患有自闭症谱系障碍的人被认为与信息和通信技术(ICT)有亲和力，使其成为适合这一人群的理想媒体。虚拟环境--无论是二维的还是身临其境的--代表了一种可能具有特殊益处的特定类型的信息和通信技术。具体地说，本文讨论了心理学理论对为这一人群设计的VE的重要性。我描述了不同的自闭症理论(例如，心理理论、执行功能、弱中央连贯性理论)已经和可以做出的贡献，以及其他非自闭症特有的理论(例如，具身认知)的潜力。这些技术不仅阐明了我们对自闭症的理解，还可以用来为没有自闭症的人开发新技术。因此，除了作为一个专业领域，我认为VE在自闭症方面的研究已经并将更广泛地扩展到人机交互的边界。这是因为自闭症为人类的社会交流和学习提供了一个独特的窗口。此外，这一领域为自闭症患者在数字社会中提供了更好的包容性的机会。
Individuals with autism spectrum disorders supposedly have an affinity with information and communication technology (ICT), making it an ideally suited media for this population. Virtual environments (VEs) ‐ both two-dimensional and immersive ‐ represent a particular kind of ICT that might be of special benefit. Specifically, this paper discusses the importance of psychological theory for VE designed for this population. I describe the contribution that different theories of autism (e.g., theory of mind, executive function, weak central coherence theory) have made and can make, as well as the potential of other non-autism-specific theories (e.g., embodied cognition). These technologies not only illuminate our understanding of autism, but they can also be used to develop new technologies for people without autism. So, as well as being an area of specialism, I argue that VE research in autism has extended ‐ and will go onto ‐ the boundaries of human‐computer interaction more generally. This is because autism provides a unique window into human social communication and learning. Further, this field offers a chance for better inclusivity for individuals with autism within a digital society.
