The Schedule - AI Planner for Autistic Adults Mobile App

Routines are an important part of life to many autistic adults. Some even report that their routines, if disrupted, may lead to overwhelm — one autistic adult even reported that during overwhelm, a person may lose their temper and forget what was said afterwards.

This mockup explores the idea of using AI, specifically LLMs to help check for disruptions that may arise against a specified routine schedule. The AI wakes up first in the morning, checks local news sources and other data locations, and reports if there are any possible problems with the day’s schedule.

We designed three parts of the app:

The Disruption Checker itself — an AI that lists possible disruptions for the day’s routines, and helps anticipate for those disruptions beforehand.

The Schedule — the part where users can upload and define their routine and let it help them go through the day.

Emotion Logger — to help maintain emotional awareness and to serve as a knowledge base for helping users manage their emotions.
