My Profile & Avatar
A personal corner of your Members Space for profile choices, interests, accessibility, privacy and the future Aspie Answers avatar and personalisation experience.
A Simple Profile That Can Grow With You
Your profile can become the personal home for the choices that help shape your Members Space, without requiring you to fill in everything.
Your Aspie Answers Space
This area can become home to the profile information, avatar and preferences that you choose to use within your Members Space.
You will not need to complete every option to access useful resources or explore Aspie Answers.
✨ Personalisation GrowingRepresent Yourself Your Way
An avatar can give you a friendly way to personalise your Members Space without requiring you to upload a personal photograph.
Build Something That Feels Like You
The future avatar experience can offer different ways to represent yourself — from illustrated people and symbols to Companion-inspired and personal-style choices.
The aim is choice rather than forcing everyone into the same kind of profile picture.
People Avatar
A friendly illustrated person with different appearance, clothing and style choices.
Companion-Inspired
A playful option inspired by the wider Aspie Answers Companion Universe.
Symbol Avatar
Prefer not to use a face? Choose a simple symbol that feels comfortable.
Personal Style
More visual and expressive options can develop as member personalisation grows.
Make the Things You Care About Easier to Find
Interest preferences could eventually help shape useful shortcuts, suggestions and resource pathways around the parts of Aspie Answers that matter most to you.
✨ What Could Interest Personalisation Eventually Do?
Interests could help the Members Space organise shortcuts and discovery without hiding the rest of Aspie Answers from you.
Shape the Experience Around What Helps
Personalisation can bring together profile choices, interests, accessibility, privacy, Companion preferences and communication options without expecting every member to configure everything.
💜 What Good Personalisation Should Do
The aim is not to collect as much information as possible. Personalisation should make the Members Space easier, more relevant and more comfortable to use.
Make Your Members Space More Comfortable to Use
Different members may prefer different ways of reading, navigating and interacting online. Accessibility choices should help support those differences.
Text & Reading
Future display preferences could include useful text-size and reading-comfort options.
Future preferenceReduced Motion
Motion should be kept purposeful, with reduced-motion support respected where animations or transitions are used.
Already consideredLayout & Spacing
Clear sections, generous spacing and predictable page patterns can make longer content easier to follow.
Core design principleColour & Contrast
Future options can explore additional ways to support visual comfort while maintaining readable contrast.
Growing areaClear Navigation
Predictable buttons, jump links and easy routes back to your Dashboard can reduce unnecessary searching.
Built across member pagesMobile-Friendly Access
Member pages should adapt across desktop, tablet and mobile without losing their main pathways.
Responsive design🌱 Accessibility Is Already Part of the Build
Not every accessibility feature needs to wait for a future preferences panel. Some principles can be built directly into the Members Space from the beginning.
Your Profile Remains Your Choice
Personalisation should never require you to share more about yourself than you want to. Privacy and choice belong alongside every member feature.
💜 You Should Be Able to Use Aspie Answers Without Oversharing
You should not need to use a photograph, fill in every profile field or publicly share personal information simply to access useful resources.
As member features grow, the aim should be to make it clear what belongs to your private account and what, if anything, you choose to make visible in future interactive or community spaces.
Private Account Information
Some information may be needed for account access or member functionality, but that does not mean it should automatically become public.
What You Choose to Show
If future community features include visible profiles, members should have clear information about what other people can see.
🌿 Privacy Should Be Easy to Understand
Privacy choices work best when they are clear, predictable and written in everyday language.
Connection Should Still Feel Safe
If Aspie Answers grows more interactive over time, member profiles and community spaces should be built around respect, boundaries, choice and clear safety pathways.
Respect Different Experiences
Members may communicate differently, have different support needs and understand situations in different ways. Respect should remain a basic community expectation.
Community principlePersonal Boundaries
Members should be able to decide what they share, which conversations they join and when they want to step away.
Member choiceClear Reporting
If interactive community features are introduced, reporting inappropriate behaviour should be easy to find and understand.
Future safety featureBlock & Step Away
Future community tools should consider ways for members to limit unwanted interaction and leave conversations without unnecessary pressure.
Future member controlModeration & Guidelines
Community spaces need understandable expectations and responsible moderation rather than relying on members to manage difficult situations alone.
Required before launchParticipation Is Optional
Members should still be able to access useful Aspie Answers content without joining social or community features.
Always a choice💬 There Can Be More Than One Way to Participate
A future Aspie Answers community should not assume that everybody wants to communicate in the same way.
Make Companion Support Easier to Find
As the Companion Universe grows, profile preferences could eventually help members return more easily to the Companions, teams and support themes that feel most useful to them.
Favourite Companions
Members could eventually save the Companions they especially enjoy or find helpful.
Future preferenceSupport Themes
Choose areas such as planning, learning, feelings, rest, pacing or everyday support.
Future preferenceCompanion Resource Interests
Help make relevant Companion planners, activities, guides and tools easier to discover.
Growing possibilityPlanning & Executive Function
Connect more easily with Companion content around routines, tasks, organisation and planning.
Support pathwayLearning Support
Make learning, curiosity and flexible-thinking Companion content easier to return to.
Support pathwayRest, Pacing & Wellbeing
Connect more easily with Companion resources focused on feelings, rest, pacing and wellbeing.
Support pathway✨ What Could Companion Personalisation Eventually Do?
The goal would be to make familiar Companion content easier to reach while keeping the full Companion Universe available to explore.

Visit Companion Corner →Personalisation Is There to Help
Your profile can support your Members Space, but it should never become another checklist you feel expected to finish.
💜 Your Profile Does Not Need to Tell Your Whole Story
You should be able to use member resources without feeling pressured to complete every field, choose every preference or share more about yourself than you want to.
You can change your preferences over time, ignore options that do not help and keep your profile as simple as you like.
