Is there any websites or links where there is advice on how to design or tips on designing bedrooms for autistic adults? My family will be building a new house and i'll be moving with them so I want my bedroom to be designed specifically for my needs with my autism.

A quick search on the internet showed several links:

Designing a Room for a Child With Autism? Keep These 4 Considerations in Mind

Many of these articles are focused on the needs of young autistic children. But they can also apply to adults.

I will probably make one recommendation. When the house is being constructed, have them pack all the walls of the bedroom with fiberglass insulation, this includes the interior walls. This is fairly inexpensive addition during the construction phase. The insulation acts as a sound deadener. It really keeps the noise level down, way down.
