Perception de soi et des relations d'amitié des adolescents présentant un trouble du spectre de l'autisme intégrés au secondaire ordinaire. Regards d'élèves, en France et au Québec

This study underscores the importance of taking into account diversity in ASD adolescent representational profiles and social adaptation strategies. Results underscore the importance of understanding friendship relationships and their influence on a satisfying self-perception. The diversity of self-evaluations of friendships and self-concept suggest that self-assertion and social skills training focusing on high functioning autistic youth's specific problems in high school mainstream programs might be an important pathway to successful inclusion and academic perseverance.
