, apprendre à se connaître en s'assurant le soutien d'autres personnes, et comprendre et accepter le fonctionnement autiste. La stratégie de connaissance de soi a été utilisée par ces jeunes adultes pour les aider à mener une vie fonctionnelle dans les domaines professionnel et privé. Nos résultats montrent que les jeunes adultes autistes explorent et développent activement leur conscience de soi. Nous suggérons qu'il est important que les praticiens et les employeurs travaillant avec des personnes autistes s'engagent dans leurs parcours de conscience de soi comme partie essentielle de la compréhension et du soutien qui leur sont apportés. Résumé simplifié Lorsque les chercheurs et les professionnels parlent de l'autisme, ils soulignent couramment les problèmes et les risques liés à l'autisme ou au fait d'être autiste. Plusieurs interventions reposent sur l'idée des problèmes et des risques de l'autisme. Une autre manière de parler de l'autisme consiste à souligner les forces et les stratégies des personnes autistes, qu'elles utilisent pour gérer les obstacles et les problèmes dans leur vie afin de mener une bonne vie selon leurs propres conditions. Dans cet article, les chercheurs examinent comment de jeunes adultes autistes formulent leurs propres difficultés, forces et besoins de soutien afin d'obtenir le soutien adéquat de la part des personnes qui les soutiennent. Pour pouvoir formuler cela, les personnes autistes doivent apprendre à se connaître elles-mêmes et à connaître leur propre manière de fonctionner. La propre connaissance de soi des personnes autistes doit être centrale lorsque les personnes fournissant un soutien formel, telles que les travailleurs sociaux, formulent le soutien et les interventions visant à aider les personnes autistes, afin que le soutien ou l'intervention soit utile.

Autistic people have historically been described as incapable of developing a deeper sense of self-awareness, and autistic understandings of self-awareness have been largely disregarded. The aim of this study is to explore the way young autistic adults try to understand their functionality and who they are, or to develop their sense of self-awareness, in work and in private life contexts. In 12 qualitative interviews conducted with four autistic adults without learning difficulties, we identified a rich set of reflections on knowing and accepting oneself. The overarching theme of self-knowledge has three subthemes: learning from previous experiences, learning about oneself by securing the support of others, and understanding and accepting autistic functionality. The strategy of self-knowledge was used by these young adults to help them achieve functional lives in the work and private domains. Our results show that young autistic adults both actively explore and develop their self-awareness. We suggest that it is important for practitioners and employers working with autistic individuals to engage with their journeys of self-awareness as a vital part of understanding and supporting them. Lay abstract When researchers and professionals talk about autism, they commonly point out problems and risks with autism or being autistic. Several interventions are based on the idea of the problems and risks of autism. Another way of talking about autism is to point out autistic people’s strengths and strategies which they use to handle barriers and problems in their lives in order to live good lives on their own terms. In this article, the researchers explore how autistic young adults formulate their own difficulties, strengths and support needs in order to get right support from support people. To be able to formulate this, autistic people need to get to know oneself and one’s own way of functioning. Autistic own self-knowledge must be central when formal support people, such as social workers, formulate support and interventions aimed at helping autistic people, in order for the support/intervention to be helpful.
