Thanks for the nice community. I’d like to give a small suggestion: to use the link format !community@server instead of the full https link in the relevant communities section in the sidebar, because it makes it easier for people to click on and subscribe themselves, even if they’re from different lemmy instances.
Example: to use !Autism@kbin.social, instead of https://lemmy.world/c/Autism@kbin.social. The first format will work for people from any server, but the second one will only work for people from lemmy.world.
When I view/c/autism I only see posts that are older than 15 days old. I can see newer posts when viewing “all”. The same bug occurs whether I am in an app or using a browser. Does anyone know who to contact about this. Or is something wrong with my settings.
It looks like this is turning into a defacto autism “fediverse place”. Or are there others? I liked /r/autisticadults as well as a few of the other ND tilted subs.
I’m so relieved to find this! I’m going to miss r/autism, but I really look forward to making new friends here! Reddit has been something of a coping mechanism and self regulating tool for so long, it’s comforting to know that I have a new home here.
This was me with ants for 3 weeks immediately right after finding the AntsCanada channel. Then I forgot about ants forever. Probably for the best, I might have not been their most responsible god.
r/Aspiememes and r/Autism were both places that I really felt that others understood who I was and how I experienced life. it’s great that people are making their way over here!!
All neurotypes are welcome, so everything counts! While this community might not be specific to ADHD, there is a lot of overlap between autism and ADHD. Enough so that the co-occurence is often written as AuDHD.
There are no rules that say users can’t make andy ADHD posts and due to the co-occurrence, other users might find the post relevant, so go for it. If it gets “too much,” we can address is in a mutually beneficial fashion once it comes up. For now, have fun.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !autism@lemmy.world

No abusive, derogatory, or offensive post/comments e.g: racism, sexism, religious hatred, homophobia, gatekeeping, trolling.
Posts must be related to autism, off-topic discussions happen in the matrix chat.
Your posts must include a text body. It doesn’t have to be long, it just needs to be descriptive.
The admins of our instance work hard to ensure that we have a good place to host our community. They are also helpful at protecting our community from trolls and other malicious actors. They do this for free, so if you appreciate our community, please consider donating to them. The first link is the preferred method, but both work.

Done! Thanks :)

Hi
It looks like this is turning into a defacto autism “fediverse place”. Or are there others? I liked /r/autisticadults as well as a few of the other ND tilted subs.
There are other communities. You can look at our sidebar for relevant communities that we have found.
I’m so relieved to find this! I’m going to miss r/autism, but I really look forward to making new friends here! Reddit has been something of a coping mechanism and self regulating tool for so long, it’s comforting to know that I have a new home here.
This is exciting! I’ve only ever lurked on autism forums before but I really like the friendly vibe here. Looking forward to seeing this place grow. 👍
im excited too! if you have any ideas on how to help this place, feel free to share. it’s a place for all of us.
First post?
yes
Joining from /r/autism

When God finds your comment too revolting
I was replying to a different thread, but the page refreshed me and took me to this one 💀
Thank you for creating this. I look forward to a safe space for discussions.
2 days and 93 subscribers already, good job
thank you! We’re doing it collectively. I’m looking forward to our further growth.
r/Aspiememes and r/Autism were both places that I really felt that others understood who I was and how I experienced life. it’s great that people are making their way over here!!
same! we’re doing it 😀
I look forward to seeing our friends in r/aspiememes join us.
(And now that I’ve contributed, back to my usual low-communication lurking o_o)
yes! aspiememes was one of the few remaining subs I would visit. most of my memes are from there
You should pin this post to the top
Good idea! I’m thinking of writing up a quick little intro on the purpose and goals for the sub, then including in this post. Thanks for the tip 🙂
does add count?
