Hi everyone, I’m interested in everyone’s thoughts and opinions on fonts preferred for those on the autism spectrum. A lot of people relay that Comic Sans is a preference. However, I don’t like comic sans. It has been used for 20 years in schools and for adults and I want to know what autistic individuals in the community think about comic sans. And explanations why it is perceived that comic sans font is preferable to let’s say arial or times Roman. I notice the Autistic Society website does not use comic sans. Which I’m glad about. Any thoughts, feeling and expressions welcome. Thanks everybody.
Hello CG Oakling - lovely to hear from you.
Arial and Calabri are the only ones I ever use. The former is slightly more compact than the latter. I like the 'look' of Calabri the most. ...BUT... I am blessed with good handwriting so I do exercise that skill whenever possible.
A hand written letter of complaint OR compliment is always a 'power move' in my experience.
