Challenges before Brain in Hand
After receiving an autism diagnosis, Lena was recommended Brain in Hand through DSA to support emotional awareness, reminders, and accessing coping strategies. She had previously struggled with meltdowns, lack of structured support, and emotional overwhelm.
How Brain in Hand helped
Lena used the app to monitor emotions using the check-in system, recognise triggers, and prepare for difficult situations using the solution Pack - like upcoming surgery or university changes. Mood tracking and solution packs helped her build healthier coping mechanisms.
The results
Lena dramatically reduced her meltdowns by building emotional awareness through daily mood tracking, developed consistent routines using the diary feature and improved her academic performance in second year.
She now feels more confident, in control, and less overwhelmed by everyday challenges.
