One thing I really liked was they did not put cloths on the tables.

And I know some people go, oh, that's not great.

Uh, and quite frankly, I think it's something our field desperately needs.

We are calling this segment The Other Side of the Table, uh, because here's something that I think myself and Mike have been thinking a lot about lately.

Um, in ABA, we love to say that we value lived experience.

We say we want to listen to autistic people.

Um, I, that's really why I do architecture, is that I wanted to do something where I felt like I could help people and make the world better, and particularly people from, you know, my own community, whether that be the broader disability community or the blind and partially sighted community.

There was a really lovely project that I did with Disordinary back in 2023, I think it was, um, called Seats at the Table, and we did a sort of six-month design project, and then it was an installation in a park in London for a month for the London Festival of Architecture, and it was co-designed with schoolchildren.

So we did these six workshops, some in mainstream schools and some in special educational needs and disability schools, and each group designed a chair for a person with a part- particular need.

So for the disabled students, that was kind of designing for their own desires, and for the non-disabled mainstream schools, we gave them prompts to help pull things out, and we ended up with this, like, beautiful set of six chairs that- You know, people could come and interact with, and it really acknowledged that whilst there's this really admirable goal of universal design, we're trying to make something work for everyone, and I think there is sort of some situations where that works.
