No solo han votado NO a medidas necesarias para una vida digna. También han APLAUDIDO cuando esas medidas y ayudas no han salido adelante Han APLAUDIDO los desahucios, los fondos buitre y la especulación. Siempre ha sido obvio de qué lado están. Y si eres clase trabajadora, no es del tuyo.

Identifying as Autistic Without a Formal Diagnosis: Who Self-Identifies as Autistic and Why? by Ahuvia et al. 2026 finds that self-identifying autistic adults are similar to dxed autistic adults but face barriers to accessing services. NEW FREE journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Abstract for the paper: "Identifying as Autistic Without a Formal Diagnosis: Who Self-Identifies as Autistic and Why? It reads: Adults increasingly self-identify as autistic without a formal diagnosis, yet little research has systematically investigated (a) the unique characteristics, experiences, and needs of self-identifying adults and (b) their preferences regarding diagnosis. Understanding the unique needs and preferences of self-identifying adults is necessary to better support them. We conducted a cross-sectional, mixed-methods study of US autistic adults who either self-identified as autistic or had a formal autism diagnosis, recruited via the survey platofrm Prolific. Participants were compared on (a) demographic characteristics, (b) autistic traits and experiences, (c) psychosocial outcomes, (d) support needs, and (e) beliefs about autism. Moreover, self-identifying participants reported whether they wanted a diagnosis, why or why not, and what barriers they faced. Self-identifying autistic adults were similar to diagnosed adults in autistic traits, including diagnostic traits. However, self-identifying autistic adults different from diagnosed adults in significant ways. Self-identifying adults were more likely to be cisgender female, experienced worse mental well-being, were more likely to experience unmet support needs, and faced unique barriers to receiving support (most frequently a lack of resources). The majority (68.7%) of self-identifying adults wanted a formal diagnosis but faced barriers in doing so. Self-identifying adults named a number of reasons for wanting a diagnosis (e.g., validation, access to certain services), but also grounds for hesitation (e.g., fear of stigma and discrimination). Adults who self-identify as autistic are similar to diagnosed adults in their autistic traits but face more barriers to accessing services and may be uniquely vulnerable to experiencing adverse psychosocial outcomes.

“I’m Kind of Stuck in the Middle. I Don’t Know Where to Go”: Race, Autism, & Intersectional Stigma Among Black & White Autistic Adults by Jones & team explored how intersecting identities shapes autistic adults' experience of stigma & marginalization. NEW FREE journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Abstract for the paper: “I’m Kind of Stuck in the Middle. I Don’t Know Where to Go”: Race, Autism, and Intersectional Stigma Among Black and White Autistic Adults. It reads: Autistic adults frequently experience social stigma, which may be compounded by additional marginalized identities such as race, gender, and sexual orientation. Black autistic adults, may face unique challenges at the intersection of racial bias and autism stigma. This study qualitative methods to explore how intersecting identities shape autistic adults' experiences of stigma and marginalization, with an emphasis on Black autistic adults. 32 autistic adults (16 Black and 16 White) completed a semi-structured interview regarding their social experiences. Participants shared recent stories of peer exclusion, acceptance, discrimination, and support that they had experienced, as well as their feelings surrounding these events. Themes explored the unique impact of stigma on those with intersecting identities. Specifically, these themes included: 1) identity-based discrimination shaped by race, gender, and LGBTQ+ status; 2) challenges in obtaining and processing an autism diagnosis; and 3) difficulties navigating personal identity, particularly among Black autistic participants. Black participants often described layered forms of exclusion related to both their race and autistic traits. Across racial groups, women and LGBTQ+ participants also reported distinct forms of marginalization and erasure. These findings highlight how autism stigma intersects with other marginalized identities to shape social experiences. Black autistic adults, along with autistic women and LGBTQ+ autistic people, may encounter compounded barriers to acccptance, identity development, and belonging. These results underscore the need for more inclusive research and supports that attend to the diversity of autistic experiences.
