This paper focuses on the potential of smartwatchers as interventors in the process of emotional self-regulation
on individuals with ASD. Parting from a model of assistance in their self-regulation tasks, we review the main
advantages of smartwatches in terms of sensors and pervasive interaction potential. We argue the suitability
of smartwatches for this kind of assistance, including studies that had used them for related purposes, and the
relation of this idea with the affective computing area. Finally, we propose a technological approach for
emotional self-regulation assistance that uses smartwatches and applies to the mentioned intervention model.
