Abstract

ABSTRACT Autistic people may share a similar neurological dysfunction in regulating perception and integration of complex sounds. Acoustics are a dominant sensory component of the city and may significantly impact Autistic people’s experience of the urban environment. In this reflection, I propose a research project comprising (1) a qualitative evaluation of Autistic adults’ sensory and acoustic experience of urban space through an embodied ethnographic study, (2) a systematic review of existing literature, (3) a comparative analysis of the ethnography and the review, in order to develop (4) guidelines for inclusive design which accommodate the auditory and sensory needs of Autistic people.
