A Design Thinking Process with ' Aspie ': Developing a New Intervention for People with Asperger's Syndrome

People with Asperger’s syndrome (AS) have a rather different thinking style. They may cre-ate new ideas that the designer can see this awkward thinking style as the driver for devel-oping new and innovative ideas. In this paper, both ‘Aspie’ and the designer work together to make innovative ideas, by which ‘Aspie’ could find a new contributive role in communal living. An ideation workshop is composed of two different stages with several ideation me-thods. Described is an observational study of how the ideation workshop covers their defi-cits and makes them adapt to generate their different ideas. From the observation, this pa-per realizes how we start to reestablish the relationship between AS people and the society. KCI Citation Count: 1
