Not Sensory Friendly

If they knew anything about Autism they would understand that sensory overload, especially photosensitivity is something that many autistic people struggle with, yet - there is no dark mode option.

Response from developer

Hi Rpax83, thank you for calling this out, and I’m sorry the app wasn’t sensory friendly for you. You’re absolutely right that photosensitivity and sensory overload are common challenges, and the app should have supported that. I recently released an update that adds full Dark Mode support. The app now follows your device’s Light or Dark appearance settings. If you update to the latest version and have Dark Mode enabled on your device, the app should display in Dark Mode as well. If anything still feels too bright, including specific screens, images, or pages, please let me know what you’re seeing and I’ll continue improving it. I really appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback.

Aggressively promotes ABA

While ABA can help autistic people mask traits seen as negative it also leaves them with lasting trauma and its harmful to promote it as wholly good. There are other services that can help autistic people understand ourselves and overcome our troubles rather than forcing us to be “normal”

Here are several links on harmful effects of ABA:

I encourage you to read more and listen to autistic people and our experiences.

Incorrect & Misleading data

If I had known the app was a front for the hate group Autism Speaks, I never would’ve downloaded it. I and thousands of other autistics have been quite clear “Nothing about us without us.” Autism Speaks is a hate group and no parent of an autistic should seek information through them.

Response from developer

This app is for informational purposes and not the expressed views of the developer. As a parent of a child with autism, I understand that not all information provided will apply to all and all views will not be agreed upon. This app has and will never be a front for one particular organization. It is with hope that you have given this energy to the organization that you have the concerns and issues with.
