Welcome to Our AutismWiki

The Autistic Place AutismWiki emphasizes issues of education, legal protections, and general life skills. The goal is to offer information and resources for living and succeeding with autism.

Issues related to diagnosis or potential causes of autism are not the primary focus of the AutismWiki. We encourage use of The Autistic Place forums and blogs for discussions of those issues.

The AutismWiki for The Autistic Place is under construction.

Notes

Because the MediaWiki database is separate from our portal database, you need to create a Wiki account only if you wish to edit these pages. You can use the same user name and password you already have on The Autistic Place. Eventually, we hope to pass the user information between systems, but we first want to make sure the software platforms are stable. We apologize for any inconvenience.^[1]
