Strength-based (SB) approaches view individuals and communities as experts on their experiences, desires, and needs. How do autistics understand their strengths and how does this information influence the way we design technology? Using a semi-structured SB format, we conducted three focus groups and nine one-on-one interviews with autistics, inviting them into an open conversation about their self-image, understanding of strength, commonalities within the autistic community, and their suggestions for better technology design. Several dominant themes emerged. Importantly, results reinforced the heterogeneous nature of the autistic community and the need to grow capacity for neurodiversity so that we may design future research in ways that glean outcomes valuable to autistic stakeholders. This paper (1) Presents autistic voices in their natural language; (2) Develops SB terminology in HCI to align with the self-determination and autonomy of users; and (3) Builds SB language in HCI to connect and contrast data.
