The sensory experiences of autistic people: A metasynthesis

“…Metasynthesis is a method that consolidates the existing data and also analyses them transversally to produce new knowledge (Langlois et al, 2018; Thomas & Harden, 2008). Many metasyntheses have been published about autism, especially regarding the lived experience of parents, focusing on parenting (Corcoran et al, 2015; Lashewicz et al, 2019; O’Nions et al, 2018; Ooi et al, 2016; Shorey et al, 2020), the journey to reach and the announcement of the diagnosis (Boshoff et al, 2019; Jackman et al, 2020), and often still, the stigmatisation (Salleh et al, 2020). Only one metasynthesis has examined the experience of siblings of autistic people (Leedham et al, 2020) and three the experience of autistic people themselves (DePape & Lindsay, 2015), dealing with important topics such as their experience of schooling (Williams et al, 2019) and their access to care (Cooke et al, 2020).…”
