Direct linkYulin Cheng; Patrick Dwyer; Connor Tom Keating – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
A growing literature suggests that there is cross-cultural variation in levels of autism-related stigma, which may partially be explained by differences in cultural orientation or autism-related knowledge between countries. This literature has relied heavily on self-report measures of explicit attitudes towards autism; little research has examined…

In this re-review, we discuss a global-wide paradox of disability rights that claims adherence to human and civil rights frameworks while cultural, linguistic, racial, and ethnic disparities in special education outcomes remain unaddressed. We propose a multi-dimensional framework for understanding how the described inequalities persist, despite…

Miller; Julia Parish-Morris – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025

Kim, So Yoon; Cheon, Jeong Eun; Gillespie-Lynch, Kristen; Grandits, Jennifer; Kim, Young-Hoon – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
