✿ The 5-5 challenge · free · private · parent-only
5 · 5
You've been nominated.
A parent who knows you thinks you belong in this room. The Spectrum Path is a free, private, parent-only community for parents of autistic children — matching parents, and matching autistic children, on a similar path. Fill in a two-minute mosaic and it quietly connects you with the parents whose profile is closest to yours. Curated content and chats on autism, for you — with filters built by you.
The challenge, in three steps
- Sign up — it's free. Before the doors open on Monday 16 November. Anonymous if you like; no ads, nothing sold, non-profit.
- Fill in your two-minute mosaic. Your child's stage, needs, school, communication — that's what finds the families whose profile is closest to yours.
- Nominate five parents of autistic children you know. Each of them nominates five. Every five makes the matches better for every child — including yours.
Already signed up? Sign in and your 5-5 card is on your dashboard, written in your name.
Why five?
The mosaic matches your child with children on a similar path — the same stage, the same kind of needs, the same kind of school. The more families in the room, the closer every match gets. Five parents, each nominating five, is how a room fills with the right people rather than a crowd.
No prizes, no leaderboard, no pressure — nobody is counted and nobody is named. Nominate only parents you actually know, in your own words. If someone would rather not, that's completely fine.
