Terms of service

Welcome to Stillpoint. These terms cover your use of the site and the Ask page. By using the site, you accept them.

What Stillpoint is

Stillpoint is a free, educational guide to autism, written to be calm, accurate and grounded in public guidance from health authorities and autism organisations. It is provided as-is, with no charge and no registration.

Not medical advice

Nothing on this site — including answers from the Ask explainer — is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and nothing here creates a professional relationship. For questions about your own health or your child's, consult a qualified professional. If you or someone else is in crisis, contact your local emergency services or a doctor straight away.

AI-generated answers

Answers on the Ask page are generated automatically by an AI model and can contain mistakes, oversimplifications, or omissions. They may not reflect the newest research or your specific situation. Use them as a starting point for understanding, not as a conclusion. If an answer feels wrong, trust the published sources and professionals over the model.

Fair use of the Ask page

The explainer is free and meant for genuine questions. Please don't try to overload it with automated requests, use it to generate content for resale, or send illegal, hateful, or harassing material. We apply a light rate limit and may block misuse.

Ownership and sharing

The site's text and design belong to Stillpoint. You're welcome to share links freely, quote briefly with attribution, and use what you learn — that's the point. Republishing the guide wholesale or presenting it as your own isn't permitted. Third-party sources linked from the site belong to their respective owners.

Links to other sites

We link to organisations and research we consider trustworthy, but we can't vouch for external content, and following a link takes you to a site governed by its own terms and privacy policy.

No warranties and limited liability

Stillpoint is provided without warranties of any kind, to the extent permitted by law. To the fullest extent the law allows, the site's owner isn't liable for decisions made, or harm suffered, in reliance on the site's content or the Ask explainer's answers.

Changes

These terms may be updated as the site evolves; the current version always lives on this page. Last updated in September 2026. Questions? Email Stillpointautism@gmail.com.
