  Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is neurodevelopmental condition characterized
by social interaction and communication difficulties, along with narrow and
repetitive interests. Being an spectrum disorder, ASD affects individuals with
a large range of combinations of challenges along dimensions such intelligence,
social skills, or sensory processing. Hence, any interactive technology for ASD
ought to be customizable to fit the particular profile of each individual that
uses it. The goal of this paper is to characterize the support of customization
in this area. To do so, we performed a focused study that identifies the
dimensions of ASD where customization has been considered on wearable and
natural surfaces technologies, two of the most promising technologies for ASD,
and assess the empirical evaluation that supports them. Our study revealed
that, even though its critical importance, customization has fundamentally not
been addressed in this domain and it opened avenues for research at the
intersection of human-computer interaction and software engineering.
