Ideas for Autism: Topic, proposal and Projects from COmeta Lab

The chapter presents projects developed over twelve sessions of the teaching experience at COmeta Lab. Over the years, numerous projects have been implemented to create a comprehensive overview summarising emerging themes. This chapter provides a summary of the progress of projects through active research, enabling analysis and highlighting insights into the value of design with autism. It presents visual results and prompts discussions regarding further interventions and opportunities. This chapter serves as a showcase for the selected projects, displaying two tangible research outcomes from a shared knowledge perspective: OpenCometa, an open-source platform that collects and shares projects; and Case Study Cards, which are tools for evaluating the effectiveness of products designed for people with autism.
