  You have arrived. Welcome to the ASPY world.
• 0:04
  Here's where we talk about anything and everything ASD in
• 0:07
  an upbeat and informative way. And now here's your man on the
• 0:11
  spectrum, your autism Ambassador, Daniel Morgan Jones.
• 0:19
  So here are five autism apps that you definitely need to
• 0:22
  check out. Hey guys, welcome back to the
• 0:23
  aspy world. My name is Dan, I have autism
• 0:25
  and ADHD and I make weekly videos all about the stuff.
• 0:28
  So if you're new around here and you want to learn more, make
• 0:30
  sure to hit the subscribe button down below.
• 0:32
  OK, Autism apps. OK, I have found some really
• 0:36
  awesome autism apps that I wanted to share with you this
• 0:38
  year, but also one of them is a new autism dating app and I'm
• 0:44
  very interesting. OK, let's get into it.
• 0:46
  So the first app Want to talk about is Speak Out.
• 0:48
  Now Speak Out is a app that was funded and founded by people who
• 0:52
  have children on the autism spectrum and they wanted them to
• 0:55
  learn to speak more or have it is the ability to speak more.
• 0:59
  Because obviously a lot of autistic people are not verbal.
• 1:01
  Some autistic people have no language at all.
• 1:04
  So having an app that you can have on your iPhone or your iPad
• 1:06
  where you can just click a symbol and it'll say a word for
• 1:08
  you out loud like toilet or hungry or food or sad or
• 1:11
  whatever. Speaker was one of those apps.
• 1:13
  It's absolutely amazing and I've left a link actually for all
• 1:16
  these apps in the description down below.
• 1:17
  Now with Speak out, I think there are some language buyers
• 1:19
  because I think it is a Portuguese app initially, so
• 1:22
  there may be some geographical issues.
• 1:25
  Right now I think you can get it in the United States and you can
• 1:28
  get it also in Brazil but I'm not entirely sure when it's
• 1:32
  released all over the world. But definitely check them out.
• 1:34
  I think the cause is pretty awesome.
• 1:36
  I think like what they do is amazing and you hire to check
• 1:38
  out, speak out now the next one is Collage.
• 1:41
  Now Collage is the dating app. Well I say dating app, it's not
• 1:44
  specifically primarily a dating app.
• 1:46
  What actually is going on is that Collage is a an app that
• 1:51
  allows or a website that allows you to kind of communicate with
• 1:55
  other autistic individuals. It's safely because this thing
• 1:57
  is very secure, very safe, and you can build up a groups of
• 2:01
  people to communicate with. So you can make friends through
• 2:03
  this app, but you can also potentially make romantic
• 2:06
  partners to this app. There are a bunch of
• 2:07
  possibilities and loads of cool opportunities coming on with
• 2:11
  this specific app. Now they have happily sponsored
• 2:13
  this video. So Collage is currently
• 2:15
  collecting people for their waiting list and if you're
• 2:17
  watching this after it's already launched then you can go to
• 2:19
  download the Collage app straight away.
• 2:22
  It's absolutely amazing. It's probably one of the most
• 2:24
  promising apps I've ever seen and so we've been used to very
• 2:27
  bad technology wise autism dating apps.
• 2:30
  There's only like one or two, but having the ability to have a
• 2:33
  good solid app that works and it's safe with no bugs.
• 2:37
  This is where Collage comes into it and I highly recommend it.
• 2:40
  So if you want to make friends, if you want to find maybe the
• 2:42
  love of your life, definitely check out Collage again.
• 2:45
  Link is down below. Now the next step want to talk
• 2:47
  about is Thrive. Now the Thrive app is something
• 2:50
  absolutely amazing. Now this is only available in
• 2:52
  America at the moment. And the most interesting thing
• 2:55
  about Thrive is I actually spoke to the founder, the person who
• 2:58
  who made the app, and she is a lovely woman.
