The target audience chosen for this research are people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Issues related to social inclusion are constantly in our daily lives, however, autistics still suffer from negligence and limitation in places frequented by society, it is known that the individual with ASD encounters several obstacles, either due their sensory limitations, difficulties in interacting or Communication.
