31	Askungen på bal : Tillvaron som kvinna med autism / Cinderella at the dance : Existence as a woman with autism Schultz, Emelie January 2024 (has links) The aim of this study was to explore how women who were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder as adults described their existence before and after the diagnosis. The study was conducted by analysing four women’s autobiographical texts. The texts deal with their experiences growing up without awareness of their disability, how they got diagnosed as adults and how the diagnosis impacted their lives. The study used a qualitative approach and a theoretical framework consisting of social constructionism and crip-theory. Through a thematic analysis of these women’s stories this study found that women who are diagnosed late in life experience challenges such as mental health problems, feelings of exclusion and confusion around one’s own identity. Findings also highlight the importance of early diagnosis to prevent previous mentioned challenges. Further research should be made to explore how new national guidelines for support and treatment impact individuals with autism spectrum disorder.

I Skolinspektionens aktuella granskning av sex- och samlevnadsundervisningen framkommer betydande brister. Den här studien vill öka kunskapen om pedagogers föreställningar om sexualitet och sex- och samlevnad avseende elever med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning i särskolan. Undersökningen utgörs av semistrukturerade intervjuer med pedagoger i gymnasiesärskolan. Utifrån ett normkritiskt perspektiv har insamlad empiri analyserats med hjälp av begreppen cripteori, normalitet och empowerment i syfte att beskriva och tolka hur pedagogerna i särskolan förhåller sig till eleverna och deras förmåga och rätt till sin sexualitet. Olika teman har konstruerats ur empirin för att definiera attityder, normer och förhållningssätt. Resultatet visar pedagoger med oerhört engagemang i ett svårt ämne där de känner sig ensamma och utsatta utan pedagogiskt stöd. Eleverna visar en stor önskan att passa in, de skäms för att gå i särskolan och gör allt för att inte framstå som avvikande. Osäkerheten hos pedagogerna är av central betydelse samtidigt som den normkritiska medvetenheten i undervisningen behöver stärkas. Slutsatsen är att kompetensutveckling och pedagogisk vägledning inom särskolan är avgörande för detta viktiga men känsliga ämne. / The work in school for students with special needs should prepare for adult life, and sex and cohabitation education should be based on a promotion perspective with focus on sexuality, identity, norms and gender equality. The School Inspectorate's current review of sex and cohabitation education reveals significant shortcomings. This study aims to increase knowledge about educators' perceptions of sexuality, and sex and cohabitation, regarding students with intellectual disabilities. The study consists of semistructured interviews with educators in special needs upper secondary school. Based on a norm critical perspective, collected data has been analyzed using the concepts of crip theory, normality and empowerment for the purpose of describing and interpreting how the educators relate to the students, their ability and right to their own sexuality. Different themes have been constructed from the collected data in order to define attitudes, norms and approaches. The result shows educators with huge commitment in a difficult field where they feel lonely and vulnerable without pedagogical support. The students show great desire to fit in, they are ashamed of going to special school and do anything to not appear deviant. The insecurity within the educators is of central importance and there is little norm critical awareness in the teaching. The conclusion is that knowledge development and pedagogical guidance within the special needs upper secondary school is crucial in this important but sensitive field.

33	Exorcising Intersex and Cripping Compulsory Dyadism Orr, Celeste E. 08 May 2018 (has links) Using hauntology as a linchpin, this dissertation explores the undertheorized connection between intersex and disability. Building on important feminist research in the fields of intersex, queer, disability, crip, and hauntology studies, I ask, how do we understand and reconcile the contested meanings, responses to, and effects of intersex? Intersex is “a perpetually shifting phantasm” (Holmes 2002: 175), yet intersex is typically represented and treated as innate disorder, disability, or disease by medical professionals. That said, many intersex people appear to distance from disability. By engaging intersex studies with feminist disability and crip theories, however, I demonstrate that an intersex politic and intersex studies must be rooted in a disability politic and disability studies. Through a feminist disability and crip lens, I conduct a textual and critical discourse analysis of three case studies of interphobic violence or, what I term, “compulsory dyadism,” meaning the instituted cultural mandate that people cannot have intersex traits or house the “spectre of intersex” (Sparrow 2013: 29); such a spectre must be exorcised. The three case studies include nonconsensual medical interventions, sport sex testing, and employing reproductive technologies to select against intersex variations. My analyses of these case studies produce three important observations. First, intersex is presently and effectively being integrated into conventional notions of disability; second, ableist logics underpin interphobic violence; and third, compulsory dyadism is intertwined with, or is an iteration of, compulsory able-bodiedness. In recognizing this interconnection, theorizing intersex and disability together is not merely beneficial, doing so is necessary. Ultimately, my dissertation interrogates and extends questions of the ever-shifting categorization of body-minds, culturally mandated ways of being, and (the haunting effects of) pathologization. I apply pressure to the academic field of intersex studies as well as intersex activist and advocate communities to center disability in discussions concerning intersex human rights and interphobia. intersex studies disability studies crip theory queer theory compulsory dyadism compulsory able-bodiedness compulsory heterosexuality hauntology intersex genital mutilation (IGM) medical malpractice eugenics reproductive technologies preimplantation genetic diagnosis sport sex testing sport sex segregation sport dis/ability segregation activism curative violence