• 3:01
  And she made this app because her children were on the
• 3:03
  spectrum and she wanted an app that would help organize their
• 3:07
  life, help make them more organized and keep up to date
• 3:09
  with all the things that they have to do.
• 3:10
  Because when your mum is bad enough to kind of keep on track
• 3:13
  of everything you have to do, when you're a mum of autism, at
• 3:15
  a moment of autistic boys, you've so many things to do.
• 3:18
  This app was designed by a mum who had these kids on the
• 3:22
  spectrum and now it's available for the masses.
• 3:24
  Now Thrive is pretty interesting.
• 3:26
  I've left a link and down below so you guys can check out
• 3:28
  Thrive. I think that it's an amazing app
• 3:30
  and I think that they're doing an amazing job.
• 3:32
  I love apps that come from a place of people wanting to do
• 3:35
  the best for themselves in their family when it goes down to
• 3:38
  disabilities, because this has so much more love behind it and
• 3:41
  I love that. Now the next stuff I want to
• 3:42
  talk about really isn't an app as such.
• 3:44
  It's more of a website. But I think this is amazing.
• 3:46
  Now it's called Able View and this is about a BLEVU.
• 3:51
  Now ableview.com is a site that is basically like a directory
• 3:56
  for businesses that are accessible.
• 3:58
  So it's accessible businesses from all abilities and
• 4:01
  disabilities. That feature is really
• 4:03
  interesting. It gives you a detailed view of
• 4:06
  a business before you visit it. So say say you have an autistic
• 4:09
  child and you want to take them to the dentist, or you take them
• 4:12
  to the hairdressers or you going to a grocery store.
• 4:15
  But what you don't want to do surprise them, just drop it on
• 4:17
  them. What you can actually do with
• 4:18
  Able View is look at the business before and has pictures
• 4:21
  inside. Maybe that shows you a video to
• 4:23
  that has all of these cool things.
• 4:25
  Which is a tip that I put in videos years ago, but this is
• 4:28
  now a website that does it. So you can actually go and get a
• 4:30
  free account from ableview.com right now.
• 4:32
  I think this is amazing. It's actually so groundbreaking.
• 4:35
  It's scary. Like like seriously scary.
• 4:39
  OK, so the last one I want to talk about, and this is kind of
• 4:41
  like a bonusy one. This is not really an app.
• 4:43
  This is absolutely amazing. This is a board game called the
• 4:46
  Affinity Board Game and it's made by autistic individuals for
• 4:50
  artistic individuals. And I love ball games, I love
• 4:53
  Dungeons and Dragons, Talisman, I love kind of settles of Catan,
• 4:56
  all the kind of things. Because I'm a traditional game
• 4:58
  of IPG now, a bunch of artistic individuals came together and
• 5:01
  like, hey, we love games, we love RPG, we love board games.
• 5:04
  Why don't make a game that we can learn and we can do, we can
• 5:07
  thrive within a board game. So they've come up with
• 5:09
  infinityboardgame.com and go there.
• 5:11
  Now I think it's in the Kickstarter phase.
• 5:14
  So you guys are getting some really good exclusives.
• 5:15
  Like nobody's ever seen these things before.
• 5:17
  This is why this video is so important now.
• 5:19
  Definitely go check them out. If you want to support that
• 5:21
  Kickstarter, definitely do it. I wouldn't know which one of
• 5:24
  these is most exciting to you. Is it the dating potential
• 5:29
  through an app? Is it the accessible businesses?
• 5:32
  Drop me a comment down below and let me know which one is your
• 5:34
  favorite, but don't forget to check out Collage and sign up
• 5:37
  for the waiting list. If you're watching this and it's
• 5:39
  still in development, I really want you guys to have first dibs
• 5:43
  on this app. It's actually amazing and it's
• 5:44
  going to be fantastic when it is out, especially for building
• 5:47
  community and friends. Guys, this would be awesome.
• 5:50
  If you want to share this video because you feel like it's
• 5:52
