Not a Database: How Autistic Mirror Turns One Question Into Five Answers
Four people ask the same question about eye contact and get four different answers. A generic AI gives a fifth for comparison. All answers generated live in the web app, verbatim.
Why every mechanism carries a source
Every statement about autistic neurology is anchored in a curated lexicon with original publication, DOI and abstract match. If no validated entry exists, the passage stays without a source.
Why Your Brain Needs Technical Terms
Vague language creates prediction errors. Precise terms like monotropism or interoception resolve them.
Why Your Brain Needs to Anchor Single Answers
Bookmarks anchor single neurological explanations so your brain does not have to search for them again during burnout or overload.
How Autistic Mirror contains hallucination
Hallucinations happen where a model has to invent facts. Autistic Mirror grounds mechanism statements in a curated lexicon, shows sources only in the glossary and checks every answer before it is displayed.
Reduced stimulation as the default
Landing, pricing, header, footer, chat and settings all start in reduced view. Anyone who wants more context expands it per section. Why this is the default and where it can be changed.
We attack our own app
Over 1,100 simulated attacks in 19 languages against Autistic Mirror. Zero safety violations in this test run.
One neurology, explained for every perspective
Four perspectives, one neurology. Self-understanding before translation.
When Old Predictions No Longer Match
When a new partner contradicts everything the brain has learned. Why safety feels like alarm at first.
When Safety Heals
Why autistic people fall apart when everything is right. And why that is healing, not relapse.

How something I built for the people I love accidentally fills a gap that had stayed open.
