A thousand signals. All at once.
That is how a lot of autistic people describe a busy room. It is also how autism looks online.
Most of it is about us. Little of it is by us.
Cure talk. Puzzle pieces. Old myths repeated as news.
So we turned the noise down.
Every evening we read the research, the rulings and the stories, and keep what matters.
One clear signal on autism. Told with autistic people.
The stories worth your time
News, research and culture, picked and explained. Each story links to its sources, so you can check them yourself.

The law, followed in plain words
When a rule changes for autistic people in Turkey, we explain what it says, who it affects and what you can do.
Law No. 5378 on Persons with Disabilities
The main disability law. It sets out rights in education, work, health and access.
UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
Turkey ratified the CRPD, committing to inclusive education and equal participation.
Special education regulations
Ministry of National Education rules on assessment, support and inclusion at school. We track every update.
Nothing about us without us.
Autistic people lead
Autistic writers, editors and advisers shape what we publish, and they are paid.
No cure talk, no puzzle pieces
We don't use language or symbols that frame autistic people as broken or missing.
Identity-first by default
We write "autistic person", and we respect anyone who prefers another term.
Sources you can check
Every research story links the original study and says what it can't tell us.
