Aspergeronline ETS Designing inclusion for Autism & Neurodivergence.

It’s 2024, and I’m at the helm of something vital—Aspergeronline ETS, a project born from my hands as its founder and now thriving under my leadership as president. This isn’t just another gig—it’s a bold mission in Diversity & Inclusion, designed to empower a community too often overlooked. I’ve crafted the UX, UI, and full brand identity for six interconnected websites, each distinct yet united in purpose: breaking barriers for those living with autism and neurodivergences.

My goal? Build an experience that’s more than functional—it’s transformative, and I’m all in. I kick things off with the groundwork. Aspergeronline stands on open-source roots and Ghost.org, a lean, powerful base that I’ve shaped into something alive with a community of over 280 active voices on Discourse. It’s not just about tech—it’s about inclusion that hits hard. With my typography roots, I sift through fonts and land on Real Text Pro Book by Erik Spiekermann and Ralph du Carrois—crisp, readable, built for everyone, especially those who see the world differently. This is the spine of a platform that’s ready to grow and connect.

Next, I dive into the tools and the service map. I design interactive tools from scratch—intuitive, tested, refined—each one a lifeline to resources that matter. The map is the heartbeat: a visual guide linking people to possibilities, powered by GSAP and Isotope for smooth, adaptive flow.

I train an AI model to churn out site visuals, turning raw data into images that scream purpose and precision. It’s hands-on work, crafting a system that doesn’t just sit there—it pulls you in. But I don’t stop at ideas—I make them real.

The proof? Events on the ground shaping the experience, a trip to Valle d’Aosta’s Astronomical Observatory under the stars, and numbers that roar:

• 356,817 users
• 1,309,237 views
• 7 hours and 35 minutes on site
• 3,223,228 events in 2024

This isn’t data—it’s impact.

Think of it like this: Aspergeronline is a living network, adapting to its community with a core of bold, inclusive design. My work gives it that spark—seamless whether you’re exploring tools or mapping services. It’s open, it’s real, and it’s mine from the ground up.

This is the story of how I took Aspergeronline and pushed it forward—designing tomorrow, one step ahead, one user at a time.
