Abstract

Autistic adults are among the groups most likely to experience financial hardship, yet little is known about their money management practices or their use of financial technologies. Incorporating the perspectives from the Neurodiversity Movement and Crip Technoscience, my research aims to uncover how financial technologies are meeting the needs and preferences of autistic people and identify factors that may exacerbate financial exclusion. In this process, I aim to learn from the autistic community. The goal of my research is to facilitate a participatory design process in which autistic adults share and develop alternative approaches to financial technology that centre on the diverse voices, experiences and expertise of autistic people.
