Design thinking is a problem-solving approach that involves empathy, experimentation, and iteration. This approach can be particularly beneficial for neurodivergent individuals, as it allows them to approach design challenges in new and innovative ways.
This method starts with empathy and encourages designers to understand the needs and perspectives of users. This means understanding the way their minds work and how they process information. Designers can use this understanding to create products that are more accessible and usable by the users.
Allowing them to bring their unique perspectives and experiences to the design process.
Design thinking is an iterative process, which means that designers are encouraged to continuously refine and improve their designs. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with nontypical brains, as it allows them to approach design challenges in a flexible and adaptive manner.
It is also important to create a supportive and inclusive environment for neurodivergent people can help to ensure that their perspectives and experiences are valued and integrated into the design process.
Design thinking allows to approach design challenges in new and innovative ways. By starting with empathy, experimenting and prototyping, iterating, working with multidisciplinary teams, and focusing on the needs of users.
