“…As a replacement for autistic-as-robot rhetorics, we invoke the figure of the (crip) cyborg. In providing alternative framings for understanding autistic relationships with technology, we hope to enroll additional researchers into the growing ranks of HCI scholars attempting to resituate autism research around the wants and needs of autistic people (e.g., Kender and Spiel, 2022;Keyes, 2020;Ringland, 2019;Spiel, et al, 2019;Spiel and Gerling, 2021;Williams and Gilbert, 2019;Ymous, et al, 2020).…”

“…These narratives contribute to political economies contingent upon an unceasing supply of autistic bodies, which support and justify the existence of a cottage industry of autism professionals (Broderick and Roscigno, 2021;Moore, 2021). These political economies, in turn, explain why these strains of autism research persist, despite calls for autism researchers to reevaluate their commitments (e.g., Kender and Spiel, 2022;Rottier, et al, 2022;Spiel, et al, 2018;Williams and Gilbert, 2019;Ymous, et al, 2020). We add our essay to this growing corpus calling for change.…”

This theoretical essay builds on existing literature to draw out the consequences of dehumanizing and disseminating autism discourses within the field of human-computer interaction (HCI). Focusing mainly on narratives in HCI that frame autistic people as or like machines, we explore how dominant constructions of autism in HCI work to normalize the field’s complicity in violent autism intervention paradigms, despite HCI researchers’ well-meaning intentions. We work towards developing crip-cyborgs as an alternative framework for understanding autistic people (as opposed to computers or robots) and suggest crip technoscience as a framework for research based on this alternative understanding. In doing so, we hope to enroll misguided but well-intentioned researchers in dismantling anti-autistic ableism, both in and beyond HCI.
