The Autistic UXer: Understanding, Researching and Designing for Autistic People

uxmastery.com

Different brains are beautiful because they think differently on a whole other level.

What an intro for an article about UX for neurodiverse users! Different brains are beautiful indeed.

This article by Ashlea McKay starts from some key facts about ASD and then builds a bridge to best practices for designing and researching for autistic people – “the autistic UX”.

I'm Sebastian, Sociologist and Interaction Designer. This journal is mostly about bringing together social science and design for inclusive, privacy-focused, and sustainable "human-first" digital strategies. I also tend to a "digital garden" with carefully curated resources.

My occasionally sent email newsletter has all of the above, and there is of course also an RSS feed or my Mastodon/Fediverse profile.
