For #WeeklyPapers this week, I've chosen to present a new paper that is explicitly about autistic men.
While there is a lot of autism work which has mostly/all male samples, looking at male lived experiences *in their own right* is still surprisingly rare!

"What does success mean for autistic men? A narrative exploration of self-determination" (2020) Webster & Garvis, ADLI
Most of my work has focussed on non-male autistic people, so I'm looking forward to reading qual work that looks at male exps w/gender lens, not as 'default'

Abstract
Most outcome work assumes/shows neg adult outcomes, so want to talk to aut men who see themselves as successful. 10 men interviewed, self-determination theory emerged as key theoretical lens. Success felt to come from work, self-awareness & self-reflection.

Lit Review
Autistic women are historically under-researched and their experiences under-represented
Esp lack of lifespan work, which is important as being bio female carries specific health events and risks, esp around reproductive trajectories

Autism is a lifelong condition, but nearly all work focusses on children and adolescents, some early adulthood.
All adults experience decline in health and abilities as they age, but we don't know if/how this differs for those on the spectrum
