| Sumario: | Understanding the lived experiences of autistic adolescents is essential for informing inclusive policies and practices. Photovoice, a method that facilitates participants to express themselves through photography, has proven effective in engaging autistic youth in research about their lives. Although conducting photovoice via online platforms has shown promise with various populations, its application in research with autistic people remains unexplored. This article addresses the gap by presenting the use of online photovoice with six autistic adolescents (aged 12-16) in a study about their experiences of wellbeing at school. The paper details participant recruitment, one-on-one research sessions, and reflections from participants and researchers. The online photovoice method brings advantages, including expanded recruitment, increased inclusivity, reduced anxiety, and enhanced engagement of participants. Nevertheless, its implementation requires adequate resources for participants and considerable preparation and flexibility of researchers. The method proved valuable in supporting the participation of autistic adolescents, suggesting potential for future studies. Points of interest: Online photovoice is a method by which participants take and/or use photographs to express their viewpoints and share their thoughts and experiences via a virtual platform. It has been successfully used in studies involving diverse populations, but its application in research with autistic individuals remains underexplored. This article details the method of conducting four online video-conferenced photovoice sessions with each of the six autistic adolescents about their wellbeing experiences at school. The method had advantages: expanded recruitment, reduced anxiety, and increased empowerment of participants. It also required considerations of adequate resources for participants and the flexibility of researchers. Online photovoice has potential as a method for exploring the lived experiences and perspectives of autistic people in future studies.
