All the FeelZzz 2.0.2

What is All the Feelzzz?

All the Feelzzz is a tool developed in collaboration with the autistic community, acknowledging that autistic individuals often have distinct sensory experiences compared to neurotypical individuals. This application strives to illustrate these differences through graphical representations that encapsulate a nuanced and multidimensional understanding of feelings, potentially resonating with those who process sensory input in unique ways. Recognizing the complexities of emotional and physical experiences for autistic individuals, All the Feelzzz aims to support users in navigating challenges related to healing, expressing discomfort, or articulating their authentic selves without external pressure.

The graphics within All the Feelzzz are thoughtfully designed to reflect various qualities such as texture, intensity, imagery, and color. The intent is that users will connect with at least one aspect of a Feelz card, facilitating their ability to name, comprehend, and communicate their experiences beyond conventional methods such as traditional pain scales, which may not suit all users.

Who is this App for?

• Autistic individuals: All the Feelzzz provides an alternative communication method for expressing “pain, discomfort, and perceived differences” in bodily sensations. While it accommodates those who utilize symbols like spoken words or pictures, the graphics are also accessible for users who may struggle with reading or expressing themselves during emotional episodes.
• Family members and caregivers: This tool empowers caregivers to respond effectively to autistic individuals experiencing discomfort, offering strategies to facilitate expression through the Feelz cards.
• Educators: Teachers can utilize All the Feelzzz to promote an inclusive environment that amplifies their autistic students’ authentic voices within educational contexts.
• Healthcare professionals: In clinical or hospital settings, All the Feelzzz serves as a supportive resource for communicating with autistic patients who may find standard pain scales inadequate. The application employs sensory-based visuals that cater to diverse communication styles.

While crafted specifically for autistic experiences, All the Feelzzz can also benefit anyone who has difficulty articulating their internal sensations. The Feelz cards empower users to identify bodily feelings without requiring verbal communication. This nonverbal approach can significantly enhance health, safety, and overall well-being by allowing individuals to convey essential information about their physical state.

The creators hope that All the Feelzzz proves beneficial for a broad audience, offering a unique means of self-expression in times of need.
