      ab: This article delved into the sensory experiences of autistic adults, drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in British Columbia, Canada. Thematic analysis of qualitative data revealed how unusual perceptual sensitivities impact the emotional well-being of autistic people, complicating their social interactions and relationships and contributing to social isolation. However, autistic individuals adopt diverse sensory and social coping strategies, and constantly adapt their previous sensory and social experiences to particular social and physical environments. This enables them to deal with their sensory challenges while interacting and socializing with others and engaging in social relationships. These ongoing adaptative processes also produce distinctive sociability patterns and perceptions among autistic people, reflecting both the stress associated with social interaction and the intense desire for it. Accordingly, this study highlighted the need for greater awareness of sensory phenomena and of social and physical environments to understand the daily and life experiences of autistics individuals.
