2. Mini Elevator Pitch
We are developing an app to help the family and
friends of someone with autism to help deal with
what goes through their minds in situations and
how to respond. It also gives information about the
different types of autism and how it may mature.

3. The Reasons for Our App
Autism is a serious case for some, and can
become very hard for the carers as well as the
person diagnosed with autism. We are aware how
challenging it can be and decided to help. We
created our app because we want people who are,
or care for autistic people to have an easier time.

4. Some Problems
The problems are that many people treat autism as a taboo
subject, mental illness is something which a lot people deal
with on a daily basis, and to be precise, 20% of the world’s
children and adolescents have to as well whether they care or
are autistic.

5. Target Audience and there Feedback
We conducted a survey and the results showed that 75% knew someone
who was autistic and all wanted to help them. As well as this we found that
most people believe our app should be free and that it is a good idea. We
received a lot of feedback, mostly suggestions of references and ideas.
These consisted of books and films that may help. Our target audience is
someone who knows and wants to helps someone who is autistic

6. What problems are we addressing?
When the family's or friends of an autistic person are feeling lost and
stressed, our app is designed to help them through that time. To guide
people in how different ways help and other references. Not just that but
we are aware how hard it can be and think we can help.

7. How do we know we are solving a problem?
We know we are solving a problem because we know people who are
experience in working with autism and we have collected techniques and
ideas from them. We know it works because it does with them and also
we have a range of different ways to help.

8. Other apps similar to ours
There are no apps on the market that are the same
as us but there are apps for autism. However they do
not do what our app does and specialises in certain
things e.g. learning
