| Abstract | Background: Although there is extensive research examining parental experiences of assessment and diagnosis of autism, there is a paucity of research from the perspective of individuals with autism. Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine young people with high functioning autism who were capable of providing a verbal account of their perceptions of autism and diagnosis experiences. Data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Results: Diagnosis, and the disclosure of the diagnosis of autism, were embedded in respondents' perceptions of "having" autism. This superordinate theme included five themes: (i) "disclosure delay," (ii) "providing explanations," (iii) "potential effects of labelling," (iv) "disruptions and opportunities," and (v) "acceptance and avoidance." Conclusion: In relation to the existing literature, it is suggested that the effects of diagnosis, or disclosure of diagnosis, from the perspective of the person with autism be given greater consideration.
