"What autism is"
"Autism and Sensory Processing"

Autistic people often experience the world differently to non-autistic people because our senses work differently. This is not a flaw, it is just a difference, but because so many places have been built by non-autistic people without autistic people in mind, they are often not suitable for us, and may be unpleasant or inaccessible.

Everyone is different. By collecting together lots of autistic people’s experiences of how they are impacted by their senses, we can change spaces so that they are better for more autistic people.

Change "view more" to "read more" on all button links for consistency

Bottom banner

• "About us" doesn't match content of about us page - Should be:

  • About AutSPACEs
  • Platform Usage
  • Explore AutSPACEs
  • Data Usage

• Under "Policies", the "code of conduct" should link to the "code of conduct"

• "Terms of Use" should link to a section on the fact that AutSPACEs is openly licensed in terms of code, but also that researchers must apply to access the data

Help page

The "help" page could include a section for Moderators - titled "How can I become a moderator?"
and "How do I moderate the platform" - use existing texts on GitHub

"About AutSPACEs"

Is it worth including something on participatory research and co-creation here - e.g. How did we build AutSPACEs?
