Résumé/Présentation

Dans ce commentaire, nous décrivons comment le langage utilisé pour parler de l'autisme dans une grande partie de la recherche sur l'autisme peut refléter et perpétuer des idéologies validistes (c'est-à-dire des croyances et pratiques qui discriminent les personnes en situation de handicap), que les chercheur·euses aient ou non l'intention de produire de tels effets. En nous appuyant principalement sur les travaux de chercheur·euses autistes sur ce sujet, ainsi que sur la recherche et les théories issues des études sur le handicap et de l'analyse du discours, nous définissons le validisme et sa manifestation dans les pratiques linguistiques, fournissons un aperçu historique du langage validiste utilisé pour décrire l'autisme, et passons en revue les appels des chercheur·euses autistes et des citoyens à adopter d'autres façons de parler et d'écrire. Enfin, nous proposons plusieurs pistes spécifiques pour aider les chercheur·euses en autisme à réfléchir sur leurs choix de langage et à les ajuster.
