Welcome to the ActuallyAutistic Wiki! This is a community-driven guide to all aspects of autism, allism, and helping build bridges between neurotypes. It emerged recently from the #ActuallyAutistic community on Twitter.

  • Everyone is welcome to contribute to this wiki!
  • You can edit any page without even having an account. Just hit the 'Edit' link on any page (including this one!). Important privacy note: editing a page without having an account or without being logged in will show your IP address publicly in the changelog/history of a page.
  • The number one rule of wiki editing is to be bold. Go ahead – make changes — even large rewrites of big topics. Other people can correct any mistakes you make, so have confidence, and give it a try!
    • If you disagree with what someone else has put, please consider adding a note of disagreement and what you think/would do after that section, especially if it could be something that varies by country or even situations or if you want to change it to/from an absolute (such as job interviews or eye gaze)
  • None of the content here is sacred. Please just make changes! Some of the articles are just starter content or from a particular person's perspective. 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 from scratch! Please check first whether a similar page already exists to avoid duplicates.
  • 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 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 if you want to use them!

ActuallyAutistic terminology

Incomplete List of Known Autistic Traits

Social Media

Outmoded terminology

While many autists have moved away from these terms, some continue to use them to describe their experience. Please remember that people may have complex reasons for the words they choose, and that differences in vocabulary are okay. In short, while it's important to understand how these outdated terms play to most autists, it's also not helpful to police other people's word choices.

Sociology

Psychology

Allistic communication & miscommunication

Dating & relationships

Autistic culture

Comorbidities

Accommodations

Culture-specific differences

Diagnostic journey

Problems with autism research

How to help

I have no idea what the purpose of this section and the page below is supposed to be..?

Mental health

Information processing differences

Office & work dynamics


Articles and Threads

Senses

Many autistics have differences in their senses, such as maybe hypersensitive to sound but hyposensitive to smell. These articles should try to document examples of both types as well as potential ways to compensate.

Yet-to-be-sorted categories

You can put stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else (yet) here.

Meta

Discussion

We can talk about the wiki itself in talk-pages[1]. Feel free to create your own for topics.
