Designing Autistic-friendly Homes: Key Features and Considerations
Our home is our happy place. It is a safe haven where you can relax after a long day and unwind in peace. But, as we know, everyone has their own definition of what a home looks and feels like. Some prefer it to have a modern, sleek design, while others would like a traditional look. Similarly, people on the autistic spectrum have their own preferences when it comes to housing ideas. Simply put a brick-mortar house with windows and ample light might not be their go-to choice.

Individuals on the autistic spectrum can feel overwhelmed by things like bright lights or loud noises. Therefore, designing homes for them requires careful thought and meticulous planning so that their unique needs and concerts are aptly met.
Read on to find out all the things you can keep in mind while designing a home for autistic individuals and how Salisbury Autistic Care is doing its part to make comfortable homes.
Lights, Colors & Sounds
Many people with autism are sensitive to their environment and may have a hard time processing information that they feel and see. This sensory overload can be really intense and overwhelming. That is why it is important to opt for soft, muted tones in colors and avoid harsh lighting or loud noises. It helps create a calm, soothing environment for them to relax and be at ease.
Additionally, incorporating tactile elements such as textured surfaces or soft furnishings can provide comfort and stimulation without overwhelming the senses.
Structured Spaces
Organization and structure help autistic individuals to focus better. Incorporating the same in the living spaces gives them a sense of predictability and routine. Therefore, having designated areas for different activities, such as sleeping, eating, and leisure, or for storing non-essential items, helps individuals with autism to process their environment more effectively.
Quiet Retreats are a Must!
Like everybody else, individuals on the autistic spectrum like their quiet, me time. This is especially true when they feel a sensory overload. A quiet corner or room helps them decompress and relax. Hence, these retreat spaces should be equipped with comfortable seating, dimmable lighting, and noise-canceling features to create a calming environment.

Prompt 199
“Where the fuck are my legs?”
Danny wasn’t happy. It wasn’t funny! Usually he just had a ghost tail when flying really fast, like super speed, not all the time! It’s not funny Clockwork, you’re used to having a tail, he isn’t!
What do you mean it’s permanent?! He needs his legs! Clockwork!! He wouldn’t have agreed to the adoption if he knew he’d lose his legs!
…Okay, that was a lie, Clockwork was a great parent who encouraged his chaos and enjoyed screwing over assholes like the Observants. But still! He looks like some sort of snake person now! No he doesn’t want a nap, he’s not a baby!
Clockwork, why are you being quiet? He’s not a baby! He’s not a baby, right? What do you mean all ghosts are babies until they’re a hundred years dead!? But he’s a halfa- what do you mean it takes longer for Ancients?!
No he doesn’t want that nap, he’s having a midlife crisis here several years too early!

I’ve seen what’s on your mind. I know it well, a tale as old as time. You’re infatuated with what I represent to you. You'll eventually find something else to obsess over.
At least the view is great. I... appreciate the moment.
(I was at it again, torturing myself with insane amounts of small details. Why do I draw heavily textured or intertwined details on most elf outfits? I just imagine it's something they'd culturally have because of historical and psychological reasons.)

Ok more touching grass. I’m blocking people because I don’t intend to belabour this point with newbie activists but this is for the rest of you, for future reference.
We are all typing on phones and computers that are directly complicit in the genocide in the Congo. On an internet funded and infiltrated by US and Israeli spyware. Your lack of “silence” on either matter doesn’t erase your complicity.
When you mature your politic, you will come to realise that the true wickedness of this system is we are all put in ethical gridlocks and stalemates, which make doing the 100% pure thing, dangerous.
If you can get on here and not get fired for saying Free Palestine, especially anonymously, or under the cover of a lack of major influence, understand that is a privilege EARNED for you by generations of activists, who learned how to manage the risk of taking on this system by using nuance.
You think a man that marched against the Iraq War is complicit in this genocide because he is, IN YOUR DEFINITION, “silent” on it?
This is what I mean about a) controlling other people’s behaviour, and b) creating a false dichotomy of action that is antithetical to how the very system works. “Silence” was never meant to be a colloquial term when used with “complicity” - it is a systemic term. The silence of those with institutional power is complicity. Not miss ma’am at the coffee shop.
And THIS IS WHERE I REMIND YOU ONCE AGAIN - “celebrities” are Gig workers in an industry primarily funded and run by religious conservatives. Just because the industry says they’re liberals, doesn’t mean they are.
Movements work on consistency, and there are many ways to act. Demanding one way of action, and not providing any institutional power to back that demand other than “your disappointment” is reckless. This is not the stuff of movements that last. How are you planning to potentially support performers who’ve spoken on behalf of Palestinians, when all this is over and you’re back to drinking Starbucks? Will you care? Will you, once again, use your “lack of silence” (only one part of activism) to proclaim that you want to support them, or will you have tangible means to do so? I fucking doubt it. We don’t, even collectively, currently rival the support structure of the entertainment industry, that is run by religious conservatives - anyone that speaks out, is calculating their risk against their action.
Allow people to do their own fucking math, and if they haven’t been openly and brazenly fucking Zionist on main, give them the fucking benefit of the doubt. That’s what the adults/seasoned activists are doing. We have to see through the liberation of everyone, and that doesn’t happen by burning through everyone’s support systems at once.
This ain’t dick riding. This is me telling you to stop centering your “disappointment” on the internet, and keeping score about things that only move the needle by increments. This man, and his words, and your “disappointment” in him, in this moment, DOES NOT MATTER TO THE CAUSE. AT ALL. Get on the fucking phone and out on the streets like the rest of us.
There are lives at stake and his part of his math, so he still has a voice to use in the long term, does not affect you at all if you’re truly here for the systemic change.
Tldr; His voice would be nice, but not at the cost of having his voice in the future. You dig?
