  down below this video and following all social media I
• 0:44
  have looked daily videos. Super dope.
• 0:46
  Guys, what is going on? I am so pumped because I've
• 0:48
  never done a video like this before but I use tech daily like
• 0:52
  I use tech all the time. So I'm going to go down now and
• 0:54
  breakdown some of the the tech that I think that you should
• 0:57
  definitely look out for a Cyber Monday because look this
• 1:00
  climate, this economic climate, we're all looking to grab a
• 1:02
  bargain, right? And there's no greater time to
• 1:04
  get a good bargain than when Cyber Monday is happening,
• 1:07
  especially for people on the spectrum will need assistive
• 1:10
  technology to help them. Because technology has saved my
• 1:13
  life. And I mean that guys.
• 1:15
  Before I had an iPad and A and A and an iPhone or a smart watch
• 1:19
  or an ox, I was completely useless.
• 1:20
  Like I couldn't remember to take on medication.
• 1:22
  I couldn't always get up. I couldn't always go to class.
• 1:24
  My life is pretty much a must. These assistive technologies,
• 1:27
  these accessibility technologies have changed my life, and I just
• 1:31
  wish I had heard about them earlier.
• 1:33
  So here's my recommendation of what you should be looking out
• 1:35
  for if you don't already have them.
• 1:36
  OK, so the first one is communication apps and devices.
• 1:39
  Communication devices, You can get different ones for autism.
• 1:43
  They'll be like small like iPad things or you can buy like a
• 1:46
  tablet. So any tablet would do you get a
• 1:49
  tablet, It could be an Android tablet, it could be an Amazon
• 1:52
  tablet, or it could be an Apple tablet, like the iPad.
• 1:56
  And you can get apps for these, like Proloto to go.
• 1:59
  I hope I'm saying that right, which is an app that allows you
• 2:02
  to hit symbols and it will speak for you.
• 2:05
  But if you don't have that app, you can actually just use the
• 2:08
  tablet to type out a word, highlight it, and get the actual
• 2:12
  tablet to speak for you. The accessibility functions of
• 2:15
  tablets have just absolutely exponentially increased.
• 2:18
  You know if you have an issue with typing, say you're dyslexic
• 2:20
  as well as autistic. I use mine to dictate to my
• 2:23
  phone on my iPad and it will type that out for me.
• 2:26
  I wrote my book Autism for Adults, which came out this
• 2:30
  year, September 26th. Now autism for Adults was
• 2:33
  written completely by me talking to my iPhone whilst running on a
• 2:36
  treadmill. Absolutely amazing.
• 2:38
  And that kind of technology, it's just absolutely like mind
• 2:41
  blowing. So definitely keep an eye out
• 2:43
  for tablets and apps for communication.
• 2:45
  The next one is sensory friendly devices.
• 2:47
  Now you can find a lot of different types of things like
• 2:49
  bubble lamps, strip lights. I have a bunch of different
• 2:52
  lights in my you see some behind me here.
• 2:54
  And those are so good because you can change down the warmth
• 2:58
  of them, you can change down the the brightness of them, you can
• 3:01
  change the color of them, you can have them match to music,
• 3:03
  make it really ambient and also big two bubble lamps.
• 3:06
  These are so good for sensory friendly houses or sensory
• 3:09
  friendly rooms and environments. I highly recommend checking them
• 3:12
  out because these are always really good ones that are on
• 3:14
  deal on Cyber Monday. Definitely check that out guys.
• 3:17
  If you are interested in anything you're talking about
• 3:19
  right now. I'm going to try and leave a
• 3:20
  link to everything on Amazon that I think is handy dandy for
• 3:23
  you guys so that you can actually check it out.
• 3:25
  So check the description, see the link and cover time on
• 3:28
  Monday. If it's on your watch list and
• 3:30
  it's been reduced, then you'll get a little from Amazon saying
• 3:32
  hey Amazon item in your watch list has been reduced which is
• 3:35
  super dope. Okay.
• 3:36
  So before we get any further, do you want to say thank you to
• 3:38
  today's video sponsor? Brilliant.
