A Capabilities Approach to Understanding and Supporting Autistic Adulthood

£0.00

Pellicano, Fatima, Hall, Heyworth, Lawson, Lilley, Mahony and Stears (2022)

Most research on autistic adulthood focuses narrowly on deficits and standard life outcomes, overlooking what truly matters to autistic people. This review applies Martha Nussbaum’s capabilities approach to highlight the broader social and systemic factors that shape autistic adults' quality of life. It calls for more inclusive, participatory research and support systems that empower autistic individuals to thrive on their own terms.

Disclaimer: brief reference without details to sexual violence, self-harm and suicide.
