Older autistic people and ICT
The paper presents new empirical data on the experiences, attitudes to technology and support needs of 78 autistic people aged 50–79. The mixed methods approach involved parallel qualitative and quantitative data collection from a single survey instrument.

The paper presents a comparative mixed methods study of the accessibility and usability for disabled people of four video conferencing tools, Zoom, MS Teams, Google Meet and Skype.

However, the similarities in experiences between countries were stronger than the differences. In p…
