Can you promote in r/autism?
Autism news, information and support. Please feel free to submit articles to enhance the knowledge, acceptance, understanding and research of Autism and ASD.
The short answer
Do not post promotional messages or links; if you have something relevant, contact moderators first or participate as a community member without promoting your product.
What works here
- Introduce your personal site once (per sidebar note) without repeated promotion
- Request moderator approval for research posts
- Share autism-related news or support content that is not promotional
What gets posts removed
- Posting product/service promotions, demo links, or calls to purchase
- Sharing affiliate/referral codes, crowdfunding, or fundraising links
- Doing market research or recruiting users without mod approval
- Repeatedly posting about the same project or directing traffic off-site

Limited allowance for personal site intro

Posting guidelines require relevance and non-spam
Posts must be related to autism and avoid spam, clickbait, or low-effort promotional content.
