Purpose The voices of adults living on the autism spectrum are being increasingly heard, yet interventions that can be adjusted to their individual needs are urgently required. This paper reports on the first phase of a project that aims to have adults with autism participate meaningfully in co-designing an engaging digital skills development platform incorporating micro-skills training programs and digital tools to enhance wellbeing and social-emotional functioning. Methods Adults with autism were recruited in Australia to participate in an online survey (N = 17) and/or focus groups or interviews (N = 11) designed to establish preferences for content, presentation, and functionality of the platform. Results Participants highlighted the importance of integrating communication, social, relationship, employment, and organisational skills with content presented via graphics/diagrams and text. In addition, a consistent finding across both quantitative and qualitative data was the preference for content delivered by peers. Conclusion There are few evidence-based interventions designed to improve the lives of adults with autism. Key areas of focus were identified, with the importance of personalising the platform to ensure it caters to varying levels of ability and the different preferences of adults with autism also noted. |
