Abstract
Recent autism research emphasizes the importance of ethical, inclusive, and participatory methodologies that center the voices and lived experiences of autistic individuals. However, traditional qualitative approaches often reflect neurotypical norms, limiting their sensitivity to diverse communication styles and marginalizing participants with high support needs. This methodological proposal outlines an inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming framework adopted in a qualitative study on individuals with autism spectrum disorder. This approach is based on person-centered ethics and participatory principles, and it integrates values from autism self-advocacy communities.
