AuTie is a smart UAE-developed app that combines technology with a human-centred vision to support the autism community through a safe and meaningful digital space for families, caregivers and related service providers. In its coverage, Zahrat Al Khaleej highlighted AuTie as an Emirati initiative with growing international reach and a strong social mission.
During its first months, AuTie recorded rapid growth, with its user base increasing by 400% over the last two months. This momentum reflects rising demand for a dedicated autism social networking platform that brings together community support, trusted resources and relevant services in one place.
AuTie has attracted families from 27 countries, while the United Arab Emirates remains its largest user base, accounting for approximately 65% of total registered families. The platform has also reached users in Brazil, the United States, the United Kingdom, Egypt and Jordan, in addition to countries such as Germany, France, India, Qatar and Australia.【
These figures underline AuTie’s ability to meet a real need among autism families both in the UAE and internationally. The platform is designed to provide a supportive digital environment backed by relevant knowledge, guidance and access to services that help families feel more connected and less isolated.
AuTie is also presented as the world’s first social networking platform dedicated entirely to the autism community and developed in the UAE. Its broader vision is to demonstrate how technology and cultural understanding can work together in service of a meaningful social cause.
According to Aysha AlKaabi, Founder and CEO of AuTie, the platform’s rapid growth confirms that Emirati innovation can make a global impact. She emphasized the ambition to continue building a platform rooted in human values and committed to giving autism families the community support they need.
AuTie is scheduled for its official launch in October during AccessAbilities Expo in Dubai. The platform aims to empower parents and caregivers of autistic children and adults by building a safe and supportive community that offers trusted resources while respecting privacy and local cultural values.
Through AuTie, families can share experiences and access specialists, clinics, schools and autism-friendly service providers, helping reduce isolation and challenge social stigma. Born in the UAE with a global vision, AuTie seeks to reach more autism families around the world and equip them with hope, resources and a supportive community.
