Fait: Financial Autism Insight Tool / Muhammad Afif Zainal Abidin … [et al.]

Personal financial management is always associated with normal society and is not particularly focused on people with disabilities, such as mild autism (level 1 autism spectrum disorder). Mild autism is a person who displays less intense autistic traits and requires less support than other autistic people do. These people are denied the opportunity to learn how to manage their own personal finances and must rely solely on their guardians. But we need to think about their future. This is to help them develop the ability to care for and manage their own finances without needing guidance. Furthermore, there is no innovation or application specifically designed for this group of people. Hence to improve, we used technology which is AI that would be the smart assistance called ‘FAIT’ which stands for Financial Autism Insight Tool. The FAIT application has been designed to guide a mild autistic user to learn about their spending habits, informing them on how much spending and savings they've made, and assist them to not overspend their money. FAIT can also remind users of any debt they did not complete or upcoming debt they need to complete. All of these features will be displayed creatively in order to attract them. This type of innovation can train and assist people with mild autism in gradually learning to manage their finances, as even if their autism is mild, they still struggle to understand certain concepts, particularly those related to personal finance.
