Every resource has a source
We list who published each resource and what kind of organisation they are, so you can judge it yourself.
Autistic voices come first
Autistic adults know autism from the inside, so we give their organisations and writing a central place.
No promises of a cure
Autism is a lifelong difference in how a person experiences the world, so we do not list anything that claims to cure it.
