It also discusses the shortcomings of current responses to these challenges due to the behavioral and causal heterogeneity of autism.

Autistic Self-Advocacy and the Neurodiversity Movement: Implications for Autism Early Intervention Research and Practice

Kathy Leadbitter et al.

Summary: The growth of autistic self-advocacy and the neurodiversity movement has sparked new ethical, theoretical, and ideological debates within autism theory, research, and practice. Intervention stakeholders are urged to engage with autistic perspectives and the concept of neurodiversity, reframing effectiveness, developing tools for measuring autistic priorities, and forming partnerships with autistic individuals. Reflecting on intervention practices within a neurodiversity framework is crucial for promoting natural developmental processes, coping strategies, autonomy, and well-being.
