Who we are

This site is written by Adam Linmore, author of the book Virtual Autism: What Happens When the Screens Go Off. Adam Linmore is a parent, not a doctor, therapist or researcher, and nothing here is medical advice. The site sells books, printables and merchandise; that is how it pays for itself. No company, school or advertiser pays us to say anything, we carry no ads, and we earn no commission from the links on these pages.

What we write about

Screen-free early childhood; technology in early learning, discussed in general terms; AI for families; and what the phrase "Virtual Autism" means and does not mean.

Our standards

  • Accurate. Every fact is checked against its original source, as set out on How we check facts.

  • Kind. No shame and no blame. Every kind of family is welcome here, and so is every kind of day. A screen used for communication, therapy, work or a hard day is never something to feel bad about.

  • Respectful of autistic people. Autism is a lifelong difference, not a tragedy and not something to fix. "Virtual Autism" is a phrase, not a diagnosis, and always appears with those words.

  • Fair. We do not name, rate or criticize schools, companies, apps or products.

  • Honest about what we sell. Where a page mentions one of our products, the link is plain and the page's facts do not depend on it. We make no claims about results for any child.

  • Plain. Short sentences, no jargon, American spelling.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we fix it.

  • Tell us through the contact page: the page, the sentence, and, if you can, the source that shows the error.

  • We check every report against the original source.

  • A wrong fact is corrected on the page, and a short note at the end of the page says what changed and on what date. Small fixes of spelling or wording are made without a note.

  • If a source is withdrawn or changes, we update or remove the line that rested on it.

Independence and privacy

There is no sign-up form on this site. If you write to us, we use your message only to reply. Details are on the privacy page.
