Résumé

L’attention accordée aux recherches explorant la communication et la communauté autistes augmente. Dans cette revue, nous rassemblons et analysons systématiquement la manière dont des adultes autistes décrivent leurs expériences avec d’autres personnes autistes et la relation que cela entretient avec leur qualité de vie (QoL). Cinquante-deux articles qualitatifs ont été analysés au moyen d’une méta-synthèse thématique. Les résultats ont montré que de nombreuses expériences avec d’autres personnes autistes étaient positives et étaient associées à une amélioration de la QoL dans divers domaines. L’hétérogénéité des expériences autistes décrites indique la nécessité de recherches supplémentaires afin d’explorer quels facteurs prédisent un impact positif sur la QoL. L’analyse a également mis en évidence un manque de données concernant les personnes autistes présentant une déficience intellectuelle concomitante en lien avec ce phénomène. Les implications pour la recherche et la pratique sont discutées. Résumé grand public Des recherches ont suggéré que les personnes autistes apprécient de passer du temps avec d’autres personnes autistes et les trouvent plus faciles à qui parler. Nous voulions savoir ce que les personnes autistes disent du fait de passer du temps avec d’autres personnes autistes et si cela améliore leur vie. Nous avons trouvé 52 articles qui décrivaient cela et avons examiné leurs résultats. Nous avons constaté que de nombreuses personnes autistes avaient des expériences positives en passant du temps avec d’autres personnes autistes et que ces expériences avaient un impact positif sur leur vie de différentes manières. Les articles ne nous ont pas indiqué si cela se produisait également chez les personnes autistes ayant une déficience intellectuelle. Davantage de recherches sont nécessaires pour en savoir plus sur les raisons pour lesquelles passer du temps avec d’autres personnes autistes aide certaines personnes autistes.

There is an increasing focus on research exploring autistic communication and community. In this review, we systematically collate and analyse how autistic adults describe their experiences of other autistic people and the relationship this has with their Quality of Life (QoL). Fifty two qualitative papers were analysed using thematic meta-synthesis. Results found many experiences of other autistic people were positive and were associated with improved QoL across a range of domains. The heterogeneity of the autistic experiences described indicates a need for further research to explore which factors predict a positive impact on QoL. Analysis also highlighted a paucity of data on autistic people with co-occurring intellectual disability in relation to this phenomenon. Implications for research and practice are discussed.Lay abstractResearch has suggested that autistic people enjoy spending time with other autistic people and find them easier to talk to. We wanted to find out what autistic people say about spending time with other autistic people and whether this makes their life better. We found 52 papers which described this and reviewed what they found. We found that many autistic people had positive experiences of spending time with other autistic people and these experiences had positive impact on their lives in a range of different ways. The papers did not tell us whether this also happens for autistic people with a learning disability. More research is needed to find out more about why spending time with other autistic people helps some autistic people.
