Experiences of friendship among autistic adults: a scoping review
1Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, Nanjing Normal University of Special Education, Nanjing, China.
Aims:
In this review, we comprehensively mapped the literature on the experiences of friendship among autistic adults.
Data Sources:
A scoping review was conducted following databases from the earliest records to December 2023 in four electronic databases (PubMed, ERIC, Web of Science and EBSCO (Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, APA PsycArticles, APA PsyInfo, and Open Dissertations) to (a) identify the quantity, breadth, and methodological characteristics of the literature, (b) summarize and synthesize key research findings, and (c) explore knowledge gaps to guide future research.
Results:
A total of 22 empirical studies were included. The results indicated that the most frequently studied components were friendship status; friendship practice; meaning of friendships; relationships between friendship and other factors.
Conclusion:
Future studies should incorporate the voice of autistic adults and focus on the dynamics and contexts of friendship experiences.
