Objectives: Despite suggestions of strengths and abilities of autistic people, it has been an underexplored area in autism research, the primary focus of which has been on examining differences and atypicalities as deficits rather than strengths. Understanding the self-reported impediments via first-person accounts of autistic adults for facilitating the strengths is an important prerequisite for an in-depth comprehension of the unique diversities and potentialities of autistic people, and roadmap development.

Methods: The study is based on qualitative phenomenological inductive thematic analysis through in-depth interviews with 10 verbally- and cognitively-able autistic adults, following purposive and snowball sampling.

Results: The impediments at home, school, and communities are presented through the five inductively extracted themes. Additionally, the study proposes future pathways for fostering an effective environment to nurture the innate potentialities of autistic people via a strength-focused lens.

Conclusion: The study endorses the paradox of strength and atypicalities and advocates a shift from a deficit-focused approach to a strength-focused approach of support, and promotes the neurodiverse model of acceptance and embrace.

目标：尽管有人提出了自闭症患者的优势和能力，但它一直是自闭症研究中未充分探索的领域，其主要重点是检查差异和非典型性作为缺陷而不是优势。通过自闭症成人的第一人称描述来理解自我报告的障碍以促进优势是深入理解自闭症患者独特的多样性和潜力以及路线图开发的重要先决条件。

方法：该研究基于定性现象学归纳主题分析，通过对 10 名具有语言和认知能力的自闭症成年人进行深入访谈，并进行了有目的的滚雪球抽样。

结果：家庭、学校和社区的障碍通过五个归纳提取的主题呈现。此外，该研究还提出了培养有效环境的未来途径，以通过以力量为中心的视角培养自闭症患者的先天潜力。

结论：该研究认可力量和非典型性的悖论，提倡从以缺陷为中心的方法转变为以力量为中心的支持方法，并促进接受和拥抱的神经多样性模型。
