Episode Details

What if technology could help autistic adults become safer, more independent, and more engaged in everyday life?

In this episode of Autism Labs, Mike Carr continues his conversation with Mike Courtney, founder of Daily Living Labs, about the future of technology and autism support.

Mike Courtney is a futurist, angel investor, professor, and innovator exploring how artificial intelligence, smart home technology, robotics, and community collaboration can improve daily living for individuals with disabilities.

Together, they explore practical ways technology can support families raising children and adults with higher support needs.

This episode covers:

• How smart home technology can improve safety for autistic adults
• Why independence requires more than just protection
• Using AI to discover solutions families may have stopped searching for
• Reducing caregiver stress through better tools and systems
• The future possibilities of robotics in disability support
• Creating communities where families, researchers, and innovators solve problems together

A major theme throughout the conversation is that technology should not replace human connection, it should strengthen it.

For many families, the biggest challenge is not a lack of love or effort. It is finding enough time, resources, and support to create the best possible quality of life.

Daily Living Labs is working toward a future where technology helps bridge that gap.

If you are a parent of a profoundly autistic child or adult, caregiver, educator, therapist, or disability professional, this conversation offers practical ideas and hope for what is possible.
