An emotion tracker for days words do not fit
By Bottle Me · Updated
Many autistic people experience alexithymia — difficulty identifying and naming emotions. A tracker that asks for colour and texture instead of labels respects that reality.
Intensity before labels
The entry asks “how full is the bottle?” not “what are you feeling?”. Colour and texture capture intensity and valence without forcing a vocabulary the moment may not have.
Sensory-friendly by design
No bright flashy UI, no sound effects, no pressure. Calm textures, simple choices and a record that never demands words.
Useful for the support network
A colour record of days — meltdown days, shutdown days, good days — is genuinely useful context for family and clinicians, without the person having to narrate it.
