Why do newer university buildings tend to be more autism-accessible? Key issues: poor signage, overwhelming sensory environments, & few navigation aids. Simple adaptations could dramatically improve university experiences for autistic individuals. What would make YOUR campus experience better? 🤔
Our accessibility audit found the avg Uni Aberdeen bldg scores 3/5 for autism-friendliness. Sir Duncan Rice Library tops the list at 4.1/5, some historic bldgs score below 2/5. Visual ethnography helped ID barriers & solutions. Indiv. autism experiences are as diverse as the buildings themselves!
Warmed my heart to see this walking around Kirkwall today
St Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall, Orkney. Dates back to 1137. Quiet, imposing, and grand, like much of this locale!
Bishop’s Palace, Kirkwall, Orkney. Both Queen Margaret, Maid of Norway and Haakon IV of Norway passed here.
The Ring of Brodgar on Orkney has Energy! Felt distinctly uncomfortable within it.
A long-awaited meeting, today, with the magical Skara Brae. Joy.
