Addressing a need: Could a research-based app called Molehill Mountain ease anxiety in Autism?

Molehill Mountain is one part of a digital learning package aimed at young people with Autism who struggle with anxiety. The package includes an email course, supporting web content and a community of peer support on social media, all intended to provide the user with the knowledge, confidence and skills to understand and self-manage the causes and symptoms of their own, very personal anxieties. It works by allowing the user to track their worries and how they are feeling through a quick daily check-in and activity, which then unlocks a daily tip about anxiety and autism. At each check-in the user can track their progress up Molehill Mountain and review their journey via a personal dashboard, the idea being that children with Autism can learn to identify the situations which trigger their anxiety and develop ways to respond.
