Everything you need to know
What is Brain in Hand?
Living with autism can lead to problems making decisions, controlling emotions and choosing appropriate behaviour. In challenging situations or when feeling anxious, it can become even harder to process thoughts, leading to heightened anxiety and sometimes crisis situations.

Brain in Hand gives personalised support when and where it’s needed, from an app on your phone. A diary, notes and reminders ensure you never forget what’s important in your day, easy access to your best coping strategies help reduce anxieties and a traffic light system help you to monitor your anxiety and request additional help from The National Autistic Society if needed.
