Autism news, information and support. Please feel free to submit articles to enhance the knowledge, acceptance, understanding and research of Autism and ASD.    
By posting here you agree to all rules and reddit's terms of service.

___
Please refrain from using slang or derogatory words to describe a condition, symptom, diagnosis or treatment that is negative and hurtful. This includes name calling. Your post **will** be removed and lead to you being banned. Please review Reddiquette when needed. 

It is acceptable to introduce the community to your personal site. Further continued submissions will be reviewed as abuse.
___
**Rules:**

*Check our [wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/autism/wiki/index) before posting with questions. If your question is answered in the wiki, your post will be removed.*


* No personal attacks, hostility, or escalating arguments - be kind.
*Personal attacks do not contribute to a discussion and only result in creating an unwelcome environment, do not act with hostility towards other users or escalate arguments. Please also be aware that in a largely autistic space, miscommunication and misunderstanding between people is likely to occur, and some comments may come across as rude or offensive without being intended that way. If you're uncertain how to interpret somebody's comments, try asking them to clarify what they mean.*


* No sharing pseudoscience or spreading misinformation, no Autism Speaks, no cure-related posts.
*Posting pseudoscience or spreading misinformation is not allowed. Sharing content from or creating discussion around harmful organisations such as Autism Speaks is not allowed. Asking for opinions on an autism cure or speculating on alternative causes of autism outside of the scientific research into ASD causes is not allowed.*


* No self-diagnosis debate or discussion, no making arguments in favour of or opposing self-diagnosis.
*Debate surrounding self-diagnosis, or posts asking for opinions on self-diagnosis, is not allowed. This includes both advocating for or against self-diagnosis. The topic is exhausted, too frequently brought up, while no meaningful discussion on the topic takes place and conversation quickly spirals into chaos.*


* No asking for diagnosis or medical advice for yourself or someone else, no "Am I autistic?" posts.
*Please don't ask for a diagnosis for yourself or for another person, or word a post in a way that can be interpreted as asking for validation. We cannot diagnose you or offer you advice on medical grounds. Concerns about your health are best discussed with your GP, physician or another qualified health provider. Taking medical advice from strangers who lack the necessary expertise or ability to objectively evaluate you is potentially dangerous.*


* No posting online test results, such as the RAADS-R or AQ.
*Please don't post results of online tests to the subreddit. Tests such as the RAADS-R, AQ and Aspie Quiz are intended to be used as clinical screeners only to determine if it's worthwhile for a practice to take a person on for a full evaluation, they are not diagnostic tools and their results cannot reliably indicate if a person is autistic or not, nor are there results able to be reliably interpreted outside of a clinical setting.*


* No sharing posts or media with usernames or identifying information. No posting images of children.
*Please don't share images, posts or screenshots containing visible usernames or any form of personal identifying information. Don't post images of children.*


* No clickbait or vague post titles, no spamming, no posts titled with emojis or symbols.
*Please ensure posts have a descriptive title that details exactly what the submission is about, vague posts and clickbait where the title does not accurately reflect the main post content may be removed to avoid causing confusion.  Posts consisting of emojis and symbols only will also be removed.*


* Correctly flag NSFW topics, and be mindful of the presence of young people on the sub.
*If you're posting about an NSFW topic or asking a question of that nature, please make sure you have correctly marked it as such. The subreddit has a large number of younger people using it, and posts must be mindful of their presence. You can provide context to the question in the title, but don't be overly explicit.*


* No highlighting arguments within other subreddits or continuing arguments across other subreddits.
*Please don't post about arguments that occurred within other subreddits or draw attention to other subreddits with the intention of directing people's attention there. Likewise please don't engage in arguments with members of other subreddits or follow them around other subreddits to argue there.*


* No advertising, marketing, asking for donations, or promoting fundraisers.
*Please don't make posts attempting to solicit financial transactions or advertise products for sale. Don't post requesting personal donations or promoting fundraising efforts. We have no way of verifying if such donations or fundraisers are legitimate, and we can't endorse taking potential financial risks that may have real-world consequences for subreddit members.*
