Hello All!
My name is George, and I am a year 11 product design student . I have been given a mission to help people with a disability by making a product that would help people with that disability. I have chosen autism as I actually have hfa myself but everyone is different! So if you have any product suggestions then please comment!
Thank You Very Much!
Hello all!
Thank you all for your replies. It means the world to have others suggestions.
I have spent a long time thinking about it and I have liased with my design tutor, and we have both come to the conclusion that the best thing for me to pursue would be a mood light with 4 functions:
An Essential Oil Mister
Colour Changing Lights
Date And Time Display With Autism Freindly Alarm
A Speaker that plays relaxing ocean sounds to aid sleep
Thank you all once again!
What is an Autism-Friendly Alarm, and how does it differ from an ordinary alarm?
Hello!
I can personally 100% guarantee that no parrafin containing substances will be used in the design. As for quality check, we personally prototype up to 25 times before the main product

An Autism freindly alarm is in essence like a sensory lamp, but a lot more technical. It has many functions
There is no scientific research to prove that relaxing sounds helps sleep, however insaying that they can be considered as part of the ASMR group and from client interviews that I have taken from others, most of them found that relaxing sounds make them feel tired.
Everything Will be COMPLETELY battery powered, so no worries about mains electricity. Mains electricity is not discouraged or even talked about at my school. The most we have relating to product safety is the S in ACCESS FM/ AM
In regards to the mister, a key is required to access the of the device. Plus, even if tipped, the only thing that will come out is cold oil
Hope this Helps!
Might a malfunctioning oil mister next to the other electronics (or an autistic user spilling the oil whilst trying to refill the device) constitute a fire risk?
I remember from my GCSE days (about 30 years ago) that mains voltages are usually forbidden / dissuaded in school projects. How did you intend to power the thing?
Do the sounds of the ocean help autistic people to sleep? How do you know this to be true?
