Résumé

Les recherches sur l'engagement des adolescents autistes dans les jeux en ligne se sont jusqu'à présent concentrées sur le temps passé à jouer, ou sur la caractérisation des comportements de jeu problématiques, et se sont principalement appuyées sur les rapports des aidants. Dans la présente étude, nous avons interrogé 12 garçons adolescents autistes, en leur demandant leurs perspectives sur leur engagement dans les jeux en ligne et leurs motivations. Nous avons analysé les données d'entretien au moyen d'une analyse thématique et identifié trois thèmes clés dans les données, qui portaient sur l'agentivité et le sentiment d'appartenance, la régulation des émotions, et la reconnaissance des perceptions différentes que les jeunes et leurs aidants avaient du jeu. Nos résultats montrent la nécessité d'inclure les points de vue des jeunes autistes dans les recherches sur leurs intérêts et leur bien-être, et fournissent des éclairages susceptibles d'aider les aidants et les professionnels à soutenir les jeunes autistes dans leur épanouissement.

Research into autistic adolescents' engagement in online gaming has so far focused on time spent gaming, or characterizing problematic gaming behaviour and has relied mostly on caregiver report. In the current study, we interviewed 12 autistic adolescent boys, asking about their perspectives on their engagement in online gaming, and their motivations. We analysed the interview data using thematic analysis and identified three key themes in the data, which focused on agency and a sense of belonging, emotion regulation, and acknowledgement of the differing perceptions that the young people and their caregivers had of gaming. Our findings show the need to include the viewpoints of autistic young people in research about their interests and well-being, and provide insights that can help caregivers and professionals to support autistic young people in flourishing.
