Welcome to the Actually Autistic Wiki! This is a community-driven guide to all aspects of autism, allism, and helping build bridges between neurotypes.
- Everyone is welcome to contribute to this wiki!
- You can edit any page without even having an account. Just hit the 'Edit' tab.
- The number one rule of wiki editing is to be bold. Go ahead—make changes. Other people can correct any mistakes you make, so have confidence, and give it a try!
- None of the content here is sacred. Please just make changes! Earlier versions can always be restored if necessary. These are all collaborative documents.
- Here is a short guide on how to create a new wiki page!
- Here are some of our style guidelines if you're unsure about formatting etc. But don't worry or overthink too much about "getting things right", these are not "hard rules" – and everything can be edited, formatted & moved later without issue anyway! :)
- If you have some ideas on how to improve this project, feel free to use the Talk:Topic discussions at the end of this page! You can also create your own!
- Please remember that, except for the first letter, links are CASE SENSITIVE. When linking to a missing page, whichever case you use will be created when someone follows the link and makes that new page. Linking to existing articles is case sensitive for every letter except the first one. Lowercasing or capitalizing a letter other than the first one will break the link / not link to the page you want. Please read this guide on links for more information.
