Personal experiences of context : Interviews with trans and non-binary autistic people (English)
Abstract [sv]

Denna studie undersöker erfarenheter hos autister, som identifierar sig som antingen trans eller ickebinära, i relation till olika sammanhang. Genom att genomföra semistrukturerade intervjuer ämnade vi att studera hur deltagarna i studien upplever en känsla av sammanhang (KASAM) i olika sammanhang. Vi använde tematisk analys för att analysera deltagarnas berättelser, vilket resulterade i tre teman: Sammanhang, Identitet och "mötet med normativitet". Vi använde även semantiska tolkningar av berättelserna för att undvika att appropriera deltagarnas berättelser.

Baserat på våra analyser av deltagarnas berättelser har vi kommit fram till att deltagarna känner sig mer bekväma i miljöer och sammanhang som de själva valt, och när de känner obehag vänder de sig ofta till maskering. Det finns också en känsla av att vilja bryta ner cis- och neuronormativa standarder för att på så sätt skapa utrymme för mångfald. Sammanfattningsvis är detta ett område som behöver ytterligare forskning, då det är ett relativt nytt fält som hittills är nästan helt outforskat. 

Abstract [en]

This study examines the experiences of autistic people who identify as either trans or nonbinary, in relation to different contexts. By doing semi-structured interviews we aimed to study how the participants in the study experience a sense of coherence (SoC) in different contexts. We subjected the participants' narratives to thematic analysis which resulted in us finding three three themes: Context, Identity and “meeting normativity”. We also made semantic interpretations of the narratives given, so as not to appropriate their stories.

Based on our analyses of the participants' stories we have found that the participants are more comfortable in environments and contexts of their own choosing, and when uncomfortable, they often turn to masking and that there is a sense of wanting to dissipate gender- and neuronormative standards, so as to make room for diversity. In conclusion, this is a field that needs further research, being a relatively new field that is, as of yet, almost completely unexplored.
