An 18-year-old software developer has created an iOS app to help those on the autistic spectrum in their day-to-day lives

.to enable people to manage their anxiety, monitor their mental health and reduce burnout.

People can also use an energy accounting tool to help them avoid burning out during a busy day or week. Shallcross says: “Users give their activities Energy Impact Scores, which are between -10 and 10. The former would indicate that the activity is completely exhausting, while the latter 10 indicates that the activity gives the user energy.”

Finally, the app features profiles to make it easier for users to tell others about themselves in situations where they may struggle with communication. Shallcross adds: “There is a sensory section, which allows users to set their sensitivity as ‘under-sensitive’, ‘average’ or ‘over-sensitive’ for the different senses. Users can then add as many other sections as they want.

“The app is highly customizable across the board, meaning that people can use it in a way that makes sense to them. Also, there is no pressure to keep checking the app or to use it in a certain way. Often technology tries to make users constantly users, which can be an unpleasant experience. Aumi is made to be used however the user wants.”
