Autismy · Accessibility
A clearer way to communicate individual support needs.
Autismy is a product I’m developing to help autistic people share the information that matters in daily life—from communication preferences and routines to sensory needs and sources of support.
Important context is often scattered or difficult to repeat.
Autistic people and their families may need to explain the same needs across schools, healthcare, activities and new environments. Information can be lost between settings or captured in formats that do not reflect the individual.
A practical, person-led profile.
Autismy explores a structured way to record and share useful information while keeping the person, their preferences and their consent at the centre.
What I’m working through
- How to make profiles easy to create without reducing a person to a checklist.
- How information can be updated as preferences and circumstances change.
- How to support families, schools and professionals without taking control away from the individual.
- How privacy, consent and selective sharing should work from the beginning.
My role
I’m responsible for the product direction, research, technical architecture and early prototypes. The work brings together my experience in software development, operational systems and human-computer interaction.
