The document discusses housing considerations for people with autism. It explores how to develop a design brief that meets the complex needs of individuals on the autism spectrum. Key aspects to address include reducing anxiety, enhancing motivation and safety, and accommodating sensory processing issues, compulsions, hypersensitivities and known likes/dislikes. A case study project is described that incorporates these design priorities through features like secure landscaping, robust fittings, personalized equipment, and control of light, noise and distractions.
