Desiree R. Jones et al.

Summary: This study shows that non-autistic adults who received autism acceptance training had more positive impressions of autistic adults, fewer misconceptions and stigma about autism, but the training did not impact implicit biases. This suggests that while training programs can reduce explicit biases towards autism, implicit biases may be harder to change.
