What does it actually mean
to be autistic?
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
If you’ve met one autistic
person, you’ve met ONE
autistic person.

What does this mean for
my UX career?
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
The myth that autistic people
lack empathy
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
My challenges
are offset by
great strengths
that allow me
to tackle that
understanding
gap sideways,
back to front
and upside
down.
I’m very good
at solving
puzzles and
recognising
patterns.
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
I’m an expert level dot
connector.
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
I think in pictures
and have a vivid
imagination.
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
I’m naturally curious.
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
I’m fearless.
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
Lists, lists and more lists.

@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
How do we as UXers design
and research for autistic
people?
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
The problem is most of
them are aimed at our
communication differences
and many of them seek to
change autistic traits rather
than maximise their
strengths just as they are.
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
Autistic people are not
broken and they don’t need
fixing.
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital

Tips for researching &
designing for autistic people.
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
Researching
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
Treat us like any other participant
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
Don’t be put off by our
unusual eye contact
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
Consider not having observers
in the room
@PwCAUdigital@AshleaMcKay
Provide clear instructions
upfront both written and
verbally
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
Designing
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
Exploratory
research is
essential and
assumptions
about our needs
and perceived
limitations must
be avoided
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
Don’t classify or judge
autistic individuals based
on perceived severity
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
View autism and other
neurological differences
the same way you would
any other disability
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
Practice inclusive language
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
Identity first language matters
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
My autism sits at the
very core of my
identity.
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
We need all kinds of brains.
@AshleaMcKay @PwCAUdigital
