Every rule on this board came from a real kitchen, a real school run, and a real kid.
We spent three weeks building this with one family and their autistic son, refining it dinner by dinner until it matched how he actually reads his world. Dinner sits in the same spot on every day. Bedtime is always the last picture. An empty morning stays visibly empty, because a blank space is information too.
His grandparents appear as their real photo, because a generic icon means nothing to him. When Dad travels, a “No Daddy tonight” marker appears on the board before dinner, so the evening holds no surprises. When the pickup plan changes on Wednesday night, Thursday’s board simply shows a different face under the school icon.
Then his mom asked for one more thing: to run it herself, without waiting on us. So now she can. She swaps a photo from her phone, adds a new therapist, rebuilds the week the moment a plan changes, or just asks the board to hide something. Anything it cannot do for her reaches us on our phones the second she asks.
Those three weeks of rules now set up in days for your family, with your photos, your icons, and your house rules.
“Every parent of an autistic kid would kill for this.” The dad we built it for, unprompted
Faces they know
Real photos of the people in your child’s life. Who picks up, who takes them to therapy, who is coming for dinner.
A color for each kid
Siblings each get a border color, so everyone can see at a glance whose swim lesson it is and whose playdate.
Your house rules, kept
Your dinner time, your bedtime, your screen time slots, your Friday ritual. The board follows your family’s rules, week after week.
Changed plans? Rebuild it yourself
Practice moved to Wednesday. Fix it in your calendar, tap Rebuild on the board, and the week is updated in seconds, from your phone, with no one to wait on.
Your photos, your icons, your call
Swap a picture, add a new sitter, or add an icon of your own with the calendar words that should show it. Drag a photo in on the laptop or pick one from your camera roll on the phone.
Just ask the board
A helper lives on the board. Ask why something is there, tell it to hide an event this week, switch an icon, or undo. Anything it cannot do, it sends straight to us.
