Drinking Your Own Champagne
summary
An autistic user researcher actually runs usability interviews for an autism-at-work website built as a WordPress prototype for Untapped, testing content and structure with autistic jobseekers, employers and DES staff via Microsoft Teams. Findings include a startling 31.6% unemployment statistic, an iPad Pro typography bug, headphone buzzing that stops sessions, and that tailored scripts, removed triggering questions and letting participants lead produce clearer outcomes. The prototype changes based on these concrete issues and participant-driven fixes.
