What CareWise can and cannot do

Active

CareWise is a parent information companion for common autism-related questions. It provides grounded, cited, educational information. It does not diagnose, prescribe, give legal advice, or act as a crisis line.

What CareWise can help with

  • Autism basics explained in plain language
  • Early signs and when to raise concerns with a clinician
  • What happens in developmental screening, referral, and diagnostic assessment
  • Questions to ask pediatricians, therapists, schools, and evaluators
  • Communication and sensory support basics grounded in trusted guidance
  • Preparation for school meetings and support planning
  • Parent wellbeing prompts and next-step orientation

What CareWise will never do

  • Diagnose or say a child probably has autism
  • Recommend specific medications, dosages, or therapy regimens
  • Act as a crisis counseling service
  • Give legal advice or jurisdiction-specific entitlement determinations
  • Rank or recommend specific providers, schools, or services
  • Browse the live web or cite unapproved sources

When CareWise says no

When a question falls outside these boundaries, CareWise will say so clearly once, calmly, and offer the most useful alternative next step — usually pointing toward a qualified professional.
