Editorial standard

Clarity without false certainty.

Our workflow is designed to make evidence useful without making it sound stronger, broader or more personal than it is.

Version 1.0 · Effective 11 July 2026

01

Find

We monitor bibliographic databases and trusted public-health sources, then select work with clear relevance to autistic people and families.

02

Verify

We identify the publication type, participants, comparison, outcomes, funding and corrections or retractions where available.

03

Translate

We explain the result in plain language without turning association into causation or a group average into an individual promise.

04

Challenge

We state important limitations and what the research does not establish.

05

Review

A human editor checks every source, number, link and claim before publication. Corrections remain part of the record.

AI policy

AI assists. Humans publish.

Automation may help find candidate papers, extract structured metadata, compare a draft against a source and prepare translations. It cannot approve or publish an article.

We do not

Invent sources or citations

Present a preprint as settled evidence

Generate individualized clinical advice

Auto-publish at scale

Hide material corrections
