Key findings

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

  1. In a randomized trial with families of children with developmental disabilities and severe behaviour that challenges, adding work on parents' pessimism to positive behaviour support improved behaviour more than positive behaviour support alone. Both groups improved.

    studyDurand V et al. (2012) · Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions

    Supports: Caring for the caregiver's own thoughts and exhaustion inside a behaviour plan, not only the child's behaviour. Does not support: That the result is specific to autistic children (the group mixed developmental disabilities), or that parents are to blame for the behaviour.

  2. The UK NICE guideline asks to understand behaviour before acting: look for its function, check physical health and pain, support the family and keep restrictive interventions to a minimum.

    clinical guidelineNational Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) (2015) · National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)

    Supports: A plan built on functional assessment and positive behaviour support, checking pain and health first. Does not support: Using restraint, seclusion or punishment as a strategy, or advice on medication (NeuroLjus never gives it).

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. In community services, a randomized trial found CPS as effective as parent management training for oppositional behaviour, with gains kept at follow-up.

    controlled trialwith autistic peopleMurrihy RC et al. (2023) · Behavior therapy

    Supports: That the collaborative approach also works outside university clinics, in everyday services. Does not support: Direct conclusions about autism, intellectual disability or non-speaking people.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

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

    controlled trialCermak 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.

  19. In a randomized trial with oppositional children and adolescents, Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) and Parent Management Training (PMT) both did better than a waitlist and about equally well, with gains kept months later.

    controlled trialOllendick TH et al. (2016) · Journal of clinical child and adolescent psychology : the official journal for the Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, American Psychological Association, Division 53

    Supports: Solving problems together with the person (what is hard and what they need) as an evidence-based alternative to rewards and punishments. Does not support: That the result carries over directly to autistic or non-speaking people: the study was about oppositional behaviour, not autism.

  20. 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.

  21. 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.

  22. 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.

  23. '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.

  24. 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.

  25. 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.

  26. 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.
