Editorial Principles

  2. 2.Institutional guidance and personal stories are displayed separately with clear labels
  3. 3.Research directions are not clinical conclusions
  4. 4.No fear-mongering, no miracle language
  5. 5.Respectful language; both identity-first and person-first used as appropriate
  6. 6.Controversial topics (e.g., vaccines) strictly follow WHO/CDC scientific consensus
  7. 7.Important pages display 'Last Reviewed' dates
  8. 8.All content labeled by evidence level: A (institutional), B (reviews), C (expert viewpoints), D (lived experience)

Evidence Level System

LEVEL A — Institutional Consensus

Institutional Consensus

Guidelines, position statements, and official information from CDC, WHO, NIMH, NICE, NICHD, and similar institutions. This is the highest level of evidence credibility.

LEVEL B — Systematic Reviews

Systematic Reviews

Meta-analyses and systematic reviews of multiple studies. Provides evidence synthesized across multiple research studies.

LEVEL C — Expert Viewpoints

Expert Viewpoints

Presentations, papers, and perspectives from recognized experts. Represents professional judgment in specialized areas.

LEVEL D — Lived Experience

Lived Experience

Personal narratives, family stories, and voices from the autism community. Provides important qualitative perspectives.

Content Governance

autism.x1000.ai is committed to being a trustworthy autism knowledge platform. To achieve this, we have established a rigorous content governance framework.

All factual content is grounded in the latest guidelines and scientific consensus from CDC, NIMH, WHO, NICE, and NICHD. Personal experiences and stories, while equally valuable, are clearly labeled as Level D evidence (Lived Experience), distinctly separated from institutional-level guidance (Level A).

We acknowledge that research is evolving. Content marked as 'research directions' represents areas currently under investigation and should not be interpreted as established clinical recommendations.
