Personalised technology for autism spectrum conditions is the future

Abstract

Individuals with autism possess differing abilities and experiences of the world. Technological development needs to reflect this diversity. Personalised technology gives information about the state of the individual, the environment that individual is in, how other people are, and what other people might be thinking on the other side of the world. Personally gathered information shapes behaviour as an individual gains control and ownership. These devices are giving a previously silent group the modus operandi to be able to speak out and access the world.
