Innovations in tech help to better understand individuals with autism
Implications - Tech focused on accessibility for those with disabilities is now creating gadgets that either replicate how people with autism experience sensory stimulation, or that aid in their ability to speak to others. Both of these tools serve to enhance communication between people with autism, and those without it – either through increasing empathy, or through accelerating skills. This emerging shift contributes to a new system in which it is not simply those with autism having to adapt to a world that isn't built for them – since those without the developmental disorder are now able to better understand those who have it.
