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

People with Asperger's syndrome (AS) have a rather different thinking style. They may create new ideas that the designer can see this awkward thinking style as the driver for developing 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 methods. Described is an observational study of how the ideation workshop covers their deficits and makes them adapt to generate their different ideas. From the observation, this paper realizes how we start to reestablish the relationship between AS people and the society.
