Abstract

ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by differences in social communication and the presence of restricted and repetitive patterns of behaviors and interests [American Psychiatric Association. (2013). Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders]. The prevalence rate of autism has increased in recent years, now occurring in 1 in 44 children in the United States [Maenner et al. (2021). Prevalence of autism spectrum disorder among children aged 8 years – Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network, 11 Sites, United States, 2018. Surveillance Summaries, 70(11), 1–16. https://doi.org/10.15585/mmwr.ss7011a1 ]. As more children are identified as autistic, more healthcare and educational professionals are involved in the care of these unique individuals. Understanding the challenges, as well as the strengths, of individuals on the autism spectrum is paramount to promoting the well-being of these children. One framework that aids in better understanding and supporting autistic individuals is the neurodiversity paradigm. The purpose of this practitioner review is to: (1) provide a broad overview of the tenets of the neurodiversity paradigm and (2) provide recommendations for neurodiversity affirming service provision.

促进自闭症谱系儿童福祉的神经多样性

摘要自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）是一种神经发育障碍，其特征是社交交流存在差异，行为和兴趣存在受限和重复模式[美国精神病学会。（2013）。精神障碍诊断和统计手册]。近年来，自闭症的患病率有所上升，目前美国每44名儿童中就有1名患有自闭症[Menner等人（2021）。8岁儿童自闭症谱系障碍的患病率——自闭症和发育障碍监测网络，11个站点，美国，2018。监督总结，70（11），1-16。https://doi.org/10.15585/mmwr.ss7011a1]。随着越来越多的儿童被认定为自闭症患者，越来越多的医疗和教育专业人员参与到这些独特个体的护理中。了解自闭症谱系中个体的挑战和优势对于促进这些儿童的福祉至关重要。有助于更好地理解和支持自闭症患者的一个框架是神经多样性范式。这篇从业者综述的目的是：（1）对神经多样性范式的原理进行广泛概述，（2）为神经多样性确认服务提供建议。

期刊介绍： Child Care in Practice is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that provides an international forum for professionals working in all disciplines in the provision of children’s services, including social work, social care, health care, medicine, psychology, education, the police and probationary services, and solicitors and barristers working in the family law and youth justice sectors. The strategic aims and objectives of the journal are: • To develop the knowledge base of practitioners, managers and other professionals responsible for the delivery of professional child care services. The journal seeks to contribute to the achievement of quality services and the promotion of the highest standards. • To achieve an equity of input from all disciplines working with children. The multi-disciplinary nature of the journal reflects that the key to many successful outcomes in the child care field lies in the close co-operation between different disciplines. • To raise awareness of often-neglected issues such as marginalization of ethnic minorities and problems consequent upon poverty and disability. • To keep abreast of and continue to influence local and international child care practice in response to emerging policy. • To include the views of those who are in receipt of multi-disciplinary child care services. • To welcome submissions on promising practice developments and the findings from new research to highlight the breadth of the work of the journal’s work.
