Five areas, opened in a sensible order
Five areas, opened in order
Information, the shop, the community, the directory, events, and short courses are open. Directory samples stay marked until a real organisation is checked.

Support
Live chat answers from pages on this site and can pass a message to a person. The community forum is in the same panel. Member posts wait for a moderator. It is never an emergency service.
How support works
Education
Short written courses are open in the Academy, next to the classroom guides. They are information, not a certificate or a clinical programme.
Open the Academy
Technology
The first technology is this website: readable pages, search, and access settings. Later work can include an assistant that only answers from approved guides, and stronger links with communication tools.
Accessibility settings
Community
Discussion spaces are open and moderated. New posts wait for review. Every post can be reported, and the guidelines say what is not allowed.
Open the community
Advocacy
Public information should be accurate, adult in tone, and led by what autistic people and families actually need. AUTIGENCE will not speak over the people it is for, and it will not dress advertising up as advice.
