Résumé

Contexte : Les difficultés auxquelles les jeunes autistes sont confrontés lorsqu'ils accèdent à du soutien ont été bien documentées. Toutefois, ces problèmes peuvent être exacerbés chez les jeunes autistes ayant d'autres identités marginalisées (p. ex., appartenir à un groupe ethnique minoritaire ou à un genre minoritaire), par rapport aux jeunes autistes n'ayant pas d'autres identités marginalisées. Méthodes : Nous avons adopté une approche participative qui incluait des jeunes autistes ayant de multiples identités marginalisées à chaque étape du processus de recherche. Notre équipe a interrogé 13 jeunes autistes (âgés de 16 à 25 ans) qui s'identifiaient également à d'autres identités marginalisées. Nous avons analysé les données au moyen d'une analyse thématique réflexive. Résultats : Nous avons dégagé un thème général, qui reflétait la perception selon laquelle l'accès au soutien était difficile pour tous les jeunes autistes, mais particulièrement pour ce groupe ayant de multiples identités marginalisées. Au sein du thème général, nous avons dégagé trois sous-thèmes qui fournissent des exemples de la manière dont les difficultés courantes étaient ressenties comme exacerbées pour nos participants. Premièrement, nos participants ont signalé des difficultés à obtenir des diagnostics en temps opportun, ce qui entravait l'accès à des services de soutien appropriés. Deuxièmement, ils ont exprimé un sentiment d'exclusion des structures de soutien existantes, les services ne répondant souvent pas à leurs besoins particuliers. Enfin, des barrières culturelles et linguistiques faisaient que les parents et les aidants de nos participants ne savaient pas toujours comment les aider à obtenir du soutien. Par conséquent, certains de nos participants ont dû défendre eux-mêmes leurs intérêts. Conclusion : Nos résultats soulignent la nécessité de services de soutien plus inclusifs et accessibles qui répondent aux besoins divers de tous les jeunes autistes, y compris ceux ayant de multiples identités marginalisées. Les recommandations comprennent l'offre d'une variété d'options de soutien afin de tenir compte des préférences individuelles et la mise à disposition de moyens permettant à toutes les personnes autistes de défendre leurs besoins en matière de soutien.

Background: The challenges that autistic young people face when accessing support have been well documented. However, such issues may be exacerbated for autistic young people who have additional marginalized identities (e.g., being from a minority ethnic group or minority gender) compared with autistic young people who do not have additional marginalized identities. Methods: We took a participatory approach that included autistic young people with multiple marginalized identities at every stage of the research process. Our team interviewed 13 autistic young people (aged 16–25 years) who also identified with other marginalized identities. We analyzed the data using reflexive thematic analysis. Results: We generated one superordinate theme, which reflected how accessing support was perceived to be challenging for all autistic young people but especially so for this group with multiple marginalized identities. Within the superordinate theme, we generated three subthemes that provide examples of how common challenges were felt to be exacerbated for our participants. First, our participants reported difficulties in obtaining timely diagnoses, which hindered access to appropriate support services. Second, they expressed a sense of exclusion from existing support structures, with services often failing to address their unique needs. Finally, cultural and linguistic barriers meant that our participants’ parents and caregivers did not always know how to help them get support. As a result, some of our participants had to advocate for themselves. Conclusion: Our findings highlight the need for more inclusive and accessible support services that meet the diverse needs of all autistic young people, including those with multiple marginalized identities. Recommendations include offering a variety of support options to accommodate individual preferences and providing ways to empower all autistic people to advocate for their support needs.
