Title | “More than a mask”: A multidimensional model of autistic women’s experience of camouflaging |
Authors | Millman, R. |
Abstract | Autistic individuals may engage in various strategies to better align with non-autistic social stereotypes; most commonly termed camouflaging. Previous research has suggested that autistic women are more likely to camouflage than autistic men. However, there is debate concerning the nature of any gender differences, how best to define and measure camouflaging and its impact on health and well-being. This study explores how nine autistic women conceptualise, experience and engage in camouflaging. A narrative approach is used to analyse the data, in particular, thematic analysis and the narrative tools of broadening, burrowing and restorying. |
