Résumé

Le syndrome d’Asperger a été introduit comme catégorie diagnostique distincte dans le DSM-4 (1994). Son absorption ultérieure dans le trouble du spectre de l’autisme dans le DSM-5 (2013) a suscité un débat vigoureux et des inquiétudes quant à la perte de l’identité Asperger unique. Les recherches existantes ont montré que des adultes ayant précédemment reçu un diagnostic d’Asperger ont exprimé un éventail diversifié d’opinions concernant les changements apportés par le DSM-5. Cette étude australienne a exploré le rôle du développement de l’identité liée au handicap dans les réponses à ce changement au moyen d’entretiens semi-structurés avec 12 adultes ayant reçu un diagnostic d’Asperger selon le DSM-4. Leurs points de vue différents ne semblaient pas être fonction de variables démographiques ; un lien a été identifié entre les points de vue des participants sur ce changement et des stades différents d’intégration aux identités Asperger et/ou autistique.

Asperger's Syndrome was introduced as a separate diagnostic category in the DSM-4 (1994). Its subsequent absorption into autism spectrum disorder in the DSM-5 (2013) led to vigorous debate and concerns about the loss of the unique Asperger's identity. Existing research has identified that adults previously diagnosed with Asperger's have expressed a diverse range of opinions regarding the DSM-5 changes. This Australian study explored the role of disability identity development in responses to the change through semi-structured interviews with 12 adults diagnosed with Asperger's under the DSM-4. Their different views did not appear to be a function of demographic variables; a connection was identified between participants' views of the change and differing stages of integration with the Asperger's and/or autism identities.
