BOOK 4 Architecture for Autism and ADHD, Intellectual Disability: Insight Architectural Consulting

The 4th (third) in a series of 4 (four) books, BOOK 4: Architecture for Autism and ADHD, Autism and Intellectual Disability defines the attributes of ADHD and ID then provides specific architectural design responses for the creation of highly considered built environments for people with Autism and these diagnoses. Using a novel method developed by the author, the diagnostic criteria for ADHD and ID from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5 TR, 2022) are paraphrased and symbolically represented as land lots within architectural plan geometries. As the Architecture for Autism series unravels, the geometry created for Autism is accompanied by Anxiety, Depression, and Panic to provide more specified design responses that consider the complexity and spectrum of Autism. The sum of the author's work culminates in a unified architectural site plan geometry worth consideration now and far into the future.