• 3:41
  Now Brilliant is a non prescription homeopathic
• 3:43
  medication I use specifically for ADHD, but you can use it
• 3:47
  mainly for things like anxiety and stress and reduced feelings
• 3:51
  of restlessness, irritability and impulsivity, which is also a
• 3:54
  really good bonus. Now the cool thing is that this
• 3:56
  actually helps increase focus and concentration, which I think
• 3:58
  is awesome. And it's completely like there's
• 4:00
  no nasties in it. This is not addictive.
• 4:02
  Super supernatural, right? So you can get your hands on
• 4:05
  this from the link in the description down below.
• 4:08
  And I will give you a disc help which you can use the code.
• 4:11
  Ask B-15 to get 15% off your first purchase.
• 4:14
  If you are thinking about taking brilliant, consult with your
• 4:16
  doctor first just to make sure that everything's kosher.
• 4:19
  OK, guys, let's get on with the video.
• 4:22
  OK, so the next thing is educational or learning apps.
• 4:24
  Now there are so many educational apps and learning
• 4:27
  apps, and what happens usually a Cyber Monday is that the app
• 4:30
  stores will have this discount rate or they'll have a
• 4:33
  percentage off of different types of apps.
• 4:35
  This could be things like the language and speech apps that
• 4:38
  could be learning for reading and writing, especially if
• 4:40
  you've got a tablet. It could be like using a stylus
• 4:42
  to read and write. Then it could be educational
• 4:44
  apps that could help you boost things.
• 4:46
  Like, you know, maybe it's English, or maybe it's
• 4:48
  mathematics, or maybe it's science.
• 4:50
  Keep a lookout for these apps because they're always a winner.
• 4:53
  So the next one is behavioural tracking and other types of
• 4:56
  wearable tech. Now wearable tech like a smart
• 4:59
  watch or or maybe like a Fitbit tracker.
• 5:02
  These are really good for something.
• 5:03
  Now the thing that I find really good to them is you can set up
• 5:06
  alarms that if your heart rate is increased or it raises, it
• 5:08
  can send you a little bit of an alert and it tells you to chill
• 5:11
  out and take a step back and do some breathing.
• 5:14
  That's fantastic for me. It's been amazing.
• 5:16
  Every time my heart increases and it knows that I'm about to
• 5:19
  meltdown, my Apple Watch on my smart watch will say to me, hey,
• 5:21
  take some time, take your breath.
• 5:23
  We can even do relaxation apps on on the watch.
• 5:25
  So different. Lookout for those wearable tech
• 5:28
  behavioral trackers. They're super awesome and they
• 5:30
  double up as watches and like fitness exercise things.
• 5:33
  These are really, really good to keep track of all your data and
• 5:36
  how your heart is fluctuating. OK, so these are the last two of
• 5:39
  my favorites. You the first one is virtual
• 5:41
  reality. Now I'm a huge virtual reality
• 5:44
  buff. Like I have a Metaquest Pro.
• 5:46
  I'm going to Metaquest 2 and I'm also going to buy the Metaquest
• 5:49
  2 when it comes out. And the new Apple vision?
• 5:51
  The AR Mixed reality glasses. But the reason I found it so
• 5:54
  interesting is because there's things like job simulators on VR
• 5:58
  headsets. You can play games attracting
• 6:00
  people socially. Be who you want to be.
• 6:02
  The actual accessibility of having virtual reality headsets
• 6:06
  opens the door to so much possibilities and learnings.
• 6:08
  You can play things like Minecraft in VR.
• 6:10
  You can meet friends in in whole new worlds and and really
• 6:14
  interact with them and build social confidence.
• 6:16
  This thing has been amazing for me.
• 6:17
  I think without VR technology I think my life would be a lot
• 6:21
  more confined to just one room. But now me and my entire team,
• 6:25
  we work here on the after World. We have access to each other
• 6:28
  through VR and we can sit in like an office in a visual
• 6:30
  environment and it's absolutely amazing.
• 6:32
  So definitely look out for things like the Metaquest and
• 6:35
  and the Pico. Those two are probably the
• 6:37
  biggest ones right now. So I'll try and come down below
• 6:39
  again. And the last one, and I actually
• 6:41
  love this smart home technology. Yeah, Alexa, Google Home Hub or
• 6:45
  a Siri speaker. These are amazing and they're so
• 6:47
  affordable. OK guys, I'll see you in the
• 6:49
  next video. Peace.
