Senior Thesis
For the first project, I wanted to create a connectivity between caretakers and loved ones of those who have Autism. As someone who has been living with a stepbrother who is autistic and completely non verbal, I have found both social situations and support groups to be difficult and stressful. When I go to a support group, I plan on meeting other people like me or people in a similar situation, but a lot of the time I just find myself surrounded by people who are completely different than me. This situation can make people feel even more hopeless and alone than before going into the support groups. The Autism app I designed Would essentially match you with people who are either like you or are in a similar situation as you. In the app the user gets matched with multiple groups based off of a list of questions that the user answers. The groups will be active for a week with daily questions that gets the groups talking. I want this app to create individual communities of people dealing with similar problems within the world of autism.
