“…They are intended to alleviate perceived deficits autistic children are assigned to have. Among all technologies in the corpus 11.5% (22) fall into this category, 40.9% of these being communication aids (falling into a class of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)). Another eight papers assist in social interaction, 18.2% offer visual aids for structuring daily activities and one provides a system for portable medical information.…”

Autistic children are increasingly a focus of technology research within the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community. We provide a critical review of the purposes of these technologies and how they discursively conceptualise the agency of autistic children. Through our analysis, we establish six categories of these purposes: behaviour analysis, assistive technologies, education, social skills, therapy and well-being. Further, our discussion of these purposes shows how the technologies embody normative expectations of a neurotypical society, which predominantly views autism as a medical deficit in need of 'correction'. Autistic children-purportedly the beneficiaries of these technologies-thus become a secondary audience to the largely externally defined purposes. We identify a lack of design for technologies that are geared towards the interests, needs and desires of autistic children. To move HCI's research into autism beyond this, we provide guidance on how to consider agency in use and explicitly allow for appropriation beyond externally driven goals. CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Participatory design; Interaction design process and methods; Accessibility design and evaluation methods;

Serious games and gamified interventions have become increasingly popular among researchers and therapists dealing with the autistic audience. The number of studies on technology for autism has multiplied, with the aim to foster independence and improve learning outcomes. Nevertheless, designing interventions for Autism Spectrum Disorder is challenging, due to the complex clinical conditions and the broad range of symptoms covered by the disturbance. Thus, this systematic review investigates the current status of gamification resources for autism, with a special interest in the gamification elements and the User Interface design. We describe the planning and the searching procedures and present the data extracted from 30 primary sources. The studies analyzed show a multitude of gamification elements and a plethora of methods and strategies to support decision-making and improve accessibility in the development of autism-specific software. It is concluded that the existence of methodological gaps related to the definition of the target audience and the conduction of testing may impose additional challenges to the development process, whilst the combination of gamification elements is generally positive.
