Autism or autism spectrum disorder is a combination of conditions characterized by challenges with speech and nonverbal communications, social skills and repetitive behaviors. With a little bit of help most of the autistic people can become functioning adults that do not require any kind of assistance. Of course there are different ranges of autism spectrum disorder, so not all of these apps will be helpful for every person. However, I have consulted a psychiatrist while selecting the apps and they reassured me that these will, generally speaking, be helpful in one way or another. Note: these apps were tested on a Sony Xperia Z smartphone with a custom ROM, but they should work just fine on any Android device that’s been properly updated.. The apps performed fine and there were no problems during testing. Some apps or features may require an active Internet connection but most of these are fully available offline. The apps are not in any particular order due to their highly varied nature.
