Welcome to AuKids Magazine!
AuKids magazine was the first UK magazine for parents of autistic children.
Co-founded by a parent and a speech and language therapist, this quarterly publication ran as a not for profit social enterprise from 2008-2021.
Innovative, uplifting, and fun, its aim was to debunk myths and publish clear, impartial advice. Were we any good? We won awards …so we can’t have been too shabby.
After issue 50 was published in January 2021, we wanted our valuable and friendly information to remain available. So AuKids is now a FREE downloadable library.

And don’t forget our Starter’s Special, to point newbies in the right direction!
Practical advice straight up, without the waffle.
The AuKids magazine library is your filter for the overwhelming amount of information you’ll come across on the subject of autism.
We know that parents are too busy (and stressed!) to attend lots of conferences and read thick volumes on the subject. If only someone would cut to the chase and give you answers!
Well, that’s what we do here at AuKids. We filter what’s out there and land it in your lap in a colourful easy-to-read summary. In each issue you’ll also get handy hints and ideas which you can use to your advantage straight away.
“I’ve found it some of the best, down to earth, real help that I’ve come across over the last 15 years! And am looking forward to accessing the rest. It’s a breath of fresh air to have someone who truly knows what it’s like and can offer useful help. ”
Think of us as your translators, too. We explain clinical terminology and jargon so that you don’t get befuddled when reading other material.
In every issue we asked a panel of experts to answer a tricky question regarding parenting your autistic youngster. Added to that we had regular columnists and tonnes of prizes and give-aways.
We ran as a not for profit social enterprise.
“I look forward to it and enjoy taking time to read it. I love the friendly easy to read feel it has. So informative without being over wordy. Love hearing about new techniques and things that others have found really good. It’s great to hear from real parents who live with autism and properly understand it and have a positive view”
