Autistic advisors
Paid contributors with lived experience who can assess dignity, clarity, sensory considerations, and whether the Standard is useful in real visits.
Public accountability record
Validator Register
A public changelog for the evidence behind The Standard. We publish what is ready, what is open, and what has not been externally validated yet.
Current register state
Framework published
External validation: none completed. No validators, endorsements, partner organizations, or review outcomes are listed here.
How this register works
A claim-control surface, not a badge wall.
This page records the status of external validation of the AutismCertified Standard—not certification outcomes for businesses. A published framework is a starting point. It becomes stronger only when independent, scoped feedback is completed and documented.
Credentialed specialists
Qualified practitioners who can examine whether training and operational requirements are responsible, bounded, and supported by appropriate evidence.
Accessibility and legal reviewers
Appropriate specialists who can identify where the Standard needs clearer accessibility or legal boundaries. Their input does not replace jurisdiction-specific advice.
Pilot participants
Families and participating locations who can report whether the process, evidence requests, and pre-visit information are workable in practice.
Evidence gates
What must happen before a validation claim.
- 1Scope and conflict disclosure are recorded before review begins.
- 2The relevant draft, version, and review questions are shared with the reviewer.
- 3Feedback is retained in a review record; substantive changes are linked in the changelog.
- 4No reviewer is presented as an endorser unless they explicitly authorize that statement.
- 5No validation outcome is published without a completed, attributable review record and consent to publish the stated level of detail.
State vocabulary
- Published
- The framework is publicly available. This is not external validation.
- Open
- A validation need or review lane is identified, but no completed validation is recorded.
- In review
- A review has begun and is not yet complete. No approval is implied.
- Completed
- A review record is complete for a defined scope. Any public summary must name its evidence and limits.
- Not validated
- No completed external validation exists for the stated scope.
