Our autism 'journey roadmap', or itinerary (hence the name ‘Autinerary’), is here to support parents, children, adults, educators, and anyone else connected to autism on their ASD journey by providing everything they need in one place.
Whether you're looking for information on symptoms, diagnosis, treatments and interventions, accessing services, and other important resources, looking for direct locations to professionals who can help you, a platform to connect with others at similar stages in their journeys, or are interested in future tech solutions to autism-related issues, we aim to provide and link everything autism-related in one easy-to-access, easy-to-understand, location.
Wherever you are on your autism journey, we're here for you.
Exactly what is...
Our Goal
Autinerary was originally developed for families to fill the void of missing info during the ASD journey, but transformed into a central connecting and information hub for anything autism-related. Instead of trying to replace other sources of Autism information, we're instead trying to bring everything together, so that no matter what you need, you can find it here. Our fundamental goal is centered around the questions most families find themselves asking at the beginning of - and anywhere during - their autism journey:
“What should we expect as we step into the world of Autism?”
However, that's not our only goal. We've noticed that so many Autism-focused websites have a negative, deflating feel about them, correlating Autism with fear, sadness, and hopelessness. After going through the journey ourselves, we strongly feel that the joy, positivity, creativity, and imagination that comes from Autism should be known to everyone curious about it. So, this is what we do:
![Vital Information](/_next/image?url=%2F_next%2Fstatic%2Fmedia%2Fvitalinfo.d0ceb55e.png&w=128&q=75)
Vital Information
We provide everything you need to know: a surface level and in-depth intro to Autism, signs & symptoms info, diagnosis info and steps, info about services, positive, interesting news about Autism in the world, and more, both through our website and our YouTube shorts for kids & adults.
![Links to Immediate Services](/_next/image?url=%2F_next%2Fstatic%2Fmedia%2Fimmediateservices.99ea6028.jpg&w=128&q=75)
Links to Immediate Services
We provide links to immediate online screening, a Google map system of the nearest professionals & service centres, a caregiving planner (coming soon!), and other helpful websites, apps, and self-soothing toys and items.
![A Vibrant Community](/_next/image?url=%2F_next%2Fstatic%2Fmedia%2Fvibrantcomm.5ab10d45.png&w=128&q=75)
A Vibrant Community
We are aiming to create a vibrant community through a blog system, social media (both external and our own), volunteer opportunities, opportunities to join our team, and ways to support us (donations, merchandise, and suggestions).

Innovation in the Autism Space
In the very near future, we want to use the technology of the future to solve autism-related problems. Using machine learning to improve the autism diagnosis process and virtual reality to provide autism services are just some of the things on our agenda!
![A Focus on Positivity and Creativity](/_next/image?url=%2F_next%2Fstatic%2Fmedia%2Fpositivitycloud.34dc3337.png&w=128&q=75)
A Focus on Positivity and Creativity
One of our primary goals is to do everything we do while focusing on creating a positive, hope-inspiring atmosphere, highlighting the joy, imagination, and creativity that come from Autism (hence our cloud logo!)
so then ...
Who are we
Autinerary's team originated from a family that had to deal with autism directly, with almost no help at all, and the only information available being from doctors who believed autism to an 'incurable disease', and something to give up on. After years of pushing through, they were able to find their way: focusing on positivity, and that is now Autinerary's moto.
After a long, difficult journey, we want to share the happiness we found, and give you the resources we believe would have made our journey a lot easier, so you can experience the joy we found through autism and avoid any unnecessary stress while doing so. We have a dream: one day, everyone, no matter where they are, or what stage of their journey they are at, will know exactly where and how to start their journey.
