Content for autistic people shouldn’t just be created by mental health professionals and non-autistic people – it should be made in collaboration with those who experience autism every day. We’re bringing autistic people, families and carers together to share the depths and colours of their own personal experiences.

𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲
With support from brilliant organisations like the Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health, we’re committed to providing people and families with practical advice recommended by clinical experts. This means working not just with autistic content creators but also with leading neurodevelopmental specialists. Our content is guided by a neurodiverse advisory team that brings together divergent voices from places of lived experience. We’re proud to be working with such great people and organisations and equally proud of our work so far. At the same time, we know there’s so much more to be done and never stop looking for new ways to make a genuinely positive impact on the people we most want to support – you and your family
