Background: Autistic adults are perceived more negatively than neurotypical (NT) adults by NT individuals. These negative perceptions can contribute to discrimination toward and social exclusion of autistic adults, which is detrimental to their mental and physical well-being. This study examined whether reading a vignette and imagining an interaction with a peer labeled as autistic would improve implicit and explicit attitudes toward autistic people.
