“…Autism research is primarily completed in WEIRD countries, creating a large gap in understanding the autistic perspective on a global level (Jones and Mandell, 2020). Kassous (2023) describes this large widening research gap in the Global South due to lack of funding, lack of opportunity, and lack of access to Western research. The Global South refers to countries outside of Europe and North America, including Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Oceania (Dados and Connell, 2012).…”

PurposeThis scoping review explores the utilization of participatory research with autistic youth in K-12 public/mainstream school settings.MethodsA scoping review was performed to identify how often participatory research methodologies are used in K-12 public/mainstream school settings with autistic students, what researchers report are the strengths, barriers, and recommendations in using participatory research methodologies with autistic students in K-12 public school settings and what type of demographic information is included in the studies.ResultsFive studies were included for review focusing on participatory research with autistic youth in K-12 public or mainstream school settings. The studies used a range of participatory research methodologies to explore the experiences of mainly male autistic youth in the UK and Australia. Strengths, challenges, and recommendations noted included opportunities for empowerment, increased ownership, issues with teachers, thinking critically about communication, and collaboration with partners.ConclusionParticipatory research with autistic school-aged youth is an emerging practice. This is evidenced by the small number of studies included in this review. The findings highlight concerns about the lack of representation of autistic females and students with historically marginalized racial identities in autism research. Recommendations for including these groups in autism research, implications, and limitations are discussed.
