Ableist microaggressions, which are subtle forms of discrimination against people with disabilities, significantly impact autistic adults. These microaggressions lead to social camouflage, where autistic individuals hide their traits to fit in with non-autistic groups, often resulting in negative mental health effects. A study involving 330 autistic adults explored how autism acceptance and loneliness influence this camouflage behavior. The findings indicate that ableist microaggressions predict three camouflage strategies: compensation, masking, and assimilation. Loneliness was also linked to the assimilation strategy. The research revealed that lower acceptance from others and higher loneliness mediated the relationship between microaggressions and assimilation, while self-acceptance of autism did not significantly affect this relationship. The study emphasizes that societal judgments and treatment of autistic individuals play a crucial role in their need to disguise their identity, suggesting that improving societal perceptions of autism is essential for supporting autistic adults.
