Abstract
Noise sensitivity impacts many autistic and non-autistic people, making self-regulation challenging and impacting their quality of life. My doctoral research aims (1) to understand the experiences of people with noise sensitivity (PWNS); (2) to identify how PWNS and their allies become aware of, manage, and regulate responses to noise sensitivity; and finally, (3) to design and evaluate the feasibility of technology to facilitate awareness amongst PWNS and their care networks. Completed studies thus far have informed the design of a multi-device application to support noise sensitivity. Focusing on the concept of joint awareness, I am currently working on a deployment study to evaluate the feasibility of our app to facilitate awareness within care networks for noise sensitivity management and regulation. My dissertation research will provide an understanding of noise sensitivity experiences, introduce the concept of joint awareness, and provide technological solutions to support collaborative management and regulation of noise sensitivity.
