In this study, I used a theoretical approach to investigate whether persons diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder（ASD）have any inward experiences triggered by the surrounding environment, and expressed these as“experiences of persons with ASD.”I begin by summarizing previous theoretical hypotheses and practical studies published by Sugiyama （1992, 1994）, Kobayashi （1999, 2000）, and Hamada et. al. （1992）, while focusing on problems that adults with ASD（not accompanied by intellectual delay）have with‘self’. Next, I summarized experimental studies that utilized an approach from the psychological field pertaining to self. My results revealed that a major drawback of quantitative and cross-sectional studies is that it is difficult to understand the overall perspective of such individuals due to ambiguous statements such as“I live while thinking about various things”（Kujiraoka, 2007）. Future studies are required to go beyond analyzing notes written in the form of a monologue, and extract not only the image persons have of themselves, but also their physical nature using joint action based on “active use of the whole body”（Morioka, 2002） in the form of dialogue.
