Résumé/Présentation

La montée rapide de la littérature sur "l'autisme féminin" mérite une analyse critique en raison de ses implications pour les femmes et les filles ainsi que pour la compréhension de la neurodiversité. Nous avons cherché à explorer ces implications, ainsi que les ramifications institutionnelles et idéologiques plus larges, en examinant comment l'autisme féminin est construit dans les pratiques professionnelles. Une analyse discursive foucaldienne a été réalisée à partir de descriptions de l'autisme féminin dans des rapports et des ressources fournies par des cliniciens basés au Royaume-Uni. L'autisme féminin était présenté dans ces textes comme une avancée des connaissances médico-scientifiques et de l'égalité des sexes, son identification chez les femmes et les filles étant considérée comme cruciale pour leur épanouissement personnel. Cependant, en tenant compte des dynamiques de pouvoir en jeu, un récit plus complexe s'est développé, dans lequel la construction de l'autisme féminin étend la portée du "regard expert" en élargissant la catégorie de l'autisme tout en reproduisant les normes patriarcales et en renforçant les conceptions hégémoniques et binaires du genre. De nature interprétative, notre analyse vise à troubler l'autisme féminin, dans le but d'encourager un engagement théorique féministe critique ainsi qu'une pratique clinique réfléchie.
