The project in brief

Autidacts.org is an emerging community project (August 2024) created by autistics, for autistics and everyone else. It currently gathers a rich array of autism-related information through two main types of content:

  1. 177 references to international resources published by 193 autistic people or by non-autistic individuals in dialogue with needs and expectations explicitly expressed by autistic people. Each reference includes an interactive bibliography, highlighting autistic contributors within the bibliographies, and provides additional information on each author for those who wish to learn more.

  2. 5 articles (comments, analyses, summaries, popularizations, translations, etc.) written on the site by autistic people who wish to express themselves about these international resources or other topics concerning them.
