Autism and Social Media Project

Autistic young adults (YAs) have been found to face exasperated harms due to social media use. Our work examines ways to reduce these issues through:

  • Developing educational materials to increase digital literacy
  • Designing a gamified educational app to promote self-paced, asynchronous learning of digital literacy materials
  • Exploring the applications of AI in technology to more effectively support this population through redesigned social media features.
