Abstract
Autistic youth are at increased risk of adversity. Yet they can provide accurate eyewitness testimony. How do adults judge the credibility of youth with autism? Adults watched videos of autistic and neurotypical adolescents recalling a stressful (Trier) experience. Autistic youth were rated as less credible, even with accuracy statistically controlled.
