چکیده
افراد مبتلا به اختلال طیف اوتیسم (ASD) و فنوتیپ گسترده اوتیسم (BAP) بیشتر از افراد دارای رشد معمولی (TD) تمایل به اقلیت جنسی را گزارش می دهند (به عنوان مثال، Bejerot و Eriksson، PLoS ONE 9:1-9، 2014). دی وینتر و همکاران، مجله اوتیسم و اختلالات رشدی 47:2927-2934، 2017؛ کوالز و همکاران، مجله اوتیسم و اختلالات رشدی 48:3974-3983، 2018). این مطالعه تناسب یک مدل موجود از گرایش جنسی را برای بررسی عوامل مرتبط با افزایش جهت گیری اقلیت جنسی (ورثینگتون و همکاران، روانشناس مشاوره 30:496-531، 2002) در افراد مبتلا به TD، BAP و ASD مدل دارای برازش کافی بود، χ2 (130) = 374.04، p < 0.001. RMSEA = 0.07; CFI = 0.95; SRMR = 0.08. مشخص شد که دگرجنسگرایی تنها پیشبینیکننده جهتگیری اقلیتهای جنسی و پیشبینیکننده قابلتوجهی در گروههای BAP و ASD است، با افزایش تجارب دگرجنسگرایانه روزانه که گرایش اقلیت جنسی بیشتر را در این گروهها پیشبینی میکند.

Abstract
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP) are more likely than individuals with typical development (TD) to report a sexual minority orientation (e.g., Bejerot and Eriksson, PLoS ONE 9:1–9, 2014; DeWinter et al., Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders 47:2927–2934, 2017; Qualls et al., Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders 48:3974–3983, 2018). This study operationalized and tested the fit of an existing model of sexual orientation to examine which factors are associated with increased sexual minority orientation (Worthington et al., The Counseling Psychologist 30:496–531, 2002) in individuals with TD, BAP, and ASD. The model was found to have adequate fit, χ2 (130) = 374.04, p < 0.001; RMSEA = 0.07; CFI = 0.95; SRMR = 0.08. Heterosexism was found to be the only predictor of sexual minority orientation and a significant predictor in the BAP and ASD groups, with increased daily heterosexist experiences predicting greater sexual minority orientation in these groups.
Introduction
Sexual minority orientation has become increasingly more common in the United States. The term “sexual minority orientation” refers to an individual’s same-sex directed preferences in sexual attraction and sexual behavior, as well as the adoption of a sexual minority identity, where they see themselves as a sexual minority and may adopt a label that describes their sexual minority identity (Diamond, 2006; McCarn & Fassinger, 1996; Roberts et al., 2010). This is especially true in specifc sub-groups. Among individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), an estimated 42–69% identify as same-sex attracted or a sexual minority (Byers et al., 2012; George & Stokes, 2018b). Evidence of this relationship has also been found in individuals with the Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP), where an increased number of traits related to ASD, as measured by the Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire (BAPQ), was shown to be positively correlated with increased same-sex attraction, behavior, fantasies, and sexual minority identity present in these individuals (Qualls et al., 2018).
Conclusion
This study is the frst to examine how biopsychosocial factors afect sexual minority orientation in individuals with TD, BAP, and ASD. Additionally, individuals with ASD experience more heterosexism and sexual prejudice than individuals with BAP and TD, making this an important area of intervention and research that has not heretofore been addressed. We hope that this paper encourages more intervention and research to improve the lives of sexual minority individuals, especially those with ASD and the BAP.
