🧵 A little story about why I started working on a personal project for autistic people 1/ Before getting laid off from my last job, I dove back into coding. Did two projects for myself, just to get my head around it again. But after that? I felt lost about what to do next. #ActuallyAutistic

3/ Back then, during uni, we were working on a project focused on the autistic community. We interviewed this amazing lady - she was autistic, had autistic kids, AND studied psychology and autism at university.

4/ That conversation was mind-blowing. I learned so much about autism, the daily struggles people face, and the challenges they experience just for "not fitting into the norm."

5/ We had this idea involving VR, but we lacked the knowledge to make it happen. I had another idea too - something I believed could really help people - but it was too complex for us at the time.
