A new app has been launched which uses Artificial Intelligence (AI), to give carers who suspect their children are neurodivergent, "a better picture of what's going on" whilst waiting for a diagnosis.
Bristol-based company Spicy Minds' app called Hazel gave users access to a series of tests where AI then interpreted the results and compiled personalised strategies for things such as school or holidays.
Spicy Minds CEO Ben Cosh said: "Parents shouldn't have to wait years to understand their child's needs and get practical support."
Nicola Bennett from Almondsbury, who waited five years for her son's autism diagnosis, said having access to the app would have been "amazing" for the family.
