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.
For 50 issues, we served up a refreshing mix of wit, wisdom and genuinely useful advice for families of autistic children — without the doom and gloom, the jargon overload or the feeling that you need a PhD to make sense of it all. We may have hung up our editorial hats, but we couldn’t bear to lock away all that good stuff. So, every single issue is here, free to read and download. Whether you’re looking for answers, fresh ideas or simply a reminder that you’re not alone, pull up a chair and rummage through our treasure trove. The magazines may have stopped, but the good advice lives on!
“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”
