Should someone with IDD use AI for emotional support?

As a small calming tool beside strong human support, it can help: breathing prompts, calm lists, patient listening. It must never replace the people, and any big or lasting feeling belongs with them.

Everyday life

Can AI help me calm down when I am worried?

On a worried day, AI can lead a slow breathing moment and help you build your own calm list: water, a walk, a favorite song. It listens without rushing. And the biggest rule stays: big feelings are people jobs.

The steps

Tell the AI how you feel, in any words.
Try slow breathing together, five times.
Build your calm list of small things that help.
Do one thing from your list.
Tell a person who loves you how you feel.

Stay safe

AI is not a doctor or a counselor.
Big or scary feelings go to a person who loves you, always.
