Have you used brain in hand

over 1 year ago

Hi All, my partner has asd and as you know it affects her whole life. we know it will never be what people call normal. what we are looking at is will the brain in hand [https://braininhand.co.uk/] device help her get through the day with less stress/shut downs/ melt downs a week

Or will it make the stress/ shut downs/melt downs shorter [half a hour shut down is better then half day]

I know they will never disappear but can the device help ??

I am very interested to hear back from anyone that has used it

many thanks

    How would this work for somebody that is resistant to checking their phone because they feel anxiety about keeping on top of things/demand avoidant? Still searching for a system that would work for my children - one that predominantly presents as autistic and has time blindness, the other predominantly presents as ADHD and is perfectionist so would feel a lot of guilt and shame for failing with another app if it wasn't suitable for them. 

    From all the recent things I've read making rest an integral part of our lives is how burnout/meltdowns/shutdown are to be managed. I'm not saying an app can't facilitate a healthier lifestyle, just curious and eager to find a system that works.
