SUMMARY:The Workaround Is the Spec: Designing With Neurodivergent People
URL:https://www.deque.com/axe-con/sessions/the-workaround-is-the-spec-desig
 ning-with-neurodivergent-people/
DESCRIPTION:Roughly 15 to 20 percent of people are neurodivergent\, and mos
 t of them spend their workday in Teams\, Zoom\, and Slack\, tools that wer
 e never designed with them. Drawing on my Master’s research at OCAD Univ
 ersity\, including hundreds of real user posts and co-design sessions with
  six neurodivergent professionals\, this talk shows where these tools brea
 k down: sensory overload\, notification overload\, turn-taking\, “always
  available” status pressure\, and buried navigation. You’ll see the fe
 atures participants designed themselves\, from speaking queues to notifica
 tion batching to per-person volume controls\, and leave with practical way
 s to bring neurodivergent employees into your design process and your work
 place norms.
