Abstract:

The term stigma comesthe Greek, being related to the identification of people through a physical mark, which can generate marginalization. The literature points out four types of stigmas: public, institutional, self-esteem and courtesy. People with Autistic Spectrum Disorders are stigmatized in various cultures and societies. This study describes the view on stigma regarding Autistic Spectrum Disorder among undergraduate medical and nursing students. This is a cross-sectional study of qualitative approach, whose data were collected through two focus groups, one with medical and another with nursing students,a public university in Alagoas, Brazil. We used a script with eight questions for discussion in the focus groups. The speeches were recorded, transcribed and analyzed with IRAMUTEQ software, based on content analysis. The Descending Hierarchical Classification showed five categories related to the disorder, which were: 1 - Approach to the person with the disorder; 2 - Experience of Stigma; 3 - Segregation of People with Disorders; 4 - Care of the Person with the Disorder and Class 5 - Challenges faced by affected people.
