Autism Spectrum Disorder

A neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in social communication and interaction, along with restricted or repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. Autism exists on a spectrum with widely varying support needs. Many autistic people experience sensory processing differences, preferring predictable environments and clear, literal communication. For digital accessibility, this means providing consistent, predictable interfaces; avoiding ambiguous language or idioms; offering alternatives to social interaction requirements; minimizing sensory overload from animations, sounds, or visual clutter; and supporting user customization of the experience.
