This project aims to address communication challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals in intimate relationships. The ultimate goal is to develop new AI-powered tools and methods that support and enhance communication within these relationships. Technological solutions will be developed collaboratively with neurodivergent individuals, their partners, and allies to ensure feasibility and practical utility.
These developments, potentially involving software for computers, phones, and wearables, will focus on creating an AI that learns from the expressive communication styles often used by neurodivergent individuals, focusing more on emojis, GIFs, and music to start and then connecting them to communication by means of texting, verbal tone, and so on (but that'll be after we deal with non-verbal first), and intelligently recommends relevant options to facilitate communication in intimate contexts. The project will prioritize user privacy and control over the AI's suggestions.
