For example, more severe expressions of these co-occurring internalizing disorders could mask underlying symptoms of autism. Moreover, if males are more likely to present with co-occurring externalizing disorders, their symptoms could be more disruptive, thereby being noticed by teachers and caregivers sooner than females with autism who have ...
Critical autism studies (CAS) is an interdisciplinary research field within autism studies led by autistic people. [1] [2] [3] This field is related to both disability studies and neurodiversity studies. [4] [5] [6] CAS as a discipline is led by autistic academics, and many autistic people engage with the discipline in nonacademic spaces.
The pathology paradigm advocates for supporting research into therapies, treatments, or a cure to help minimize or remove autistic traits, seeing treatment as vital to help individuals with autism, while the neurodiversity movement believes autism should be seen as a different way of being and advocates against a cure and interventions that ...
