For my original idea/post.
Thus far i have done it as a wiki and managed to get it off the ground. There's still a lot of improvements that need doing and A LOT more information required.
I'm basically asking if there are 1-2 people that fancy helping? This can range from providing their own information, coping mechanisms and ideas, doing research to add information, to just reading the information and suggesting what needs re-wording because i've not done it correctly (important).
Thankyou

Don't some of these things veer a bit too close to opinion to really be part of a Wiki? Particularly, something like "advice to parents..." ? I'm under the impression a Wiki is supposed to take more of a "Just the facts, ma'am," view of things, not to be in the advice business, the opinion business or the original research business.
And good luck with entries on Jenny Jones, Andrew Wakefield and Autism Speaks. Particularly that last, given their past goon squad tactics directed at even the mildest of satires. As for the other two, can anyone actually be objective? Don't think I could. 
Sorry to be a party pooper, because I do think you're on to something here. I'd certainly love to read understandable articles on brain chemistry, Theory of Mind variants, how the definition of Autism has mutated through the various editions of the DSM, and how Asperger's as a term is entering the now you see it, now you don't category, and why this is so.
- coping mechanisms - such as dealing with eye contact etc.
- Difficult scenarios and how other people with ASD dealt with them(also neurotypical behaviors explained in the scenario etc)
- social strategies for dealing with things like alcohol, university/college, bullying etc.
- advice to parents raising those with ASD.
- Metaphore databases so people can quickly look up words and phrases that have confused them.
- Getting diagnosed and dealing with doctors etc.
- Local services and support information.

It's going to be a case of taking information that works best for you. I aim to have as many people as possibles suggestions on there, what works for one person, won't work for another however there may be something else on there that works for you.
It will also help Neurotypicals in understanding when they can see what those with ASD have to do

I found it the other day, and the wiki was already doing similar things to that
. Just bullet pointing ideas and suggestions.
