Can you promote in r/autisticadults?
For adults who are on the autistic spectrum, or think they might be on the autistic spectrum, regardless of diagnostic status. This is a relaxed, rules-light community, preferring discussion rather than memes and media. If you are here to promote a product, seek an audience or ask for help in dealing with an autistic person, please read our community guide carefully before posting.
The short answer
Participate genuinely first, ask moderators before promoting, disclose affiliation if you must mention your product, and place research recruitment only in the sticky research thread with required flair/summary.
What works here
- Posting research recruitment in the sticky research thread (follow that thread's guidance)
- Contributing as a regular community member and then asking to share resources
- Researchers/journalists using a 'researcher' flair and following rules
- Link posts that include a clear summary/explanation
What gets posts removed
- Direct advertising, solicitation, recruiting customers, or using the subreddit as a market
- Posting product launches or promos without moderator permission or prior participation
- Posting links without an explanatory summary
- Targeting posts at non-autistic people about autistic individuals without the required tag
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditSales/solicitation ban
Rule explicitly says subreddit does not provide members as a market and forbids sales, solicitation and self-promotion; moderators should be consulted if unsure.
Research posts allowed in sticky only
Research recruitment is permitted but must go into the sticky research thread and follow its guidance.
Disclosure and summary required for links
Posts linking to material (including your own content) must include a summary and explanation.
Moderator sympathy for active members
Moderators are particularly sympathetic to redditors who already participate when they ask to promote their own resources.
Researcher flair requirement
Participants operating as researchers or journalists must use a 'researcher' flair so others can choose whether to engage.
