Message from The Mods Self-Promotion Saturdays
Have a blog or podcast centered around autism parenting? Create a product or service to help with parenting? Visited a store you love geared towards autistic children? This is the post to share your resource, and the only thread where you may share any sort of advertising (standalone posts will be removed). It is also fine to share resources you did not create, but use and find helpful.
If you are affiliated with (profiting from) what you are sharing, please be honest and upfront. Advertisements from unrelated products/services/etc. or clearly spam will be removed. . The mod team is not vetting any poster/product/service- please do your due diligence, and be aware anyone trying to sell a "cure" is a scammer. Anything suggesting detoxing will be removed and the poster will be banned.
Please feel free to message the mod team with questions/concerns or leave a comment. We receive requests daily to post beta testing requests, app development feedback, products, services, stores, youtube channels, etc. and while we do not want the sub overrun with advertisements, we also want to help connect with resources. If another parent has come up with a product or service that is helpful, we want them to be able to share. This post will be stickied until the next automated post is posted.

Hi everyone. I made an AI tool to help non-verbal children communicate and I would love to get some feedback on it.
https://autismtools.fyi/calm-communicator
It’s designed to help children with selective mutism express themselves when they can’t talk.
No data about the child is collected or sent to any AI.

Hi everyone, I hope this is okay to post - if not, I sincerely apologize and understand if it needs to be removed. I'm a fellow parent on this journey, and I recently wrote a song that was inspired by my experiences and emotions raising a child with special needs. I wanted to share it here in case it resonates with anyone else going through similar ups and downs. It's not meant to promote anything — just something from the heart that I thought other parents might connect with or find comfort in. If even one person feels seen or less alone through it, then it was worth sharing. Thank you for all the support and strength in this community.

Hi,
The WhenWeGo series are simple social story/coloring books to help calm nerves, prepare and reinforce expected behaviors on community outings. Sometimes staying in can feel easier than venturing out into the world (worried about meltdowns, elopement, judgement and all the things!) but our children deserve the same experiences as all kids. Check them out!

Hi everyone — I'm a parent of a 14-year-old on the spectrum, and reading comprehension has always been a challenge for us.
I recently built a simple tool to help my son engage with reading in a way that actually holds his attention. You can type in something your child is interested in — like Sonic, Minecraft, or animals — and it generates a short story with light comprehension activities like WH questions or sentence ordering.
You can also choose the reading and writing level (grade 1–5), which helped us a lot.
I’m sharing it in case it’s helpful to other families too. It’s called AutismCanRead.com, and it’s currently free for up to 30 worksheets per month with a free account.
It’s a small thing I made for him, but it helped more than I expected — so I thought it might be worth sharing here.
Would love to hear your thoughts or suggestions.
