This study aims to co-design a mobile health (mHealth) app to support physical activity and social connectedness in autistic youth ages 16–25 and their families. Autistic youth and their parents or caregivers will participate in virtual group sessions to share their experiences, preferences, and ideas about technology, physical activity, and family connectedness. Participants will help shape the app’s features, design, and usability to ensure it is accessible, engaging, and relevant to the needs of autistic youth and their families. Feedback gathered throughout the co-design process will be used to refine the app before it is evaluated in a future study.
