ORIGIN.

The Origin of Autistic Guide to the Galaxy®

Autistic Guide to the Galaxy® (AGTTG) was created to address a gap in accessible, relevant resources for autistic adults. Born from a passion for psychology and personal experience, AGTTG aims to provide educational and supportive resources to the autistic community.

AGTTG is not a traditional business; it is a self-funded, personal project created out of a desire to help others. The platform combines psychological insights, personal experience, and a commitment to sharing valuable information while remaining focused on offering practical support to autistic individuals.

Building from the Ground Up

Launched in 2022, AGTTG operates without external investment or funding.

By 2024, AGTTG grew to reach over 1.7 million views, creating a space for autistic adults to connect and learn. While the platform has grown, it continues to operate as a passion project, driven by the founder’s desire to support the community.

Otik Academy™

In 2025, AGTTG launched Otik Academy™, a subscription-based e-learning platform tailored for autistic adults. Otik Academy covers topics such as autism, mental health, well-being, and life skills, designed to empower individuals with strategies for navigating life authentically.

Despite its subscription model, Otik Academy remains focused on providing support, rather than commercial gain.

What is an Otik?

An Otik is more than just a character—it’s a symbol of resilience, curiosity, and the journey of self-discovery. Born from the world of Rise of the Otiks, these fictional beings navigate challenges that mirror the real-world experiences of autistic individuals, learning to understand themselves and thrive in a world that often misunderstands them.
