Abstract

For computing to serve humanity, computing spaces must be safe for all individuals. While prior work has surfaced how hegemonic racial and gendered expectations manifest in computing, it has only indirectly attended to expectations surrounding neurodivergence. As computing stereotypes largely align with stereotypes of some neurodivergent individuals, we investigated whether computing legitimized neurodivergent traits over neuronormative ones. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 21 students, faculty, and industry professionals, sampling both neurodivergent-identifying and non-neurodivergent-identifying participants. We found that computing legitimized hyper-focus, deep “special” interests, and high organization, and that fitting these expectations was frequently required for persistence. Some neurodivergent-identifying participants felt that computing provided refuge from societal neuronormative expectations, though one’s sense of refuge depended on sufficiently fitting computing’s neurodivergent expectations. We offer reflections on inclusion and belonging efforts within computing, as well as directions for future work that attends to individuals’ neurodivergent identities.

Bibliography cited by this reference

Cited references are imported from external metadata sources when they are available. The list may be partial.

Cited bibliography overview

These indicators describe the bibliography cited by this publication. An author name is counted each time it appears in one cited reference, so the same person can be counted more than once. Names not yet linked to an author already present in AutiHub are treated as unknown, not as non-autistic. Last computed: 28 Oct 2026 01:01.
