講題：Camouflaging, Autistic Sociality, and Bridging Communities: Implications for Understanding and Supporting Autism
時間：2024年05月07日（星期二）10:00 – 11:00
地點：政治大學果夫樓101室
演講大綱：
Camouflaging is a rapidly growing area of international interest in autism research. Understanding camouflaging provides a critical lens through which we can reflect on the social and mental health challenges experienced by autistic people as they navigate a neurotypical world. This talk discusses the transactional impression management framework to provide a theoretical foundation for camouflaging. It also underscores the "transactional" aspect of the model to position autistic sociality in context, proposing that autistic social challenges can (and should) be investigated in transactional and socially interdependent ways. To this end, I will share my ongoing research on autistic-neurotypical interpersonal alignment across social, emotional, and neural levels, and how this avenue may facilitate a new perspective on how autism should be conceptualized and supported.
I hope this talk will create a joint space for research and practice, facilitating stimulating discussions on how exploratory principles from these emerging research avenues may be practically and clinically implemented.
