Community guidelines

Be kind, always. We are a community of neurodivergent people, families and friends — many of us are here on hard days. Write to others the way you'd want someone to write to you or your child.

Respect lived experience. Every mind is different. Something that works for one family may not work for another — share what helped you without dismissing what helps someone else.

No bullying, judgement or discrimination. There is no place here for unkindness about neurotype, disability, age, race, gender, sexuality, religion or anything else. This includes 'jokes' at someone else's expense.

Protect privacy. Use your @username, and don't share another person's real name, photo, school, workplace or other personal details — including your own children's — in a way you might later regret. What's shared here should stay here.

Tips are experiences, not prescriptions. Nothing posted in Our Toolbox or the forum is medical, legal or educational advice. Please don't tell others to start, stop or change medication or therapy — always speak to a qualified professional about your own situation.

Keep it honest and on-topic. No advertising, spam, fundraising appeals or selling without asking us first.

Moderation. All posts are moderated. If we feel a post goes against these guidelines we may ask you to amend it, or we may remove it — and accounts that repeatedly break the guidelines may be suspended. We do this to preserve what we are actively trying to build together: a kind, inclusive world designed for every mind.

If you see something that worries you, please don't argue in the thread — contact us and we'll take a look.
