I understand BHVR wishing to change etc but.......
Do you not think on those with autisum? or those with disabled needs etc? I have two in my house with Autisum and change is very hard and not easy to cope or deal with, I understand BHVR wish to make and cause changes but can BHVR, understand those with a love for this game and the struggles to then deal with a lot of changes? some can deal with and others who struggle with it, can BHVR understand those who had disabilty needs, those who grow and love the game but then struggle with the not so needed changes when things were fine and okay?

I don't know what you expect here. The world changes. Time is a constant. I get that people with disabilities might have a harder time coping. But is time going to stop or slow down for them or anyone else? No. It is simply unrealistic to expect differently. Perhaps "live" games aren't the way to go for you or your family. There are plenty of complete games out there to choose from.

Assuming this is about the UI changes, I think the changes were disliked by many players, not just people with ASD. Frankly, as someone with ASD, it seems a bit strange to use that as an argument.
If it's not about the UI changes, then I can only say that a live service game is really not the place to go for stability. It quite literally states in the EULA that BHVR can and will make changes to the game's content whenever they see fit.

As someone with 3 asd kids and who works as an RBT in home and in school, I fully understand this concern, and while an absolutely valid frustration, it's not something that can be stopped. This game is always changing and evolving, and so not the best option for rigid thinking. My advice is to give yourself (or someone you care about who loves the game) ample opportunities to digest and process upcoming changes. Make sure you opt into the PTB to prime yourself before it goes live. Read changelogs and roadmaps often. Make visuals to remind yourself that change is going to happen, and that's ok. "It might look/feel different, and it's ok if I don't like it." And reward yourself for trying it, even if it's different. If you find you just don't like the change and can't play with enjoyment, it's ok to take a break and come back with fresh eyes later.
I hope everyone can do this, and either enjoy the game as it evolves, or find something else that brings joy. <3

Supposing that they need to change the game or UI for some reason, is there a way they could go about it that would be less disruptive?

I'm not sure there is a great deal more they can do. They present road maps and PTBs, as well as their plans weeks in advance, which gives time to prepare players for what's going to happen.
The only thing they can do is to make sure every single change is warned in advance. Sometimes, they'll sneak extras in with the live version which maybe could be brought up earlier.

I have autism myself, so when I am really into DBD, I sometimes get anxious of possible changes to my favorite killers and what not.
But that's not something BHVR can take into consideration. DBD is a live game, it needs changes, especially a live game like DBD that still has a lot of room for improvements. Stopping with changes just because of a handful of people with a disability would be a really bad decision, and extremely unfair to the vast majority of the community.
