Personal support from a mentor when needed.
Many people with autism and ADHD face various challenges and obstacles on a daily basis due to their disability, the ignorance of those around them, and inaccessible environments.
It can take a lot of energy to make the day work and to explain why some things can be challenging that for others are obvious and super simple.
With Mariko, we want to change this by offering a range of smart features and personalized support.

How does Mariko work?
1
1. Organize
Mariko helps you organize what needs to be done and by whom. For example, you can divide your day into morning routine, school routine and evening routine. Now you can find it quickly and easily directly on your phone, computer or the web.
2
2. Plan
Once we know who will do what, Mariko will help you plan when, where and how long it will take. You will receive reminders well in advance so that nothing is forgotten.
3
3. Prioritize
Knowing the order in which things need to be done and what is most important can be difficult, especially if we are feeling stressed. Mariko helps you with that.
4
Assessment
Mariko helps you identify your strengths, personal challenges and problems that may arise at school, work, leisure or perhaps at home.
5
Smart solution
Once we know what can be challenging, where and when, Mariko uses your strengths and what has worked for others to propose solutions to the challenges and problems we have identified.
6
Personal support
Sometimes we all need personal support to make our day work. As a user, you can quickly and easily get help from a mentor via chat directly in the app. Mariko's mentors are trained and have personal experience with NPF.
Mariko works on all different types of devices. On mobile, tablet, laptop and desktop.

Hi, there! Are you curious about how it all started and who Mariko is? Click play!
Feel free to share my story with others.
It all started with a letter from a girl called Vilja.
Below you can read her letter. It is her story and many others that have inspired us to create Mariko.
She wrote as follows:
I dream of life on the same terms as everyone else. Being able to go with my friends and train, study at the university and get a job at the web agency that I practiced at during high school.
I have a neuropsychiatric disability (NPF) which for me, means I have sensory and executive challenges. These challenges make it very difficult for me to handle noisy environments, and loud sudden sounds, they physically hurt.
I have to fight very hard to be able to organize and plan my day since my working memory is as good as a goldfish. When unplanned changes happen, such as the subway being late or lessons at school being suddenly changed or cancelled, I get very stressed and sometimes I have a meltdown and need several days to recover.
I am faced with various challenges and obstacles on a daily basis due to my disability, the ignorance of those around me and inaccessible environments. It takes a lot of energy to make the day work and already after lunch I am often very tired and full of anxiety.
I often feel ashamed and stressed about depending on others for support and having to explain every day why I sometimes need help with things that to you are obvious and super simple.
I'm tired of feeling anxious every time about whether I should join my friends for coffee, whether I dare to apply for the further education I dream of or that I have forgotten something important again.
The personal challenges, the ignorance of those around me, the anxiety and the dependence on others results in that I often refrain from getting involved in different activities. For long periods I have neither met friends, studied nor worked. It is easy for me to isolate myself and then feel very bad mentally. It becomes a negative spiral that is difficult to get out of.
What if...
- I had a tool that I could always have with me that would make me more independent?
- I always had access to personal support when I needed it without having to ask my friends or parents every time?
- more people had knowledge about my particular challenges and what help I need?
- I had a day without anxiety!
Hello!
Those of us working on developing Mariko have different experiences of neuropsychiatric disabilities (NPF). Some of us have our own diagnosis, others have children, family and friends who are affected in different ways by the challenges of living with Autism and ADHD.
People and technology in a unique combination.
Some of us were involved in the introduction of the World Wide Web and have since then worked with social and technological innovation in various ways. Most of us have more than 15 years of practical experience working with NPF through education, supervision, therapy, research and in various non-profit organizations such as Attention, Autism & Aspergerföreningen and Shedo.
We are social workers, therapists, educators, musicians, designers, web developers, interaction designers, usability experts, business developers and life artists who share a strong desire to make a difference in the world.
Some of us speak and understand, Node, MongoDB, Firebase, Dart, Flutter, React, Swift and CSS...... Others Swedish, English and Italian.... Some want to learn Japanese and some want to create their own language.
Our values
- We love to try new things, fail, learn and develop from that.

- Diversity.
- Voluntariness is a prerequisite for cooperation.
- Privacy is non-negotiable.
- Change & curiosity.
- The benefits of products and services arise from their use.
- To sell only what we use and believe in ourselves.
