Help:Style guidelines
To maintain a cohesive wiki, please stick to the style guidelines where possible. Though don't let that put you off — feel free to just add and edit articles as you like, and other people will likely tidy up the formatting later on.
Point of view
We especially encourage articles informed by lived experience, and recognise that "objectivity" doesn't mean reinforcing the outgroup's status quo.
It's also safe to assume the reader is autistic, although they may only recently have discovered this fact. They may not yet know all the terminology, but they're happy to follow the links to learn more. This wiki is primarily by autistic people, for autistic people, although others are welcome to contribute.
We especially encourage a neurodiversity-affirming approach that suggests all neurotypes are equally valid, while simultaneously acknowledging that being neurodivergent in a neuro-typical society can be disabling.
Page titles
Where possible, page titles should only have their first word capitalised. "Like this", "Not Like This". The exception is if the page is about something that is usually capitalised, such as a book.
Titles should be singular, not plural, where it makes sense to do so. For example, "Sense" instead of "Senses".
Bold text
Try to incorporate the page title, or relevant parts of it, into the first sentence or paragraph and format the first instance of it as bold text. If the page title is "Autism", the first instance of the word "Autism" should be formatted as Autism, for example.
