Why are these statistics relevant to design? Largely because a considerable number of neurodivergent — as well as some neurotypical — people experience some kind of sensory processing difference, where a person could be hyper-sensitive or hypo-sensitive to, say, textures, visuals, smells or noises (and more). This means their surroundings are likely to have a significant effect on their well-being. And all that, of course, makes interior design and architecture important areas where understanding and response can radically improve a person’s quality of life.
