The year 2024 has proven to be quite challenging for people living in cities in the Amazon region, as during the months of August, September, and October, they were completely enveloped by a dense layer of smoke from the fires. On this scenario, this study aims to understand the exceptional impact that the phenomenon of fires has had on people with autism. To achieve this, through the technique of an integrative literature review, a connection will be made between the peculiar characteristics of people with autism, particularly regarding sensory alteration, and the effects caused by fires in Amazonian cities. The integrative review method proved suitable as it allows for the establishment of connections between diverse investigations and the construction of new knowledge. Understanding how people with autism were impacted by the fires in Amazonian cities is relevant for observing the peculiarities of this disorder and for planning actions to mitigate this suffering, as there is no evidence that these climate-related tragedies will not recur.
