Notes

This user story was created by combining multiple insights from focus groups held in Autumn 2019. These focus groups were a mixture of autistic people, their families, and people from Autistica, the Turing, and Fujitsu. The data from the focus groups and more details about how it was collected and processed can be found here:

There's a nice example of a tool that allows multiple ways of inputting information at https://crisislogger.org

b) Non-verbal means of inputting information
(A d): “…having the option to…upload photos, or pictures, or voice recordings of people.”
(P g): “A lot of people do communicate quite visually, or understand things visually, so that would be useful, if people could have pictures”
(A p d): “communication with pictures, voice to text interface” to improve accessibility
c) Filters for different kinds of user
(A d): “that would be good…if you’re an autistic person who wants someone to relate to…you can always filter it through to see personal perspectives, whilst…parents might be looking for a different thing”
(R T d): “[maybe there is an] opportunity in this for autistic people and parents to empathise with each other through sharing experience…if you segregated the responses, it would prevent that from happening”
(P d): “you wouldn’t have to segregate them… you could just… have a drop box where people choose whether they’re parents, people with autism, teachers, employers…”
d) How should we ask the research question?
(A d): “…[make] sure the question’s not broad”
(A d): “…remind all people that this isn’t the experience of all of us, it’s just the experience of a good handful of us”
(R T d): “we’ll probably ask people to share a lot, and then it’s on the researcher, to…tease out the sensory processing aspect”
(R T i): “I think the only thing that I’m slightly worried about is if people feel that the experience that they’re sharing that is not related to the sensory processing doesn’t get the same level of attention, in the published research… [solution is]…setting expectations”
(A p d): “I think that when we collect several experiences for one particular environment, [researchers] can actually analyse that environment, without [participants] actually going into sensory analysis”
