Design patterns of user interfaces for people with autism: Systematic Review of the Literature

Abstract:

Human-computer interaction is fundamental to establish communication between users and systems through interfaces. However, designing interfaces for people with autism presents challenges due to the characteristics of the disorder, which affects communication, social interaction and behavior. This article presents a systematic review of the scientific literature, with the aim of identifying patterns in the design of interfaces for people with autism. The results highlight the use of virtual reality as a tool to support the participation of people with autism in daily activities. It is also recommended to provide immediate feedback, personalize scenarios, consider sensory overload, use a simple and visually appealing design, employ facial recognition technology, and allow user participation in interface design. The importance of taking an individualized approach to meet the unique cognitive and sensory needs of each user with autism is emphasized.
