When researchers and professionals talk about autism, they commonly point out problems and risks with autism or being autistic. Several interventions are based on the idea of the problems and risks of autism. Another way of talking about autism is to point out autistic people's strengths and strategies which they use to handle barriers and problems in their lives in order to live good lives on their own terms. In this article, the researchers explore how autistic young adults formulate their own difficulties, strengths and support needs in order to get right support from support people. To be able to formulate this, autistic people need to get to know oneself and one's own way of functioning. Autistic own self-knowledge must be central when formal support people, such as social workers, formulate support and interventions aimed at helping autistic people, in order for the support/intervention to be helpful.
当研究人员和专业人士谈论自闭症时，他们通常会指出自闭症或自闭症患者存在的问题和风险。一些干预措施是基于自闭症的问题和风险的理念。另一种谈论自闭症的方式是指出自闭症患者的优势和策略，他们利用这些优势和策略来应对生活中的障碍和问题，从而按照自己的条件过上好的生活。在本文中，研究人员探讨了自闭症青年如何描述自己的困难、优势和支持需求，以便从支持他们的人那里获得适当的支持。为了能够做到这一点，自闭症患者需要了解自己和自己的运作方式。当正式的支持人员，如社会工作者，制定旨在帮助自闭症患者的支持和干预措施时，自闭症患者的自我认知必须是核心，这样支持/干预才会有帮助。
