AutismX is a peer support and information platform for parents, carers and family members of autistic children, wherever you live. You can ask a question in Community, share a tip that worked, celebrate a win, and read what other families are learning.

Beyond Community, AutismX gives you a private Journal for the small wins and hard days, a Therapy Notes inbox so appointment notes from your child's therapists stop scattering across your email, Our Story as a place to share your family's journey with other members if you choose to, and Events to find things happening near you.

You will find Journal and Therapy Notes together under My child, and Events inside Community.

Our Resources offer plain English guides on activities for speech, OT and sensory needs, along with early intervention, the NDIS and school options. The guides on services, funding and schools currently focus on Australia.

AutismX is not a clinical service and does not replace professional advice. It's a place to feel less alone and to learn from people walking the same road.

We're Ayantha and Migara. We built AutismX after our own daughter's diagnosis in Sydney.

We know what those first months feel like. First the shock of the diagnosis itself, then days spent researching which therapies even existed, and more days trying to work out which ones we could actually get into. Nobody sits you down and tells you what to do next. So you end up messaging ten different people the same question, and scrolling Facebook groups at midnight, trying to make sense of the system while you're still absorbing the news.

That's why AutismX exists. We built it to be the place we wish we'd had when we were the ones searching at midnight, so other families don't have to feel as alone as we did.

Our Resources are drawn from publicly available government, health and education sources, and shaped by our own experience as parents. We link to our sources so you can check them yourself.

This is general information only, not personal medical, clinical, NDIS or financial advice, and it should not be relied on to make decisions about your child. Details can change, so always check the official source and talk with a qualified professional who knows your child. If something looks wrong or out of date, please send us feedback and we'll review it.

Respectful conduct

Talk to other members the way you would want someone to talk to your family. Different families make different choices, so share what worked for you without telling anyone what they should do. Harassment, slurs, and attacks on any person, group or therapy approach are not permitted.

Protect your child's privacy

Share experiences, not identifying details. Avoid posting your child's full name, school, photos or anything that could identify them outside AutismX.

No soliciting or advertising

AutismX is not a place to sell products, promote a business, or drive traffic to paid services. Recommending a professional who helped your family is welcome, but marketing your own service is not, and affiliate links, referral codes and sponsored content are not permitted.

How disputes and reports are handled

Posts, replies, comments, private and group messages, events, Family Stories and profile details are checked by an AI moderation layer that flags anything concerning for human review. Private messages between members are moderated the same way, rather than read live by a person. A moderator can read a private message only if it has been flagged for review. Anyone can report a concern using the Report a safety concern form on the Contact page. Every report sent through that form is alerted to the safety contact straight away. Moderators review flagged content and can dismiss it, warn the member, remove the content, hide a Family Story or clear a family motto. Repeat or serious breaches may lead to account suspension or removal. If you disagree with a moderation decision, please get in touch through the Contact page and it will be reviewed.
