“…On the positive side, the reduced contextual, auditory, and visual cues in online interactions (Trepagnier et al 2006(Trepagnier et al , 2011 diminish the constraints that individuals with autistic traits experience in offline interactions. Also, the Internet provides people with autistic traits with the opportunity to control the information they want to reveal about themselves.…”

Individuals with autism spectrum disorders or autistic traits may profit from Internet and computer-mediated interactions, but there is concern about their Internet use becoming compulsive. This study investigated the link between autistic traits and Internet use in a 2-wave longitudinal study with a non-clinical community sample (n = 390). As compared to people with less autistic traits, people with more autistic traits did not report a higher frequency of Internet use, but they were more prone to compulsive Internet use. For women, more autistic traits predicted an increase in compulsive Internet use over time. These results suggest that, despite its appeal for people with autistic traits, the Internet carries the risk of compulsive use.

“…The earlier the detection is done, the earlier adapted social interaction and games can be applied to the child [24]. Recent studies are focused on detecting autism from the infants' gaze, as children that present autistic syndromes tend to look less at eyes and more at mouths [25], thus show a pattern of eye movements when looking at faces that does not match the one observed in normal children.…”

“…The emerging technologies in wearables, robotics and ubiquitous computing engage high potential for AAC studies. Furthermore, today we have the technological abilities to process the emotional states of people with motion and facial expression sensing technologies and help individuals understand emotions [3,20] which can take the AAC subject to a next level. In one promising project, Kaliouby & Robinson [21] suggests a prosthetic solution; the "Emotional Hearing Aid", a system, which watches facial expressions of encountering persons and gives the information to the ASC individual providing feedback about facial expressions.…”

“…IWA can also learn rules and restrictions of interfaces very well, as long as these are put clearly and not through metaphorical signs or speech [12,1]. Also reward systems have proved to be useful in enhancing the educational level on IWA in such virtual systems [20]. Such reward systems also allow the IWA learn how to use more complicated interfaces.…”

Since 1999, research for creativity triggering education solutions for interactive media design (IMD) undergraduate level education in Yıldız Technical University leaded to a variety of rule breaking exercises. Among many approaches, the method of designing for disabling environment, in which the students design for the users with one or more of their senses disabled, brought the challenge of working on developing interactive solutions for the individuals with autism spectrum conditions (ASC). With the aim of making their life easier, the design students were urged to find innovative yet functional interaction solutions for this focused user group, whose communicational disability activate due to the deficiencies in their senses and/or cognition. Between 2011 and 2012, this project brief supported by participatory design method motivated 26 students highly to develop design works to reflect the perfect fit of interaction design to this challenging framework involving the defective social communication cases of autism.
