Key findings

Hand-picked, verified, with what they support and what they do not.

  1. Sensory differences (over- and under-responsivity, sensory seeking) are very common in autism and larger than in other groups.

    meta-analysisBen-Sasson A et al. (2009) · Journal of autism and developmental disorders

    Supports: Taking sound, light and touch load seriously as a first step in care. Does not support: That every autistic person has the same sensory profile; profiles are individual.

  2. Sleep problems affect a large share of autistic children (often 40-80%) and make the next day harder.

    reviewRichdale AL et al. (2009) · Sleep medicine reviews

    Supports: A predictable, low-stimulus evening routine as a first measure. Does not support: Medication decisions; melatonin and other treatments are for clinicians.

  3. Aided AAC systems (PECS, speech-generating devices) have positive effects on communication for autistic people.

    meta-analysisGanz JB et al. (2012) · Journal of autism and developmental disorders

    Supports: Giving a non-speaking person a reliable way to request, refuse and comment. Does not support: That communication only counts when it is speech.

  4. Parents of autistic children show clearly higher stress than other parents; caregiver support is part of care.

    meta-analysisHayes SA et al. (2013) · Journal of autism and developmental disorders

    Supports: Planning rest and support for the caregiver, not only routines for the person. Does not support: Blaming the child for family stress.

  5. Autistic children have far more feeding difficulties (selectivity, refusal) than other children.

    meta-analysisSharp WG et al. (2013) · Journal of autism and developmental disorders

    Supports: Lowering pressure at meals and respecting sensory limits around food. Does not support: Forcing foods; nutrition concerns go to a clinician.

  6. Visual activity schedules (picture sequences of what comes next) are an evidence-based practice for transitions and independence.

    reviewKnight V et al. (2015) · Journal of autism and developmental disorders

    Supports: The visual card in every Companion routine. Does not support: That schedules remove the need to listen to the person's refusal.

  7. A review of 29,000 articles identified 27 evidence-based practices, including visual supports, video modelling, social narratives and augmentative communication instruction.

    reviewWong C et al. (2015) · Journal of autism and developmental disorders

    Supports: Preparing transitions (dentist, school, outings) with pictures, video or a short story of what will happen. Does not support: That a practice works for everyone or replaces listening to the person in the moment.

  8. The true male-to-female ratio in autism is closer to 3:1, not 4:1: many girls and women go unidentified.

    meta-analysisLoomes R et al. (2017) · Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

    Supports: Taking a girl's or woman's needs seriously even without a 'typical' presentation. Does not support: Any diagnosis; identification is clinical.

  9. Atypical sensory perception is a core feature of autism tied to daily wellbeing, not a side detail.

    reviewRobertson CE et al. (2017) · Nature reviews. Neuroscience

    Supports: Adapting environments (noise, light, crowds) before adding demands. Does not support: A single mechanism or 'cure' for sensory differences.

  10. Misunderstanding runs both ways: non-autistic people also struggle to read autistic people. It is not a one-sided deficit.

    studyMilton D et al. (2022) · Autism : the international journal of research and practice

    Supports: Caregivers adapting their own communication, not only the person's. Does not support: That communication support is unnecessary.

  11. Autistic adults rated heat pain higher and showed a pronociceptive profile: more sensitivity, not less.

    studyHoffman T et al. (2023) · Pain

    Supports: Not assuming a person 'doesn't mind' a procedure or an injury. Does not support: A universal rule for every person; experimental pain differs from daily pain.

  12. After school, a large share of autistic young adults have no job or training, especially those needing more support: the transition to adulthood needs planning.

    studyTaylor JL et al. (2011) · Journal of autism and developmental disorders

    Supports: Starting transition planning years before school ends. Does not support: That outcomes are fixed; supports change them.

  13. About 40% of autistic children and adolescents have at least one anxiety disorder; anxiety is common, not rare.

    meta-analysisvan Steensel FJ et al. (2011) · Clinical child and family psychology review

    Supports: Reading agitation or refusal as possible anxiety and reducing uncertainty. Does not support: Diagnosing anxiety at home; that is for clinicians.

  14. Autistic adults report worse communication with healthcare providers and more unmet needs than non-autistic adults.

    studywith autistic peopleNicolaidis C et al. (2013) · Journal of general internal medicine

    Supports: Bringing a written summary and the person's communication preferences to appointments. Does not support: That healthcare should be avoided; it means it must be made accessible.

  15. A sensory-adapted dental environment (dim light, less noise, deep pressure) reduced stress and discomfort for autistic children during cleaning.

    studyCermak SA et al. (2015) · Journal of autism and developmental disorders

    Supports: Asking a clinic for lower light and sound and a predictable sequence. Does not support: That adaptation removes the need for consent and pauses.

  16. Many autistic adults, especially women, camouflage their traits to fit in; they describe it as exhausting and costly for mental health.

    studyHull L et al. (2017) · Journal of autism and developmental disorders

    Supports: Allowing rest and 'unmasked' time at home and school. Does not support: That camouflaging is only a female phenomenon.

  17. Autism research is more useful and respectful when autistic people take part in designing it.

    studywith autistic peopleFletcher-Watson S et al. (2019) · Autism : the international journal of research and practice

    Supports: Building tools with autistic people, not only for them. Does not support: Any specific intervention; this is about how knowledge is made.

  18. Autistic adults describe stimming (repetitive movement) as a way to self-regulate under overload; suppressing it is harmful.

    studywith autistic peopleKapp SK et al. (2019) · Autism : the international journal of research and practice

    Supports: Leaving room for self-regulation instead of 'quiet hands'. Does not support: Ignoring movement that injures the person; safety still comes first.

  19. 'Autistic burnout' — deep exhaustion, loss of skills, less tolerance to stimuli — is described by autistic adults as the result of sustained demands without support.

    studywith autistic peopleRaymaker DM et al. (2020) · Autism in adulthood

    Supports: Reducing demands and sensory load when capacity drops, instead of pushing through. Does not support: A clinical diagnosis; this is a lived-experience definition.

  20. Information flows between autistic people as well as between non-autistic people; it breaks down in mixed groups.

    studywith autistic peopleCrompton CJ et al. (2020) · Autism : the international journal of research and practice

    Supports: Valuing autistic peers and self-advocates as a resource. Does not support: That autistic people lack social ability.

  21. The words we use about autism matter: terms like 'challenging behaviour' or 'low functioning' stigmatise.

    studywith autistic peopleBottema-Beutel K et al. (2021) · Autism in adulthood

    Supports: Describing what happened and what helped, not labelling the person. Does not support: That everyone must use identical words; preferences vary and should be asked.

  22. The old idea of 'pain indifference' in autism is wrong: pain is expressed atypically and often missed.

    reviewBogdanova OV et al. (2022) · Frontiers in psychiatry

    Supports: Treating a change in behaviour as a possible pain signal worth checking. Does not support: That caregivers or cameras can measure pain; pain remains a hypothesis to check with healthcare.
