BETA TESTERS · STAGE 1

Thank you for helping build this.

For the next two weeks, please use the site as you normally would, try a few things below, then tell us honestly what worked and what didn’t. There are no wrong answers.

What is The Spectrum Connections?

A free, private website for families raising autistic children, and for autistic teens and adults, whether clinically diagnosed, self-identified, still exploring, or waiting for an assessment. It starts in Ontario and welcomes families from anywhere. It’s a place to ask questions without judgement, find people going through the same things, and get practical help for everyday life.

What you’re testing

This is an early version. We want to know if it’s easy to find your way, if it feels welcoming, and what’s confusing or missing.

  • GuidanceWhat to do when you first notice signs, screening, and next steps in Ontario.
  • ToolsPattern notebook, toilet training tracker, sensory-friendly recipes, and an “All about us” page.
  • Circles and AskGroups by age, needs and where you live, and a place to ask questions. A preview for now.
  • Comfort settingsLarger text and a calm mode, for anyone who finds busy screens hard.

What to expect in this first beta

The tools work fully and stay private on your device. Circles and posts are a preview: you won’t see other testers’ posts yet. That comes in stage 2. Please use a nickname, never your real name.
