There has been a historical absence in empirical findings related to neurodivergent computer users and their user experience on the Web. The literature review of this research shows that this absence has spanned at least two decades. Despite a continuous call for more research, little empirical findings on neurodivergent Web user experience have been published. This knowledge gap has ensnared website creators who want to build accessible Web interfaces, but have little empirical research and only anecdotal evidence to rely on. One goal of this thesis is to generate empirical evidence.This thesis project responds to an empirical research conducted in 2005. Unlike the findings from that research, this thesis's findings shows that neurodivergent users between the age 18-21 today, appear to have no issues in context switching. They are highly familiar with browsers and browser features and are able to identify navigational regions. Rather than lacking in computer literacy, the participants in this thesis project have a nuanced understanding of the Internet, computers and the current Web design paradigm. This body of knowledge embodies the participants' own "meaning-making" of Web technologies, which informs their Internet habits.Besides an empirical void, this thesis also discusses a lack of neurodivergent representation in research and design processes, in which nondisabled and neurotypical perspectives are often presumed to be the default. This has led to a homogenous landscape in neurodiversity HCI (Human Computer Interface) research that can be classified into only three categories. This thesis ponders on the potential of research methodologies that are infused with theoretical frameworks from Racial, Women's and Disability Studies as well as from Cybernetics. The thesis project contemplates the concept of self-agency and experimented with recruitment criteria that did not require participants' disability disclosure. Although this posed difficulties when comparing this project's findings with prior works, it allowed the interviews to focus on the participants' perspectives and understanding of Web interfaces. The interviews are guided by the participants' actions, they focus on the participants' knowledge, user experience, preferences and not their disabilities. These interviews revealed that most participants are aware of the differences between the different "eras" of the Internet-Web1, 2 and 3. Some of them have strong preferences driven by design aesthetics and personal safety. The project also discovered that some participants identify navigational areas by a Web interface element's aesthetics, while others do so by its functionalities.
