Our mission

We believe inclusion starts with small steps.

Autigames was born from the union of families, healthcare professionals, and technology to build a real bridge for the development of millions of children.

Our story

Where we come from and why we exist

Autism Spectrum Disorder affects 2.6% of Brazilian children aged 5 to 9. For these children and their families, one of the greatest challenges is not the diagnosis itself — it's day-to-day life. The difficulty of starting a conversation, reading emotions on another person's face, understanding why a situation is funny or sad for others.

Autigames arose from the conviction that well-used technology — with a scientific basis, a clinical perspective, and child-centered design — can be a powerful development tool. Not to replace therapists or the family, but to expand practice opportunities in a safe, predictable, and stimulating environment.

In less than a year since launch, we have already reached over 2,000 downloads, users in more than 16 countries, and recognition as finalists in the Porto Alegre Innovation Award 2025. But the number that matters most is yet to come: the number of children who will find in Autigames a new way to connect with the world.
