Neurodivergence and Work in Human-Computer Interaction: Mapping the Research Landscape
Article No.: 5, Pages 1 - 14
Abstract
Work environments are commonly designed with non-disabled people in mind. In this contrasting review, we explore how Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research approaches neurodivergence in workplace settings. We provide an in-depth analysis of eleven HCI publications focused on this area. Our results show a fragmented research landscape with varying views on disability and purposes of work, not always prioritizing the actual needs and preferences of neurodivergent people. We highlight research opportunities for our community, and advocate for a justice-oriented perspective that centers neurodivergent people and their right to self-determination (i.e., leading life with autonomy and the ability to make their own choices) in the context of work.

ADHD and Technology Research – Investigated by Neurodivergent Readers
CHI '22: Proceedings of the 2022 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsTechnology research for neurodivergent conditions is largely shaped by research aims which privilege neuro-normative outcomes. As such, there is an epistemic imbalance in meaning making about these technologies. We conducted a critical literature review ...
"I Am Human, Just Like You": What Intersectional, Neurodivergent Lived Experiences Bring to Accessibility Research
ASSETS '24: Proceedings of the 26th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and AccessibilityThe increasing prevalence of neurodivergence has led society to give greater recognition to the importance of neurodiversity. Yet societal perceptions of neurodivergence continue to be predominantly negative. Drawing on Critical Disability Studies, ...
Towards Accessible Remote Work: Understanding Work-from-Home Practices of Neurodivergent Professionals
CSCWWorking from home has become a mainstream work practice in many organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic. While remote work has received much scholarly and public attention over the years, we still know little about how people with disabilities engage ...
