In recent policies, it is assumed that communities welcome the inclusion of young people with intellectual disability. However, little is known about perspectives of young people themselves. This article reports on research that sought to address this gap. Young people with intellectual disability living in three Australian small town communities participated in pictorial mapping and photo-rich methods to explore belonging and exclusion and links between these. Young people's feelings of comfort and safety with local spaces and people were important for their sense of belonging. Emplaced relationships with family and some friends were key to strong belonging, as were positive attachments to disability support workers and spaces. Social exclusion, either from particular places or more generally, was keenly felt. Young people's confidence, willingness to enter social spaces and relationships were magnified by ways that systems responded to their impairment, at worst fracturing their sense of feeling welcome and included.
在最近的政策中，人们假设社区欢迎接纳智障青年。然而，对于年轻人自己的观点却知之甚少。本文报告了一项旨在填补这一空白的研究。生活在澳大利亚三个小镇社区的智障青年参与了图片映射和富图方法，以探讨归属感和排斥感以及它们之间的联系。年轻人对当地空间和人员的舒适和安全感对他们的归属感很重要。与家人和一些朋友的关系是强烈归属感的关键，对残疾支持工作者和空间的积极依恋也是如此。来自特定地方或更普遍的社会排斥感被深切感受到。年轻人的信心、愿意进入社会空间和人际关系的意愿，因系统对他们的残障的反应方式而放大，最坏的情况是破坏了他们被欢迎和包容的感觉。
