Hi everyone, I built an app to find patterns

[cogable]

Hello everyone,

I'm Dorothy, and I'm joining this community with a specific hope. I've been a caregiver for a traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivor for the past six years—and I still am today.

It's a journey that has been long and arduous. The hardest part has been figuring out what helps and what harms her, especially when she is unable to communicate these things to me. I started tracking everything on paper and was stunned when I saw patterns that genuinely helped her. I built the Cogable app to make that process easier and more effective for myself and others.

It helps track daily patterns—moods, symptoms, sleep, activities, and sensory input—to visually connect the dots that are impossible to see when you're in the middle of it all.

I'm sharing it here because I see similarities in the challenges some autistic individuals face: the experience of sensory overload, the frustration when communication fails, and the need to understand personal triggers and patterns.

Cogable isn't a cure or a therapy. It's just a practical tool. There is a completely free plan you can use forever (no trial, no credit card) to see if it helps you find clarity in your own patterns.

If you're curious, you can check it out here: Cogable

I would be incredibly grateful for your perspective and feedback if you do.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to learning from this community.

Best,
Dorothy

Sounds very intriguing. Are you on the autism spectrum? What a great idea to design an app as such. Are you able to use this with your client?

Thanks, I hope it can help people with autism too. I don't think so but I have been asked if I was autistic before

If you're curious

Honestly not. Everything is patterns, don't need help in this department.

This might be a great help for parents raising children with ASD.

Yes, it might. I hope so anyway.

I think I would have difficulty NOT seeing patterns everywhere.

I think it's a great idea and would be a fantastic tool for the parents of teenagers regardless of whether or not they're autistic. What you say about not being able to see when you're caught up in the middle of it all is very true in most situations. Can't see the forest through the trees.

I've always prided myself on my pattern spotting abilities and anomalies in patterns especially stand out to me, this formed a big part of much of my success in life. Yet when it came to noticing patterns in my own behaviour it took more than 40 years and a full burn out before I started looking at myself properly in an objective way.
