Examines predictors of stress and life satisfaction in autistic adults, suggesting ways to enhance mental health.
The results suggest that autistic adults may internalize autism-related stigmas, which are linked to greater loneliness, higher stress, and lower life satisfaction. As these findings align with the PMF, we believe future studies should continue using this model. Also, we recommend that researchers should study ways to reduce minority stressors and improve the mental health of autistic adults.
