Abstract
This article explores how libraries and museums can become more accessible, and in turn also more inclusive, for autistic users. Through a small survey, a literature review and a short case study, it evaluates what steps to take in order to make these places more accessible for this part of the population. The survey had 126 participants, where 12 were diagnosed as autistic and 28 self-diagnosed as autistic. The survey shows that over half of the participants struggled with sensory overload, social interactions and anxiety in these places. A list of ideas on how to make these spaces more suitable for autistic people is offered in the conclusion, including different types of sensory-friendly and social provisions.
