Open offices, despite their tangible advantages, are challenging for autistic individuals due to continuous visual and social interruptions. In order to filter out these distractions and enhance autistics' attention and communication with their coworkers, here we introduce the mediated reality mirror (MRM) concept deriving from the inspiring developments in diminished and augmented reality. We conducted two bodystorming workshops and interviews with 14 non-autistic participants in order to inform the design process of MRM and our future studies with autistics which is a one shot opportunity. In this paper we present the outcomes of the workshops and the interviews as well as their contributions to our future studies with autistic users of MRM.
