Analysis of mobile applications for adults with autism spectrum disorder

Abstract

The article aims to present an analysis of mobile applications that currently serve adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (TEA) in any of the types or levels that are identified, since the literature varies with respect to the terminology they use. Therefore, an investigation of the applications they can access was carried out to identify what kind of support they provide to users, since these can be focused on the adaptation of the environment in which the person works, to organize their days and identify how they should behave at certain events, or in their case they work as support for family members. Derived from the analysis, a minimum percentage of the applications that serve adults with TEA is identified, giving guidelines to the fact that mobile applications can be designed and developed that can serve them with the aim of improving the way they interact with their family, school, social and work environment.
