Is Positive Reframing an Adaptive Coping Strategy? Coping as a Moderator of Stress in Middle‐Income Families During the Covid‐19 Pandemic
The COVID‐19 pandemic introduced various stressors to families globally, significantly affecting children's environments. We investigated how these circumstances influenced children's psychosocial outcomes in middle‐income families. Specifically, we examined the effects of parental stress and coping strategies on the psychosocial well‐being of children under the age of 7. Parents ( N = 153) completed questionnaires assessing family income, stress…
Neurodiversity‐Affirming Intersectional Approaches That Target Public Policy
The neurodiversity movement challenges traditional deficit‐oriented models of autism. However, inclusion efforts often prioritize individual attitudinal change over structural reform (e.g., policies and research practices) or exclude Autistic people with intersecting marginalized identities. Just research requires scientific inquiry to challenge the oppressive systems from which it emerges, and can sometimes reinforce, by directly addressing inte…
Inclusion Must Be Global, Decolonized, Culturally and Linguistically Diverse, and Anti‐Normative
In this concluding commentary for our special issue, Neurodiversity‐Affirming Intersectional Approaches that Target Public Policy: Moving the Focus from Changing Individuals to Changing Systems of Power , we seek to ameliorate the pervasive omission of nonspeaking Autistic people and those outside the Global North from research, services, and policy. In our special issue, we tried to nurture the often‐neglected intersectional roots of the neurodi…
