Submission Deadlines

The Autism Asperger's Digest Magazine is published on a bi-monthly schedule: January, March, May, July, September and November. Article slots fill quickly and are scheduled 6-8 months in advance.

General Submission Guidelines

  • All articles must be autism/Asperger's focused and autism/Asperger's specific.
  • Word count: 1200-2000 for most articles; 1000-1200 for first person accounts/personal experiences. Articles of more than 2500 words will not be considered, unless previously discussed and agreed upon.
  • The tone/style of the magazine is conversational and friendly.
  • Request complete Submission Guidelines by emailing Editor@AutismDigest.com.

Educational Articles and Stories - Guidelines

  • The magazine's focus is on offering practical, helpful, useable information that parents, educators or service-related professionals can incorporate into their daily routine to benefit children or adults with ASD..
  • Articles accepted for publication have a strong 'hands-on' approach to the subject matter, rather than being a genreal overview of a topic.
  • Of high interest: articles on effective strategies or treatment programs [traditional and alternative] related to behavior, communication, sensory processing, social skills, recreation/leisure, daily living/self-help skills and social connection.
  • If the article is educational, instructional, incorporates 'how to' tips, shares strategies or ways of working with individuals with ASD, it's probably a good fit for our magazine.
