Interests first. Support when it makes sense.

A space for autistic teenagers and adults and people with Down Syndrome to explore games, culture, technology, relationships, study, work, autonomy and safe internet — without reducing anyone to a diagnosis.

You choose where to start. Liking a subject is not necessarily related to diagnosis. The suggestions below are there to facilitate discovery, participation, and safety.

Music is also participation

Music can be entertainment, expression, regulation and connection with other people. The important thing is to respect preference, comfortable volume and context.

Discover artists

Create playlists by mood, activity or style and explore recommendations without having to follow trends.

Shows and events

Plan admission, transportation, resting place, ear protection and early departure if necessary.

Create music

Apps, instruments, singing and digital production can become hobbies, studies or work.

Sensory comfort

Headphones, volume and pauses are valid features. The goal is to enjoy, not endure discomfort.

Technology and creativity

Learn, create and experiment

AI and tools

Use AI to study, organize ideas, and create — providing important information.

Programming

Websites, apps, automations and games can start as a curiosity and become a professional skill.

Digital creation

Video, drawing, editing, design, photography and content production.

Security

Strong passwords, two-factor authentication and be careful with unknown links and files.

Animals and the natural world

An interest in animals can open doors to leisure, study, volunteering and professions. The Project already has a specific area on autism and the animal world.

Explore the animal world

Social life

Friendships, dating and limits

Amizade

You don't need to have many friends. Safe relationships respect limits, interests and different forms of communication.

Namoro

Affection, dating and sexuality are part of adult life. Accessible information helps to build safe choices.

Consentimento

Yes, no and “I need to think” need to be respected. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Conflitos

Disagreeing is part of relationships. Threats, blackmail, control and exposure are not signs of care.

Practical life

Autonomy with support is also autonomy

Dinheiro

Simple budget, PIX, card, online shopping and how to recognize scams.

Transporte

Plan routes, use maps, have a plan B and ask for information when necessary.

Home and routine

Organization, food, hygiene, sleep and division of tasks in a possible way.

Ask for help

Autonomy also includes knowing when to ask for support and explaining what you need.

Safe Internet

Before trusting, check

Golpes

Be wary of urgency, promise of a prize, request for code, password, PIX or photo of document.

Privacy

Avoid publishing addresses, routine, documents, real-time location and financial data.

Unknown people

Don't send intimate images, money or documents to someone you only know online.

Cyberbullying

Blocking, reporting and asking for help are valid forms of protection. Keep evidence when it is safe to do so.

Important: This area is educational and discovery. There is no set of interests “for autistic people” or “for people with Down Syndrome”. Preferences are individual and can change throughout life.
