Autonomy.ai: a small, early-stage prototype of a local, private manipulation detector for autistic adults, trained on natural-language patterns of coercion. Most tools in this space are built for autistic people by allistic ones; I built this one for my community, on consensual data, kept on-device. I'm proudest of it because the same literal-mindedness and pattern-recognition that makes autistic people vulnerable to manipulation is exactly what makes the tool possible — it turns a perceived weakness into a defence, giving autonomy back to the user.
