Are there practical anxiety or self-management tools in the current catalogue that were made with autistic people in mind?
A tool can be designed for an autistic audience without being clinically proven, universally accessible or a substitute for professional support. Keeping those distinctions visible helps people inspect options without mistaking audience targeting for evidence of benefit.
Current understanding
Molehill Mountain is the current catalogue app specifically described by Autistica as an anxiety self-management tool for autistic people. Autistica Tips Hub provides free community-contributed tips and resources that may include practical coping ideas. ND Oracle currently treats both as things to inspect, not as proof of treatment effectiveness, and Molehill Mountain is not a substitute for appropriate professional care.

Related questions
- I want autism information or support. Which kind of organisation am I actually looking for?
- An autistic child is struggling to attend school. What barriers and support steps are worth exploring?
- Do I have to disclose neurodivergence or disability at work to ask for support?
- Do I need to tell DVLA about ADHD or another neurodevelopmental condition in Great Britain?
- How do I seek an autism assessment for a child in Scotland?
What evidence is still needed
- Independent evidence about outcomes, harms, accessibility and real-world fit before describing either resource as an effective anxiety intervention.
- More reviewed non-app and non-charity options so this route does not overrepresent the small current catalogue.
Where people may disagree
- Community tips can be valuable lived-experience material while still being inconsistent or unsuitable for another person; usefulness and evidential authority should remain separate.
When this answer should be revisited
- Molehill Mountain or Autistica Tips Hub changes availability, intended use, ownership or important limitations.
- New governed efficacy or safety evidence materially changes what can be said about either resource.
