Outside the box

We're not working towards normal, we're working towards thriving.

Thriving Outside the Box is a support platform for autistic adults — built with neurodivergent people in mind, at a pace and volume you control.

Tip: use the accessibility button at the top right to change theme, text size, motion and font.

What we're building

Affirming, not correcting

Support that starts from how your brain actually works, instead of asking you to mask your way through the day.

Sensory-first design

Every screen can be turned down: quieter colours, no motion, bigger text, patterns off. Set it once and it stays.

Practical tools

Energy tracking, scripts, routines and planning built for executive function that comes and goes.

Our promise about comfort

  • No autoplay, no flashing, no sudden movement — anywhere.
  • Textures stay faint by default and disappear entirely in low-stimulation mode.
  • Your settings save locally. You never need an account to be comfortable here.

Energy Tracker

Log your energy on a 1-5 scale through the day, look back at your history, and get gentle insights.

Open Energy Tracker

Script Builder

Sixteen fill-in-the-blank scripts for hard conversations — accommodations, boundaries, appointments.
