Autism Spectrum Disorder

A neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in social communication, sensory processing, and patterns of behavior or interests. Autism exists on a spectrum, meaning it presents differently across individuals — some may have significant support needs while others require minimal accommodation. In digital accessibility, designing for autistic users involves reducing sensory overload (limiting animations, managing color contrast), providing predictable and consistent navigation, using plain language, and supporting customization of interface elements to match individual sensory and cognitive preferences.
