Spatial Design for Neurodiversity Part M of building codes and Regulations to consider Neurodiversity

The Flower Umbrella

Heya !

I am an architect (part 2 ) and worked within my masters part 2 with Neurodiversity and realised that there are no guidelines for disability in the realm of Neurodiversity for eg: lighting conditions and patterns. Could that be something to integrate in Part M ? Are there any architects out there that might have some precedents ?

I was wondering if we should write to the RIBA ?

Part M needs to be revised to include "invisible" disabilities and characterization of the built environment that would be adequate for those.

  • I'd recommend pods, or more individual spaces that had variables we could control. As we are each different this could be a point of empowerment for us to be able to adjust want we want, add comfort, etc. Normalising personalisation is something I think society needs to accept better. Everyone is different, ND or otherwise, so having flexibility and control based on personal preference is so important, even that is that you want to meet whilst walking outdoors, or have nap midway through your day, or soft cushions to comfort you. 

    For me,.warmth, soft textures, ambient lights are all very important. LEDs are like daggers to my eyeballs and trigger migraines. Cold temps just make me want to leave work. Unexpected loud noises are also like daggers toy nervous system
