Frequently Asked Questions

Answers, not runarounds.

Everything autism parents ask us before signing up — and everything therapists ask before recommending AutismX. If your question isn't here, email us.

Getting Started

What is AutismX?+

AutismX is a complete autism support platform for families combining 18 modules — meltdown decoding, visual communication tools, speech therapy pathways, AI-personalized daily routines, a 24/7 AI assistant, and more — into a single companion app you can open on any phone.

How is AutismX different from other autism apps?+

Most autism apps solve one problem — a visual schedule, a communication board, or a mood tracker. AutismX combines 18 modules into a single companion app, age-grouped for children 2–6, 7–12, and 13–18+. Built by autism parents, therapists, and specialists — not a generic wellness brand.

What ages does AutismX serve?+

AutismX supports 3 age groups: Early Development (ages 2–6), School Age (7–12), and Teens & Young Adults (13–18+). Every feature adapts to the selected age group. You can create up to 4 profiles per household.

Does AutismX replace autism therapy?+

No. AutismX is a supportive tool for the 99% of time between professional sessions. It complements therapy, doctor visits, and educational services — it does not replace them. Always consult qualified healthcare providers for clinical decisions.

Is AutismX autism-affirming?+

Yes. Every module treats autistic children as whole humans, not problems to fix. AutismX was reviewed by autistic self-advocates to ensure our language, design, and approach honor autistic humanity. We do not endorse or provide 'cures.'

Features & Modules

What is the difference between a tantrum and a meltdown?+

A tantrum is goal-driven behavior — your child wants something and can stop when the goal is achieved or clearly denied. A meltdown is an involuntary response to overwhelm — regulation is lost and the child cannot stop until the nervous system settles. AutismX includes a 3-question decoder to distinguish them in 10 seconds, because the response for each is completely different.

How does the Speech Therapy Pathway work?+

You complete a 10-question assessment. AutismX generates a personalized stage profile for your child. You choose a daily practice length (10, 20, or 30 minutes) and receive tailored exercises daily. Progress tracks automatically and the pathway adjusts as your child grows.

What is Script Mode?+

Script Mode gives you the exact words to say in difficult moments. What to say. What never to say. What to say after the storm passes. Scripts are age-tailored across all 3 age groups and updated based on what actually works.

What is Meltdown Prediction?+

AI pattern recognition learns your child's rhythms — sensory load, transitions, food intake, sleep debt — and warns you approximately one hour before overwhelm is likely to hit. This lets you prevent instead of react.

How does the AI Assistant work?+

Smart chat covering 30 autism topics. Age-aware based on your child's profile. Includes an Emergency Mode for crisis moments. Never repeats answers. Available 24/7 on any device.

What audio therapy programs are included?+

12 total: 6 individual tones (Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, 432 Hz solfeggio) + 6 guided multi-phase programs including Deep Sleep Induction, Anxiety Calm, Focus Boost, Sensory Reset, Transition Bridge, and Meltdown Recovery.

Privacy & Technology

Does AutismX work on my phone?+

Yes. AutismX is a Progressive Web App that works on any modern phone (iOS 14+, Android 8+), tablet, or laptop. Add it to your home screen in 2 taps for one-tap access. No app store download required.

Is my data private?+

Yes. AutismX is HIPAA-aware, SSL-encrypted end-to-end, and we never sell user data. Your child's information stays inside your family account. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

How many family profiles can I create?+

Up to 4 profiles per household account. Each has its own age group, personalization, progress tracking, and content library.

Do I need internet access?+

For most features, yes — the AI Assistant, Daily Coach, and content updates require an internet connection. Core reference material (scripts, meltdown decoder, breathing exercises) can be saved for offline access.

Support & Evidence

Is AutismX evidence-based?+

AutismX is evidence-informed. Every technique draws from peer-reviewed practice or established clinical frameworks — Occupational Therapy sensory strategies, Speech-Language Pathology language pathways, ABA-informed behavior scripts, and CDC/AAP-aligned developmental guidance. We do not claim to be a substitute for a licensed clinician.

Who reviews AutismX content?+

Content is reviewed by our 3 licensed professionals (an OT, an SLP, and a BCBA) plus 2 autistic self-advocates who ensure the tone and framing honor autistic humanity.

How do I contact support?+

Email [email protected]. Family Access members get 24-hour response. Founders get priority support with faster response.
