| مستخلص: | The stressors autistic individuals encounter and experience as traumatic may vary from non-autistics. We conducted a qualitative study to identify potential sources of trauma for autistic individuals and evaluate correspondence with a standard measure. We enrolled autistic adults (N = 14) and caregivers (N= 15) with varied adversities, levels of functioning, and socio-demographics. Participants completed standard measures of autism, traumatic exposures and stress, and qualitative interviews, which were submitted to thematic analysis. A wide range of experiences were described as traumatic. Whereas some reflected traditional traumas (e.g. maltreatment) and forms of social marginalization, others reflected conflicts between autistic characteristics and the environment (e.g. sensory trauma). All adults and caregivers described sources of trauma in interviews not captured by standardized measures. Varied stressful experiences, many not detected by a standardized measure, may have a traumatic effect on autistic individuals. Whereas some reflect commonly recognized trauma sources, others may reflect particular vulnerabilities for autistic individuals. Results have implications for assessing traumatic events and understanding their contribution to mental health inequities in the autistic population. |
