## Editorial principles
- Identity-first language: "autistic person", not "person with autism". No functioning labels.
- Australian English: optimiser, not optimizer.
- Educational only: AutismInsights is not a substitute for clinical advice from your treating professionals.
- AI disclosure: plain-language summaries on study pages are generated by Claude (Anthropic) strictly from published abstracts; every block carries an attribution line.
- No paid recommendations: no intervention, provider, or product receives a higher grade due to payment, sponsorship, or affiliate relationship.
- Independent: no advertising revenue.
