Abstract

This short paper presents a philosophical analysis of the ways in which assistive technologies (ATs) can result in the stigmatisation of users with ASD. It frames the discussion in the context of the medical and social models of disability and outlines a number of ethical risks that might arise from the project of developing ATs.
