Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is neurodevelopmental condition characterizedby social interaction and communication difficulties, along with narrow andrepetitive interests. Being an spectrum disorder, ASD affects individuals witha large range of combinations of challenges along dimensions such intelligence,social skills, or sensory processing. Hence, any computer-based technology forASD ought to be personalized to meet the particular profile and needs of eachperson that uses it. Within the realm of Software Engineering, there is anextensive body of research and practice on software customization whoseultimate goal is meeting the diverse needs of software stakeholders in anefficient and effective manner. These two facts beg the question: Cancomputer-based technologies for autism benefit from this vast expertise insoftware customization? As a first step towards answering this question, weperformed an exploratory study to evaluate current support for customization inthis type of technologies. Our study revealed that, even though its criticalimportance, customization has not been addressed. We argue that this area isripe for research and application of software customization approaches such asSoftware Product Lines.
