Welcome

Welcome to Autism Raw: Unscripted Journey (the “Site”), a personal blog authored by me, Nicholas Soo — a father, advocate, and storyteller navigating the beautiful complexities of raising an autistic child.

The contents of this blog are deeply personal, often emotional, and sometimes challenging to read — because that is the truth of our journey. By continuing to access or use this Site, you agree to the terms outlined in this Disclaimer. If you disagree, I encourage you to exit respectfully.

1. Personal Narratives and Opinions

The thoughts shared here are my own — born from lived experience, love, heartbreak, hope, and a fair amount of coffee. They do not represent the views of any organizations, employers, medical institutions, or communities I may be associated with. I speak as a father, not a clinician.

This blog is a chronicle of one family’s unscripted life. Autism is a spectrum, and every individual’s journey is different. What works for us may not work for you — and that’s okay.

2. Not Medical or Professional Advice

Nothing on this blog should be interpreted as professional advice — medical, psychological, educational, legal, or financial. I am not a doctor, therapist, or special needs educator. I’m a parent doing his best.

Please consult qualified professionals for any decisions related to health, therapy, schooling, or care for your child or loved one. If a post or anecdote here helps spark an idea or give comfort — wonderful. But don’t let it replace guidance from those trained to help.

3. Emotional Sensitivity and Respect

This blog may include topics that are emotionally charged: diagnosis, meltdowns, grief, hope, educational struggles, therapy fatigue, and family dynamics. My intent is never to generalize or stereotype, but to show vulnerability in hopes that others feel less alone.

Please read with compassion. If you find something disagreeable or triggering, I welcome polite dialogue — but I do not tolerate hostility or disrespect in comments or emails.

4. External Links and Resources

I sometimes share links to articles, tools, schools, or support services. These are based on my own research or suggestions I’ve received. I do not control the content of third-party sites and cannot guarantee their accuracy or relevance. Inclusion of any external link does not imply endorsement, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Use external resources at your own discretion.

5. Comments and Community Engagement

I deeply value meaningful conversations and welcome comments that are thoughtful and constructive. However, I reserve the right to remove comments that are:

– Dismissive or offensive toward autistic individuals or caregivers
– Promotional or spammy
– Personal attacks or trolling

Let’s keep the space respectful. We’re here to learn from one another.

6. Liability Limitation

This blog is provided “as is,” with no guarantees. I am not liable for any loss, distress, misunderstanding, or action taken as a result of reading this content. Use the Site at your own risk.

7. Copyright Notice

All written content on Autism Raw: Unscripted Journey, unless otherwise noted, is the intellectual property of Nicholas Soo. You are welcome to quote, cite, or share excerpts with proper credit and a link back to the source. Please do not reproduce full articles or use my words without permission.

This is a space built on trust and honesty — let’s keep it that way.

8. Updates to this Disclaimer

I may update this Disclaimer as the blog evolves, especially as I explore broader themes or collaborations. Changes will be reflected on this page without prior notice. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of those updates.
