Résumé

Cette étude examine les expériences de filles adolescentes atteintes de troubles du spectre de l’autisme (TSA) durant l’adolescence. Des entretiens semi-structurés ont été menés avec trois dyades mère-fille et deux mères supplémentaires. Un éventail de questions couvrant les domaines physique, émotionnel, social et sexuel a été mis en évidence. Certaines de ces questions étaient similaires à celles vécues par les garçons atteints de TSA durant l’adolescence, telles que les conséquences négatives d’un diagnostic tardif, les difficultés liées à la transition vers le lycée et à l’adaptation à celui-ci, le rôle « pratique » des parents à l’adolescence, les difficultés à s’adapter aux exigences accrues des routines d’hygiène à l’adolescence, et l’importance d’apprendre les limites personnelles dans les interactions avec autrui. D’autres questions abordées étaient particulièrement pertinentes pour les filles adolescentes atteintes de TSA, telles que les difficultés à socialiser avec des filles au développement neurotypique, les questions de puberté propres au sexe, et les vulnérabilités sexuelles. Cette étude met en évidence un domaine de recherche important et constitue une étape préliminaire vers la compréhension des expériences des filles adolescentes atteintes de TSA et de leurs familles.

This study investigates the experiences of adolescent girls with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) during adolescence. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with three mother-daughter dyads and two additional mothers. A range of issues were highlighted covering physical, emotional, social and sexual domains. Some of these issues were similar to those experienced by boys with ASD during adolescence, such as negative implications of late diagnosis, challenges of transitioning to and coping with high school, 'hands-on' role of parents into adolescence, difficulties adjusting to the increased demands of adolescent hygiene routines, and the importance of learning personal boundaries in interactions with others. Other issues discussed were of particular relevance to adolescent girls with ASD, such as difficulties socialising with neurotypically developing girls, sex-specific puberty issues, and sexual vulnerabilities. This study highlights an important research area and is a preliminary step towards understanding the experiences of adolescent girls with ASD and their families.
