Abstract
In this Research Topic we bring together a collection of research to Break the Stigma associated with autism, by exploring the impact of autism stigma and discussing the ways in which we can combat stigma.
Autistic individuals, transgender/gender non-conforming (TGNC) autistic people (Glaves and Kolman) and by extension, their caregivers (Clarke et al.) often experience victimization, bullying, and stigmatization. The pervasiveness of this stigma is evident when reviewing interviews of young autistic adults (Marion et al.) who all experienced stigma in the form of exclusion or isolation, with many also experiencing verbal bullying. However, this stigma is not reserved for autistic people. Twenty caregivers of profoundly autistic adults reported that they experienced at least one perceived stigma, characterized by negative responses or interactions with people in the community (Clarke et al.). These stigmatizing interactions were also reported with educators, peers (Marion et al.) and clinicians (Glaves and Kolman). [1st 2 paragraphs]
