Findings reveal that TWB actively use various AI applications, including Siri, ChatGPT, currency and image readers, screen readers, and AI-powered search engines like Google and YouTube. Key domains of AI use include daily life, environmental recognition, education, and communication, while mobility, entertainment, and teaching were less common. The study identifies multiple factors shaping AI use, such as personal characteristics, environmental and technological contexts, and socio-cultural influences. Participants reported significant barriers, including limited training, financial constraints, accessibility challenges, and misconceptions about AI.

The research aims to understand VRChat's impact on autistic users' well-being, social connectedness, and overall quality of life. Given the ongoing reconceptualization of autism, this study explores the intersection of digital and virtual technology and autistic socialization.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Methods&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Reflexive Thematic Analysis was employed to analyze self-generated content from autistic individuals on YouTube and Reddit. A PRISMA-adapted data selection framework was utilized to systematically identify and collect publicly available content. The final dataset consisted of 30 user-generated pieces, including videos, comments, and discussions, totaling over 450 min of audiovisual material and 1500 textual messages. Data were anonymized and thematically analyzed by multiple researchers through an iterative, inductive process, ensuring the inclusion of diverse autistic perspectives. In addition, a top-down perspective to the initial inductive analysis, thanks to theoretical triangulation, ensured a comprehensive interpretation of the data.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;This paper primarily focuses on three themes (Scope of Use – Diverse Applications of VRChat; Autistic Life Experience; Overall Perceptions of VRChat) and their corresponding subthemes related to autistic users’ experiences. Findings indicate that VRChat functions as a \"virtual third place,\" offering autistic individuals a unique space for social engagement, self-expression, awareness-raising, and community building.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The platform provides a safer environment where autistic users can share personal experiences, navigate social challenges, and explore their identities in ways that may be less or not accessible in offline settings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Discussion&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;VRChat appears to facilitate 'Autistic Socialization' by accommodating diverse communication styles and fostering a sense of belonging. Its affordances and features enable autistic users to interact in ways that support their social, sensory, and emotional well-being. Additionally, the findings suggest that VRChat serves as a platform for voicing and addressing 'Autistic Suffering,' including the socio-cultural challenges associated with neurodivergence. These insights contribute to discussions on the Double Empathy Problem and highlight the potential of virtual spaces in promoting neurodivergent social inclusion both online and offline.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Conclusions&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Digital and virtual environments play a crucial role in supporting autistic self-narration, social connectedness, and well-being.

We carried out semi-structured interviews with parents and adult siblings of individuals diagnosed with ADHD.

There were striking similarities in the descriptions of personal experiences across cultures, both in terms of family dynamics, and in relation to a lack of support outside the family. Differences in experience across countries reflected structural differences in the educational and health systems of the UK and Kenya. While in Kenya the challenge faced by families was in the lack of formal support structures, families in the UK reported that despite formal recognition and support for ADHD, there was a frustrating failure of effective implementation.
