About

We created this resource to help people understand autism with clarity and compassion. If you’re asking what autism is, our goal is to provide straightforward, research-informed answers that respect the diversity of the spectrum and the individuals and families who live it every day.

Our articles, guides, and explainers break complex topics into plain language. You’ll find information on early signs and screening, differences in communication and sensory processing, strengths-based perspectives, and supportive strategies at home, in school, and at work. We also offer myth-busting content, glossaries for common terms, and practical tips that encourage self-advocacy and informed decision‑making.

We prioritise accuracy, accessibility, and inclusion. Content is reviewed regularly against current evidence and informed by voices from the autistic community to reflect neurodiversity-affirming approaches. While our site can be a helpful starting point, it is not a substitute for personalised assessment or care.

Whether you’re newly exploring autism or deepening your understanding, we’re here to make credible knowledge easy to find and use. Learn at your own pace, share resources with others, and return as we continue to expand and update our library.
