Famously, Kuhn (1970) suggested that research is always theory-laden and located within dominant historically and culturally specific paradigms of various phenomena. While there may not have been complete paradigm shifts within autism research, one can certainly trace the rising and waning of them over time, as well as the benefits and harms that they have brought. We may be thankfully moving past the horrors of the extremes of both the psychodynamic and behaviourist paradigms regarding autism, yet much practice can still be said to be predicated upon increasingly dated behavioural and cognitive theorising. In this editorial, we explore the potential benefits of insider autistic perspectives for autism theory and its subsequent influence of practice. This piece concludes with a personal reflection from the insider perspective of the first author regarding participatory research with recommendations for how this can be improved.
