Abstract

Background: Autistic people in France have called for community education to reduce autism stigma. As such, training is needed to help university students appreciate autistic peers and autistic people they may work with in their future careers.

Methods: We adapted an autistic-affirming training from a training developed in other cultural contexts and evaluated it with 107 university students in France using a pretest-post-test design.

Results: Questionnaire responses suggested that our brief online training helped improve attitudes toward inclusion, autism knowledge, and stigma among future educators and psychologists in France. Participants' open-ended definitions of autism revealed increased alignment with the neurodiversity movement after training.

Conclusions: Findings suggest that wider-scale autistic-led adaptations of autism trainings like the one described in this report could begin to ameliorate autism stigma in France.

在亟需的背景下对自闭症培训进行评估：法国案例。

背景：法国的自闭症患者呼吁开展社区教育，以减少对自闭症的偏见。因此，需要开展培训，帮助大学生欣赏自闭症同龄人以及他们在未来职业生涯中可能与之共事的自闭症患者：方法：我们从其他文化背景下开发的培训中改编了一项自闭症肯定培训，并采用前测-后测设计对法国的 107 名大学生进行了评估：问卷调查结果表明，我们的简短在线培训有助于改善法国未来教育工作者和心理学家的包容态度、自闭症知识和耻辱感。参与者对自闭症的开放式定义显示，培训后他们与神经多样性运动的一致性有所提高：研究结果表明，由自闭症患者主导的更大规模的自闭症培训（如本报告所述）可以开始改善法国的自闭症羞辱现象。
