The meaning of the diagnosis 'autism' for adolescents. A phenomenological study

The lived experience of what it means to have a diagnosis of autism has not gained sufficient attention. In this project, I will interview 12 adolescents (14-18 years old) who have received a recent diagnosis of autism. I will query how they experience having a diagnosis, and how they experience 'autism' and 'being different'.
