Please reply if you have the time, Interested into your opinion

Hello, my name is Thinesh and I am creating this discussion to ask of your opinion on a GCSE NEA DT brief. For my DT NEA Project, I am going to try and create a product which helps people (mainly those with autism) to be less stressed and anxious within public areas. I am currently working on my DT NEA project and require some additional opinions on my potential product. Since this is a discussion about autism, I would like to receive some feedback directly from people who have this as I believe that it can benefit me greatly. If you can, please could you reply to this with some needs and wants that you think I should apply towards the creation of my product? That will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Please can you submit your needs and wants about this design brief attached below, Thanks.

To design a product which helps the user to reduce their anxiety while in crowded areas/public spaces. It should be suitable to be used by a range of different age groups and can be used in various scenarios.

  • I would suggest that whatever it is, that it is unobtrusive. If an autistic person is feeling stressed in a crowded public space having attention drawn to them is the last thing they would want.
