The voices of people with autism spectrum disorder should be heard

1 Dec 1399
In a study of autism workers, Dora Remaker, an autism scientist at Portland State University (PSU), found that burnout is not always high for an autistic person. Instead, the need to cover up the behaviors of people with autism spectrum disorder on a work day with other people can lead to chronic burnout, reduced ability to tolerate stimuli such as light or sound, and loss of skills. Shown from the comments of social networks.
This work, released by the Ray Maker team last month, highlights a new trend in autism research. Ray Maker and his colleagues are part of research teams with members with autism. These groups shift their focus from autism research to cause-to-action.
Christina Nicolaides, co-author of the burnout study and professor at the School of Social Work at PSU, has an adult son with autism. Although much research on autism has focused on children, autistic adults who reached puberty in the 1990s and early 2000s are joining the field and focusing their experience.
 
"Literally no research has been done ... even if it has been talked about in society forever," says Ray Maker, before studying burnout. In interviews with dozens of people with autism, Ray Maker and his colleagues found that having a workplace does not require workers to cover the characteristics of people with autism spectrum disorder and be recognized as autistic.
Such studies usually involve the search for autism-related genes or attempts to collect autism behaviors in mouse models. Connie Kasari, a psychologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, said many researchers who do so have never even seen the situation. "They do not understand that social development in mice is not at all like social development in humans."
 
Researchers may be surprised at some of the adult policies on autism. For example, autism is called a "disorder." Autism auditors often comment on the language of manuscripts, including whether the information is comprehensible.
"Voices of autism need to be heard and confirmed first," say researchers. "Adults with autism have a right and perhaps a duty to speak for themselves," he said.
