A literature review was conducted to examine the role of IoT technology in the daily lives of autistic individuals and its potential in identifying and managing stress. The significance of this research lies in highlighting the role of IoT technology in addressing the challenges faced by individuals with autism and paving the way for further studies on the use of sensor-equipped devices to improve their quality of life. The correlation of the pillars smart devices - identifying stress with the help of technology, is analyzed through the following literature review.
