The Standard · v1.0 draft
The badge has to mean something.
Our public bar is trained people, reviewed operations, useful pre-visit information, and evidence that can be checked. A payment or course certificate alone never earns a badge.
This is a draft for credentialed specialist and compensated autistic-advisor validation. It is not clinical or legal advice, and it does not promise that every visit will work the same way for every person.
Trained people
Every public-facing role must have a current, recorded training and practice result before a public claim.
Reviewed operations
The location must show how it reduces avoidable demand and responds with dignity when a visit gets hard.
Honest visit information
Families must be able to see practical supports, limits, and how to ask for help before they arrive.
Evidence before a badge
Payment or a course certificate is never enough. A human review of the location's evidence is required.
Research basis
Sources are public; validation is still open.
Autism 101 and this draft use these sources for cautious, practical foundations. They do not validate a passing score, a competency decision, or a business recognition claim; those remain subject to specialist, autistic-advisor, legal, and pilot review.
Public accountability
See what has—and has not—been externally validated.
The Validator Register records open review lanes and completed evidence without implying endorsements that do not exist.
