Neuro-diversifying tech ...
summary
A participatory study runs 12 workshops with 20 autistic adults and produces a CC‑licensed designers’ toolkit (GitHub) that includes evidence safari cards summarizing observed behaviors and design cards for ideation. The process yields ~40 concrete feature ideas — e.g. activates stillness (strip audio/animated content), connect by interest (match by topic), time‑limited posting, and AI audio previews to check tone. Materials are dyslexia‑friendly, tested with UX teams, and intended to translate research findings into implementable UI changes.
