Or Not?” app helps children with autism understand and practice what to do… and what not to do… in real-life social situations. Filtering thoughts and actions can be a challenge for children with autism or ADHD. This app helps children find appropriate actions for over one hundred challenging social situations. Kids also learn to think about how their actions make other people feel. The “Do It… Or Not?” app gives your child the social filtering skills they need to better manage social situations at home, school and in the community. What parents say about our awesome apps: *** 5 stars! Brilliant! An app that understands how kids actually learn. Thank you. *** 5 stars! Your social skill apps are excellent! “Do It… Or Not?” provides: - More than 100 situations frequently faced in a student’s everyday life, from annoying siblings to forgotten homework to unwanted birthday gifts. - Each situation can play out in four different ways. Students practice identifying how specific responses would make their friend feel and whether it is okay to do. For each situation where they might want to do something negative, students identify what is okay to do in that situation. - Students progress to the next level only when mastery of the current skill is demonstrated. - 'At a glance' reporting shows you instantly how your learner is progressing. - The fun Reward Center motivates even hesitant learners. Most exciting, this app offers independent AND therapist mode. In independent mode, answers are displayed and the learner taps the correct answer. In therapist mode, no answers are displayed. For each question, the student answers orally and the therapist taps whether the learner's oral answer was correct or incorrect. Both modes earn coins for the Reward Center.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Autism Emotion holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Autism Emotion has 36 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Autism Emotion's written reviews are positive against 50% of Do it... Or Not?'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Autism Emotion ships an update every 32 months, Do it... Or Not? every 23 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
