• TwIPS: A Large Language Model Powered Texting Application to Simplify Conversational Nuances for Autistic Users

  Rukhshan Haroon, Fahad Dogar · 2024 · ASSETS '24: Proceedings of the 26th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

  This paper presents TwIPS, a prototype texting application powered by a large language model that assists autistic users with the pragmatic and tonal aspects of text-based communication. Many autistic individuals experience difficulties interpreting non-literal language…

• MaskSound: Exploring Sound Masking Approaches to Support People with Autism in Managing Noise Sensitivity

  Anna Y Park, Andy Jin, Jeremy Zhengqi Huang, Jesse Carr, Dhruv Jain · 2024 · Proceedings of the 26th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2024)

  This paper investigates sound masking as an alternative strategy for helping autistic individuals manage noise sensitivity in everyday environments. Unlike noise cancellation or isolation approaches that block out environmental sounds entirely, sound masking introduces ambient…

• "I Am Human, Just Like You": What Intersectional, Neurodivergent Lived Experiences Bring to Accessibility Research

  Lindy Le · 2024 · Proceedings of the 26th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2024)

  This paper uses critical autoethnography to examine how intersectional identities shape the experience of neurodivergence, drawing on the author's personal journey of discovering, accepting, and valuing their autism and ADHD diagnoses as a cisgender, Southeast Asian American,…

• Adult Autism Research Priorities and Conceptualization in Computing Research: Invitation to Co-lead with Autistic Adults

  Dafne Zuleima Morgado Ramirez, Giulia Barbareschi, Cathy Holloway · 2024 · ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction

  This extensive literature review critically examines computing research involving autistic adults, analyzing 44 papers from the ACM Guide to Computing Literature published between 2007 and 2022. The work is distinctive in that the first author is autistic, bringing lived…

• "It Was Something I Naturally Found Worked and Heard About Later": An Investigation of Body Doubling with Neurodivergent Participants

  Tessa Eagle, Kathryn E. Ringland · 2024 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing

  This study investigates body doubling—using the presence of others to initiate, maintain focus on, or complete tasks—as a community-driven practice among neurodivergent individuals. The researchers conducted an online survey of 220 participants (193 identifying as…

• Stress Detection of Autistic Adults during Simulated Job Interviews Using a Novel Physiological Dataset and Machine Learning

  Miroslava Migovich, Deeksha Adiani, Michael Breen, Amy Swanson, Timothy J. Vogus, Nilanjan Sarkar · 2024 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing

  This research addresses the significant employment barriers faced by autistic adults, with job interviews identified as a primary obstacle. The researchers developed a physiological stress detection system integrated with CIRVR (Career Interview Readiness in Virtual Reality), a…
