Through a three-phase co-design process involving both autistic and non-autistic children, the study explores engagement levels, sensory preferences, and communication dynamics during the development of a collaborative play prototype. Additionally, it explored how children played with the resulting co-designed prototype. The study involved nine autistic and four non-autistic children, aged 7\u201312, recruited from two locations in Qatar. The findings revealed that autistic children initially preferred solitary play, with low levels of engagement. However, as they progressed through the structured activities in the co-design phases, the autistic children gradually transitioned towards collaborative play. The study also demonstrated diverse sensory preferences among the children and highlighted the importance of non-verbal communication in facilitating collaboration. Overall, the study showcased the effectiveness of structured co-design activities in fostering social interaction among autistic children and emphasised the importance of adaptable design techniques to accommodate diverse sensory and communication needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:separator {\"opacity\":\"css\"} --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Citation:<\/span><\/strong> <br \/>Hijab, M.H.F., Al Aswadi, N., Khattab, S., Ahmad, K., Neves, J., Qaraqe, M., Bahameish, M., Jim\u00e9nez-Andr\u00e9s, M., Othman, A. and Al-Thani, D., 2025.
