Résumé

Résumé Les personnes autistes ont fréquemment des intérêts forts et captivants, une caractéristique reflétée dans les critères diagnostiques et présentée différemment dans la littérature quant à ses effets positifs ou négatifs. Dans une perspective d’affirmation de la neurodiversité, il est nécessaire de mieux comprendre, cultiver et soutenir toutes les formes d’intérêts autistiques dans l’éducation et au-delà. Dans cette perspective, il est également impératif de comprendre et de prendre en compte les différences dans la communication autistique, comme le souligne la théorie du « problème de la double empathie ». Cette étude interprétativiste a consisté en des entretiens semi-structurés avec 12 praticiens d’écoles spécialisées, totalisant 83 années d’expérience, afin d’explorer leurs perceptions des intérêts forts et des approches visant à soutenir la communication entre neurotypes. Une analyse thématique réflexive a identifié une série de bénéfices perçus (p. ex., amélioration du bien-être et du lien social), ainsi que des contraintes (p. ex., limitation de la progression dans d’autres domaines) liées aux intérêts forts. Il est à noter que les intérêts liés aux aspects sensoriels, qui sont peu explorés et parfois considérés comme des obstacles au développement, étaient associés à des bénéfices significatifs. Les résultats mettent également en évidence le rôle médiateur de la compréhension, de la réactivité et des approches des praticiens dans la façon dont se façonnent les aspects bénéfiques ou contraignants des intérêts forts et de la communication. L’étude souligne l’importance d’adopter une position d’affirmation de la neurodiversité à l’égard de la cognition et de la communication autistiques, en présentant des stratégies pratiques et des orientations pour de futures recherches.

Abstract Autistic people frequently have strong, compelling interests, a characteristic reflected in diagnostic criteria and framed differently across the literature in terms of its positive or negative impact. From a neurodiversity‐affirming perspective, there is a need to better understand, nurture and support all forms of autistic interests in education and beyond. Within this perspective, understanding and accommodating differences in autistic communication is also imperative, as highlighted by the ‘double empathy problem’ theory. This interpretivist study involved semi‐structured interviews with 12 special school practitioners, totalling 83 years of experience, to explore their perceptions of strong interests and approaches to supporting cross‐neurotype communication. Reflexive thematic analysis identified a range of perceived benefits (e.g., enhanced well‐being and social connection), alongside constraints (e.g., limiting progression in other areas) of strong interests. Notably, sensory‐related interests, which are underexplored and sometimes positioned as developmental barriers, were linked with meaningful benefits. Findings also highlight the mediating role of practitioner understanding, responsiveness and approaches in shaping the beneficial or constraining aspects of strong interests and communication. The study emphasises the importance of adopting a neurodiversity‐affirming stance towards autistic cognition and communication, outlining practical strategies and future research directions.
