Autism nowadays has become one of the most prominent neurological disorders around the world. Despite having many medical and psychological endeavors and educational programs autism rate is increasing annually. Autism is a neurological disorder that is why finding a definite treatment seems to be difficult. Furthermore, especially in developing countries there is a lack of information about autism and how to behave with autistics, for that, many autistics get no education and do not have a chance to communicate with other people. This creates social, economic, and psychological problems in society. From 2000s onwards there are few attempts to search about autistics' needs in physical environment pertaining to architectural design. However, the disorder requires more research and observation to know which spatial qualities may enhance their performance in learning process, and encourage them to participate in the normal life. The Purpose of this study is to prepare a comprehensible design checklist for architects and interior designers to be used in design of spaces for autistics.
