Gender Roles in Adults with Asperger’s Syndrome\/High-Functioning Autism <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\n researcher will present an original exploratory qualitative study \ninvestigating the intersection of adults with Asperger\u2019s \nSyndrome\/high-functioning autism and gender identity. The researcher \ngathered qualitative data through the use of\n interviews and related measures. Participants included four adults, \nranging from young adult to middle-aged, with three males and one \nfemale. Further, the researcher administered the Autism Quotient \n(Baron-Cohen, 2001), interviews in two individual sessions, demographic \nsurvey, and a graphic measure designed by the researcher for the purpose\n of assessing internal sense of conformity to gender roles along the \ngender continuum. The researcher found that the participants expressed a\n history of negative experiences relating to gender roles, especially \nwhen they found they could not conform to those roles adequately. Also, \nupon being made aware of this difficulty, they made committed efforts to\n fit in with their peers, especially in adolescence. As they matured, \nthey abandoned these efforts and prioritized their natural inclinations \nand values over pressure to conform to societal gender roles. Based on \nstudy findings, the researcher concluded that people with Asperger\u2019s \nSyndrome\/high-functioning autism may experience greater difficulty \nnavigating binary societal gender roles in comparison to their \nneurotypical peers. Future directions will also be discussed, including \nthe need for a replication of the present study focused on transgender \nadults with Asperger\u2019s Syndrome\/high-functioning autism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
