关于自闭症大学生相对于其他诊断的学生被污名化的程度仍然知之甚少。我们对纽约市（n = 633）和贝鲁特（n = 274）的学生进行了在线调查。被诊断为危险的学生（例如，精神病）比被诊断为不太危险的学生（例如，自闭症）。破坏性的自闭症行为（通过小插曲描述）引起更多的耻辱比撤回的行为。感知到的孤独感可以预测孤独症的耻辱感。对不平等的更大接受，更少的开放性和更低的认知同理心与对大多数情况的更高耻辱感同时发生。诊断标签通常比行为更少被污名化。研究结果表明，需要采取干预措施，以减少对不同的诊断在大学社区的耻辱。
Little remains known about the degree to which autistic university students are stigmatized relative to students with other diagnoses. We conducted an online survey with students in New York City (n = 633) and Beirut (n = 274). Students with diagnoses that were perceived as dangerous (e.g., psychopathy) were more stigmatized than students with diagnoses that were perceived as less dangerous (e.g., autism). Disruptive autistic behaviors (described via vignettes) evoked more stigma than withdrawn behaviors. Perceived dangerousness predicted autism stigma. Greater acceptance of inequality, less openness, and lower cognitive empathy co-occurred with heightened stigma towards most conditions. Diagnostic labels were typically less stigmatized than behaviors. Findings suggest that interventions are needed to decrease stigma towards varied diagnoses in collegiate communities.
