## What is ICE4Autism?

ICE4Autism is the ONLY Autism-specific In Case of Emergency (ICE) app. It conveniently stores vital information about YOUR unique needs, sensitivities and behaviors directly on your iPhone or iPad. 

First responders, ER doctors and nurses may lack a sufficient understanding of autism leading them to misinterpret your unique behaviors and needs. ICE4Autism provides them with immediate access to that very information so they can treat you properly while helping to reduce what is likely a heightened level of anxiety.

ICE4Autism was developed based on the understanding that autism is a highly individual disorder differing dramatically from person to person. Even a few seconds can make a difference in a crisis, so the ability to share YOUR specific, individual information quickly and efficiently can dramatically impact the quality of care you receive and the awareness necessary to respond appropriately to you.

Because no one is immune to emergencies… ICE4Autism is THE practical, 21st century solution to the “safety-pinned ICE card”.  

ICE4Autism SPECIAL FEATURES:
* My Autism - share how you communicate and how you want to be communicated with; your unique behaviors and triggers and how to respond to them; and other unique treatment information
* Alert My Emergency Contacts - when selected, an emergency alert message -- including your GPS location and a link to your location pinned on Google Maps – is sent to your designated emergency contacts
*Special Instructions - tell first responders what they need to know about YOU and your unique needs. Help them to get you better!
* ICE Audio - ICE4Autism can “speak” for you! If you are non-verbal or incapacitated due to injury, this feature can play YOUR pre-recorded message including the most important information about YOU
* ICE4Autism Lock Screen - when your device is locked, the special Lock Screen option displays your most critical emergency information including your photo, name, birth date, blood type, emergency contact names and telephone numbers PLUS your individual, user entered Special Instructions
* Lock Option - enables you to password protect the information you enter in the app ensuring that nothing is changed without your permission. Data can be viewed in the locked position, but it cannot be changed.

ICE4Autism also stores information about your:
* Health Conditions
* Allergies and Sensitivities
* Medications
* Doctors and other Providers
* Insurance

### 1/5 — Not supported doesn’t work

*2018-11-27, version 1.0*

Do not buy this app not supported with the new os try message the app developer about the issue of not saving the screenshot to your photos for your lock screen just ignores you . Shame it could been a good app . Be getting refund .

### 5/5 — NICE APP

*2016-06-16*

my brother as autism and this is a great app to let people know about him only one issue how can they access it if the phone is locked you need to do a update where it can have full access from the lock screen other wise its usless can u update for it to do that ?????????????

### 5/5 — Well worth it

*2016-02-16*

The peace of mind that this app provides is well worth the small price tag. It's loaded with very intuitive and easy to use features that make configuring it and getting started beyond simple. All in all 10/10 app for a great price

### 4/5 — Great apart from one major flaw

*2015-06-14, version 1.0*

This is really useful as an Autism-specific reference for emergencies. The ability to have the relevant info easily accessible and specific to the requirements for treatment and care is great.
There is one major problem, however. The date of birth field is automatically set to the U.S. Format (month-day-year).
It really needs to be changed - either to display the full format, or to be able to switch between display formats. I'm in the UK, and we use day-month-year. Not being able to switch the display format is incredibly dangerous- my DoB is displayed "incorrectly " and could lead to records being missed/lost.
Also, I don't use the lock screen - created my own instead- because the screen is hard to read. The colour scheme doesn't work.
Fixing those issues would merit 5 star review.

*2015-04-14*
