Autism in Malaysia, by the numbers
Autism is rising.
The numbers
don’t hide it.
Around 9,000 Malaysian children are born with autism each year — roughly one every hour. In ten years the number registered grew almost eight times over. Schools, therapists and autism organisations are doing remarkable work, and still the hardest moments happen at home, long after the clinic closes.

How we solve it
Take what works in the therapy. Put it in the home.
Visual routines are one of the most studied supports in autism care —
106 studies place them among the 28 evidence-based practices
recognised by the National Clearinghouse on Autism Evidence and
Practice. Families rarely get to use them outside a session. That is the
gap we close.
Every day, not every session
An hour a week with a therapist is not where the hard part happens. Mornings are. Bedtimes are. Ally is there for those.
No cost, no waiting list
Ally is free and stays free. No referral, no assessment, no queue. A family can start the evening they find us.
Built with autistic families
Designed from lived experience and shaped by founding families, so it fits real homes rather than ideal ones.
So we built Ally.
Where Ally comes in
Help that starts
tonight.
A waiting list can take years. Ally works this moment, at home, on the iPad already in the house. It does three things, and nothing else.
Helping your child understand their feelings and how to support them gently
Ally is built around a simple, supportive idea: when children understand their emotions, they can respond with confidence instead of overwhelm.
Understand the Feeling
Recognize how they feel using clear visual cues.
Understand What They Need
Learn what your child may need in that moment.
Get the Right Support
Get gentle guidance on what help your child feel supported.
Help your child understand what’s coming next Visual Daily Routines
Does your child find it hard to follow routines or stay on track throughout the day?
Ally helps by guiding them visually, showing what needs to be done — one step at a time.
We turn daily activities into clear, simple routines your child can follow at their own pace, helping them build confidence, independence, and a sense of responsibility.

Support open emotional expression Emotional Regulation Tools
When emotions feel big or overwhelming, Ally provides gentle, child-friendly tools to help your child regulate at their own pace.
Based on their feelings, children are guided toward simple actions and strategies that support calm, safety, and emotional balance — without pressure or judgment.
Some days are calm. Some
days are overwhelming.
Many days don't follow a
plan at all.
Ally was built from lived experience, by parents who know what it
costs to hold a family together. It is free, and it stays free.
We understand the reality of daily life
Being a parent to an autistic child means carrying many roles at once — caregiver, advocate, planner, emotional anchor.
Some days are calm. Some days are overwhelming. And many days don’t follow a plan at all.
Ally was created from lived experience. We’re building more than an app, we’re building a community that understands, supports, and grows together.

We believe parents of autistic children deserve opportunities too. That’s why we’re committed to creating a company that supports flexible work, understanding schedules, and a culture where parents never have to feel guilty for showing up for their child.
As Ally grows, we hope to give back by creating opportunities for autistic parents and autistic adults to scale Ally or working on our future projects.
You’re not alone. And you don’t have to do this without support.
